I've been banned from the Marshall Forum...

Yeah. and I still worry about @WavMixer after that move. :rolf:

Actually what went down was, we had a couple admins retire from being admins leaving Grant to fend for himself. We'd also recently had a member that was a mod pass away. I've been here almost from the beginning.... in fact it was @WavMixer that invited me to TTR. We knew each other from etsg. So myself and @Mitch Pearrow SJMP were both invited to be mods. And now you know the rest of the story.

And I am grateful for our mods here which are unquestionably the best mods on the internet! Because they do such a great job, they don't really have much work to do because the slightest bit of misbehavior is nipped in the bud leaving only fine people in our membership! One big happy family of refugees from previous forums that have been bought out or just had a staff of power trippers. This will be our 10th year of existence and I'm happy to say there has been only a handful of banished members. Mostly scammer spammers

And if I could add after reading other forums being bought out. Don't know if there's any others out there, but for the new folks here. TTR is member funded. Those that can, donate a few bucks a year to help Grant keep this place up and running. And our membership is small. Usually running around 600 members.

There have only been 2 advertisers on TTR and both are members. One advertiser we lost during covid and the other advertiser is a beloved well hung leather artist that is unable to sell his artistry here in the US due to new terrifs being charged to our Canadian brother.

Speaking of donations it will soon be time to start up collections again. The bills start rolling in October thru December so I try to take collections early so as not to tap into our members holiday funds. As I have said many times before, this is not MY forum. It is OUR forum, all of us the membership here, for without all of us, there would be no TTR. Some of us can afford to donate money. Some of us can afford to donate time and posts. All members are equally appreciated and valued. No cork sniffers here. Whether you are a professional musician with a catrillion dollar gear collection or a poor working stiff that barely knows where the E string is, you are judged only by the kind of person you are. We do not put up with jerks. We have had some professional studio musicians in our fold and unfortunately you can now find some of them in the Fallin Stars area, God rest their souls.

My guess is antidepressants. He's chemically tripping. Cross used to be pretty straightforward and to the point. Trying to give things a positive push in the 'right' direction, but he's been all flowers and buttercups recently. This is the ugly side, it seems.

It seems (and I didn't know this until they rammed a counter in my face sidebar) that I'm the #1 contributor over there. I'll miss some of the old techs.

I've been on the MF for quite a while, around 12 years or so, and have had tons of interactions with Cross through the years. Credit where due, he and DOD were the ones basically running the place until Alex stepped out. And I do agree that the Cross we've been seeing in recent times isn't the same guy we've always known. I don't know what he has going on IRL, but I hope he gets through whatever has been weighing him down. He's always been a chill dude before.
 
Agree, for the record I really appreciate them both... well, the old Cross more than the new one. Very level headed guys, good at what they do.
