No No. Don't do this. We need this to fill a void!

Fortunately, it doesn't cost me much until the user base becomes substantial. I can run it on the same server as TB.

Please don't accept this as disingenuous, but since the original site is sparsely used, why divide it up? There's scant participation on the original site as it is.

1. It's supposed to be less niche than this site.
2. I'm looking more at the long-term success of the site. Sometimes it takes a few years to build a user base. It will probably need marketing as well.
3. If it fails then I pack up and move on.

Yeah, I searched for a site like this and I'm not sure anything exists. We have Reverb, but that is more of a marketplace.

It's intended to be a collective, or "crowd-sourced" review site. So, yes, anybody can post reviews. But, like here, you can upvote a post or thread, given it more "credibility."

Hello everybody! I am pleased to announce another site I have operational. It is a musical instrument review board:

RateMyAxe.com

As it is still very fledgling, you may find some bugs and strange styling issues here or there. I will certainly welcome feedback as I progress with the site. The styling is fairly similar to the blue theme we have here. Please let me know if you have questions and I look forward to your participation!

I apologize again for any downtime or data loss you might have experienced. We should be through the woods now!

Let's try to keep things as non-offensive as possible. Thanks.

This conversation has really given me the itch to start collecting trumpets again!

Hey, don't forget to mention TB to your NAMM friends! I'm also working on a new instrument review site for all musicians

I think that a good teacher teaches you how to learn, or in other words, they teach you how to teach yourself.

Nonetheless, for the purposes of this discussion, I am not a self-taught trumpeter. I have had several quality teachers.
