A String Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well...It's been a good ride. 16 years I have been on this forum. You guys were here for the birth of my Daughter (She is now 15!). We've gained new friends and lost some old ones. We've learned from each other and taught each other. But, I just don't seem to get along with the new owner. As such, I will be stepping down. I will leave all of the lessons and information, pinned here, so you guys can continue to use them. Good luck, friends. So long and thanks for all the fish.

surfergirl Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I hope you will reconsider, but if you can't I wish you the best. Thank you for your service. Quote Jennifer S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Psmith Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Sorry to see this, A String. I hope this doesn't mean that the Forum is going to become just a conduit for ads, under the new ownership. Quote "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too.

Larryz Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 @ Astring, It's too damned hard to find good Mods these days and you have done an excellent job! I wish you would stay on for 16 more years! It would be nice if we knew more about the issues between you and the new owner and could comment/vote. But, keeping it a private matter has most likely already been a decision that has been made. If there is no way to steer the boat back so we can catch more fish, just remember you have been a great fishing partner! Take care, Larryz Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertbluesman Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well A String best of luck in the future, it won't hurt to hang out with us as a normal poster like the rest of us here. Anyways I hope to see you around here from time to time.

Caevan O’Shite Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Stay in touch, perhaps even pop in here now and then. Be well and good; safe travels, my friend, literally and figuratively.

d halfnote Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I've read yer brief & tactful comment in recent PM & I can only guess what you're actually dealing with. I also think that, after some amount of time, anyone might need a break. HOWEVER I sincerely hope that you will, as Davy Crockett counselled, "1st make sure that yer correct..." In any case, please stay part of the scene here, CB !!!!! Quote d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A String Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'll see what I can do. However, the new owner and I do not get along so...it's all up in the air atm.

A String Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 And thanks to all of you who emailed and messaged on Facebook. I WILL still be active on the Facebook GP Refugee group and will try my best to stop in here, whenever I can. In the mean time, You guys should all check out Mike Molenda's guitar forum: https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/50/1/new-forum-mike-molendas-guardians-of-guitar Damn good guy and super knowledgeable.

skipclone 1 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 All the best A String-I posted on the refugee forum but, to reiterate, all the best and nothing wrong with dropping by as a civilian. It has indeed be quite a journey. The right thing is the right thing, not the easy thing.

A String Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thanks! Yeah, given the current situation, it was indeed the right thing to do. But, as I mentioned, I will still be active on Facebook, either on the GuitarPlayer forum refugee board or on my Facebook group, the Stringnetwork . I will stop in here from time to time, as long as I am able. Quote Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A String Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 I fixed the link for the forum, but to be honest, after Lee passed away, we sort of stopped going there. I left it up for, mainly, archival use. We moved everyone from there over to the Facebook group. 90% of my time will now be spent over there or on the "Guitar Player Forum Refugee" group. You can find the Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thestringnetwork/ Quote Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesape Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 You have always been an awesome mod/admin! Losing you is a great loss for all of us. You and I didn't just become co-mods. We became good friends, and if there is a way back here, we all want you to return. It has been an honour to work with you side by side, and yes, it is a ton of thankless, un-acknowledged work. We will certainly remain in contact. Quote Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d halfnote Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Unfortunately for me this comes at time when my own online time has become quite curtailed so checking some of the contact options may take a while for me to explore . Except for those who may just becoming aware of this shift (kinda like that big chunk of ice breaking off Antarctica, eh ?) I think we're all in agreement that this, well, sux & I don't want to just reiterate what's been said... BUT &, in the ever-immortal words of the King of Rock & Roll "Gone like a cool, cool breeze" !
