Hi David,
looks like it's still working to me.
I'm not on the newsgroup these days, but it's my understanding that nearly all of the action is there, particularly among the experienced users. The forum (either 1 or 2) is better suited to newbie questions.
That's just it. We are getting withdrawal symptoms from *not* answering newbie questions. Maybe the newbies read the FAQ too well.
all quiet on the western front
I monitor 5 forums, including NWC. Not all are about music. They are all generally quiet these days. Besides hurricanes and politics: (1) Opera browser is now free, and they want to overtake Firefox; (2) It seems that Google might be trying to set up a wide network of encryptable free WiFi; (3) There are iPod advances.
I imagine that the younger crowd, who seem to be interested in these things, are busy enough. NWC appears to have a large footprint in traditional choir and classical, and there's only so much to discuss.
Nwc should have a feature added that alowes one note in guitar tab
that would attract more non-classical musicians
