I do feel a bit anchor-less now that I don't always log in to ILF the first thing I do.

Its funny, I was also strangely drawn to making a return to this forum recently too. Wonder if 2024 will be the year we return en masse to niche internet forums again like the good ole days before Facebook Groups, Reddit and Discord stole us away. Also seems like many dipped around 2020/2021, wonder if that was just due to the pandemic or if there was some other shift of interests and/or culture that moved us away
Like, for me the pedal culture kinda went ham and it got old real fast... Bought several hyped up, very expensive boutique pedals only to find that they sucked or had inherent flaws that made them borderline unusable. Resellers started jacking up the prices old old gear like everything was a collectable. That was kinda the nail in the coffin for me that made me lose interest.
I pretty much sold off all my guitar pedal collection and amps about four years ago, but I'm kinda itching to start messing with some pedals (reasonably priced or DIY) again for a bit of fun, so I came crawling back here for some inspiration

And all anyone is really interacting with on a non-message board is advertising, even when the guise is a thin veil of humanity. Sometimes substance can eke thru, but mostly, we are all on thee toilet, literally and figuratively.
I endure guitar Youtube (biggest slum of all!), somehow, but even that has become a circling-thee-drain affair when all those suggested Shein try-on hauls and horror moobie podcats sound more appealing for my actual happiness, but at least ILF is still a place that eggisists! For nao! Ewe just gotta beliebe!
