Way ta go Billy!
Keep up the good work!

now if I could ONLY figure out how to bring that many people to my gigs

cheers!

This is all because Billy ROCKS.

Kudos for getting the forum going. IMO you could build this site into a great success if you get a real review system going like old HC had before they destroyed it years ago. Not a forum based review system, but a real review database. There are several open source options out there for that. After you get a decent review base, it would attract lots of new users that weren't even original HC members. Also consider setting up a blog to post daily articles on music news. Have a bunch of forumites commit to writing one article a week for the blog, they send it to you and you approve and post. To do all this, you need to set up a base site and make the forum a subsection of the site in it's own folder or subdomain. If you need help with any of this, let me know.

Who is that guy?

Looks like Elessar [Sly] and fretless are winning

Billy, I'd be happy to donate to keep this ongoing. Don't take the financial hit yourself, especially moving to a dedicated server. It was cool enough that you, steve and Justin created places for us to move to so let us help keep it going.

shit, did i miss the forums first removed post?

like the review idea, bring back RipGlitter

FUCK TGP

i posted a link there to this place and they deleted it. they talk shit about hc and link hc all the fucking time and then delete a link to working forum.

Seriously Awesome, Billy!!! I haven't been back to HC since logging on here. It's growing a lot faster than I thought it would.

Fuck those guys, let them be with their own kind. We'll have our own following and community.

it just pisses me off.

here is the pm i got and my reply:

I deleted your post because you are being rude by being on TGP and trying to get traffic rerouted to another forum. Imagine being at someone's party and trying to tell the guests to go to a party at someone else's house.

Brian


I basically asked him why it was ok to link and "rudely" bash HC every single day but not ok to polilety link to a working forum. i told him TGP was not for everyone from hc and we were just looking for a new place. i asked why if his party was so sweet why he was so worried about a forum that was started days ago. sounds like they they can be rude when they want to but then make up stupid shit when it fits better for them.



i am over it. that place sucks. not sure how many times in the last 2 weeks people have actually asked how to turn amps on and off. they just collect gear and look down on everyone. fuck them, glad we have this place

Tgp is ridiculous. Straight foolish though there are some killer players over there.

You handled that well, Master of Yogi. Let them be, we got our own thing going, and it's gonna get better.
