The Mysterious John H
08/19/04 at 19:12:11

Anyone ever talked to John H, the creator of this forum? I never see any posts from him unless he is posting under a different name. I seem to remember seeing an old post from Greg that he hadn't been able to contact him.

John H, wherever you are, I just want to say thanks for an amazing forum. This is so much more focused and easier to use than some of the other forums -- not that they are bad but this is just so much easier!

Thanks for starting it.

However, I have tried 3 times to contact him with no return.

I was a wondering that too. He hasn't even posted in a year. I was wondering if he was aware the forum has kind of taken off rather nicely...

I once a had a forum on Cheesy Guitars (you know, the Savages of the guitar world). It just sputtered out after a few weeks of some interest. After a year I took it out to the back 40 and put it out of it's misery. I know how frustrating it can be when you "throw a party and nobody comes." But the party has started hoppin' now!

I just hope that someday when the dues on domain name or server space here comes due and the whole place becomes nothing more than dust in the wind. :'(

I do support forums that I am active in. I'd be more than happy to cough up a Jackson now and then to help pay the bills.

That domain name just recently expired after a long illness. I'd hate to see this one turned off due to non-payment too. What ever would I do with myself

Well maybe he pops in periodically and checks on things. If that's the case, John, thanks and let us know if there is anything we can do to help in terms of site maintenance. It is a great forum.

It would be good to know if anything needs to be done to keep the site going...

Hey guys! Wow...There are quite a few of us around here now. Sorry I have been absent over the last year or so. I have been busy busy busy!

I appreciate all your posts and concerns and promise to put a bit more effort into this place we call home.

If you have any input on how to make this site serve our community better, please give me a shout.

I have no intention on letting this site go after all I am a savage owner! (The red one on the home page). It does cost money to run the site but so far it has not been a problem. If anyone here would like to contribute that would be most execellent but it is not required.

My goal here was / is to build a savage community with tons of resouces and NO annoying banner ads or pop ups.

A big thank you from me to you all. THANK-YOU. Without your daily posts this site would be worthless.

The Mysterious John H.
