New "BeatleGuitar" forum...check it out!

I recently joined a new forum at www.beatleguitar.com
It's brand new, and the admin are trying hard to get some interest, and provide an interesting site, with some variation on the usual fan site, by including some unusual sections, like one for ukulele players and one section for "Young Musician's", which only allows kids who play into that part, and is moderated by his 10 year old son, who plays both guitar and piano. (I especially like that part, since as a parent I am always looking for ways to get my kids more involved in their music.)
You guys might want to try it out, and give this guy a chance to make this work!
I got a very nice email from the admin after I joined, which I am pasting here in it's entirety:

"I hope you don't mind that as the Admin for www.beatleguitar.com, I am emailing you directly.

I wanted to personally thank you for joining and for participating on the new board....you're one of the first members to post, and I know it's hard to get interested in a new forum with not a whole lot of "content" yet, but with guys like you and the others who have joined in, we can make this a GREAT place to get together!

Anything you could do to help get the word out about the new board would be so deeply appreciated....we'd love to get as many new members as we can and really get the ball rolling, and have a lot of fun in the process!

Any suggestions you might have, or advice, will not only be heard with great enthusiasm, but acted upon as aggressively as we can,because we want this board to be what YOU want it to be!

As a member of a few other Beatle related forums, I have seen some wonderful interaction, but also some not-so-nice attitudes from some members as well, and our goal on BeatleGuitar is to promote a fun and warm environment where everyone is treated with respect, and even kids can join in on the section devoted to them , (Young Musicians), that is moderated by my own son, (the youngest of three), who plays guitar and piano, and would love to hear from kids like him who have been pressured into practicing a couple hours a day! LOL!

There's a lot of other areas that should be of interest too...a section to Buy, Sell, or Trade gear without paying any of the ridiculous charges incurred on eBay, and other sections like "Off-Topic" where ANY subject can be introduced for the purpose of generating some interesting conversation.

So, again, my HEARTFELT THANKS for joining, and for participating, and please honor us by visiting as often as you can with your busy life, and please find it in your heart to mention our forum to others like yourself that may have similar interests!

Warmest Regards,
Richard at BeatleGuitar"

I found the fake eBay listings to be a bit much though, very off-putting for me anyways...

Also, the huge pictures on the main forum page make for (in my opinion) horrible layout. Even when you put pictures in a book, it's not in between lines in the text!
