After the successful launch of the new
it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to carry on discussions in two
places. Thus, at the end of May 2006 I will close down this Yahoo Group.
We've had a really good run here, and Yahoo was good to us, but now I
think we are onto something bigger and better over at the new site. I
will keep the group here, as long as Yahoo allows it, but new members
will no longer be accepted and I will use it to only make
announcements from (no new member posts).
If you haven't checked out the new site, I hope you will. The key
features are:
* Members can submit show reports, show announcements, music reviews,
essays, and what have you. These news items are archived on the site,
and other members can rank and leave comments.
* A web based forum area
* An event calendar, where members can submit upcoming shows and
release dates
I hope to add a chat room feature and possibly a group photo area in
the future.
Thank you everyone for participating in this group and making it a
cool place to hang out. I hope you will follow us over to the new site.

Brian,
Do the new forums have RSS? I use RSS to keep up with the discussions.
Thanks
San

Hey San,
I'm pretty sure it does have an RSS, and I think a few people
are using it.
The only thing is I'm not sure if it works for the news/reviews
on the front- home page, and there is also a calender with
events listed on it. So you may have to check out the actual
web site once in awhile.

San,
I don't think the forums have RSS...yet. The stories on the main page do.
I believe there is a "block" I can plug into the board that provides
RSS for the forums. I will look into that.
Thanks,
BN

WOW! I got here in just the nick of time! Of course I've already been
participating at the new site, and I'll keep up my membership here,
even if just to check to see if there's something not mentioned at the
web site.

Well, Brian, it's been fun.
Sorry to see you all go.
Too bad you can't figure out a way to digest the postings
on your new forums site to email to us knuckle-dragging hicks
that don't have DSL.
I, for one, cannot tie up my phone line for hours to read
all the posts.
That's why a mailing list makes sense for me.
I was able to dial up, download, get off the phone line,and
read all the postings every evening after work. I always
looked forward to the knowledge and opinions we shared.
I've learned much from you Cahunas.
I will miss you all.
Twang On!
Bill,
The Indentured Surf

Bill,
your making me all weapy eyed over here. j/k :-)
but seriously, join the 21st century and get DSL.
I just did a few months ago, it's not that much more, if you use
the same online provider as you e-mail account, in dummy
speak anyways.
if not , you can always try back at cowabunga, but that
palce is a ghost town of what it used to be.

While surfguitar101.com has plenty of benefits, I still like the e mail
lists. Obviously I'm on this one, plus reverborama. Sure plenty of
threads come up that get the 'delete' button after scanning the first
couple lines, but plenty more come up that I find interesting that I
might have otherwise missed.
I think some folks are like me and find themselves checking only a
couple of the forums on average. For example, I posted a topic about
baking tapes in the 'recording' section of surfguitar101.com and got
one response after 5 days or so. I then posted the same comment on
reverborama and got tons of useful into and responses.
I chalk it up to the 'intrusiveness' of the e mail lists.
Show listings would be another good example of this. There aren't a
whole lot of shows coming through my neck of the woods, but if I see
one in a town where I know somebody, I'll forward it to them and
encourage them to go. I'm not sure I've checked the show listings on
the web site in the last month. I just never think to.
I'm not bitching. Just noticing some different habits with different
formats. May be that those not opposed to e mail can be happy with
reverborama or some of the other lists out there in addition to the
surfguitar101.com format.
Thoughts?

Well again...the main reason I am closing this Yahoo Group is that I
have my hands full running the other site, and it doesn't makes sense
to have conversations in two places. I'm not dissing the Yahoo Group
format. So for those of you who dig it, or need the email experience,
I encourage you to head over to Reverborama. And Bill, I hope to see
you on the new site when you get DSL or a cable modem. Sorry, there is
no easy way for me to mail out forum posts at this time. An RSS feed
may be in reach however, you could at least see what the latest forum
topics are via RSS and then click on the ones that interest you.

I dunno, clearly the new site has advantages here. Want to go to a
show, or just see what shows are coming up? Just check out our calendar:

Agreed. I know a few people who just cannot deal with the web
forum...it totally seems to confuse them. On the other hand, a lot of
people dig the fact that you can link in photos to posts, and they
prefer not to deal with stuffed mailboxes. They also seem to like
silly little things like having an avatar... :-)

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.
