Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?

tomcy6-

SH Forums is excellent for musical info, no doubt. Unfortunately, it is very heavily moderated ( read: communist), does not respect a difference of opinion and is easy to get "banned".  I hope to meet SH, in person, someday and give him a shift kick...

Uh, The Daily Audiophile is not a catch-all of audio forums.  It's simply a listing of recent articles published on the various web sites.  

tomcy6, wouldn't do without 545+ pg. dissections of the latest pressings AND still like it here!

Happy Listening!

If there is less life in audio forums these days, it's because of the incessant close minded attacks and demands for "proof" when someone posts about improved sonics when trying out a new…anything.  

This forum doesn't have these hall monitors to the same level as many forums out there, but one such forum, Audioholics, is a shell of its former self.  

Maybe there's a very simple reason for the apparent decrease in active "audiophile forum participation."  Our lives are a lot busier now, and we are using our computers and other "devices" (iPhones, iPads, Kindles, etc.) for far more activities than we were even a few years ago. So, .... when we finally have free time and want to relax, we're probably listening to music instead of hammering away on our computer keyboards.  That's what's been happening with me.  With so much daily "computer related activity," I'm finding myself spending my treasured free time listening to music, and not spending anywhere as much time on Audiogon as I used to.
