Hey guys,

I'm incredibly happy to announce that we are now entering Phase II of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy Community!

In Phase I, I focused intensely on building the global foundation—the underlying authority and technical resilience needed to make our content matter worldwide. I worked hard over the past months to ensure this website and this community would become a recognized global authority in the eyes of search engines.

It has worked spectacularly.

As a direct result, any community post, cool guitar-related comment, or contribution to a tutorial will now be indexed and appear in Google search results in a timeframe of hours, not weeks.

This is a massive win! It means your contributions matter now more than ever. We can collectively influence the worldwide guitar community, and your voice will gain unprecedented visibility.

As a small extra validation—we recently crossed the mark of 1,000 visitors per day. These are largely AI training bots and strategic data collectors. They are actively trying to learn from the unique knowledge being shared right here. This is the ultimate proof: The world's most advanced AI systems now consider our community a vital resource.

So if you feel like being part of this cool, unique, and highly valuable community, please jump in! I did the heavy lifting to ensure your work and comments get maximum exposure and contribute to the global conversation. Let's make some noise!

As a result of this I needed to remove the very first spam entries here from the Guitar Academy. That's basicly a good sign and shows the rising relevance of the Guitar Academy but might be forced to change a few things in the near future.

One messure which comes to my mind that only Premium Members are allowed to post new topics or reply to topics. We will see how it develops. If it stays moderate with the spam then i'll keep it this way. I am really tired of technical background work since August.

But I want to share a great news :

My latest Tutorial https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/topic/3415-easy-creative-rock-lead-guitar-tricks/ has ranked no 2 beside GuitarTricks.com - this is the marketleader and I was an instructor there back from 2006-2012. I left them because I wanted to go my own ways.

Ok the next spammer came here - I will change the system in the next few days that only Premium Members in fact can anwser any posts or open any post. I can not contoll every few hours if a new spammer came to the website.

I found a simple solution for our task here :

I have blocked now the free entry of the clubs. New members need to get invited by the Admin ( me ) - so it will be like this for the moment. Any new member who upgraded to premium membership will get invited personally by me to join the students forum. If the membership expires does not matter but with a purchased premium membership a member has already proven to be a serious contributor to the community and this will keep spammers outside.

If the spamming starts in the replies of any topic I will make this feature available only for premium members.

That's overall the easiest way to adress this current new problem of a lot of traffic but also a lot of AI bots and spammers.
