Lmao. Good stuff. I will definitely stop by on Fridays if I'm free. Thank you
Come August of this year, we'll have done this for five years. We've had people come and go, babies were born, divorces and marriages happened, life changing events have happened, and more... We've had as few as one person (me) in a thread. We've had as many as a hundred different people in the thread, with the thread being watched by hundreds more.
I started this thread way back on Voat and once we went weekly (it wasn't weekly at first) we haven't missed a single Friday. Not once. When Voat would be down, we'd hold it on preview.voat.co. When Voat died, we moved here - where I already had the sub prepared and a jillion karma saved up.
When this site dies, we'll move on to the next one. Well, probably... It's been five fucking years. I can't keep doing this forever.
In fact, the idea to do this was one I had on an entirely different site and we had a weekly Sunday Morning Guitar Thread - it was in the premium section of Fark.
I am amazed by y'alls dedication. I don't know how I missed it on VOAT. First paragraph sounds so comfy. I'm so glad AOU stickied the post. Otherwise I would not know about it.
We were even stickied on the front page on Voat a few times.
You can see the archives - which we have kept - on the site in the opening text.
https://fngt.gq is the domain, click on Forum and you can scroll down and see links to the various years. We go back to 2017.
Our archivist passed away, so now @crazy takes care of it. COF, or CynicalOldFart is no longer with us. It was a pretty major hit to some of us and means we are down to just two people helping to keep this going.
