Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or TheBuddha.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

They're still trying to figure out how, and if, they want to build a site. That alone takes all the qualities you mentioned and then a subset has to have them for sharing their music.

These sites attract a certain segment of people and then they need to separate the daily commentary from the musical part of their lives to an extent. It's a delicate balance, if you go for a bigger more "mainstream" site you get more interest but that starts to attract commercial interests. You lose the community connections and the honesty of the music.

I thought about starting an FNGT on Reddit. I was too lazy, or so I decided.

I can't see that turning out well. As I said, way too large and manipulated to have a feeling of familiarity or connection. I would think it would quickly attract commercial interests with the intent of promoting business. I much prefer the local bar feeling we have.

I can't imagine how it'd really turn out badly. What'd possibly be bad about it? Commercial music isn't bad. Hell, we let people promote their bands/music in the threads. The worst possible outcome would be possible vote manipulation - unless I'm missing something.

Also, I figured out how to take RSS feeds and turn them into automatically posted WP posts on a schedule.

Sadly, I can't think of any possible RSS feeds that would work for MFU. If you can think of any, you should let me know. Rolling Stone probably has one. I'm not sure you want RS automatically feeding hundreds of posts into MFU every day.
