Hey Pro, good to see you back. Wow, I didn't even know there is a General forum.

Why create The Bar when you have General?

I have stated this many times, I'll say it once more.

I do not see a problem with OT in this forum. Once again, you must have MOVEMENT and lots of it for a forum to thrive. You want people coming back a lot. If the pace is fast, they come back more. Many times, this forum barely moves.

Another thing is community. Over time, you start to kinda like people and you want to share this or that. Like, just two days ago, I started to create a post about one of the most unusual things I've ever seen. An 'alien' critter I came up on during a hike. But, due to people who don't like OT, I didn't post it. It would take me 30 minutes to tell this story. I wasn't going to waste my time putting it in The Bar. There are not enough eyeballs to make it worthwhile. So, a seriously cool story, you guys will never know.

Lastly, time. It takes time to click here, click there, to visit multiple forums. I have seen it time and time again, you get too many sub-forums, it hurts. My opinion. I try to respect whatever the rules are.

I just don't see what the big deal is with OT. I honestly don't. But, hey, obviously, some people do.

The cool thing about being alive today is technology. I am friggin' blown away by the lowly psr2000. I am blown away by conversing with people on a forum like this from all over the doggone world. That's amazing. And now, ScottYee will attest, you can even TALK to them live. FOR FREE. And even PLAY YOUR KEYBOARD for them while talking. Now, that is darn sure amazing.

So, I'm pretty fired up about the whole thing. I'm a guitar player but heck, an arranger is a load of fun. And pretty cool for making demo's of the songs I write.

So, whatever it takes to make it work.
