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 myself.

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.

I did a little experiment of sorts this weekend. I shared a song that me and Chris made up over on VOAT on Saturday to see what happens, and according to soundcloud the songs I shared on poal on Friday got 10 and 8 listens where the one song I shared on voat got 62 listens. I don't know if those were all from voat, but that song got at least 5 times more plays than any of the four songs I shared on poal on friday. It had more than all four combined. I don't know if any of that means anything at all. I just wish the fngt would attract that much plays, and I think it might on voat.

I think raised some good points. My main concern with Voat is their user interface. They don't have as many bells and whistles yet (formatting, embedding, etc). Maybe some of it is because it's slightly different and I haven't spent a lot of time there. It just seems to be a little cumbersome posting like we do.

I'm all for whatever gets more participation over a sustained time. I'll do whatever little I do to support what y'all want.

I don't think there's any doubt that the thread would get more attention on Voat.

I would like the thread to get more attention. I don't know about you, but I sure would!

I'm more worried about longevity and stability. Those are my primary concerns.

I've previously mentioned doing a 2nd thread on like Sunday nights.

You also gotta think about the novelty. You get attention because the content is novel. Once it's consistent, how much more activity are we really going to have? And, at the end of the day, is it worth the hassle if that site's only going to fold in 6 months when they can't afford the hosting bills any longer?

Which is to say, I dunno... I really dunno...

I'm not dreadfully concerned with getting more attention. Then again, I have an audience pretty much any time I really want one. If I want attention, I can get it.

If more attention is the goal, then wouldn't it actually make more sense to move to Reddit? Imagine all the attention we'd get there!
