Who thinks we should do this........ Guitar Questions and Answers does it and now the Effects forum is doing it........ and this is one of my favourite forums and lots of helpful poeple come here and yet don't get recognized for there help....
Think its a goood idea?

[guitarfan19]

anyone?

[wannalearn01]

I'd rather not label someone as being the "best"...I mean there aren't the posts on this forum to really justify an award, and empty rewards make good rewards feel as though they are worth less.

I mean really it would only be the person who saw the "how do I string my guitar" post first, or maybe the ole fav. "what kind of guitar can I get" as soon as it popped up.

I am/was proud to win the GTU'er of the Week and it felt good...if every forum has a award, they all will be dilluted with posts.

I am fine with not having a AGD gtu'er of the week, everyone here does a really good job!

its not about 'the best' gtuer.......it just recognizes helpful people in this forum. i mean if someone is extremely helpful in this forum but doesn't really answer alot in GQA then they don't get selected for Gtuer of the week. i just think it would be nice because this forum does have alot of helpful people.......not to mention this might make this forum a little more exciting

I think most folks here are a bit more mature, and aren't in need of the "special" recognition, but if that's what most want to do, then I spect I'm wrong.....now that doesn't happen often.

If you're going to have a person of the week from the acoustic forum, then I can save you alot of time and trouble....just give it to ole Dad now. Not to be dis-respectable to anyone else, but who is always the man with the answers?

Dadfad.

Just what does the person of the week get out of it anyway....a wall plaque....watch.....movie tickets.....money....T-shirt? I think just knowing that ya helped somebody out is all folks need.

Am I wrong here?

This is a slow forum...nothing is going to make it more exciting, except more questions, and more answers, but there aren't may that are strictly acoustic...and if so dadfad answers them...

Just please don't do a pole...

We all realize that Dadfad is a great help to us all but, IMHO, I think do Goldrush (Sorry, I'm not good with names ) deserves a mention, as well as Troy.

Yes, in a way it's childish, but it's also just a way of saying: 'Hey, we appreciate the help/input'. It's those kind of people who make the forum tick. Where you acually get descent answers (No dis-respect to the other forums: But alot of cr@p gets written in there sometimes...)

And I will sponsor a week in a private game lodge over here for anyone of you old guys winning. They just have to get here

Isn't South Africa a war zone...or has the media just blown things out of proportion?

Let's see how much that would be:

Only about 2100 round trip...

Yes it is! manufacturing granades is very profitable (sp?). We don't have tar roads and there's no electricity. In fact, my pc runs on parafine

Seriously, Troy, you will only hear about our country when a tourist gets shot, mugged or whatever. But it's not as bad as the press make it sound. As with a lot of countries, there are places where you just shouldn't go...

But then you can work at places with views like this....

You work on a porch?

OK, not the best picture. Yes, Troy, working on a porch, looking at the big five & other animals is probably better than being stuck in rush-hour traffic on the way to a job behind a desk in an office... (Sorry Dadfad, and anyone else I might have offended )

No offense taken, Lian. You're right about that. (The only good thing about my job is that the hours are so long I rarely have to contend with rush hour traffic! )


(And someday I hope to be able to take you up on that offer!)

[epearson]

I don't really post in the other forums so I didn't know there was a GTUer of the week. Goes to show what I know. Anyway, I don't really care either way, we don't really need something like that here, I mean, we're real guitar players so there's our reward right there.

[guitarfan19]

All righty then i guess we may as welll just forget about it.....we don't reallly need it i just wanted to see if you guys wanted to do it.........sorry to put up such a lame post

[dadfad]

I'll nominate Guitarfan19, for being a nice enough guy to think that guys (and girls) who post in this forum are worthy of recognition.

thank you so much dadfad that means alot to me

DADFAD: a class act all the way. As a person he is one of a kind, and as a human he is one of the kindest. [Goldrush wipes away a tear and continues drinking.... ]

J/K about the tear and drinking part. Seriously, we are extremely fortunate to have DADFAD as a resource here at GTU. His vast musical experience and expertise are a continual source of instruction and inspiration. His wit and humility further compliment his charm and personality. His knowledge of music history is extensive and, these days, quite rare. Oh, what the heck, DADFAD will you marry me? Just don't tell my wife.....

Just be careful when your flying over Jo'burg. With the war going on, there's a slight chance that the plane might get shot down....

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist )

i dont really know what your talking about since im new to this forum and all that

But i do want to say thanks to all you guys, goldrush, dadfad,wannalearn01 to name a few. So far you have helped me far more than you could ever imagine
i just wish i could hear some of you guys and watch you play, that would be excellent
thanks for sharing your knowlege with some one like me with sub par guitar knowlege. hopefull through practice and reading the stuff yous post in these forums i can someday be usefull to someone wanting to learn guitar
thanks guys

[dadfad]

Hearing (reading) someone say a post helped is the reward in itself. As I've said before, we all started at exactly the same place once, with a guitar in our hand thinking "Now what?" We'd all still be in that place if it wasn't for the help of others.
