At one time, GT had a wonderful feature which allowed all members to post (not a forum post) whatever personal information and background they wanted. The info was available to all who looked up/clicked on the user name. Such information included the area where the member lived, the guitar experience of the member and any personal background that the posting member wanted to include, e.g., job, guitars owned, music interests, etc..

It was a super way to build comradship and it was helpful in responding to a forum post... is the poster an expert player or a raw newbie? It was fun to learn of common interests, shared guitars or experience,or that a member lived just an hour down the interstate or in a neighboring shire.

A few years ago the feature was removed without notice or explanation. I miss it.
