I wondered where the hell you guys went!

[Barklessdog]

Steve was gracious to us and really we all met because of Steve, because of that I can and wont ever have ill will toward him
Steve is trying to go on to the next level of forums, he's not there yet. I think it's a great idea if he can get it right.

I believe Steve is trying to build something that can make money on ( NOTHING wrong with that)

I think us old timers just want sameness. We all had such a great time in the early Pit, I don't think anyone has yet to replicate that experience till now.

Leaving aside the Pit's problems, how much of this Web 2 stuff does anyone really find useful?

Myspace, great for networking as a add-on to a band website and I've kind of thought about it for personal use, but never found the time. No interest in Facebook or any of the others. Photo hosting sites are just useful for sending pictures to friends and family, or posting on boards like this. We have Google Calendar set up for the band, which is really good.  That's about it for me.

If we were really going to the next level, shouldn't it be an island on Second Life? (http://secondlife.com/) In the virtual Fender bar everything would be bolted together, bit like an Ikea showroom. The Gibson bar would look great, but with rough edges. And everything would be chrome, except when Uwe walked in. The avatars should be interesting, I think I'd go back to the hedgehog.

I'll always be a fan of all the good things Steve did with the Pit. In fact, Steve's post was how I found out about this place. As long as there are interesting people posting interesting things there, I'll still be involved. That being said, I was missing the camaraderie that we had as various people found new online homes. The thing that amazes me here is that after a week, the Post has more familiar names than I've seen in one place in the last year or more. So while I haven't given up on being a Pitter, I now consider myself a full fledged Poster as well. Props to Dave and Uwe... Well done!

Well said George, I agree. The 'post looks to be shaping up to be a great group of guys in short order. It'd be cool if there was a way to have here and the Pit be more brother-boards than competition for each other.
If you don't post on the Pit any more I'll be glad to see you here, otherwise I hope to see everyone on both boards.

If you don't post on the Pit any more I'll be glad to see you here,

Nothing against any other site but having to go to four different places to show off or post something new was a pain in arse. After a while you just did not do it and thus lost touch with people I considered friends or at least people who had great input and humorous opinions. Some people just disappeared entirely.

I missed the days of the latest Aussie Mark gaudy Shirt threads, trying to out bid or slag something from under Frankensteinburger (RIP) and Hippie Sandwich's latest $5,000 bass acquisition.

Now we can just stay here and not have to wander the internet to repost the same thing four times.

Also with no animosity toward anyone or any place. We always needed a real home anyway. The kids have grown up and moved out into their own house- OUR HOUSE!

Okay, but being the token "girl" I need my own bedroom and bathroom, you guys all have to share!

If only Foover would resurface- She was a great person, I really enjoyed her posts.

[PhilT]

She hangs out elsewhere.

Steve has been the generous owner of the field, but Dave has always been my shepherd.

[Dave W]

  Thanks, Daniel, but I can't take credit for the way most of us got to know each other...it really just sort of happened around me.

Hello George nice to see you.

Hello George nice to see you.

Thanks Tony. I like your avatar!

He brought a plant as a gift for the new place!

"Thanks Tony. I like your avatar!" Thanks George.                                                                                                   "He brought a plant as a gift for the new place!"  I thought the place could use a plant or two.
