Honestly it was mostly just to get the Sturgis-core fags off this forum. At least that was why I was for it. This place was littered daily with people signing up and their first post was asking about Sturgis PODfarm presets, tips on how to recreate Sturgis' Slate Drums sounds, etc. They only signed up to ask shit about him and his work... on the Andy Sneap forum. It only made sense for him to get his own forum so they could do that same shit but it would be in the proper place. I don't blame him for not visiting his own forum very often, or at least not talking on there much... I wouldn't either when it's nothing but/mostly people going "gimme, gimme, gimme."
As for the topic, I think the post could have been worded much differently to get the same message across but in a more professional manner. However, he does put up with a shitload of people poking at him quite frequently, and I can understand his frustration and then needing to voice it.
The thing I have noticed is so many people have said that because he is famous, by that I mean at least amongst other AE's/producers/bands/whatnot, basically he needs to get over it and be more thick skinned. Really easy to say that when 98% of those people saying it aren't famous, never were famous and/or never will be famous. When you are the person going through whatever he is going through and you handle it better, then say something. Until then... learn how to put yourself in the person's shoes even though you have no idea, personally, what it's really like.
TL;DR : fucking pancakes.
