Appreciation Thread Appreciation

axslinger · 12-09-2010, 02:13 PM

Do you appreciate appreciation threads? If so, post here! Personally, I hate em. People only appreciate what they own. If they didn't personally own one, they wouldn't appreciate it. So, it's not really about the object that they appreciate but appreciate the fact that they own one and are therefore somehow special.

What do you think? Do you appreciate my non-appreciation of appreciation threads? Or do you appreciate the appreciation of the appreciation threads? I'd appreciate your input.

Appreciably yours...

They are a great way to get allot of people to chime in on a particular amp. It opens ip allot of eyes to new tones. No problem with them here.

You're mean one mr grinch...

I appreciate the fact that you don't appreciate appreciation threads, but I actually appreciate appreciation threads. Admittedly, a lack of appreciation for appreciation threads does not indicate a lack of appreciation for the topic being appreciated. However, it may be the case that people who do not appreciate a given topic may or may not initiate an appreciation thread just to demonstrate their objectivity. And conversely, there are those who will not initiate an appreciation thread despite the fact that the appreciate the subject matter for the appreciation thread that never was. Although I've posted in your appreciation thread, I am not voicing my appreciation or my lack of appreciation.

I have to go somewhere to be appreciated...so I come to MLP. Appreciate on, or don't, it's all good, and appreciated.

i like it when someone starts an apprecation thread about a musician or band that i have not heard of. i often find some new music that i like that way. just my 2.4 cents

Didn't you just start a thread about this in the Backstage the other day?

Am I the only one who finds "Show us your...." threads annoying?

In response to both posts: I personally like seeing other folks gear. I find it interesting to see what people are using.

You have to understand the purpose of (at least some of) them. Sure, people only appreciate what they own, I won't disagree there, but some people want to find out who else has had good, perhaps raving, experiences with certain gear, and often you find they've tweaked them, and done cool things to them that you yourself might like to try. If you have an issue with the titles, fine. You see the same thing in all the 'fan club' threads. Same idea, different name.

I started the Silverface Appreciation thread mainly because they get so much bad press on "the internets", and I love them. That thread was a place for like-minded individuals to get together. Just like MLP, but on a smaller scale. This place, after all, is one giant 'Les Paul Appreciation' community, like it or not.

I started a Marshall appreciation thread. I don't own any, and I won't for sometime. Your basis for not liking appreciation threads is silly, man. I like lots of things I don't own, and there are plenty others who would say the same.

I appreciate your appreciation of this appreciation thread, and would like to show my own personal appreciation for appreciation threads as well. In fact, not only do I appreciate appreciation threads, but I also appreciate appreciation threads that appreciate appreciation threads. Thus I appreciate appreciating appreciation threads, and hopefully the appreciation is mutual, and people appreciate me for appreciating so much.

I hope I didn't spell appreciate wrong somewhere in there.

Nah, bullshit.

I'd happily chip in for a tweed Deluxe appreciation thread, and I've never owned one. But I've played them and they're unreal.

I appreciates 'em like I appreciates other things I don't 'own'.
