                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I was once much more active.  For me, other activities have slowed down my participation.  Between scuba diving (which I'm the treasurer for a local club), house remodeling, motorcycle riding, and of course guitar playing, my time is very limited now.  Add to that spending time with the kids, wife, normal stuff like lawn work, errands, etc., well there just isn't enough time in the day.   :wink: <br><br>I still play guitar regularly.  I'm still trying to write songs and still jam with a buddy once a week.  So I'm still an active player, just not an active poster.   :D  Matter of fact, I've been thinking about trying to find a bass and/or drummer to jam with too.<br><br>I check here at least once a week, but usually only hit the "Hear Here" and "Online Collaborations" forums.  I do look around more thoroughly when I get the chance though (like today).<br><br>Jason]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ryan, along with Nick, was the original co-founder of the Sunday Songwriters Group (SSG) and took part in many of the very early assignments. He also wrote a couple of articles long, long ago. Before the SSG's first year was half over, he left to concentrate on making music a career and, aside from emails that come very sporadically (haven't got one in close to four years now), he's not been heard from at all. <br><br>So, Ryan, if you're reading, hope things have been going well. <br><br>Peace]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well next to my avatar it says I joined on April 28th 2004 - but back then, due to some issues with the server, there were a few of us lost in Cyberspace! I actually joined about Sept 2003 - but when that old server was upgraded, for some reason several members (I can think of myself, Scratchmonkey, Marvellous Optimist and Tucker offhand...) lost all our posts and had to re-register. So I'd been a member about 6-7 months before it actually shows on the memberlist!<br><br> :D  :D  :D <br><br>Vic<br>So you should have another 1000 or so posts added to your count?   :lol:

minus games = net loss or gain?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I used to visit Guitar Noise on occasion as a guest about a year before I became a member. I think I signed up twice. It was awhile before I became a moderator, which doesn't mean a lot, I rarely "moderate" anyone. I'll see where someone accidently double posts and asks for a post to be deleted and do that.  :roll: <br><br>Being a member here at Guitar Noise is not unlike playing guitar itself. Lots of folks start and play for a year or two and quit. Sometimes they take it up again later. And then there are those that keep playing. Being a member here is very similar, some post for a few months and disappear forever, some come back, while some are regulars.]]></content:encoded>
