Back in the dark ages, The PRS Forum became The Gear Page, which is still here and going gangbusters.
This IS the best PRS forum, but it still doesn’t have a “buy and sell” section, which is still beyond ridiculous!Why does anyone need more or other PRS forums? Isn't this one ok?
I used to belong to Birds & Moons when I had my 90’s Goldtop McCarty…..That turned into The Gear Page.in 2001.There used to be Birds and Moons. Not sure what happened to it
I know I get registered but never been activeI used to belong to Birds & Moons when I had my 90’s Goldtop McCarty…..That turned into The Gear Page.in 2001.
Actually, the original, non-affiliated, unofficial PRS Forum more or less turned into TGP.I used to belong to Birds & Moons when I had my 90’s Goldtop McCarty…..That turned into The Gear Page.in 2001.

Nope. Brian Scherzer owned the original "Unofficial PRS Forum, Scott Peterson came on later as co-admin, and He & Scott Peterson owned TGP. I believe they both share ownership of TGP to this day...BaM and TGP actually ran as parallel forums. I believe they were owned by the same person, but can't swear to it.
BaM dissolved, which as @DISTORT6 says led to the creation of this forum, but a decent portion of BaM users migrated to Vintage Rocker as well.
Yes, yes it was...BAM was also a great place to sell gear...
I loved that joint. The new version is just too hard for me to read on my phone, otherwise I’d pop in.^^^What he said^^^
We tried to keep one of them alive but ownership made that difficult. We made a new house but it is small and not just dedicated to PRS TBH.
No worries. You and anyone else are welcome at any time.I loved that joint. The new version is just too hard for me to read on my phone, otherwise I’d pop in.

BaM emerged when Brian closed down the Unofficial PRS Forum (long story) and another guy started BaM... Phil Macino (sp ???)
He basically let it run into the ground, (due to lack of his interest) and promised ME he'd turn over the keys. He never did, claiming it was too far gone to save (it wasn't, but it would have taken a lot of work to get it up to speed...) I had someone lined up to do that, but I never received the keys...
As this was happening, PRS (the company) wanted to start their own forum. It had been in the works well before BaM went tits up, but that didn't stop the rumor mill that PRS killed BaM (totally not true, as I was in on the conversations of BaM closing, and this place opening well before either one happened...)
Hans and I were heartbroken when this happened and we really tried to save BaM. I made sure to let all of the old moderators know what was happening, and PRS asked a few of us to help moderate this place...
Feelings were hurt, accusations were made (all were false), but most of that is now water under the bridge. Personally, I hold no grudges (except to Phil) and here we are...
PRS is a company that makes and SELLS guitars. Why on earth would they want a "For Sale" section that directly competes with that mission?
Looking back, I have been a moderator on these three forums (the Unofficial PRS Forum, TGP and now this place), continuously since the Spring of 2000... What a crazy ride it's been!
And thanks for all that you do!Nope. Brian Scherzer owned the original "Unofficial PRS Forum, Scott Peterson came on later as co-admin, and He & Scott Peterson owned TGP. I believe they both share ownership of TGP to this day...
