Since Max had to move the operation to his house, service has been more unreliable, understandably. However, there have been improvements in the usabilty of the site.
Losing Rick has been a shock I don't think we've recovered from yet. However, we've gained jOhn from Hull, a national treasure.
I never understand the muso's technical tips threads but I read them with fascination and admiration!
I miss the inventive humour that seems to have degenerated into name calling. I no longer read religion or politics threads that seem to go rounnd in circles ("'Tis" "'Tisn't" "'Tis").
I enjoy the travels and meetings of other 'catters vicariously, saving on fares.
I post less, so that's one improvement.
Still the best place for serious friendly advice and help about things folkie and bluesy.
Still possible to ignore the trolls and flamers.
