Hello everyone. This is Shawn's father, he told me to go on here and let you all know that he won't be on here anymore and he cancelled the old site because last night he was in a car accident, a drunk driver hit him; miraculously he is still here with us, and they believe he's going to be losing most of the motor skills in his arm. This is a very sad thing to cope with, but he just wanted you all to know this, so that you could carry on the forum here...I hope you have all figured this out. He is forfitting the administrator priviledge for someone to take for him. the username is: admin password is: admin
You may see that the admin is Shawn, the display name can be changed to whatever you want. I wish you all luck, and God bless.

Dad, that's terrible news about your son Shawn. I hope the damage is not permanent, he is young and may recover, though it sounds pretty dark.
Is it the new site that's been up for a week that got cancelled? This forumboard still works, as it has for two years now. The link here to the new site doesn't work, and the ads to join there are also gone.
Please keep in touch, let us know what happens. You're in our prayers here.

That is terrible news for sure and my prayers are with you Shawn. I pray for a full and quick recovery. Sometimes the docs can get it wrong.
Mahayana. Do you want to continue as administrator. You seem to have contibuted a lot of great info in the past. It would be great to keep this going.
Stephan

Stephan, I prefer to leave things as they are for the present. We don't have enough info to make abrupt changes. I changed the password at admin (nothing else), so Shawn should get an e-mail with that. I will write there as well, hopefully things are improving. We all know what life and death situations involve for everyone concerned, it's not pleasant or the right time to make big decisions. I'll let you know what I find out, have to stay positive and be supportive. You know what I'm trying to say.

I join with all of you in stating my shock over this bad news. Let's keep praying for Shawn's recovery, and for his family during his convalescence.

Anders, I am really glad to see you! I was afraid the week-long site deal made you mad at us. Wish there was some way to contact Jersey and others.
We really don't know much about Shawn, his Dad both deleted the new site and closed Shawn's e-mail account. Maybe he will tell us whether Shawn is dead or alive sometime (I'm not holding my breath). I lost a son-in-law to a drunk driving accident, made me start wearing my seatbelt way before they passed the laws. It's a serious bummer, the whole deal.

Hi all this is Shawn, thank you for your support. I got out of the hospital today and aside from wrecked up bad...I am okay. I thank you all for taking over the site...I can't have the other site since all of the medical bills and everything. The email that I registered with yahoo at the time of creating this proboards forum a while ago is now inactive and they cancelled it. I am sorry that the email is bad. This one should be good though. I am not dead. That is good... I am messed up...but wouldn't you be too? I'm working on exercises to get my wrists going. My left wrist isn't too bad, but my right is pretty bad...none the less...I am working on it, and plan to get back to it when I can. God knows I need to get my typing back up to speed...this is taking forever. There are lots of free hosting sites out there where you can upload documents and whatever that are pretty worthwhile of the time. I also noticed a while back that proboards was working on a new server version with more stuff to use...but also there would be a way to host it somewhere on free sites...You can check it out by going to their support forum on their homepage (the links are plastered everywhere) they talk a lot about it there and such...but I don't plan on doing any web stuff lately...I'm very focused on my motor skills right now...along with being with family and friends. Something as time-consuming as a website are beyond my thoughts. Maybe later I guess....but the doctor's bills are hell though. Jesus.... Well...I just wanted to say that I was back and everything, that I am not dead, and although what the doctor says...I've heard of more people in worse shape become excellent guitarists...so I just want to rejoin up back here...I noticed that Shawn was changed to jazzguitarforum or something. That's cool. Well, I messed up my email before, so I should have been thehouseofshawn, however I put the wrong email so it is houseofshawn. My email is there if you need me. I also have the instant messenger thing too.

Great to hear from you, Shawn. I was pretty sure that nothing short of dying would keep you away. My cousin was thrown from a horse last winter, had broken arm and right wrist, and he is playing guitar again. It's a pain, but you'll get it all back. Where there's a will, there's a way kind of thing.
I want to put your name back as admin, changing that one thing changed all your old posts to the jazzguitarforum name, which is confusing. My email address is in there now, since they specified that the email address has to be valid. But that can be changed also, let me know?

Hi all this is Shawn, thank you for your support. I got out of the hospital today and aside from wrecked up bad...I am okay... Hi Shawn, Glad to hear you are back home and already focussed on your rehab and recovery. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping it won't be long until you are back developing your monster guitar chops. Best regards,

So...you want me to be back to Shawn? it doesn't really matter to me, I am content with this...unless you want me to be the administrator or something.
