The "gospel", the "bible", the "buzz", whatever you want to call it, is now taking on a life of its own out there. And that's a very cool thing! Cool On the TM website, the Guthrie video clips page is now by far the most active and popular page and many other guitar related forums have threads like this going:

Let's keep it going!

That's cool but also sad how quickly that thread meandered into the "AH Syndrome" about Vai.

Q: How many guitar players does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: 13

1 - to actually change it....

9 - to stand in the back of the room with their arms folded muttering:
"I could have done it better"

2 - to debate in a forum just how much better

1 - to post in the same thread how childish the other 2 dudes are

Yeah, that forum has a tendency to let threads get hijacked and move onto something totally unrelated from the subject matter. Oh well, what can you do?... I'm starting to get bombarded with enquiries about the DVD's. It's a lot of work but something I enjoy doing for Guthrie. I'm also forwarding a lot of people to this forum to get the info as there is really nothing else out there. Running or operating a few forums now, I've noticed that for every registered member, there is probably another 4 or 5 (possibly more) who are just passive observers. Donnie, do you find that to be the case with the Shawn Lane forum?

Ya, its the case with most forums. Here's some facts about the Shawn Lane forum as of today:

284 Registered Members

- 129 (45%) have never posted even 1 message
- 22 (7.7%) have at least 100 posts

10,902 total posts

- the top ten members account for 8,166 (75%) of the posts

Note: Our membership was hovering around 200 until the admin made it such that only members could download MP3s and vids. All of a sudden people started signing up like crazy!

Well I felt that was only fair considering how much time unregistered users were spending in the media section. Even so, very few of the newer members post at all.
