Vandersteen Forum

@ctsooner feel free to delete my account and all my posts over at the Vandersteen forum - I don't see a way I can do it myself. @atmasphere has always been genuinely additive to the discussions. If the forum is going to devolve to fanboys constantly posting how everyone should upgrade to the Quatros and Richard's word shall not be questioned, then I'm out.

Hey Guys,

Ralph's comments has nothing to do with anything.

To post you have to be a Vandersteen speaker owner.

The rules are specific to share experiences with each other.

Board Rules state “the only true rule is to not be an antagonist.”

Look, anyone can run their forum however they see fit. I don’t begrudge that. But we all know the quality of the forums are directly proportional to the quality of the contributions. Not the quantity of contributions. Not shilling. Not trolling. Not advertising. Not antagonizing. Not hype. Not hyperbole.
 

Our community is becoming short on insights, experience, expertise and engagement. There are still a few trusted resources around, @audioconnection being one. @atmasphere being another. I like to hear their voices (before, like the names many of us can still recall, disengage, die, or become bored attempting to answer the same questions over and over). We kinda need to hear their voices.

Silence at your own peril.

@nrenter ​​​​@rpeluso let’s not jump the gun here.
we all share the hobby and love.
And I would not be surprised if Ralph gets unbanned.

It is not like he is spruicking his gear in an underhanded way there, and while most Vandy owners like more traditional topologies, I know at least a few are interested in Class-D.

Well put. In an era of internet warriors and “experts” it is good to have the inputs of true experts in their fields.

Let’s let this play out and maintain some calm…
Ralph and Pete are both on the gentlemanly end of the spectrum, let’s give it some time.
