We are working on creating a Dark Fire / Dusk Tiger Wiki - its still very much a work in Progress!
You must create a log in account here:

The Wiki Syntax is here:
http://www.dokuwiki.org/syntax (http://www.dokuwiki.org/syntax)
Probably will focus on a Unified Gibson Dark Fire / Dusk Tiger Wiki at first, expand into other areas of interest later - anyone is invited to contribute.
I'd hope we could organize into something like this:
http://axefxwiki.guitarlogic.org/index.php?title=Main_Page (http://axefxwiki.guitarlogic.org/index.php?title=Main_Page)
Excellent work MCK, Elantric and anyone else involved.
Just signed up and hope to contribute in the future.
Just to say that we've switched to MediaWiki instead of DokuWiki. You can register for the new wiki at: http://www.futureguitarnow.com/wiki (http://www.futureguitarnow.com/wiki)
Probably need to mention the new Fireball on the WiKi at some point!
Probably need to do a lot on the wiki at some point. :) Hopefully my schedule will ease up soon so I can add more stuff.
You're the best! Thanks for hanging in there and putting in the effort. Most appreciated. I would suggest we call the latest iteration FB for Fireball.
Is the wikki still available or am I doing something wrong? I just get a 404:File not found error page.
Hi Karyn
A warm welcome to FGN ;D

Ummm....same here !
There was a melt-down not long ago here at FGN, due to this some things are Not running as yet. I believe.
Wiki should be back soon (hopefully) I think forum had to get a clean out ;) or something.
Cheers & welcome again...
Thanks for the warm welcome :D
Meltdowns always leave things in a mess, hope it wasn't too bad.
Hi Karyn,
Welcome on board indeed. Recently we had some intrusion on our site and had nasty content planted right into our wiki which got us in the hot waters with Google and our ISP at that time. For the time being wiki is disabled until I can figure out how to secure it and make it enjoyable for all involved except the intruders. Meanwhile I must also say the wiki never really took off. Content collaboration was weak at best and demand for it seems to be inexistent. Since it went away you are the first person to ask for it so in all reality we may choose to leave it gone for a while.
Please chime in if you have some good ideas about how to get the wiki off the ground and/or moderate it.
Thanks!
Hi MCK
I'm not bothered about the lack of a wiki, I simply saw the forum heading and went to have a look and found the windows boarded up and weeds growing from the cracks in the walls.
I found all the info I needed in the main forum anyway. Great forum, by the way, though I notice from the posting dates that the post rate has slowed significantly. I guess that's to be expected now Gibson has relegated the DF to the history books.
Hi
Indeed they have. I reckon it's been 6 months now since we had any new issues at least! Kind of reassuring in one way. There was a good post recently about tweaking the eq through chameleon which is the most in a while. I can't wait to try it out but my df is in for repair - broken piezzo I think.

Thanks much for your kind words. We have a cyclic tendency. Post rates go up & down. In my humble opinion this forum is much more than Gibson this or that product but it does take some time to establish a community around the act of making music using guitar and related technology. We often go down a product related lane and there is nothing wrong with that as long as we can bring it back to the core concept which is making music.
I look forward to your contributions. Thanks once again for joining our forum and best of luck with your new DarkFire guitar.

Just able to lurk at the Gibson Forums, - But it seems a new rash of dead Dark Fires are posted over there:
http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/forum/72-dark-fire/
And probably a new generation of potential members for FGN... Perhaps we should do some "promoting" there!
since I'm still very much banned over there - be my guest!

Look closely in their MCK, thats what I've been doing, on all my posts I've done over there.... ;D ;D
I have the thinking the more DarkFire etc owners we have here (as intended) at FGN
The more each & every other person can help each other out.
Anyway there's much, much more, better quality & all round friendly help here at FGN. Quote from: Elantric on February 01, 2011, 08:45:14 PM

Yep you are right E, But.......a lot seem to be 2nd hand, Ebay etc buys !
From sellers that never found us here at FGN & had no clue on what to do & how it worked.
I wish we could do something about the lack of spare parts for these poor folks. I just dont know what. It really worries me.
Perhaps another letter is in order.
Sigh.
We should write a song about it!!!! No more letters ;D
Style = blues ?
No More Letters is a brilliant name for a blues song. Im all over it my friend!
suggestions for the lyrics!!! ;D
V1
Are you out the Henry (da da da da da dum)

We all got a problem
In DF Family
We are not asking for much
you are selling us short
ALL WE NEED IS A BATTERY and some friggin support
Chorus
Cause you gota a problem
DEEP down in your factory
it says Gibson on the headstock
BUT your to blind to see (da da da da da da da da da da da dum)
V2
You band us from your forums
Cause we dare to talk
we bought into your future
But now all we do is walk
Are you really blind

ALL WE WANT IS SOME Machine heads as a reward for your bad QC
Cause you gota a problem
DEEP down in your factory
it says Gibson on the headstock
BUT your to arrogant to see (da da da da da da da da da da da dum)
V3
Now its easy to kick you
Its easy to tease
for 3000 dollars
We expect some fun you see
But when we turn to you
your nowhere to be seen
THANK GOODNESS FOR Tronical, ELANTRIC and M C K!!!!
Cause you gota a problem
DEEP in your DF family
We are really not that happy
you would think......
we are asking for the parrrrrrrrrrts for free (da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da DA!!!!!!)
Love it. I can see this going viral like "United broke my Taylor"!
Haha we should use the tech and bounce the music file around and knock it out from a virtual band!!
Very clever lyrics Elboy ;D from the heart I see !
Love the chorus..
Ending to each verse tastefully put.
Might need to re-name this song......... da da da dumb.
Put me down for the weird synth sounds needed, for that acid effect..... thats what HJ's on isn't it. ;)
Does anyone know where I can buy a Dusk Tiger from? I've been looking around and can't find one anywhere for sale. I know there are still some out there for sale but haven't been able to pin point them. Any one have any suggestions on where there might be one for sale?
thanks guys,
Art
