Just ran across this message. Yes, BrassReview.com is in the process of being rebuilt. The software I was using on the site no longer works with the current versions on PHP & mySQL and was attacked from hackers corrupting the server, database, and files. I was able to save the database and reviews.

I'm in the process of re-building the site into a new platform, but it does take quite a while to recover the many old reviews. I have started the process manually (last 45 days), but does take a while to get it re-built in my spare time. Attached is the screenshot of the new site, that we are currently populating... Few hundred done, still have about 5000 to go... #sigh

Coming later this year... Send me a message here on this forum, and I'll try and respond when I get notifications.

Thanks for the reply back! I also like reading TrumpetBoards.com and the various topics in your forums. Congrats on breaking even, will send you a note separately on some ideas I have to help build each others forums.

Thanks!

I have also reached out to MJ over the past few months, and no response. I do hope he is OK and doing well.

After no response over earlier this year, decided to create http://www.trumpetforum.com. I helped create the original TM site, and was one of the admins to help get the site built, configured and added various new features/custom programming for the site back in the day.

Was a great alternative to TH at the time, and was fun! Best wishes to MJ -

After much consideration a group of fellow trumpet players have decided to restart TrumpetForum.com to fill the missing GAP of discussion forums exclusively focused on the instruments and mouthpieces we play. Our team have been involved in building great trumpet related reference sites such as BachLoyalist and were involved in the design & launch of TrumpetMaster.com as one of the original admins of that site.

Our goals are the following:

• Build an environment where the focus is on the tools we use - trumpets, mouthpieces, accessories
• Create a place where users can share their favorite trumpet related resources with reviews
• Utilize the latest technologies to create an experience that is simple to create, share and discuss everything trumpet on whatever device you're using.
• Activate our social media channels to allow our users to use what they prefer - whether the forums, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram

How can I get involved?

• Join our forums today and start sharing your experiences about your trumpets, mouthpieces, etc. that you use.
• Contact Us if you're interested in becoming a moderator for a specific forum. We're looking for passionate trumpet players that are willing to help build a new community of trumpet players.
• Suggest new features and approaches on how we can engage more trumpet equipment nerds to get involved.

Thanks for your consideration in joining what we hope will be one of the fastest growing trumpet communities on the internet - whether the forums or the social media channels. If you're interested in being a moderator please contact us via the forum.

IMPORTANT
Our forum ONLY is focused on instruments and is NOT meant to replace discussion forums similar to TrumpetBoards which has a broad range of topics that are actively discussed.

Thanks for your consideration -
