Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). 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.

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

It is with the deepest regret I can no longer do the archives. It has been a privilege to be a part of this great effort to keep homemade music alive. I wish I could continue but it wouldn't be fair to you, crazy, and the few active submitters to let them lapse. I'm glad the archives have been of use. I'll still try to be part of Friday nights when I can as you have been such a joy to listen to.

In actuality, once someone becomes familiar with how to do them, it should only take 20 mins or so to do each one. As I don't type very well, I use cut and paste from earlier weeks and that helps me quite a bit. But anyone can figure out what works best for them.

With all that said, I'm not dead yet (youtube.com).

Sad to hear you've got cancer. You're really a great archivist and knowledgable of the good kinda music.

Thank you very much. I've had a good life and we all have to go sometime.

Do you have any tips besides those for the next person to take the torch?

I suppose you could check Crazy's work the first couple of times, assuming you have the ability to do so.

That said, I can't thank you enough for the years of work you've given to us. Your archives are legendary.

I'd be happy to share what I can when I can. Anyone can feel free to PM me and I'll do what I can. It really isn't all that difficult once you get the hang of it.

You increment/archive more than just the tracks.

If you get the chance, maybe you can type up the rest of what you do? Or just append it here and we can refer to it as a canonical source.

Again, thanks. Some weeks, you've put in even more time than we musicians have.

Good to hear from you!

Don't worry, the archives will get done. I use them, I know theBuddha does as well. So, together we will make sure of it!

Thanks for all the help and hard work you have put in to them!

It's been a privilege. It's you, the submitters, that are the whole reason for the thread and I'm glad I could help in that effort. Man, 4 years of every Friday night is truly an accomplishment and deserves so much credit keeping homemade music alive. I wish you all continued success and I'll still be around on Friday's whenever I'm able. Heaven don't want me and Hell's afraid I'll take over.

We still want you here! So stick around for a while more if you can!
