A few months ago, the week between Christmas and New Years, I was feverishly researching discussion boards. 

Our old discussion board, was on life support - hopelessly out of date and non-functional due to factors beyond my control.  So, it was way past time for a new board.

After a bit of researching of other guitar discussion boards I couldn't find any that seemed bright, colorful, friendly and helpful.

After a lot of research, a good investment of resources and some technical help this board was born.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the board when it was first setup.

All it said was one topic "Test Forum" with one post "This is a test forum."  Everything else you currently see here - pictures, menus, tabs, videos, chat was painstakingly purchased and added to create a great place for us all.

After a week or two of work it was ready to open the doors to our beta -testers - about 15 of our guitar family that came in and ruthlessly tested out every imaginable feature.  And for a glorious week or so it was just the 15 of us in here.  We'd come home after work and check in on the board, testing this or that, and chatting in the chat.  I'm so thankful for that group.

Then, after another week or so, we opened up the doors and today we added our 1000th member.

I'm quite thrilled with our new little home.  It's what I wanted - bright, colorful, friendly and helpful.  I can go on here most any time, day or night, and start chatting with someone learning guitar.

I've got lots of plans for more things but I'm so thrilled at how this is turning out and so honored to be among you all.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for for all your work on this forum @Steve Krenz it is so much better than the old forum.  The transition was very fast and easy.

Great job as always.

In 2006 I was at a blockage in life . Bought a guitar package known as Learn and Master Guitar with a bright smiling face telling me I can actually learn to play my old guitar.

Many years later I'm still around how many versions of forums(?).

I still may be on that LMG course (nowhere near finished) but I've been able to play weekly in the choir I did audio mix for years. I wouldn't have gotten that far if it wasn't for a certain instructor of guitar.

This new home is quite the place, hope for the future, and am glad to be apart of it.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication Steve. I don't know what I'd do without this forum and our members here helping me learn guitar. I look forward to reading new posts everyday. This really is a great place. :)

Thank you for all of your hard work Steve. The new forum is a great place and only getting better.

I did notice that you tried extra hard to make Canadians welcome. Your  Members Map is in French.....:D

Steve I just want to say thank you for all you've done.  Some people have vision and make things happen for the benefit of the rest of us.  You are that kind of person.  Someday at some function I hope to meet you in person, shake your hand and say thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS STEVE and fellow members on reaching the 1000 member milestone! An amazing achievement  in only 2 months! 

As one of the "beta testers" I was very happy to contribute whatever I could. Why? Because I have received so much from this happy association, that I could hardly do otherwise! 

Many Thanks to you Steve, and my fellow Guitar Gathering members for providing an enriching environment and a place of positive encouragement in the learning process.

Although we may have not met in person yet ( with the notable exception of DougH who has become a good friend &  lives near me; we met through the original LMG Forum, ) I feel as if I know you, and count many of you as friends and fellow students of this great instrument, guitar.

Thank you Steve and also to all of the members who gave of their time to make this site as great as it is. This is a wonderful site for the education of guitar players. Personally, I started this journey late in life. I have thoroughly enjoyed the lessons, information on various gear, but most of all I feel like part of an online family. We are linked by the common goal of becoming better guitar players and everyone is trying to help each other to reach that goal. For me that is tops.

Many thanks @Steve Krenz. You have no idea how much your lesson helped me. I practically stumbled on you and I can't thank you enough.  Much love from Ghana ...since 2012...
