Yeah 12 years JC !!!
I still remember the day when I put on-line this forum and i met You when You joined for the first time ... that was my lucky day! During this long period You and all the other "historical" members have been the engine of this forum which is now, I believe, one of the biggest archive of knowledge for congas and percussions on the web...
I don't know if this will help but two month ago I started to work to upgrade the entire CongaPlace site including the forum and myCongaPlace community ... it's a very hard job and I'm alone as usual but I hope to publish the new site early next year.
The idea to make a book out of the archive is great but i would need people to collaborate with me to do it... That could also be a good opportunity to re-organized the entire forum as well.
By the way we are not dead yet! If the web analyzer says the truth we have an average of 4.600 people consulting the forum every day. It means that most of the people come here just to look at the topic but they do not subscribe and/or partecipate.
If You want to have a look at what I'm doing this is the address of the new home page but there are still many things to change and sometime it could not work properly because it's under construction and test continously..
http://www.mycongaplace.com/cp/ I'm using the new responsive technology... the site graphic is nothing really special but it will be visible on every device (PC, Tablet, smartphones). The open slider will be completely changed.
Thanks you all for now and let's keep in touch ...
ALL THE BEST TO CONGAPLACE MEMBERS!!!
