I'm very conflicted right now...
On one hand, I'm very happy to announce that the Progressive Clawhammer Forum on my website is back up and running! On the other hand...
As soon as it was launched, I noticed a number of problems with the forum and so prematurely terminated my account with the hosting service. I say "prematurely" because the founder of Hyperboards (the hosting service) contacted me and personally made sure that every single issue I raised was taken care of! At that point I became very impressed with both him and his company...
Now for the really bad news: As I deleted the forum, all the data from the members was lost and any who still want to participate will have to re-register. I apologize to all who signed up to the forum and will now have to do so again; I promise that the registration process is no longer confusing (one of the many issues Hyperboards fixed for me).
I've posted a blog entry with all the details and you can read the whole story here: Banjo Blog
Please consider re-registering as I feel this forum is important for the advancement of clawhammer technique and I want to see our "progressive clawhammer" community flourish.
Thank you for your patience...
