Today, we begin a new chapter of the Friday Night Guitar Thread. It may seem drastic, but it's just another bump in the road. The FNGT will live on, as it is greater than any one of us and any one website. Come share some music that you made. Come talk musicianship and the things that surround it. Share the tracks you finished, those you're working on, and maybe some from your archives.

Remember, many of you will be new to Poal. As yet, you're still guests - until you truly participate. Let us act like it. Let us act in a way that makes Poal glad to have us and that makes their regulars feel welcome in our threads.

Finally...

Instead of lamenting the past, let's look forward to our future. We, unlike many, had the infrastructure to get the messages out and had a place prepared for this eventuality. Well, that time has come and we have a new home. Let's ride 'er 'til the wheels fall off.

One of the best I've had in a long while. I'm liking Poal seems like a good place to be I'm glad you worked this out so we can continue the Friday night jam. I very much enjoy them.

This site got its start just after a previous Voat outage. So, I made the guitar sub here on day one or day two.

The reason we had the contingency plans was because we were pretty confident that Voat would eventually reach the point where it was no longer a realistic option to host the thread there.

That and the infrastructure to let everyone know, especially COF pinging everyone by PM and the forum's announcement feature...

I'm VERY glad it will continue here

I think that the thread is important, important enough to keep it going.

The thread has changed lives. The thread has been snapshots of lives. The thread is a part of lives.

It's more important than one site, one person, one song, or one date. Besides, at least Poal is available more often than Voat. It's not bug-free, but it is up and running.
