    Oh man, I got my start on the Sneap forum as well around 2001. At one point there was a forum all-stars vote, and I was included in that along with Kazrog and a few others. I remember Shane and I were getting such crazy guitar tones out of a POD, that we had to send Andy and everyone else our presets, haha. I'm pretty sure we originally met there as well, Ola.

      I remember Andy asking advice how to export them while talking to him on AIM.

      It's generally a problem with communities growing too large. Partially because of trolls seeping in, but when questions get repeated on the same platform over and over again, I get the frustration.
