Who is familiar with acousticfriends.com? I just recently came across it and signed up. The founder just posted a message that he is shutting it down soon due to costs.

Maybe this isn't the place to talk about it, but I was just wondering who knows about it, what is your opinion, etc. Having just discovered the site, I do not feel I can offer an informed opinion of it.

I am a member, but don't do much with it. It's basically MySpace for people who love acoustic music. It's really a very nice site, and it's a shame it is shutting down, but, like all acoustic music, it had trouble finding people tapping into the mainstream.

Oh well, short of a rush to buy lots of things from the acoustic friends store, there's no hope at this point.

I don't believe they are shutting down now.

You are right, they are sticking around. Apparently they struck some deal with their software supplier. Cool, but I still haven't done much with it yet. Time will tell.
