I think Brad Evans has said excatley what most people are thinking the site went down just one too many times. People just don;t want to put in the time and energy to loose it all again. I myself used to go through old posts when doing something new or just wanted to make sure and if the info was not there you could always ask and normally get a answer within the day. I actually need the epoxy post Brad is talking about for a didge in the next week or so. Time will tell what happens to this site. To me it has always felt like home I have made some good friends through it and it will be sad to see it go.

Let me just say that the site looks great. Seems to be working well and your work is much apreciated.

However, I honestly belive the reason people have navigated away from using the site is the complete loss of info and discussions with every "reboot". It starts to seem pretty moot to have typed up lengthy replys and post pics if only to lose it all again and again. You really need some kind of "archive" that you could in some way resurrect a few of the great threads of the past few years. I remember starting an epoxy thread that went on for pages with a lot of input from almost every professional American craftsman chiming in. Gone. Perhaps people are just sitting back, waiting to see how stable this recent incarnation will turn out to be? Plus everyone I know has been really busy, out and about and didgeing/teaching all over. Once a bunch of us are stuck inside a bit more during the colder months I'm sure posting will pick. Good luck, and I know I might not speak for everyone on this. Lets hear it from another point of view

Oh, and were is my :geek: emoticon!?!

Do we want to continue this website? The last posts are over 60 days, is there still an interest in continuing the tribe website? Please express your concerns, questions, or reasons for moving to another forum/website. Feel free to add your post in complete candor.

Cheers, Rick

Hey guys John here!

Recently I had finished my first didge build. I came up with the idea to make a didge for when I was still in school and needed to do a project to graduate. So I decided why not make an insutrment that I love to play. So I spent some time talking to Brad Evans. After talking to him for some time the decision was made. He mailed me a raw agave stalk. Once I received it I went to work and handed it in to the school with my report and they LOVEDDDD it.

During the build process I did run into a few minor and major mistakes. Spent some time fixin them and what not. If any of you reading this went to Treeman Gathering in New York I did bring it to the festival. While at Treeman I spent some time talking to Chad Butler and he pointed somethings out to me. So When I got home I began to do the final corrections and just finished it today! So please lemme know what you think. Also suggestions would be LOVED! Thanks!

Hi,

I won't be able to make it to your fest this year, but I wanted to compliment you on the way you seem to appreciate the volunteers for the event :)

As a volunteer for 9 years at JT Fest, and 8 years at Indidjinus I know that the volunteers really do the heavy lifting at gatherings such as this.

Lotsa good folks contribute effort in many big and small ways, all important in the final result and that's how it all happens in reality. And  although the effort and results are the real reward, it's still nice to get a little boost.

Best wishes with your event,

peace and respect,

robert

My bag is packed (literally a backback) and I'm leaving tommorrow.

see ya'all there :)

peace and respect,

robert

Hi guys,

I just added  a new software for adding links to anything related to the didgeridoo. It still needs a bit of tweeking. After you enter your info you get an error but it is not a critical error and your post is working fine.

To add a Didge Dugg, You must sign in, then select the link at the top of the page, From there follow the prompts.   NOTE: Photos are a max size 20K and must be sized to 60X60 pixels.

Enjoy, and spread the good news via the DidgeridooTribe.com
