Maybe every moderator should put a sticky at the top of each forum stateing "USE WISELY" and "NOT Responsble for ANY STUPID Decisions Based On Information Within".
In closing I say "Hat's Off and All Should Bow Toward's London to Jules and His Splendid Creation", regards ,,deda,,

The problem is I remember, as I assume you do being around in 2005, what it used to be like. There was always a dynamic of internet BS but this place has become a wh@rehouse and MOST of the peoples opinions that I respect and got me here to begin with... are gone.
So though I agree that Jules had created an amazing place, its is falling to the ignorant masses and its popularity will be its own demise as far as legitimacy goes. I used to read with interest, now mostly I can't believe how many people are misrepresenting themselves, their knowledge and their studio...
Everyone has to start somewhere but the problem is this forum used to NOT be gorged with beginners, prosumers and gearpimps galore. They were always here, but it was more 50/50... Now its 95/5.
Ive also seen threads and posts disappear because they don't help sales of certain manufacturers... The money value of this site has killed its legitimacy. Everytime I ask a real question that you would have to have some knowledge to answer, no or minimal responses but if I buy a Pacifica and want to hear what serial numbers other owners have, 100 people will unrack their preamps to join the club...
This place is now one kick away from Harmony-Central...
