Anyone remember Jim?

...I talk to slaveunit every once in a blue moon.

I wonder why so many regulars at the old site never really showed up here. Quite a lot initially registered and a small number pop in from time to time, but it's few and far between...

I believe that we are the last of the Mohicans - we, the old regulars that are still 'regulars" -.

There are 377 members, and I believe that only about 30% post regularly.

Still, this is my place.

I wish I could think of this one member... was kind of surly. I still can remember that av. When I joined his av was himself with short hair. Toward the end itd grown out, but both images were him screaming into a mic in his bands.

Yeah I remember him. He was a pompous dick. Smartest guy in every room he entered. Arrowhead I believe his handle was.

I remember Arrowhead. I think he opened a music store but not sure it lasted long. I think his name was Pete.

I remember a guy named BassBubble, or something like that. He was a great guy.

I often think of all the folks I've met and interacted with on AGF over the years. I lurk here every now and then, but haven't had much to say.

Ya gotta wonder what the momo guys thought once the dust had settled.

Does that site still exist?

Technically, yes. However, it's almost impossible to navigate, and the last post was 5/3/2021. Also, you have to go directly though the MOMO site, the redirect from the old site no longer works...

I never tried to use it. To me, it is like TikTok some intrusive data hacking site that I do not need.

[tobijohn]

I wonder if MOMO would be interested in selling the old AGF database, if so, how much and how difficult it would be to import it into AGF.net...

I would chip in for that. There was so much info on the old site.

They might as well try to recover whatever they paid for AGF. The MOMO site is dead. As far as I can tell, the most recent post anywhere on the site was 8/12/23....

Where is the RMS Carpathia..?

Side story: My late MIL's father sailed the Altantic in October1907, on the typical Atlantic crossing ship of the day . Ship had a two-week breakdown in the middle of the journey in August that year, and was scraped the year after. Shessh.

I think 1907 was also the year U.S. Congress wrote laws regarding conditions on board, food, sanitation, crowdedness, as things were so bad.

it is unfortunate that most immigrants did not write memoirs - bad experiences to be forgotten, I guess.

You hit the nail on the head. We all know people like that in real life. After the first encounter I'm done.

I dont think the MOMO guys know or care about what they did to that old site community. It's just data.

[andrewsrea]

I was thinking there's definitely another Jim out here in Missouri. But he's nothing like perfect stranger. I can't remember his handle here but I text him occasionally.

'Pratteman'?

That's John. Jim/James. Last name starts with Sch. Might be Schaffner.

Jim Schaffner's handle was JAMES SCHAFFNER

I try to make it here once a day, though I don't always succeed. I try my damndest to contribute though, and I only post NGDs here, for some reason. I must like the place, or something.

jegg?

He made me a great ring years ago. Did a few good deals with him. Still have my vintage Champ that I got from him.

The thing I remember most about Arrowhead ( other than being a douche ) was the time he tried to put together an AGF in-person get together/jam session one of his (possibly fictitious) friend's studios. I think it was right around the time he was attempting to start up his own little guitar accessory shop. There was a big thread leading up to it, with much hand wringing by him about how much work he was putting into it. And then at the last minute he pulled the plug for whatever reason.

I've got one of the jjegg rings made from a 1958 (my birth year) silver quarter. I wear in for a wedding ring on occasion.

I remember that get together being discussed. I also forwarded some inexpensive chinese music/luthier type sellers for him to possibly use in his business adventure.

Tonebender-Joe made me a ring from a '66 silver dollar(?). I still wear it from time to time. I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it though. Quite a few people notice it.

momo was mentioned earlier, above.

Well, I am in the process of cleaning up my yahoo mail account - don't laugh, used a long time!
I had archived a few AGF threads, apparently. Guess what happens when you click on... thread shows up, under the momo banner, like so:

https://www.agileguitarforum.com/posts/ ... ow-e.82275

I did not access the whole thread as I killed my momo login fast (I think).

[Buddha Pickups]

TWANG/Patrick posts regularly on one of the firefly Facebook groups.

Nrussell23/Nick had some health issues and disappeared along with Rick from PA. Nick disappeared from Facebook too, AFAIK.

I also have a ring from jjegg.

Snarph was an interesting guy.
BigPigDave got into making his own guitars and disappeared along with synthaxe

I wish I could remember some of the other folks I've traded with. I have a few items I got from former members that I can't recall. My 79 the Paul, my schecter c1 elite, my 1960 infinium, and a Godin exit22 that I actually recently sold cause it was a bit too beat up for my taste.

[snarph]

They were some amazing people in and out of here

[idiotsdelight]

Did I mention zacsdad?
