Marcus,
I read through almost all of your articles here today and could not locate on the internet a couple of the resources you mentioned. I was specifically trying to find the following:
1. "Brian Guenther, a well respected retailer, runs an online forum called the GSRF (GameStore Resource Forum) which is designed to assist people in the prep phase, and early stages of opening their own game store. This forum offers advice for things ranging from picking a retail location, to picking a distributor, to choosing inventory that will work for them. Potential, and new owners, of retail stores can get advice from a couple dozen experienced retailers. It is simply the best resource available to a new, or potential, game store owner."
I found a reference to Brian and his store in Washington state (http://www.diversifiedgames.com/), but could not locate the GSRF forum.
2. "My own forum, TitanGames Insider, which is a forum for anyone interested in games, but also geared for the person thinking of becoming a games retailer."
I looked through your entire website and could not find any mention of or links to your forum.
These both sounded like excellent resources of information for people who were interested in, or aspired to, one day open their own shop. Are these resources still available, and if so, could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
