Evening all, what’s the protocol for new pillocks like me who stumble onto here from another (politer) forum and decide to stick around for the appalling language?
Do I say hello and bore everyone with my mediocre kitlist or just keep feeding in pictures of my dog and cats and hope for the best?
Cheers
Ross
Hi Ross, Welcome! It’s customary to call at least one established member a cunt in your first week. Ask a hifi question and then do the complete opposite and feel a curious anger towards unsalted butter. By Christmas you will be a seasoned member and will enjoy the annual Mince Pie discussion which tends to get a little more lively than say - the poll tax riot.
Thick skin > thick skull 
Yes, You are also required to take the piss out of @Jim and @Professor_Chaos because they like unsalted butted and to tell @Mrs_Maureen_OPinion to feck off because reasons.
Welcome aboard.
EDIT: I have no idea why this took over an hour to post. AA bullshit filter in action I suppose…
Hi 
I like cats and swearing.
There’s a coffee thread . . . this way madness lies.
If you can pretend to brew artis(anal) coffee and wear cunty shoes, you’re sound. Just dive in.
Dogs, cats, coffee and salted butter notwithstanding, there is actually a thread for this kind of thing.
I guarantee that my kit is more mediocre than yours, ner ner ner.
Welcome. If you are aimlessly bitter and angry about just about everything, and convinced of your own righteousness then you’re in the right place.
If you are reading this, your mental breakdown is now so severe that you are hallucinating a hifi forum where angry old men try their best to avoid discussing hifi and instead busy themselves calling one-another “CUNTS!” in as many colourful and creative ways as their limited imaginations will allow.
Here is a brief Beginners Guide To The Voices In Your Head:
It is vital that you regularly kill entire threads stone dead with pedantic non-sequiturs because someone has made a generalisation to which you can think of a single, trivial, irrelevant exception. In this particular mundane fever-dream, hate is a fuel, and this is the refinery.
The harder you try to be funny, the more you will Fail, if you’re going to Fail, (and you will), put some effort into it so that we can all share the rosy glow of an Epic Fail. And Yes, this is where 2003 left its useless memes.
There is a specific thread to flytip the wheelchair-orphans of humour from Facebook and leave them there to die. Spread the hate.
Protip - the Moderation team really, really enjoy themed puns, which sometimes run through unrelated threads like a peg-legged mongol in an egg-and-spoon race. Damn! They love that shit so much…
Here, we Believe in cables Most of us only own very expensive cables - with the right cables, actual hifi systems are redundant: Transcend The Hifi Brother! Cheap cables are a bannable offence.
A casual disregard for mains safety is also an endearing quality in a man: the forum elite regularly meet-up on the first plane of the afterlife (at the end of the Tunnel of Light, see you there!), after ritually removing all of the fuses from our plugs and replacing them with copper bars (lick the socket first, to make sure it’s live, obviously). We make all of our own power cables - typically from dramatically unsuitable bits of low-voltage coax.
Earthing is for poofters.
There is also a special thread where you can pretend to be listening to cool and interesting left-field musical choices. Obviously no-one actually is - it’s a solid diet of Dire Straits, Mantovani, Mrs Mills Sings WWII, and Des O’Connor compilations in reality 
I would say “Have fun!”, but fun is another bannable offence.
PS: USE THE FUCKING SEARCH FUNCTION, YOU CUNT!
Tinder?
Which, of course, isn’t much use here due to the tradition of having somewhat oblique thread titles
The more a thread title sounds like a Vatican Shadow track title, the better. I don’t make the rules.

Playing with Open AI again?
Haha Yes!
As a fully paid-up Gargantuan*, I will mention in passing that if you really want to upset us, you will suggest things like sharing a dessert, fruit-instead-of-cake, and you will say fucking stupid, offensive things like “Mind if I nick a chip?”.
Just don’t - digging shallow graves in remote woodland is bloody hard work and most of us have heart conditions.
*Prefer dogs.
Just as long as you know the sweet spot always belongs to Jim you’ll be fine.
What the actual fucking fuck? No cunt has mentioned Valves yet. Or horns for that fucking matter.
And what about You Tube videos of said systems that most cunts on here fucking love watching?
If only there was a separate, dedicated thread for this type of conversation.
That would mean using the search function
