Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?

Not having a yellow badge is, for me, a badge of honor.

Like Elizabeth said only about a hundred active members here. Most won't subscribe me included. Someone puts a post on the insider. 2 hours. 12 hours. 2 days. 3 days. Then you might get a response similar to " Well I haven't personally  listened to the Acme 309 MK II but if it's anything like the Acme 206 from 01 it should be a winner"  All because there would be a few survivors on an island and would have to count on each other to survive. If audiogon wants more cash in their coffers I would rather them place ads between forum posts and increase ad fees. AKA Youtube. With the increased revenue place the moderator in a more aggressive role. Send out forum rules to all members with a check box to acknowledge. If they make me pay to play then I will just sign up to Audiokharma or Audioasylum and hang out there. 

inna" yellow badges will steer clear of threads that I start. I will throw you out right away even if to do it I might have to cancel the entire thread. I hope I made it perfectly clear."

You have made it clear that you are angry, abusive, and arrogant you have no authority over the other contributors to this group we are all free to post, contribute and respond hear as we see fit individually and any punitive, disciplinary or enforcement action is done by this groups' moderators so you would be wise to silence yourself in this regard sorry to tell you but you are like all the rest of us

Pretty clear Inna.

Do not really think too much of a loss tbh.

It also appears that those members who had subscribed to the BlueBook prior to the Insiders Forum being created have been merged into the Insiders.
So they are "joined" and have a yellow badge without joining if you understand.
