Its for those of us what was here at the beginning.  I think it went to the first 100.   The big question is how many are left???

Of the first 100, 77 have been here within the last month.  Around half have been here today.

Not bad for 5 years on ...

Though some of us have been surreptitiously replaced with surprisingly accurate AI models.

I just realised I have them - must get Duraglit out, and give them a polish. @TTony, who I met on a Mark Bailey "Build Your Own Guitar Course" 10 years (!!!) ago, kindly invited me to join the Fretboard.

Funny you should mention my wood shaping skills @TTony . I'm going back to Culroy at the weekend, though this time it's to pick up a guitar that Mark's made for me.

Sounds like you”ve been spoiling yourself @ArchtopDave ;

I'm still here - and if I'm an AI model, they've given me a memory module that makes me think I remember every day of the last five years

I was away climbing Kilimanjaro when the forum was started, so I missed out on the badge!  Do have my 5 year anniversary badge though.

Got back after 3 weeks in Africa and went to the old MR forum, and it wasn't there anymore.  Somehow found this place on Google.

Thought I got away with that. Darn it.

That bit was a masterstroke. You don't remember, of course, but last week we changed your memory module so that it had you thinking you were a donkey called Marcus, riding a tiny scooter to the moon on a mission of mercy to delivery lollipop sticks to the Clangers.

Did anyone else read that in Alexander Armstrong's voice?

I think Alexander Armstrong did.

Is he on the fretboard? Bet he doesn't like metal shred guitars as they wouldn't be pointless...
