Well....... As I write this we've been up and running for about and hour and a half and I'm the only member.
First a few things need to be explained.
1./ I felt obliged to put some rules up, cos as Patrick often points out, forums have a habit of attracting eejits, this way I'll feel justified as and when I need to start banging heads together, which leads me neatly onto point 2
2./ I am currently the only moderator by default (I'm the only one on here) I don't wanna be a forum nazi tho, and am quite happy for you all to appoint other mods, or kick me out and replace me completely. I'm doing this for all of us, not to massage my own ego. (I have other websites for that ;D)
3./ I'm not sure if / how we should advertise this, i.e. mention if on bajohangout etc, it might attract idiots which leads us back to point 1 and the banging together of heads, and me feeling like the school bully.
4./ This section of the forum is designed basically for you 'orrible lot to tell me (and any other mods that might be appointed in the future) what you want from this thing. I'd like to add sections for other instruments, but I wanna walk before I run so to speak.
5./ I'm still trying to figure out how to get this bleeding thing to display the date the correct way around. Which is a good way to lead onto the fact that I've never run a website in my life before, so I'm gonna be feeling my way around a bit for a while, so please bear with any mistakes I inevitably make.
Well, that's about all for now, let me know what you think
Danny
P.S. Do you all think I should make this post sticky?
