Why aren't the older members still active ?


Just curious who is still very active from 2000 and earlier
on this site? I don't get on very often. I guess I have no opinions or my interest lies elsewhere. I remember in the early 2000s there seemed more interesting and heated topics then now. I cannot even get a rise out of anybody for saying "the Beatles where the worse group ever". I think somebody replied " I am a moron" without stating why he thought they were good. I started a thread in Music: Garage Band Hangover, about a website called Garage Hangover, but like 2 people responded. Some of my favs haven't been on in 3 even 5 years. So why is that?

Hi. I am active since 2002. I think, there are still some interesting threads and posts but not many. And you are right. I just said that Pink Floyd's DSOTM is the most overrated album and that they cannot sing, and no-one reacted. Also, I started a thread about matching cartridge and speakers, and except one person and two imbiciles nobody seems to be interested. And when I say that if you want to have your cartridge perfectly aligned do it by ear, there is not much enthusiasm. And I think that's because many audiophiles have no patience or/and good hearing. But overall it is still not too bad.
Yes, cencorship gets on my nerves too. Global fear and paranoia show themselves here as well.
Wrong. There is a lot of moderately priced gear even new. But if you are serious about the sound quality you should be prepared to spend a few thousands on stereo. And if someone is just a music lover, this forum is not for those.
Having said that, a few thousands even for used equipment won't buy anything spectacular nor should it.
Also, some audiophiles who have $100k-$200k systems spent decades to get where they are now and save on many other things. They are not rich.
In addition, as an example, if you live in Manhattan you don't need a car so you can spend usual car dollars on stereo.
