Are you ready to rock? Are you ready for a good time? Let's make some noise!!!
Today marks not an end to the FNGT, but marks a new chapter. There may be laughter and joy, or there may be tears and sorrow. For some, it could be both - and that's okay.
Let us huddle around the final embers that was the fire of Voat - but let us not go out silently. Let us leave this place with ruckus and merriment. Let us not just make enough noise to be heard 'round the fire, but let us make enough noise to be heard for miles around - so that others may appreciate our gifts.
Today it is the last guitar thread on Voat. If Voat goes down during the thread, look for us on Preview Voat
Like a Phoenix, we shall rise from the ashes and be enjoined anew on Poal.

I want to take a moment to thank all those who have so far contributed, and to thank those who have contributed in the past.
This is not the last thread, but it is an important thread. It's the last one we'll have on Voat. Tomorrow marks the first one we'll have on Poal.
Let's take a moment to think of those lost and those left behind...
Now, let's go back to making some noise!
The thread is about you. You make the thread. You, even those who just comment, make the thread. It has never been about me, nor will it ever be about me. It's about you and encouraging you to create and to share. It's about coming together over a common bond that is music. It's about sharing our joy for our musicianship.
Those of you that just listen, don't... Take a minute to thank the artists for the work they put in. It is, indeed, work. We've spent countless hours learning to master our instruments. We've spent countless hours crafting these tracks for you. Let them know that you appreciate their work - and it is indeed work.
If you feel like contributing, now's the time. There will never be another last thread on Voat. This is it. This is your chance to get in on the very last guitar thread. Let's ride 'er 'til the wheels fall off.
Rock on, goats. Rock on!

What he said. I'll just add
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage
I pretty much listen from outside the gilded cage but you absolutely wonderful musicians have made my life better. Thank you all so much for sharing your music. Hope you all will follow us to Poal but if not
Keep On Rocking In The Free World so Rock n Roll Will Never Die.

From one thread that asked, "Is this where we share our work" to today...
I never dreamed it would last this long, nor be this successful.
When I last checked the front page, we don't need no fuckin' sticky.
Your many, many hours of work are often overlooked - as few check the archives. But, the forum has had a huge influx of users, so many more will have seen the massive contributions you've made.
Thank you. Thank you, very much. Without you, the thread would be a lesser place. Nay, the site would be a lesser place.

I never even knew there was such a thing anywhere in the world where people would get together and share the music they make every week like this.

There wasn't, until I made it.
Though, to be fair, I'd made one prior to this. It was smaller and private.

Tell him I wish him a very Merry Christmas and that his next year is his best. I'm looking forward to his voice on Fridays.
