There is an ongoing discussion in a separate thread about the limitations of rodbuilding.org - and while there are a few, that we are working feverishly in the background to patch up/update into the 21st century - even ChatGPT knows what rodbuilding.org is:

From an search point of view - the word “rodbuilding” in any search engine the forum is the number one organic result.

This has been my go to site along with Toms magazine and DVDs since I started building rods in 2009 as a hobby. Im not computer savvy but I have no problem navigating this site as is. I simply read the instructions. I ahve been to other sites only to be bombarded with pop ups and politics. I always use the sponsors on this forum to purchase blanks and components, no need to use google. Anyway, just saying, I like this place as is.

Before the last few years rodbuilding.org was not the first place that organically showed in the results. NFC wasn't the easiest to find either. I am sure it is your team that we can congratulate for a job well done. Preserving this community is what everyone here should strive for.

Glad to hear Aleks, obviously the 21st century welcomes it haha. I'm looking forward to what you have in store for the future here.

Next you have to ask ChatGPT "how do I build a fishing rod" and share with the class
