www.KitGuitarsForum.com

I looked up something on the internet, the definition of something I think and one of the deals that I clicked on led me to a thread from a guitar building forum (which shall remain nameless) and what I noticed is that when someone posts on a thread they sign off with among other things all of the guitars that they own, like it's some sort of status symbol. There are a lot of things that I like about KGF, too many to list but I will say that I'm glad that nobody here does that. I've read the KFG rules (I believe there are only three) and there's nothing that says you can't do that, it's just nobody does, I like that because it symbolic that here at KGF no one is more important than anyone else. We leave our egos in the workshop or somewhere else and keep them out of the forum.
Some members here sign off with their company name or website such as "Authorized Martin Repair" or "Harvest Moon Guitars" and that's cool and even smart (IMO).
If I want to know how many guitars you own or what kinds or brands you have I'll ask you and you can choose to tell me or tell me to go jump in a lake.
Now I'll step down off my apple box and let someone else have a turn!

David, I am a member of an "acoustic forum" and I too have my inventory listed. Never thought of it as a status thing, just saw that the majority had theirs listed so I did as well. One thing that, for me, was good about it is when I had a question concerning a certain model I would search for members that had that model listed and pick their brain a little. Now I'm wondering if I'm a snob and should remove said inventory!!! Each forum is different, but the majority of the "listers" have great deal of help. Just my 2 cents.

Hey Steve, I never thought of it from your perspective, sounds logical. I don't think you should change how you operate on the other forum just because of my opinion, if that's the norm for the forum then it's an acceptable practice.

David, I agree with you completely.

Kind of like the "walls of honor" in the office, all some guys achievement awards plastered.

I would suffer from guitar envy stress syndrome if they were all posted!!

I joined a Boaters type forum a while back because I was getting conflicting opinions (from the so-called experts) on an issue I was concerned about and they did the same thing there, they listed the boat(s) that they owned.
