A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

AGF.com just imploded and all the cool kids left.

Honestly, I just wanted to have the first thread in this sub forum.

Seriously, aren't all the "kids" here. Did anybody actually go to MOMO?

I think a few of us did, before we realized what we were getting into.
The best term I have read describing it was "terrible."
It goes down hill in a hurry after that.
I just hope nobody downloaded/installed their app!

I doubt it. Nobody is going to stay there for long, anyway. It's truly awful.

I think a lot are here, some like OMB are on the fence about a move. Either to here or MOMO.

huh? something happened? i took a nap.

I feel like we're the old men in the Crimson Permanent Assurance building in the opening sketch of Monty Python's Meaning of Life...

That made me unreasonably happy.

WTF? Did anyone know this was coming?

And how do you add photos?

Click on "full Editor & Preview" button below, and then you can just drag an image into the window. I still haven't really been able to get my head around how large they can be. They seem too small in all my posts.

And no, I don't believe anyone other than Major Tom had a clue. We were all blind sided.

Originally they were about 250k but Patrick has reset that to 2 meg. Thank you Patrick!

Excellent. Maybe I'll be able to upload some properly.

Now they've got something running on the back end at the old site changing any reference to this one back to .com. They even changed stuff in my profile.

Just logged onto the original AGF...and saw the carnage. Thanks to Nick in the States, TMC, and TJ, I was notified to the disaster. Happy we have a new home!

One of the things that Whizzed me off was the idea that after all the time and effort the Mods put in they were completely shit on and blindsided like everyone else. Who acts like that? Certainly LESS than Ethical and definitely Low Rent on Tom' part.

It’s unfathomable to me that the mods were kept in the dark and they imploded the forum. Unbelievable.

Well, as a shat upon former mod, I was really, really surprised by the whole thing. Of course, I was probably the least effective mod they ever had, too. So, there's that. Mickey wakes up before he ever goes to sleep and fixes all the problems.

I'd like to think I made them in some small way regret their treatment of not only the mods, but all the members who made that place what it was. I wish I could have done more than just inconvenience them a bit and piss them off enough to nuke me - but I did what I could. And NRussell was just as sneaky and underhanded as I was!

Have to go back there and read everything! I missed when this went down...

I know I wasn’t a member of the old forum very long, but I made it here. Thanks for having me.

Glad to have you. The more the merrier.

Welcome to the partayyyyyyyyy

pretty wild. i believe Milkman is still leading a partisan war of sorts against on the Momoboard site

warmed my heart to see the community take such swift and decisive action to rally to this new stronghold (thanks again Patrick!)

as for the Momofukkers (Dan and MajorTom) - the lesson needed to be learned. Don't f*@k with AGF!

Well, to whomever created this site--and so quickly--thank you very much.

I'm positive that it was my 2,300-ish posts of nothing but amazing wisdom and self-promotion that inspired you all to start this site.
