Yes, I subscribed to a thread right before I found this thread. I'll drop in on the builds periodically, but subscribing to all will wreak havoc on my ADD.Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed? I haven't even subscribed to half the build threads I want, and I'm already drowning in all the notifications and all the interesting stuff to read up. I feel like a child with too much candy.
Quoted for emphasis.
I've been a part of, and lurked in a lot of online communities over the years, especially luthiery and bass guitars, and I have to agree. There's nothing like it anywhere. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Ermagerd yes. That's why I made a project tracking spreadsheet.
It's also why there is a master list with links in the first post, which will be kept up to date with all build off entries. I find these builder entry lists to be gold for years afterwards. 
I did something similar, but I cant unsub from the one I found least interesting... because it's my own post.

I will probably still do that. I contemplated doing it right off the bat, but then I thought, what if there is only one entry in each category? Or none in one of them? Thankfully I significantly underestimated this community.Yeah, but you didn't break it down by build category, so we have to shun you.
Seriously tho, I refer back to those lists from past build-offs as well. So thanks for keeping that current.
You totally could have listed @RichterScale as the only build in his category for a few hours, just to pump his self esteem. The forums would have been LIT!I will probably still do that.

I probably should still be in my own category. I'm adding gold to my build, which I figure puts me somewhere in the $150-300,000 bass department.You totally could have listed @RichterScale as the only build in his category for a few hours, just to pump his self esteem.

I looked real quick, so I may be off on a few, but it's looking like,
In a dance off? Yeah, probably. I know @Beej does ballet and I know you don't want nunna me
