I'm also on strat-talk.com and thetonerooms.com quite a bit. I probably a member of most guitar forums but GC, start-talk and the tonerooms are where I hangout. I used to use twitter quite a bit but it got too noisy.

Whodathunk? Cancel culture run amok. A Liberal controlled (and taxpayer funded) media agency takes over GC, applies their vaunted Bill C10 censorship restrictions - and it doesn't go as planned? "Be careful what you wish for ..........."

Guess I should introduce myself I'm old, really old. Bought myself a new Strat for my 40th birthday back in '92 and have been playing ever since. Went through a metric ton of gear over the years while I still worked but have finally started to get rid of stuff. I think I'm down to about 12 guitars and 3 or 4 amps these days. We don't play out anymore, and not sure if we ever will again, none of us getting any younger. Still having fun playing and recording in the basement. I've been on most guitar forums over the years, TGP, Fender Forum, The Les Paul Forum, TDPRI, Birds and Moons, EBMM, The Axe House, and most frequently for the past 15 years or so on Guitars Canada. I'm still an Admin over there but trying to wean myself off it. It's tough though, I've invested a lot of time there. It's not what it once was though. I love classic rock and blues, and grew up in the UK in the 50's and 60's, so my taste runs to Brit 60's bands. Favourite guitar players, Green, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, Moore, early Beck, huge Steve Marriott fan. Great to be here and hopefully we can help grow the membership. Welcome to the forum. We’ve been existing with just a handful of members here for a long time, it’s amazing we made it this far. The recent influx of members from GC and other places lately has been great but we’re still pretty small. We’re open to ideas to help improve the place and have already made a few changes. Hope you like it here.

Good lord, if the mods are bailing that really says something about the place. It is a large forum like TDPRI?

I like the vibe here of less people. Yeah, I like this forum's size too. Most of us are emigrants from other forums that either got closed down or left another forum en masse, like the GC guys.

I had a run in with some yahoo that told a newbie about putting a ping pong ball in acetate to use as a clear coat. I retired from a plant where we made paint and other coatings. 24+ years. acetate is very flammable. but not according to this yahoo.

I like the theory discussions and the improv challenges at Strat-Talk. I ignore the posts about starts

Guess I should introduce myself too. I too am a GC refugee coming to this land for the promise of freedom of speech and no jackboots banging on my door in the night. Been playing since I was 8 and haven't improved since I was 12. Still gigging but Covid has really stomped on that one. Do have a first acoustic duo gig this Friday - first of 2021. I can be a pain in the ass sometimes - but next to colchar I'll always look like a saint

..........and by human, they mean autonomous, mind-controlled woke progger without free thought, that will submit to all draconian requirements they demand for their peaceful existent, while they burn it all down.

I didn't get that. And that Captcha thing is pathetically fucking useless. And extremely annoying. Just provide the "I'm not a robot" check box FFS. Totally agree. I thought that captcha was considered outdated?

I was introduced to this forum by a member on another forum that I don't really agree with the path they are going down under new ownership. I realize I know many of the members here from that forum. Thanks for that my friend !
I have only briefly looked at this forum and find it informative and hope it's allows for open conversations and options without censorship or doctrines that delete posts that do not fit the criteria.
I really like to discuss guitars, amps, pedals and home recording. I have played on and off since the mid seventies, never made any money doing so.
Cheers
