The revival of this thread was inspired by this other thread.

Wow, Thread #1, I barely recognized you! But then we've all gained a few posts since 96, haven't we. Well, see you in a few more years. Take care of yourself.

Alas, Skarpi, they were victims of the Great Tea Trolley Disaster of '02... (apologies to Frank "Bristow" Dickens.)

Best to all,

Daft question for those of us who are here already, but
What is Mudcat?
I was giving someone a link and couldn't find a summary either here or on the Homepage.
On the table of content in this thread there is Introduction, but nothing happens when I click it.

There's one on Wikipedia.

Hi, Mo - the Introduction is the introduction to the FAQ. The Wikipedia article is a pretty good description.

Here's the very first thread from Mudcat (don't ask why it's thread #4):

https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=004

As you can see, it has no set purpose and no set rules, just a discussion forum built around a folk song database. There are those who specify what mudcat is and what it isn't, but I think most of us appreciate its lack of structure and purpose. It has been growing organically for 27-1/2 years.

In the past I have much appreciated the observation
that serious research has its place in this forum,
and if the question what is mudcat were put to me,
I would include the research observation in my answer.

Threads #1-3 probably were deleted spam ;-)

No, threads 1 and 2 are still there, but 3 doesn't load. They're kind of out of sequence time-wise.
