Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread.

doors lead to other doors

I just came back to Audiogon after a being gone for a few years. Its a completely different website than it used to be. Like most of the other audio sites, its been overrun by people that hate the concept of high end audio and post for no other reason than to ruin the experience for everyone else. I used to be very active on Audiogon buying, selling and in the discussion forums. I haven't even bothered to look at the classifieds yet. 

I will when I have a question to pose to the forum that wasn’t already answered.

I've found that threads I've started that ask for something specific are pretty well responded to and answered. But ones that are more opinion based or ask for feedback on a certain component inevitably devolve into pissing contests.
