I still try to check the forum at least once a week, but I never felt like the old version wasn't good/new enough.

Still here! I check in once or twice per week. Between the new forum format and the lack of interesting posts, it just doesn't seem like CP is as useful as it used to be. Good to know all the old members are still around, someday I hope to be one of you

From 2001 era. Didn't post a lot but appreciated the advice. New forum format is pretty hard on the eyes and it seems Polk is moving away from it's core fan base.Polk Rt800i -Fronts

Bet you the kid is clueless about it.

Hmmmm,, did the person that coined that phrase host a Polkfest?
JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut) -
Nope.

For some reason I was thinking TroyD,,,,but now that I think about it,,,does the guys hair look like it is standing still even when he is moving lightening fast?JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

Nope. Not even close.

That's funny. I have a Hispanic girl that works for me and she said that same phrase.

Ugh.
IIRC, it was PETERNG.
Who is currently banned for some reason and I'm not sure why. He'd get into arguments and such but so did everyone else. He was a nice guy otherwise.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Peter Ng indeed. See if it rings a bell with the kid.
-
The kid claims he was here for more than a decade. It was more like a year or two.

Well I'm back and I'm not going anywhere, I'm gonna stick it out until people comeback or we will build a new club, Who's with me?

Who was here for more than a decade? PETERNG?
He was here maybe 5 or 6 years tops. He was super active for like 2 years and then petered off for a while (heh. petered). He started getting active after he got booted from another audio nerd site.
There's not that many people here that have been around a decade or more and are still active.
I wonder how many people remember when Club Polk first started in 1997 and you needed a Polk Audio product serial number to actually get in to Club Polk?

I used the number off my Polk Audio 5" EX Series 2 EX501a's to sign up.

Yeah, that's some Polk Audio nerd cred right there.

I signed up in '97 but it was deader than a door nail and kept changing every few days. It must have stabilized some time in '98 'cause it exploded in activity in like March of '99. But I was too busy trying to graduate to notice.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

I joined in 2009, but was lurking here every so often since around 2004.

Well -- I know I've reiterated this ad nauseum but I've owned a pair of Model 7As since I bought 'em, as demonstrators, at Soundscape in Baltimore in 1978. How long have I been here? I dunno... a while...

Yup, but they actually started as Park Radio Downtown. In the 1970s, when I was at JHU, the downtown store was still open... my hifi chums & I knew the Dorsey brothers (John, Big Ed, and Richard) well. Much beer was consumed (and occasionally other things) and much fine music listened to there over many years.
-
Huh. I thought that they'd vacated the W. North Avenue near Park in 1975. I guess their web page needs to be edited. I used to hang at Peabody and the MD. Institute Of Art back in the late 60's, LOTS of fun in Bawlmer ! Hon !

umm... I think I need a drink of water...

Is that all? I could use a complete dunking right now.

I'm not an old guy but not newbie either. I learned a lot on here but like most I just turn in weekly.

Joined August 2004 after acquiring my first SDA's. Lots of great members here who helped me immensely in my journey down the rabbit hole. I still check in occasionally and read more than comment. Always something interesting here!
Happy holidays!
