I intend to administer this site for everyone, and nothing has to be "my way" exclusively. I welcome the input of our members as to how we can improve.
There are already several topics posted in Town Hall, please go take a look and provide your thoughts.
If you have any additional suggestions, please start a thread in Town Hall to discuss. Thanks!

Glad to see FDPers starting to drift over. Now that Peegoo is aboard, no questions will go unanswered!

Will there be closet in which we can hang our capes?
(I assume that the absence of one is just one of those shake-down-period oversights)

Plenty of parking and I even took off my shoes (sorry about the smell) to keep the place clean. Nice work Mike!

Can you use your own domain on the free boards? If so, I own fenderforums.com and will transfer it to you at no charge if you want it. I will never use it.
I’m glad this group of folks are continuing on and thanks for taking up the challenge of creating the new forum.

Not speaking for Mike but this new site is no longer Fender specific. If he decided to get a domain name, something broader would probably make sense.

Agreed, also I would not want to use a domain name that has another company's copyrighted brand name in it. We're sticking with the current web address for now, if I decide to get a domain name down the line, so be it.

This domain is a pretty simple address in any event. If it were me, I wouldn't bother. If the site turned into a big deal and you moved to paid forum hosting (Vbulletin and the like), that would be a different story.

On that note my first suggestion is that we make shirts mandatory for the guys. For the ladies, well - okay, I'll behave!

You are very welcome.
I have to say, there's a lot of introductory stuff going on, but there's also a large number of threads that seem like we just picked up where we left off and the conversation is continuing. I am very pleased as that is what I was hoping for.

Any interesting observation: on my Mobil phone (android) the detail below my name/Avatar (formerly known as littleuch) isn't visible like it is on desktop/laptop. May be a thing to consider when setting yourself up.
Edit: all detail IS visible if selecting "desktop" from bottom right of page.
Carry on...

Thanks, Mike, for "taking the reins", so to speak, and making the transition "withdrawal free". Choosing the familiar tweed (mustard?) background was a nice segue, too !!

Not at all urgent but... The banner at the top could be a lot cooler looking. Maybe a little more 'Fendery'? Right now it looks kinda brown, you know?

Mike I’ve tried several times to PM you with a question and it - ironically - keeps bouncing it because ‘no member exists with that user name’. Do you have an email address that can be used? It’ll likely be much more reliable, IMHO. Thanks! Dr Bass MD

Dr Bass MD MoesTavern2.0@gmail.com But I am surprised it’s not working as I have received other PMs. Please also try clicking on my profile and then the “Send Message” button. I just sent myself one that way and it worked.

I cannot tell you how happy I am you have stepped up and did this. I was kinda depressed thinking the FDP board was in life support and already missing all you guys. I was losing my purpose in life. Now I have a reason to live a bit longer.

I told you guys for the past few years I wouldn't close the FDP and throw you to the wind. There was always a plan in in my mind to somehow continue the party. I didn't know until the last month that it was going to be this one although on this very same forum site, I created a new Fender Discussion Page but my heart wasn't in it to run it. When I brought the pending closure up in Moe's (the FDP one) that Proboards had free forum software and was there someone who would take the challenge, Mike stepped up. If I wasn't going to run it, it couldn't be the FDP (copyrights and all that jazz) but Mike worked with me to make a new venue that would be similar to the old FDP. He's the new boss and not the same as the old boss. I'm here as a member and a mod. I mean, how could I give up the DOB entirely? ;o)

DOB's can be addicting.
