It was a year ago today that we launched this new board to continue what was essentially a 22 year long conversation. Still going after 365 days, still gaining members (slowly but still), and the conversation, in my opinion, is as good as it ever was.
I’d like to thank each and every member here, this place doesn’t work without you. It would just be me talking to myself like normal. A message board is only as good as the content posted by its members, and we definitely do not lack anything in terms of member contributions.
And a special thanks to my mod squad, not only for helping to keep the ship righted, but for helping me figure out how to run a message board. I don’t know all of the answers, and often lean on these guys to see if I am right or to get a second opinion. An invaluable resource, these guys are.
Year one in the books. Let’s hope Year Two is just as great.

Thank you, Mfitz. You took on quite a responsibility and have handled it well, especially considering what a wacky year it has been.
But have you bought any guitars this year? I'm concerned.

Thanks again, Mike! And Happy Anniversary to Moe's 2.0! I think it was on this day that I registered for this place, in 2020.
I saw fit to post 1,386 times in 2020. I hope it wasn't due to you-know-what.

Hey: I'll join this "thank you, Mike" dog pile.
Being able to jabber and vent here has been a real aid to maintaining some semblance of mental health during this COVID mess.
Can't think of a better bunch of misfits with whom to spend a year (and counting) under house arrest!
And though he evidently chose to bail, thanks also to Chris for creating the FDP, which served as the "jumping off" point for this place and provided a ready-made "base" membership so that MT2 didn't have to be started completely from scratch.
Long live MT2!

HBD, MT2. We're only one year old but we act like we're at least two.
Thanks for taking us in Mike -- it's a rare person who is immune to the combined smell of Ben-Gay, Old Spice, and moth balls.

That would make a good band name, or has that been said? |

I prefer to be called a rocker. Like Ringo in A Hard Day's Night you can combine them and be a mocker. |

Not a one. I think I only played once. |

Still disappointed that Fitz & The Tantrums was taken They're not even a real band! No guitar player. Even DEVO had a guitar player.  |

From Wikipedia: “In another interview, Fitzpatrick talked about his decision to not use guitars in the band. "I did want to try and make a big sounding record without guitars," he said. "For me, I just feel like in any music that has a band, the guitar is always there, it's always featured, it's always prevalent. I'm just sick of hearing it." Lame. |

I knew there was a reason I didn't care for him |
