Some of us are legacy FDPers, but over time that will be a subset of our population. Are we tavernites now?

We've already coined MT2ers.

Am I going to get sued if I refer to myself as a FDPer?

I would consider myself a FDPer. This is pretty much a club.

I refer to myself, apparently, as the Lead Giraffe Wrangler.

Nothing ever changes. Just like 100 years ago, we're simply refugees looking for a better life in a new land and seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time.
"LOOK, Dad! It's Staten Island!"

MT2ers works for me.
We'll save Moers or Moeites for the apocalypse.

Although the world famous Mandolin Brothers shop has closed, I can still recommend Denino's Pizzeria & Tavern, which was about 8-10 minutes away by car, as the best pizza on Staten Island. Some say Lee's Tavern, but I prefer Denino's. Moe's hasn't yet had its pizza oven installed, but since "MT2 HQ" is in Staten Island, it seems like it should be a given. |

Moers sounds like the nickname for people in a landscaping forum. |

Without anything in the domain that refers to the music/guitar theme of the place? I don’t think there will be a huge growth after all the FDPers migrate in. You either know about the place, or you don’t. So I don’t think FDPers will ever truly become a subset.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of The Simpsons fans show up here and there tho. 😁

Mfitz said some like Giraffe wranglers. I like that but drop the Giraffe. Why can't we just be Wranglers.

Howzabout: FDP transplants can be ..."GWITS"....(Giraffe Wranglers In Training)...non-FDP'rs have to be "NIT-GWITS" (New In Town - Giraffe Wranglers In Training)...or am I over thinking this? (I know, using the word "thinking" is a stretch).

I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of The Simpsons fans show up here and there tho. 😁 Ah, but you may be surprised how people find this place. Over on the FDP I hung out in the Guitar Mods and amp mods sections, and there were a bunch of people that drifted in from their own web search on a specific question about how to fix something or a recommendation for a specific thing on their gear. And if something discussed in Moe's was dissected with a lot of participation on the topic, it would return search hits for folks asking a related question in a Web search engine. How to make a cheese coke, for instance. I think the FDP's lack of now-common social media features (it was an old-school BBS) is the reason younger folks stayed away. That's not a criticism however, because keeping things simple is a good thing. It's just not conducive to how younger people are wired today. |

Geno pretty much nails it... people searched for "How to wire a..." or "What speaker to put in a ..." and ended up on the old site.
Time will tell.

It’s day 3, given the purpose this site was created for, I’m not too concerned about recruiting new members right now.
