The "AGF" Forum is having a HC type melt-down...

[bsman]

Didn't realize they had their own forum. Hmmm...

On another note, did anybody notice that HC is actually a usable forum once again?

Apparently not (looking at the timestamps on their threads):

The HC story is a sad one, and has a great lesson for any business. They had a thriving community, but decided to completely revamp their product. It was a massive fail and they lost the majority of their customers. HC eventually got their product fixed, but it was too late. Their customers had moved on to other solutions and did not return. It's a tale as old as boy meets girl.

Well, yeah... I didn't say anybody was usING it but it's usABLE. LOL It's not the software version of a lobotomized sloth anymore.

Taken a couple of steps back, big business buys small business and runs it into the ground.

There's some activity there but the jam the dead. I review it all the time and post a what I'm listening to or something in the Squier Army thread in electric guitars.

I guess that was the precursor to my summary, wasn't it? I forget. It's been so long ago.

A long while back it was changed to the "A Guitar Forum" and operated under that name. It still had some Agile and SX sub forums but for the most part there was a lot of general guitar modification and maintenance talk on many brands.

Yes. Jeremy Green asked if I wanted to participate in the lesson loft a few weeks ago so I’ve been posting every so often in there. Strangely, I’m still a moderator over there.

Has there ever been any big-name bands/artists that use Balsa & Spit guitars?

I can only think of 1 band that I listen to. Bass player uses an SX 5-string, and the guitarist, when he uses a Strat, it's an SX also. He generally plays Epiphone Les Pauls though.

Laura Lee from Khruangbin plays an SX bass, modded with Dimarzio pickups.

LOL Yeah, I noticed that. Are any of the mods active participants anymore?

I haven't paid much attention other than looking at the moderator notifications but it seems like Daddymack and Red Ant are active. I did run across this: https://www.harmonycentral.com/forums/topic/1954260-some-exciting-changes-at-harmony-central/
