You know those forum members...

I'm just glad we don't have the bad re-sellers suggesting only things they have in stock, and a group of seasoned guys that weed out the hype...

I think I can speak for others and say that the whole belligerent/aggressive thing will be strongly discouraged here. And: welcome!

Thank you! I'm so glad to be here.
I am, by nature, an enthusiastic and earnest person. Those very 2 qualities seem to make a person a target for holier than thou negative attacks on some audio forums. It's so weird to me. I wonder how that whole attitude started? It's as if its considered the proper way to communicate when discussing recording and recording equipment.
It's a bummer. I'm glad it's gonna be discouraged here...it totally works against the proliferation of good information and free exchange of ideas.
Feels like football practice or something.

You get that many and you'll be up to your ass in bullshit same as they are now.

This is a rethorical question, right?

After reaching the 10,000 mark i guess it is time to hide the board from google via robots.txt.
Or suddenly switch to new servers and domains. Without announcement.

Nice board until now. Rapidly growing, but not too fast.
Maybe we have a few years before the obvious becomes standard:
"I never heard of this brand, so it must be complete rubbish", "All my U47s sound the same, and your mics suck by nature.", "brand xxx converters are toys.", "using a brand xxx external clock is better for tracking than AD internal clock" (i love this one every time... ), "your arguments are not valid because i am 20 years older / i got a Grammy on my desk / 23 platinum records at the wall / 26,879 'quality' posts here / am a moderator / have a bad day / am out of cigarettes / drink too much while posting / know more funny names than you / have german broadcast stuff and live in the US (lol) / use cable that is blessed by quantum physics witches in a full moon night / painted all opamps in my studio with C37 / sell CD-demagnetizers and they work / am always 2x more a loudmouth than you / throw 10,000$ bets at you to make you shut up and call this integrity / failed in math/physics/good behaviour/school/life / live in the net and my pizza is late / love to bash newbies / nobody has a reputation but me / perfectioned my rudeness over many years / did not find my wlan cable.........."
etc. pp.


Hehehe.
Best regards,

PS: AND YES THIS IS THE WRONG SECTION FOR THIS THREAD, CALL THE SECRET FORUM POLICE
***************BAN HIM, BAN HIM, BAN HIM ********** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(would he be the first ban? )

As the population grows there will be a certain percentage of pricks, even here. Its a tough one to manage because, if JohnKenn starts banning them, it may contradict the original spirit of this site. Lets enjoy it while we can and hope they don't find us. Loving the tone so far and the level of talent/experience to member ratio is off the charts. "I'm not worthy" but I appreciate being able to learn from the pros here with no tude.

I'm sure we could all make a list of members we didn't like. I'm sure even I would be on some people's lists, it doesn't really bother me if someone is an ass, but when they go on and on with such authority behind a fake name and ZERO work that person deserves a kick in the balls. Won't name anyone and it's not like the majority is like that.

You could purchase a domain name from Godaddy and redirect it here.

You should get in the Google Search . 

Yeah theres a chance of getting bad members , but also alot of good ones too . 

You carry all the best 14 brands?
WOW, COOL! Some friends of mine want to order a few brand new Siemens Sitral, Tonographie Apparatebau and WSW pres!
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT.

(Did i see Peluso on the list? Really? Hm....well,...in this case....i have to check back with my friends...i guess...)

DOOOOD THOSE OTHER BRANDS AREN'T THE BEST.

Can we get WAR over here.

War has chosen not to participate.
