Stands for Harmony Central Amp Forum. A place where scum guitar players hang out and discuss shit online. It is a purely man & boy zone. There are no females on HCAF. 50% of topics are about guitar playing the rest are off topic.

HCAF is dominated by metalheads. But if you wanna bring teh br00talz and you scoop your mids or have an amp powered by bees you will be laughed, and possibly battered, out of town.

It is plagued by trolls and has handbag drama going on a near daily basis. In comparison to other forums there is little moderation. An atmosphere of self-moderated anarchy is prevalent.

Keywords and phrases you should familiarise yourself with before you go to HCAF are: A2M, Gape, Asshat, Douche, Fucking Douche, Goatse, Gain, Butt Rape, Fucktard, Tweedbucket is a fucking cunt, Tubes, The inhabitants of Open Jam should be exterminated, Tone, Troll, Brutal, Wanking, STFU NOOB.
OJ Troll: I feel inadequate with my 15W Solid State Combo. I am so jealous of the HCAF guys with their large collections of powerful tube amplifiers and cabinets. I think I will go and troll them.

HCAF Guy #1: Go fuck yourself douche.
HCAF Guy #2: What a fucking asshat.
HCAF Guy #3: A2m/Gape?
HCAF Guy #4: Murder/Suicide?
HCAF Guy #5: Your mom is a crap fuck!!
HCAF Guy #6: pics?
HCAF Guy #7: I'd hit it.
HCAF Guy #8: :mad:
HCAF Guy #9: :love:
HCAF Guy #10: :confused:

The greatest forum on the planet. Ostensibly a place for people to discuss guitar tones (which they often do) it is often host to funny picture threads, hilarious n00b bashing, and humorous (and often ambiguous) use of emoticons. Also contains a number of "clubs" to which people profess their allegiance in their signature, which occasionally are "joined" to support for a particular manufacturer, e.g. the Mesa Boogie Mob or the VHT Death Squad, but are more often whimsical and rather meaningless, such as Renoir1's :o club and various other emoticon clubs. It has either popularized or invented notable memes, such as numerous pictures involving the faces or bodies of the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wilde and moshzilla photoshopped into various amusing locations, and slang as well, such as "teh br00talz" and "porcupwned." Despite all of its shenanigans, however, HCAF is actually quite a useful resource for all manner of amp- and guitar-related material, and can be very useful to beginners and seasoned tone veterans alike. The members tend to be very opinionated, however, with a notable tend towards tube amp-purism, and a general (though not universal) dislike towards certain manufacturers, such as Crate, Bugera, Krank and others which are seen as overpriced, overhyped, of low quality, or a combination the above.
(Topic on hcaf veers into a far-fetched religious discussion)

Poster A: In my life, the lack of religion is the greatest source of mental peace and also comedy, as I view shit like this and can't help but laugh. Break out, baby.

Poster B: Just remember:

Jesus is coming... that's why he's too busy to visit us here on earth.

Jesus saves...and he gets 25% interest.

Poster C: Jesus saves ... and at THESE prices, that IS a miracle!!!

Poster D: Jesus was my co-pilot but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him

Poster E: Bugera 6260 :o

Poster F: lol only on HCAF :cop:

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
