Apologies if I'm teaching Grandma to suck eggs here, but you guys do know about the "new" version of the old Garagepunk forum don't you? http://garagepunk.proboards100.com/index.cgi It's only got 270 members so far. A lot that are members also joined the Hideout and of course the Hideout has a few thousand members now, so it may be that the Hideout has become the forum of choice after all. A lot of "refugees" from the old Garagepunk forum also joined the G45 forum http://finerecordingstudio.com/g45central/ but that is mostly geared towards collectors of original 45s and may not be as interesting to those who can't afford to buy the originals, have broader tastes or who like to hear about current bands.
