I already had the piercings, and I just decided to see what they looked like now that my hair is a bit longer and I have facial hair. I'm not going to start wearing them around in public.
It's like Adam selling his amps ... no mention of price.
Wow that's cold. Hopefully it stays on.
As stated in another thread, I'm willing to pay for good content
That's actually not a thermometer.....
Nothing for nothing, but I was a little surprised to see him so openly disgruntled and throwing that at people. Especially his comments that seemed like he was insinuating that quite a few members here were leeches and would never actually support the site if it came down to it.
I'm with you. PDF copies of the articles and e-booklets doesn't seem worth it depending on the price. Plus the e-booklets seem geared towards driving advertisement sales and helping people newer to audio stuff at this point.As stated in another thread, I'm willing to pay for good content
Good thing it didn't drop enough for the pipes to freeze ... maybe keep the house a bit warmer for now just in case it goes out again.
You guys have been here a lot longer than me, but this is the point I was trying to make in the other thread, with out members on the forum answering questions and checking in there would be much less traffic, its a handful of guys having some conversations and answering questions when they come up. I check in when I log onto my pc's, ebay, amazon, AH, and a few of my email accounts automatically log on when I turn on my laptop {global internet I take this everywhere I go}... So I check new posts and see what is going on after I check my emails...
I'm quite bored as my wife is away for a while..... she will only be back by next Friday, can't wait till the time when she's backAre people not bored anymore? Geesh.
Internet changes everything and even more the way you pay for services .....

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt in this case; if he didn't want to provide free help to A/V enthusiasts, AH wouldn't exist, period. On the other hand, from his perspective it's probably somewhat irritating to offer free info and have people complain about the advertisers and make accusations that the site is no longer pursuing the truth as per the tagline. As Gene duly pointed out, if he didn't do business with people that made some questionable claims, there would be nobody left to do business with. Heck, even companies like SVS put out ad material like this:
and Outlaw
Here's a little perspective from the other side of the coin on that: from 10/11/2013 to date, this random Sony soundbar article generated >4000 hits from Google searches alone; the $500 receiver roundup generated better than 13,500 hits in that time frame from Google. On the other hand, this isn't even a blip on the radar.
The way I see it, there's no doubt in this case..... but AH's not the best Steve
I can understand that. Then again, I don't have a lot of desire to read an advanced 100 page book on the intricacies of crossover design either. OTOH, stuff like exclusive coupon codes, maybe a monthly drawing for free stuff, a special avatar indicating I'm better than the other riffraff, etc would get my attention. Add a members only jacket, and I'm all in
