Hello all,
We all know the new forum sucks, I get it and so does everyone else.
I'm curious on how many of us are left.

I am an oldie, but not one to give a lot of advise, mostly here to learn. Seems that is a thing of the past now???

New members aren't finding the forum, so no questions are being asked. A lot of senior members enjoyed helping those with questions about audio. Since the front page of recent discussions takes a full day to rotate, a simple check is all it takes to find out that this place is dead.....HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

So sad, used to be the greatest forum out there. I have learned a lot here in the past. Not sure what the future holds for us now.Pio Elete Pro 520

I find the recent discussions a PITA to deal with...... It bothers me I see threads like 5 pages back that say "1 New Post".
If I havent looked at that thread ever, why would I care if there are new posts?
I will stick around here, but I've been finding myself spending less time here, and I recently quit AVS almost entirely.

The shoutbox is nice, and "IF" you enjoy political and gun talk, we have it over there, but sectioned off so you have to WANT to see it.

I don't get into political too much, just get upset. I do have guns though!!!

This place really has become quite a ghost town. I don't post nearly as often as I once did, but I would still poke my head in now and then to see what was happening. Anymore there is next to nothing to see. Sad really.HT

I'm 61 and have been a member since (I think) the mid 2000's
Had not been very active until just the last couple of years. -
well, according to the stats on this forum, I've been here since June 2004.
-
I think June of 2004 predates the interweb.....I call foul!!!Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!
-
Its been a long time since I checked in. Got to say finding this new forum wasn't easy. But I did find it. Glad to see some of you are still here. And I am still collecting the vintage Polks. Although I did stray and picked up a pair of caver al-3 plus's. And a carver m500t amp to drive them."Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups":rolleyes:

Naaaaw... we had teh analog interwebs back then. Al Gore was working on teh digital webs with DARPA, of course... but they had only progressed to using digital "zeros" (they didn't have "ones" yet), so the programming was kind of tedious.I think June of 2004 predates the interweb.....I call foul!!!
-
I am glad I found the forum a couple of years ago. Got some good info, made a few cool friends, but I do see some of the problems with the new format. I'm not one to complain, but looking back for information from older threads seems to only give me bits and pieces and not the whole answers?? I sure hope someone is working to get those older threads back in the mix as well as all that great info on vintage polk speakers.....the reason I came here in the first place."if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!
***************************** -
What is considered 'older'??
-
Barely here...sad for sure
-
I've been around for 5 years, if that counts and I'm still here."Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light
a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." -
they took a perfectly good forum and ruined it. I am assuming it was the work of some new hire who was out to make a name for himself/herself and had no idea of the history of Polk.
-
I hit this place up...despite the change...but I'll tell you what I miss.....The occasion when one member has posted something that doesn't agree with another...and a scathing attack begins....how it begins to pile up.....now that was entertaining....
