still here. usually check in everyday. don't post much either, but love to see what is going on. thanks to all.
Is Anyone Still Using This Forum?
I'll keep coming here every day. I like the information and searching old posts. Facebook groups are full of anonymous cards that I don't respect the opinion of.
I check a few times a week to see what’s going on and I have posted a question.
I also check what’s for sale since I have a set I have been wanting to post for a few months now but I’m not sure how the market is.
1961 Ludwig Cocktail Lounge drum 24 x 16 in blue sparkle
1966 Ludwig Hollywoods in Sky Blue Pearl 12/13/16/22
1971 Ludwig Super Classics in Blue Sparkle 13/16/22
1976 Ludwig Vistalites in Blue 13/14/16/22
70s/80s Ludwig orphans in Black Cortex "Bonham" style 14/16/18/20/26 (B/O Badges)
Many snares
I check here once a week, maybe twice, Howie, but I'm pretty much done with this place. It's a morgue. The forum owner doesn't care anymore and won't do anything to make it better. I put in feelers to buy the site and the domain and didn't even get the courtesy of a response.
I used to check in multiple times a day. Now it is multiple days or even a week or two between check ins. There isn't much action anymore and it's a bit like chanel surfing and running across a soap opera you haven't seen in years and seeing it's the same storyline with a handful of people bickering over the same things. I used to learn so much from this site, not so much anymore.
I read the site however rarely post on it. It appears to have shrunk over the past few years. I feel I have a lot to contribute as a result of generous knowledge shared here however many posts are duplicated from a more active enthusiast site so I typically just write there.
Yes, I've just advised Johnny Ringo to trade a Sonor kit for some Ludwig Standards.
Present. I think with facebook now having so many drum sites now, it's taken alot of the folks that would of come here for advice, This is still a great drum forum.
I like to check in every few days to see whats new. Yes there are a lot of Face book drum groups but I just dont like the format on Face book and how its laid out. I feel that this forum has some real intelligent people that are graciously giving their best advice to just about anyone who asks for it. I dont see that on Face book, just short little one line or one word responses. I am very happy to be a part of this community even though I do not post as often as i used to. One reason for that is time, I need to spend my time wisely and that means playing drums, not talking about them. I have met a lot of cool people here over the years and learned so much form them. I value this forum and will continue to monitor it years to come. I will agree with the picture download issues and have to admit that I have posted my latest projects elsewhere because of it. But in a nut shell, this is a great place to meet nice folks and learn about vintage drums!
Thank you!
