Ya know Ive been hanging around and posting on several forums over the years and Ive come to the conclsuion they all suck.

Either theyre like MB Quart's forum where you have a post every 4 days or theyre like Carsound's forum where everything you post gets you slammed or is outright ignored.

Here, everybody for the most part gets along and knows what theyre talking about and we can have a long detailed converstaion without anybody getting pissed and throwing around a lot of attitude and is very informing and stimulating intellectually or we can have a brief discussion on how best to make love to Troy! I would dare say this is the best forum on the internet.

Not only can you learn a lot on here but you actually enjoy posting here. So much so I post 10-15 times a day. Hell Im on vacation right now out at my Mom's in Texas but yet I still find time to come here and hang.

I hope it stays like this around here for a long time. Viva La Club Polk!

    I've been on the internet since there was an internet, and have been a member of tons of forums---the Polk forum is by far the best I've ever been involved with; though some motorcycle forums come close.

    I actually came here (I think about a year ago), because I was in the market for some new speakers. I hadn't thought about Polk for a long time--though I have owned 3 different models. I've been here ever since. I finally got "legitimate" this year with my XM tuner purchase, but like I said, I'm a Polk Audio legacy member by default--especially since I had Polk's before many of you were born...LOL

    It's a great forum, no doubt, and I WILL make one (or more) of these Polk blow-outs.

    I concur. I visit about 7 forums or so, and this is by far my favorite. A much closer group, with a lot of activity from fewer overall members.

    I love this place...:p

    I became a member over the holidays after breaking my leg on my latest toy...a yz400f dirt bike..(what a monster)(oops,sorry)

    Now it`s a fast jet boat...hopefully I won`t go from my leg to my neck..!!

    Anyway I ordered some new grills for my RT2000i`s, and was asked if I was a member of the forum...

    I was shortly after that...

    I have met some great people..
    learned a lot, and still do on a daily basis..
    Got some great advise..and some outstanding gear ...all with the help of this forum, and the people in it..

    It`s the only forum I have ever participated (sp?) in, and see no reason to go anywere else..

    My thanks and Respect go out to Doro,F1,Russman,Early,Dragon , sid the kid,shack CJR, and everybody else that would take all night to list...you to blue...!!

    I would like to someday come face to face with Mr Grand...
    He is solid character that is not all to common, seems to have a lot of honor and a great sense of humor..( don`t stab me George!)

    I hope I one day get to meet all the people I enteract with someday..
    I feel I already know most of you..

    Club Polk reminds me a lot of the people that I grew up with. You know, the type that would play tackle football all day in 95 degree heat and drink water straight from the hosepipe attached to the side of the house.

    Just good ole people. Most are very willing to help others out here and just a solid group of people.

    Yeah I drive on the sidewalk sometimes too like the rest of you. My excuse is that I'm very happy with my ear candy so I have one less gripe in life.

    Doro, sometimes you worry me a great deal!:D

    I am impressed beyond words how attentive and engaging the Polk staff is to their customers!

    When I read that some of you have been known to attend an informal gathering at someones house & bring goodies with you for people to check out, I was shocked! I have never heard of any company going to those lengths. I think it's outstanding!

    It is the quality of your products and the attention given to your customers that will always ensure that I will always have Polk speakers in my audio system!

    You haven't been around long enough to witness the countless battles that went on in here. We are all just tired of fighting with each other and found some king of peace.

    This is a good forum with many good members. I enjoy coming in here and talking with alot of you. Where else can you find people as sick as yourself???

    Right back atcha!!!

    Thank you Sid. Growing up as the only girl with 2 brothers & a dad I learned pretty quickly how to hold my own around guys.

    Anyone who annoys me gets ignored. Aggravate me too much & I call my brother to help me!

    Mess with my little brothers (one of whom is Henry) & you DIE!!!

    Other than that, all is good & this forum is the best!:)
