As I have been saying here and elsewhere, this version of Moe's is set up on a free site for a reason. It's not business. I have taken the reins for the sole purpose of making sure that we have a place to continue conversation that for some has been going on for 20+ years. I am not seeking any monetary contributions because the site doesn't cost anything. Even still, people are using me if they can contrubute something to compensate me for my effort in setting up and running the new site. I am not asking, nor requiring that. Moreover, I am not offering anything in exchange, there's no stars here (other than those the site issues based on your post count/status). Basically it would be like putting something in a virtual tip jar. That said, I have set up an email, MoesTavern2.0@gmail.com that can accept PayPal. Putting it there in case someone feels obligated, and so people stop asking me! Please make sure anything sent is via "Friends and Family" gift, not for goods or services. Those who do make a contribution of at least $30 will receive a “Supporting Member” designation.

Can we do something similar for Chris Greene? He was our forum host for 20 years and barely asked anything of us. And here he is serving again as a moderator on this excellent new forum.
I know that the knowledge I gained on the FDP continues on and I feel it’s appropriate we all pony up to show Chris what the FDP meant to us.
And not for nothing, Mr. Greene is selling his FDP Stratocasters here on the forum. This is an absolute disgrace IMO. Those guitars belong with Chris if you ask me, and it would be shameful if we forum members accepted any other outcome.
None of us would be here without Chris Greene. Let’s show him we appreciate that!

Let’s show him we appreciate that! That’s up to Chris, but we’re not using this site to solicit funds for anyone, it’s a free site. If he is willing to accept your honorarium, I don’t think it will have any impact on him selling his guitars though, and I don’t know if I would call his decision to sell them a “disgrace” since he’s doing what he wants with them.

Gotcha! For the record I didn’t mean it’s his disgrace, I meant it’s ours as former members who benefited from the site for years.

I’m quite confident he’s not selling them because he needs the money. No, I wouldn’t imagine that’s the case. Still I think it’d be nice for the former FDP membership to rally together and be like hey, “you aren’t selling these, they belong with you!” It’s not about the money it’s about the history. A symbolic move of gratitude. Sort of like the end of the movie “The Patriot” where they build Colonel Martin a new house and surprise him with it at the end. The guitars were kind of an aside to my original thought though...Which is that Chris wasn’t adequately compensated for his years of dedication to the FDP. At least not compared against the wealth of knowledge that flowed from the forum.

I'm just going to drop it since I don't think the two are connected. Chris is certainly able to keep the guitars and I don't think if you collected and handed him $3800 he would then keep them.
I'd be quite interested but my days of owning $2,000 guitars are long behind me. I don't think I ever broke that barrier, actually...
