Edit:a lot like many of its contributors! (In before)
Not a text based forum, full of boomers/Gen-X.
The forum could do with a refresh, even if just a quick CSS update of colours.
We don't discuss anything new in the gear section, it's still Les Paula/Strats/telecasters. The artists we discuss are the same old names. No Tosin/Polifia, etc.
A good example of a very successful guitar forum taking a real nosedive is the old Fenderforum - that had loads of problems caused by in-fighting, over-zealous banning for the slightest thing, aggressive monetisation with a 'how much you have donated' star system and a fairly small but vocal in-crowd of gun luvin' good 'ol boyz who made it toxic. Don't get me wrong I understand that forums need to moderated and they cost money to run but slowly but surely the advertising sponsors left and the users found another spot. This was happening some time before FB gained traction. It was excruciating to see such a decline.

I've never seen Mark Zuckerberg and Drew in the same room before ... makes me wonder...

Personally find the massive fixation with custom shop/relic guitars on here boring, and it can get quite dull to read about for the 100th time. I really like the making/modding, studio/recording, and making music sides of the forum though.
Drew makes me laugh, so that's always a bonus.
Generally good and thankfully "Pull The Trigger" is a phrase you don't read very often on here either.

I would also agree it's rather blokeish and sometimes misogynist.
It's often the sign of a good referee that both sides complain about him.
FTFY

Went back to the safety of lurking after that.
