ORIGINAL: JohnWalshGuitar I think I joined the foro back in 2009 or so, not sure exactly. At the time it was such a busy place with really interesting conversations & more importantly, uploads happening several times a day. I have to admit I don't frequent the foro as much nowadays mostly because I was always mostly interested in listening to other players and there seems to be less of that now. Fair play to Juan for always putting up stuff in the swap shop. Anyway, I'm sure you all remember how fun and educational it was to have Jason McG here. I know something happened but never cared enough for the drama to actually know what that something was. Florian was great too, he brought huge enthusiasm. Others like Todd, Doit (innovative guitar upgrade aside [:D]), John O etc don't seem to be around much anymore. Personally I'd like to see the place gain back some of the enthusiasm and sharing of uploads/playing etc over the increasing quantity of Off-Topic posts that seem to be showing up. No offense intended to anyone. Just interested in your thoughts Regards, John Its because young people play pokemon Go instead of guitar nowadays [:D] No but seriously, I bet you can see a similar decline in other genres like Jazz in a jazz forum too. Society and technology (as useful and interesting as it might be in some aspects) is killing the passion to start to play an instrument and replaced it with other things. The older users get more and more busy or don't have much to add. And fresh new blood isn't coming.
