Is this an audio forum?

[Melisma]

I see a lot of action in the steam vent forum. More than any other category, probably. I also see the same half dozen members being responsible for all posting there and for a good percentage of all other threads.

Is the reason for this in order to game hits to the site, reinforce boring opinions among the like minded to endlessly agree with one another or, to make it nearly impossible for me to investigate actual audio related content without digging through the noise of unrelated and specious posting.

Do you want this on an audio forum?

 

[lovinthehd]

Duh, of course its an audio forum. Is it a typically goofy one with a big circle jerk about snake oil type products or some magical experiences, no, not so much.

Lol, how so, as the forum is a forum, with sub forums for all your particular needs? There is no reason for you to wade through anything and if you're looking for something specific there's a search function.

Yes.

Once you figure out the truth, being like minded with other right minded people follows.

What's specious, Troll? Tell me that, now that you made me look up the word.

You know any other big words?

I think he was probably looking to indulge a psychosis concerning the properties of wire.

 

[CaseyFletcher]

Yes, you are right.

 

[lovinthehd]

I thought the OP might show up, especially if a circle jerk was involved.

 

[highfigh]

Yes.

He could have used spurious......

It looks like I got 4 out the 6 forever members to waste their time commenting. I rest my case.

Anyway, I just noticed the "review" for the hd 490 here. Usually we get a warning that it is a preview of coming attractions with nothing other than a boilerplate cut and paste manufacturers blurb. Now it seems you have the nerve to call the same info an actual review with no sign of even subjective opinions let alone a single measurement. Even Rtings have a real review, probably the last place I would think of going for info other than for a tv.

In all seriousness, you can't be considering in any possible way that what I say is answerable.
If you are saying you did a review then do a real review. This is about as pathetic as it gets.

You're not just a troll, you're an idiot if you can't figure out the article is a preview especially with the disclaimer at the bottom of the article:

"Unless otherwise indicated, this is a preview article for the featured product. A formal review may or may not follow in the future. "

Sennheiser’s new HD 490 PRO ($400) reference studio headphone is an open-backed model designed for audio professio



Now I have to read the fine print to know an advertisement or product placement when I see it?

If these featured articles aren't monetized then just say so.



About me being an idiot, that's neither here nor there. The point is, with very little effort I have managed to goad you into name calling of one of your (hopefully soon ex-) forum members proving you have no sense of professionalism and puts you in good company with the likes of Amir and Eric A., when a difference of opinion crops up those sociopathic tendencies spill over quicker than you have a chance to think twice.

Banning me from the site for how many days is as dumb as it gets. If it isn't obvious what my opinion of you and your forum are you should have had the sense to cancel my membership immediately, unless you have masochistic tendencies, as well and need me to prove this is an on the take audio site.

No, we just like people to dig a bigger hole. I note you have an oversized shovel.

Enjoy a permanent ban from Audioholics forum. You won't be missed.
