Well that is good to know that things will not change around here. I guess the Hub will just provide a way for us to get other information and updates that we might need. Sounds good.
AudiogoN introduces ''The Hub''
We get it. You only hear from us when it's bad news. We know the feeling: an email, a letter, a phone call that prompts the response: "What do THEY want??" We get it. We just don't want THAT to be your reaction when you hear from us at Audiogon. Somewhere along the way we went from being the college-kid with the bitchinest stereo in the dorm, to being the old guy screaming, "TURN THAT THING DOWN!"
... and we SO don't want to be like that. Really, we LOVE Urge Overkill!
Things change: you get married, you have kids, you switch from tubes to Class-D...but that doesn't mean you can't still have fun. We know that we started the Gon in order to have fun (and maybe, ahem, make a little money), but somewhere along the line it got SO big that someone had to be the cop. Imagine our surprise when we realized that WE were going to have to be the cop. Bummer. So: consider this the voice of the Good Cop. Y'know, the one who jumps your car when your battery dies, and buys you doughnuts. Not the one who gives you a $600 ticket for having a license-plate light out.
We want you to know what's going on in the neighborhood. And it's a BIG FREAKIN' neighborhood. The worlds of music and audio, the 10,000 or so ads we run every day, all those people building cool things all over the world - that's what we're going to talk about. We'll tell you about new features on the Gon (and there are going to be a LOT of those) and bring you industry news, maybe even a history lesson or two. But don't worry, you won't have to memorize dates. We promise. It will resemble a blog, where each blog entry will have a discussion thread in the forums for your comments and questions.
We're going to call this The Hub. Maybe a little presumptuous saying we're at the center of everything, but doesn't being the highest-ranked audio website in the world entitle us to a little bit of an ego? No? Oh, well. We'll try to keep it under check. But we're still going to talk about the world of audio, and the world of Audiogon, every day during the week if our fingers don't burst into flames, or our heads explode. And with a little luck you'll like us ... REALLY like us.
Cheers.
