I agree Amir. Besides, there are zillions of computer sites from the World Wide Web...and about Windows 10.
...I am slowly but surely adapting to this new concept here. It's a good trampoline, positive for the future today.

we have a nice thing here, audio, humour and art/tv/film/music.. culture.

job done.

One of the goals that I artificially set for the forum is to have very few forums. Most people arrive here either by google search which takes them directly to a thread, or by clicking New Posts. In neither case do they see the forum names, etc. And having a short home page is more friendly than one that is many pages long.

What I can do is make a catch all forum and these topics can do there.

Open to ideas.

Hardware
Software [because of digital]
Music
Other
Boxing Ring [where no one gets banned & fights are interesting {banning is allowed for strong dishonesty}. Fights eventually happen, and this will keep it from disrupting the other forums]

Only 5 main forums

Now that is minimalism! I should say that we do need some keywords there to attract members that search for topics like DAC, etc.

On the topic of fighting, how about a taboo idea: allowing talk of politics! I have always found it educational around election time to see the arguments on both sides. I have also seen the dark side of it making people upset. But maybe we find people who become unhappy easily that way .

What say you? Too risky?

Not risky at all.
Now you have set-up a brilliant combination for a Forum: "Politics & The Boxing Ring & Some Alley Fights"
Once again, No Banning of members inside this forum EXCEPT for strong dishonesty.

barber shop rules amir! nothing more or less is needed imo. a boxing forum to talk about boxing would be epic for me but not audio related. politics could be ok with the small group you have now but going forward its risky.

you wont have any issues with talking politics with me, but i dont really want to come face to face with fascists or donald trump voters on this forum. mind you in the area of politics your country needs to have a serious talk with itself so maybe this forum can help

if it gets out of hand i will bombard the thread with photos of naked men..

For straight guys like me, that is the strongest admonishment there is.

IMHO Way too risky, guaranteed to get very ugly fast.

I'm in for everything there is in the world; I mean what you guys want is what I want too.
...Autumn leaves, spring flowers, the race for the next presidency of the United States of America, Donald who cannot fire anyone anymore, a free place to express our opinions without fear of getting spanked by the youngest generation, on all subjects forum with self-coordination; brief a place where it feels good and we're happy to live on our beautiful planet and talk about our interests related to life, science, audio, and all that jazz. ...With pictures, videos, graphs, measurements, in depth analysis, in the search for universal peace and freedom and happiness.
And if it sounds good, and that it measures good too, how can it be less than very good.

Plus, all info we share is free for anyone and everyone to use. No cover charge, not surtax, totally all free.

 

[amirm]

OK no politics .

 

[NorthSky]

You're the boss; this site is called: www.audiosciencereview.com

There ain't much audio and science in politics.

One thing I've noticed is when you click on "New posts" it seems to just go to the beginning of select threads. If you want the same "New posts" list like in WBF that actually shows all of the posts, you must click "recent posts" on the right after clicking on "new posts" . Could you make it default to that so it's the same as WBF?

Amir, Let me know if you want to borrow my Quad 50 and I'll tow it over for ya.

Lol, Sal & Mike, this ain't it; it's probably just a software glitch.

Gosh I was watching a movie then and went to sleep. Wish I was up to catch and report it.

Unfortunately without buying some more software there is not much we can do about this. There are entities attacking our site as they do others from time to time. Hopefully they get tired of it and move on. Please keep reporting them though including the exact error message (copy and past it).
