  1. Damn, I shouldn't be writing anything, and I hope no one thinks it's to perpetuate this arguing.  I had actually had enough of this forum. I have to admit there are some here who always make me mad off and on. I got so pissed about this thread and what went on between me and Kevin, I went and deleted a bunch of my posts in other threads. I had been tempted to do the deleting before this thread here ever existed, for other reasons, which have to do with things I don't like about the ones who run this place.

    Kevan helped me "walk through the door" of being totally fed up.

    I guess my comment about his guitars on the floor made him get defensive.  And I'm pretty damn defensive.  I try to think I'm pretty reasonable, but maybe it's just not so as much as it seems to me.

    Maybe I should re-post messages I deleted, but I feel pretty worn-out to do that.

    Yes you should.

    There are several threads that have been destroyed by your editing/removal of your posts. They will have to be deleted because they now make no sense at all.

    No one is forcing you to be a member here. You're here because you want to be. If you have issues with the Admin or Moderators here, you should contact them via PM or email, not by posting.

    After Kevan saw what you were doing with all the deletions, he not only PM'd you, but he also emailed you (I have copies of both). As far as I know, you haven't replied or contacted him regarding that.

    There were no rule violations on either part, and I only see you two testing and trying to find similar results.

    I made a hanger and got the same results. I didn't look at Kevs tutorial hardly at all, so I'm not sure how similar mine is. I made mine to be "self leveling"  on a center screw. But I didn't want to screw it to the wall, I screwed it to a block of wood that had a threaded insert in it, clamped to the edge of a work bench.

    Maybe I could post pics, although that's not good for much.

    Maybe each neck will do something a little different.

    I was looking at mine on the hanger and couldn't help but think that kind of storage might help a neck develop a twist.

    It's just what I thought, I can't prove it, just like no one can prove the opposite.

    Wood can go crazy even if you baby it.

    If you are still wondering about guitar hangars and if they're detrimental to storing guitars, check out: www.gruhn.com. These are hardcore vintage guys who own and work on some of the most prized guitars in the world. They have no problem recommending a hangar on their site.

    Any further posts not relating to guitar hangars will be deleted immediately.

  6. RGGR- In case you missed it, the rules about pics are:

    - ALL pics must be 600x or less in size

    - 1 pic per post, except in the Tutorial section. After that, links to pics should be posted.

    - Project content only (no pornography or inappropriate material).

    Please follow these rules or you will be warned and/or suspended.

  7. A quick note on pics. There is a default limit of 10 pics per post. The limitations exclude the tutorial section and the inprogress section. Pics can be no larger than 600 pixels wide. Use discretion on what is pertenent to your thread. The only other places pics are neccessary is places where one pic per post will suffice. Go ahead and go hog wild in the in progress section, but only with pics pertaining to the thread.

    Yeah, thanks for repeating that Litch, but your not answering the question. WHY??

    Please give us an explanation why this rule was added, because it surely aint to help people on dialup.... the broadband poll has proven that.

    Take a look at the two Carriburst topics. Those are great examples of why the rule has changed.

    2. I don't like the way Kevan handled the Camcool situation.

    Is this the guy (camcool) that copped a two week suspesion for being enterprising, and getting people excited about using acrylic for inlay materials, while at the same time trying to make a few bucks to help his own projects along???

    If so, id like an explanation why its not ok for members to do that, but staff can. Ive caught at least one "staffer" out on simple cut and paste selling, with a few hundred percent markups added on for good measure.

    Do as we say, not as we do perhaps??

    Camcool was in trouble way before he offered a product he didn't have at the time of his postings. Not to worry though- Camcool's suspension will be over soon and when he comes back, you can order thru him.

    Ironic that Kevan also spends the majority of his time here ramping his own product, and was a virtual ghost until he was given full admin capabilities.

    Just because you didn't see Kevan post doesn't mean he wasn't here as a Moderator. Now he has more time, and has been more visible......well, until lately.

    I concur.  I thought that selling was limited to classifieds.

    I haven't seen any selling on Kevan's part outside of the Classifieds. I have, however, seen him keep the entire forum updated as to the progress of the Tremol-No. I've also seen LGM keep us updated as to his new line of guitars.

    I think this thread has run it's course. If someone feels otherwise, let me know and I'll re-open it.

    Enjoy the forum everyone.
