not really... it kinda was always like this...You get a while when someone raises a serious guitar question, and everyone gets involved (i mean like the "guitar solo's making a comeback" thread), which is pretty good... some times we need to let our hair down, and not take our selves too seriously... I mean 'tis the open forum... for open thought (whithin what i consider to be decent)... I mean it'll pick up in a bit...
