As Fender Strat Brat pointed out to me the other day, today marks my 10 year anniversary on the Forum. Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone who has provided conversation, insight and advice over the last decade. I haven't been nearly as prolific in posting as many of the other longtime members -- especially in the last couple of years -- but just the same I have genuinely enjoyed getting to know so many of you during my time here. Music and guitars have provided me with so much joy in my 40+ years on this planet; it is always a pleasure to touch base with others who share that enthusiasm. Thank you again -- hopefully, I can get to that 1,000 post total well before my 20th anniversary rolls around! :D -- Steve

Congratulations!

I've got another year to go.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Congrats. I don't think I'm going to make 10 years. I'm bored.

All the UK guys dropped out.

A lot of the main contributors.

It's a shame that a lot of the main contributors have dropped out. More to do with the changing nature of social media I'd imagine than anything else. I still enjoy coming here and checking things out, especially during the summer months when I have *slightly* more free time available -- I have never been a massive consumer of Facebook or Twitter, though. Hope that we can still find ways to keep this place a vibrant community for years to come.

I myself don't think that the ordinary modern social media will properly "replace" the internet forums.

Forums gather specifically interested users, who will register for the particular subject that the forum is about and the discussions involve much less off-hand stuff than, say, on facebook.

The way I see it, FB is dying a slow death. I, for instance, have deleted my account and I doubt I'll make another one. Instagram is cooler, less prompt to BS and much more visual, but it's basically a platform for pictures, not discussions.

Forums have their place and I'll be very sad if they start to fade away.

I agree, Sergio. I still have a FB account but rarely check it. Every time I go on it seems to be moronic political talk, pictures of what people ate for lunch and other mundane talk.

I like that forums like this one exist for people to have in-depth discussions about their shared passions and interests. I also like that it's relatively easy to go back and search the forums for topics that may have been brought up several years ago. It provides a nice resource for people who may not have been around for the original discussions.
