MIMF turns 24 today (July 5th)!

The place to chat with your fellow MIMForum members about whatever you want that doesn't relate to instruments, or isn't specific to one instrument family. Pull up a chair, grab a cold one out of the virtual 'fridge, and tell your friends what's on your mind.

MIMF turns 24 today (July 5th)!

Post by Jim McConkey »

We don't have big on-line parties like we used to, but the MIMF opened 24 years ago today and it still informative and sane after all these years.

That means July 5, 2022 will mark our 25th "silver" anniversary. Please share your thoughts on how we should celebrate this monumentous occasion. If Deb were still around, dark chocolate 25th anniversary medallions might be in order. The Forum hasn't been as active lately as in years past. If you have any ideas on bringing in new members, activating current members, or otherwise revitalizing the Forum, please let us know your thoughts!

Many thanks to all the participants here who freely share their knowledge and experience and keep it civil, thanks to LMII and all our previous sponsors, and thanks to the all-volunteer staff who keep this place running! If you want to help, buy one of our plans, make a donation, use our Amazon affiliate Bookstore and Tool Store, and/or support our sponsors (and tell them the MIMF sent you!).

Here's to many more!

Hi Jim. Thanks to you guys who keep this going. It's the only lutherie forum I check regularly because many folks have real world knowledge, and posts are informative, civil, useful, and I don't have to waste my time wading through all the BS and detritus on other fora.
Maybe I can't fix it, but I can fix it so no one can fix it

Thanks Jim for reminding us (a belated Happy Birthday, MIMF!).

We haven't had an auction or contest in a while (the traditional 25th anniversary is silver, so maybe that could be tied in somehow). Giveaways are popular too. Maybe something to motivate some folks to finish projects (ahem)? Most valuable contributor(s) awards?

Other ideas anyone?
