[quote=Herman10]Just a free website only for a Katana forum with a download section would be nice.
Even a free to use website requires that someone pays to host it & spends time & effort to maintain it.
But there are options like this that exist. The Gear Page is a great forum with a lot of user interaction, info about a wide variety of topics; not just gear, but also playing ideas, technique, etc. And it is also free to get an account & use most of the site. I've found it an incredible resource & am a paying member. I pay a small yearly fee just to help keep it going because I get so much value from it.
In addtion, Boss maintains a great site with tons of useful free to download patches for their gear. I've used it a couple of times & it's well maintained & organized to my knowledge.
