What's up with that?

I'm w Mitch2

Because Audiogon is in the process of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. The owners won't admit it, perhaps even don't fully recognize it, but their changes to the site will ultimately spell the end for this community. Soon enough, this thread will be removed, too!

I miss the ability to e-mail other members as well. I've had the pleasure of corresponding with quite a few people here outside of the forum in private. I hope they bring it back but I doubt it. As for paying a yearly membership. I'd consider it but it would depend on what is offered. Ability to contact other members. Discounts on listings/commissions. Access to Bluebook for a couple of months.

Swampwalker nailed it right on the head! Oh for the "old" Audiogon to come back!

I am just surprised this conversation has continued with the changes we all have observed on this site. Input and feedback has seemed to be censored greatly. Google audiogon lately and look down at about the fifth item. :-) I don't hear or read too much positive feedback on the changes, and find that the amount of listings seems fewer for items I am in the market for. Definitely have the same feeling of nostalgia for what was such a vibrant community. I won't even discuss the inability to bookmark items. :-)
Best regards all,
Brian
