I understand and do admire your ideas and compassion, and honestly I had thought about doing something along these lines before, but, never attempted due to the fear of the board getting overcomplicated with little drive to it, plus if we had a solid month at the very least of extreme high quality posts, we'd be able to get our own board and therefore many threads with many purposes. however if you and others do want to do this, I am completely fine with it since it's understandable posting the same old same old posts is boring, repetitive and not too varied. I for one would be very happy to join in with the discussion too!

all this being said, I think we are close to applying to become official and therefore we may need a few little donations (completely voluntary, I'll of course be placing about half of my tc at least towards this cause) and if we are accepted as an official org some things will change..

as a warning if we become official:
cobra urged that we will start to get more specialised and less broad member wise with only people we believe deserve a place here to be a member; yes we understand that anyone can be a music lover, but, the case is do you really want to?
this will also mean every member apart from admins and I will have to fill out an application again to get back in, and also ones who I deem worthy (probably at least two) members will get the choice to become administrators too if they would like.

after that 'speech', I'll just add keep up the good work guys, we are nearly there.

my first question to anyone, I'm pretty sure there are some guitar players here (right?) and so I'd like to know if you use any pedals often and which are you favourite, since I adore the distortion in some of them.
