So when this place shuts down...

[SocialNumb]

I'll blame the Christians and cry.

lol guys, bunch of trolls suddenly appeared after all these years and you got panic attack and predict some kind of doomsday for this forum. Seriously, trolls are like what, everywhere? Just deal with it, it's normal for the internet forum, nothing to see here, move along!

Other than that do you REALLY think Sneap would close this place just cause few idiots showed up(like they do everywhere and it's perfectly normal)? Do you really think he has no regard for the "good" guys here?

Stop being such hairy vaginas, seriously.

I'd be pretty gutted in all fairness. I like reading the banter people have on here as much as I like the audio related information available.

I think, and bear in mind... this is just my opinion, that there should be a "X" day period before a member can post in this forum. I'm sure I've seen that on other forums, but I don't know how easy it is to setup. That would force new guys into using the search function before posting a question that's been asked 100 times previously.

At the same time, we should go easy on guys who bump threads, unless they say something completely random that was pointless, because at least they are using search. In fact, n00b posts should be answered in the same way. Tell them to use the search. I know it's frustrating, but I also know everyone around is good people. I don't think we should be scaring these n00bs away with "omfg, not again you fuckass etc." Some of them might be able to help us at some point in the future.

Another mod would be a good idea. I know Lasse is around a lot, but that puts a lot of weight on his shoulders. If one of the other well respected guys around here was available to mod, then that would lighten the load on Lasse for sure.

I don't wanna see this place go down the crapper, I've learnt a lot on here and I do try to give stuff back when I feel I can.

If I posted more, I'd probably be considered one of the "idiots" because I know very little about AE. However, that's exactly why I read this forum... because it's loaded with skilled people and I use it as a learning tool. If it goes away, I will find all of you smart people somewhere!

This forum is great because the people that resides at it. Like in real life here you can see all kind of people good ones, idiots, pro and beginners like me. A place like this must continue in time for the good ones, the lovers for learning and the music lovers.
I spended hours and hours learning here since the early days of the forum; although I'm registered member since 2 or 3 years ago; but like I'm from Argentina and my english is not so good I was afraid to be registered and ask some silly questions for audio that no one couldn't answer me. The people in here opened their arms to help me. And although I'm at the end of the world in a development 3rd world country I can speak like anyone in here. That is awsome guys. I'm addicted to this site for the people in it. I wish I will have more knowledge to share with you. But the great thing here is that I feel so good being part of this.

 

[Clockwork]

yeah, there's a homeless fellow right down the corner of my house. I always talk about sidechain compressing on the drum bus with him, right before he takes his nap after the 2nd bottle of red wine.

That guy is my favorite! We talk Re-amping in between pan handling.

Seriously though, aside from the obvious trolls (who end up getting banned anyways) I think the only real problem are the people who just make an account to spam their band or get tips on a mix and then never look back.

 

[coreysMonster]

I'm a member of a lot of other music related sites, including ultimate-guitar and sevenstring, but nowhere else does there exist such an abundance of recording knowledge and talented people. I'd really hate to have to resort to those other sites where people think my demos are "mixed awesomely" just because I know how to use cab impulses and SSD samples. -__-

I much prefer my mixes to either be ignored or torn apart, which always reminds me I'm nowhere near as good as I need to be.

 

[drew_drummer]

oooooo!!! Lets all blow each other!!!!!

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

I got kinda depressed reading this :/ Im so addicted to this forum that i'll probably start numerous personalities and go crazy, named mago and Ermz and speak self monologues about how cool shit you guys make and how i could become like you. Don't let it happen to me

EDIT: And digging sneap work is like having a penis, you should be more grateful to it's presence and it being given to you, but still you ignore it daily and put some trousers on it. Sneap just so great that it would be idiot to EVERY day worship. Still i hear everyday sneap's production and wonder what the fuck's being done with the guy to be so good. Obviously not all about learning, guy just born with the talent.

 

[smy1]

It costs nothing to setup a forum at forum.andysneap.com in case the shutting down is because of costs. The amount of bandwidth used by a forum shouldn't be beyond what a normal hosting plan covers either.

And if it's about idiotnoobs, one can always register www.sneapsters.com and set up an exile forum in case this one shuts down, which I don't foresee in the foreseeable future

 

[Megin]

Lets step down the drama a bit..
But yeah I only have gearslutz for reading about new plugins ("GAME CHANGER !!") and a danish one that is 90% about what to buy to set up a budget home studio.. so yeah useless.

That sounds like a danish version of the swedish studio forum.uke:

I never understood these proclamations of doom when Andy has never given any cause for anyone to think like this.

+1.

Unless something has been mentioned in private, I see no reason to panic.

Has this forum had slightly more bullshit lately? definitely, but I feel that over the course of the years I've been on this forum, the actual useable and informative topics has risen pretty dramatically. I used to be a daily gearslut surfer, and I have no set foot in that place in over a year at least. I find this forum far more useful and fun.

If you all are serious about improving this the solution is pretty simple.

1. Post actual useful topics, unless it's in the off-topic section then go nuts.
2. Respond with something useful in other peoples posts.
3. If you see a post or comment you think is dumb, ignore ir or block that person.

Its really pretty simple.

 

[[UEAK]Clowd]

I've been kind of away from the forums for a couple of days and I don't really know what happened but it would be a shame if this place shut down..

remember when we raised money for jangoux's daughter's surgery?

remember "how do mix drums?"

remember how a lot of us have learned a ridiculous amount of things that we now apply every day of our lives?

etc etc etc...

this place is really great. I dont see what the problem is.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

@everyone:
1. stop posting drama/apocalypse/puberty threads.
2. start using the ignore function.
3. continue making this place the coolest music production related forum.

So you were thinking the same thing?

 

[Soundlurker]

Yes and C_F_H_13 pretty much rephrased what I said
