Relic Forum

To prevent further issues with threads concerning Relics, it might be a good idea to start a Relic section?
I do not own a Relic, however I think they are often great looking guitars and there is a large contingency of posters that like them, as well as a group that can't see a Relic thread without sarcastic comments.

It may move those threads out of the general Tele section and promote conflict resolution?

A great idea, but I think there are enough sub-forums here already, and policing the whole shooting match is a tough enough job as it is for Paul and the Mods.

All that is really needed is for the anti-relic brigade to just ignore the relic threads and click "Next", instead of feeling duty-bound to drop into every relic thread and say those same old boring words "Relicing? I just don't get it....".

In the last relic-related flame war, one of our members quoted some VERY sensible words that just about sum it all up. So that I never forget them, I have made them the second part of my signature line.

If ever I see someone say "I just don't get it", I offer those words. It usually works a treat.....:wink:

What about substituting the phrase "broken in" for "relic"? I like guitars that are already broken in for me. The neck feels nice and smooth and you don't have worry about putting that first ding in it.

No relic forum for me... Relic's are a finish choice and a recent one at that. It would be like making a Sunburst Forum and a Seafoam Green Forum.

PS. Some other new forums are in development as we speak.

I suggest a "Penalty Box" forum. Instead of suspending users, only allow them to post to the one subforum, so we can all still laugh at them.

That may be a good idea? A Finish forum for all the paint, relic, neck tinting, etc threads?
