PSR Tutorial Forum is Now Back to Life!

[Alex Mercer]

Dear Former and new Members of the PSR Tutorial Forum,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that we announce the complete restoration of the PSR Tutorial Forum, bringing back over two decades of invaluable content and contributions from our vibrant community. After a significant technical issue that led to the forum's closure, we have worked tirelessly to not only fix the problem but also to update the forum's design and ensure it remains a reliable platform for all members.

We are pleased to inform you that, in addition to resolving the technical challenges, the forum has been updated with a modern, mobile-friendly design to enhance usability and overall experience across all devices.

Most importantly, all previous content was restored, including:

• Old forum topics, posts, and attachments: Every discussion, guide, and resource has been fully restored.
• User database: All member accounts, settings, and avatars have been preserved and restored.

IMPORTANT! The PSR Tutorial Forum will remain a non-commercial platform, just as it always has been. We are committed to preserving the core principles and features that have defined the forum over the years—maintaining the same friendly, welcoming, and helpful atmosphere that has kept members engaged for so long. Our aim is to ensure the forum continues to serve its valued members for many more years, building upon the rich history and knowledge it has accumulated over the past two decades.

We've noticed discussions on various platforms suggesting that we may shift the forum toward commercial purposes. While we respect diverse viewpoints, we want to officially clarify: we have no plans to commercialize the forum. Like all of you, we are passionate Yamaha keyboard players and musicians, and any constructive feedback helps us make continuous improvements.

Our team consists of dedicated Yamaha keyboard enthusiasts, just like Joe Waters and Roger Brenizer, who have long been committed to fostering a supportive and engaging community. We also have a network of professionals and moderators who are always ready to provide assistance free of charge. In addition to the forum, we manage several large Facebook groups with over 40,000 Yamaha keyboard fans.

To cover the necessary costs of running the forum, you may occasionally see small advertisements. This is a standard practice across all similar platforms. These ads are strictly to sustain the platform and should not be seen as a move toward commercialization. Maintaining such a large project requires significant financial resources to ensure smooth operation. Rest assured, selling a few more or fewer styles is not what drives us—our focus is on serving the community. Additionally, I'd like to let you know that PsrStyles.com offers a professional quality of free styles available for download, allowing you to enjoy them at no cost. Everything we do is for you, and we deeply respect all musicians, without exception.
Additionally, if any of you are interested in supporting the forum and becoming a sponsor, we would always welcome such proposals. Your contributions can help us maintain and enhance this space for everyone.

While PSR Tutorial is now under the ownership of PsrStyles.com, it's important to understand that PsrTutorial.com and PsrStyles.com are separate projects with distinct roles in the online space. Our primary goal is to unite Yamaha keyboard enthusiasts from around the world on a single platform. Fragmenting the community across different forums is not in the best interest of the community as a whole.

We are aware that some platforms may attempt to take advantage of the current transition by encouraging new members through criticism of our efforts. While this may seem like a clever tactic, we believe it's counterproductive. Our mission is not about financial gain but about creating a unified space for musicians to connect, learn, and grow.

We believe it's valuable for people to share knowledge and communicate across various platforms to broaden the exchange of information. However, undermining colleagues and spreading negativity does not contribute to the growth of any community. Remember: any constructive feedback helps us make continuous improvements.

We remain open to constructive dialogue and collaboration with any individual or organization. Our policy is clear: we do not see others as competitors but rather as fellow enthusiasts who share a love for Yamaha keyboards and music.

Ultimately, the choice of platform is yours. We are always open to welcoming Yamaha keyboard lovers who wish to join our friendly, inclusive community.
Special Thanks to Our Former Administrators! and Members
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to Joe Waters and Roger Brenizer, who have diligently managed and nurtured this forum for the past twenty years. Their dedication has created one of the most respected resources for Yamaha Keyboards users worldwide. Without their tireless effort, this community would not be what it is today.
While they are stepping down from their administrative roles, but hope that both Joe Waters and Roger Brenizer will continue to stay with us as valued members of the forum, now contributing as regular users. Their presence will remain an important part of our community.

Also, to all Former Members who has contributed to the PSR Tutorial Forum over the years, we extend our deepest gratitude. It is your participation and passion that make this community special. We also sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the downtime may have caused and appreciate your patience throughout this process.

I would like to inform everyone that PSR Tutorial Forum and PSR Tutorial website is now officially belongs to the company PsrStyles.com. Joe Waters has officially handed over the original PSR Tutorial Forum and PSR Tutorial website to PsrStyles.com, ensuring its future growth and success.

My name is Alex Mercer, and I am one of the new administrators of the PSR Tutorial Forum. I am honored, along with my colleagues, to take on the responsibility of maintaining and managing the forum.
