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

[Frodebro]

I actually have done only a small fraction of the recruiting.
There was little I could do while I had no access to the MF site.

Kudos should really go to Grant, and all of the existing TTR members who created this site and the comradery that has made this forum a musician's community that people WANT to be a part of.

When I first joined both forums, they were quite similar. It's been a few years of gradual changes at the MF that recently culminated in an abrupt change in the environment that was easy to walk away from.

It's that "small town culture" that so many forums lose once membership hits a certain point, though sites like this one and the MF seem to be largely immune to that degradation due to attracting a largely older demographic that grew up in a world where manners and respect still existed.
