We just welcomed our 2,000th member!
« on: July 13, 2013, 12:48:58 AM »
"TheStrummer" is officially UTGF's 2,000th member!   ;D

Unbelievable!  It was only about a year and half ago, that we were just starting out.  It really baffles my mind.

I'd like to publicly thank every member here.  I'd also like to thank our wonderful mod team.  The dealers that represent their stores have also been a great asset to have here as well.  The depth of knowledge that our members have here is amazing.

As of this posting we have 33,445 Posts in 2718 Topics. 

It's a joy to watch as people ask questions and receive well thought out answers.  In the beginning, I had hoped that this place might be a "go to" source for people with questions about all things Taylor etc...obviously outside of contacting Taylor directly.  :D

Thanks again, and I'll see you all on the forum.  :)

Congrats UTGF! Thank you to all who make it possible. I appreciate all the thoughtful and knowledgeable people here. I enjoy hearing all the stories and seeing the pictures of beautiful Taylor guitars. It might be bad for our GAS.....but then again, there are a lot worse things in life than having a passion for guitars and music. PLAY ON UTGF!

no, thank you Josh for making this possible for all of us. this is one of the most fun guitar forums i've been to. i was made to feel welcome immediately and i've probably doubled my Taylor knowledge in the short time i've been here.

Wow, congrats to us and especially you Josh for making this a great place to hang-out......although at times it's a bit hard on my wallet I know I can come here and hang out with friends.   ;D

Thanks, Josh, for providing a friendly place for Taylor folks to gather.  I have learned a lot here, laughed a bunch, been "wowed" by some beautiful instruments, and appreciate "the friends I haven't met, yet," thanks to you and this forum.

It's the special people in those numbers that keep me coming back.

Best wishes,
Captain Jim

Has it been a year and a half already? :o My how time flies when you're having fun! ;)

Congratulations to TheStrummer, and Josh, thanks for creating this forum! It's terrific to have a place dedicated to but not totally exclusive to Taylor Guitars! :) And for the record, behind the scenes Josh really IS as nice as he comes across on screen. :D And it's been a pleasure to work with the other mods, too! :) Awesome dealers as well! ;D

Thanks to everyone here!

I've gotten some good advice and have tried to give some of a non musical nature.

I check in almost daily even if I don't sign in.

Best, Rick
