They must be fully-moderated, insofar as they want daytime employees monitoring every post in real-time to prevent anyone from posting that Rick kicks Fender's a@# a few dozen times a night

"...operational Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM MST"

Sounds like dry cleaning.

The least they could do is have it available 24/7 but no posting option after hours.

Not a ripoff of Rick's site, but they do use the same software as the venerable gretschpages.com, which has no factory connection that I'm aware of.

This dry-cleaning is just another Big Corporate move and will also have the effect of giving the site a HUGE North American bias, and what would we do without our Brit (and others in different time zones) cousins?

not that interested in Fender. Too common, everybody who doesn't play a Gibfon plays a Founder.
