Thanks, happy to hear you like this site! Yes, it has been a lot of work, so I'm glad to hear this work is appreciated.
Well, developing - that would be me, with the assistance from VitalMyles in configuring stuff behind the scenes.
Conceiving the idea - that would be me and Tremoloman. We both thought the world needed a nice guitar and bass forum, one that isn't policed too hard like some other boards out there. Our goal from the start has been to make a friendly place where you can talk about anything you want, and where everyone's opinion counts.
This site is fairly new, I made it go live at the end of September 2005. It seems my own dolphinstreet site has been successful in recruiting new members.
The site is sponsored by Vital Effect - the company I work for.
Please spread the word about our friendly guitar/bass site to everyone you know!
