Re: SurfGuitar101 Yahoo Group to Cease Operations May 31 2006

Jeff (bigtikidude) - 30 Apr 2006 20:05:19

Spanky,
I hear ya and agree that some may not like the Forum style, I
have adapted pretty well to the new forum style, but have noticed
that when I do a review on the front page of the sg101 site,
that i think that people are missing it by going to the forum
and passing it by.
I am on 12 different yahoo groups. so I'll still read everything
on all of those plus the new web site forum also, but I'm a
glutton for punishment.
Hope you can rally up all the straglers from here, and cowabunga,
and Reverborama and get them all united again. seems to have
fallen apart a bit lately.
