    IIRC, we opened our doors to the great unwashed on Sat 3rd Aug 2013.

    There's only Lee left in an admin role from the original 5 of us who had carefully designed and built the site over the preceding week (well, it took us 6 days, we rested on the 7th), but there's still 4 of the 5 left who regularly post here.

    Does anyone remember who the 5th fretboardbuilder was?

    Streeties have been arranged.

    I always see Chris Ireland mentioned on the page & wonder if it’s the same guy who built monster 3500 Rover trikes in back street heroes

    I do ;)

    I also seem to recall that, originally, I only volunteered to host the thing.

    There's a lesson there for all :D

    As Lady BMcH proposed the name, she has a claim to some cake.

    Wrong @Jonathangus ;

    He had a mod role in the early days, but wasn't part of the original build team.

    I also seem to recall that, originally, none of us really expected it to last more than a couple of weeks ....

    There's another lesson. ;)

    Well, of course *you* would know @Sporky as you were one of the 5 too - I wanted to see if anyone else remembered!

    I wasn’t in The Five but I was in the first few huddled masses 

    I also know very well that modding forums is something I don’t have the time or stomach for!

    I think I was on Music Radar for about a year before here. I know the community goes back years before that. I only started buying gear again around 2012 and have learned a great deal in those 11 years. It's taught me that this is a fucking expensive hobby.

    When I first joined (probably sometime in 2001) it was split into forums for Guitarist, Guitar Techniques and the other one.

    Ah, that would explain why he's the odd one out in the New Members section, thread-starter-wise.

    I doubt that's a tone-sponge. And the thick coating will take all the resonance out. Yes I'm starting a tone-cake debate

    We only did it for a bit of a joke/challenge whilst MR was down (which was - supposedly - only termporarily at the time).

    If we'd known how it was going to turn out ....

    :D
