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?

So Shadone, where is everybody going now for fun audiophile posts without it being boring trite and repetitive all the time?

I still lurk to help with music but even then I find so many folks don't really want the music so much as they just want great sounds on their newly acquired set up to validate their purchase. I pass on these inquiries as well as most equipment oriented posts - it is just pointless.

I will venture out on set up issues on occasions when I think it will be helpful. I doubt that I have posted over a dozen times in the past year.

The more I learn the less I have to say, or so it seems. Aside from that who wants to correspond with a newbee anyway. :-)

My point is, so many times when a discussion gets started someone comes in and announces that there are no differences between cables, amps, whatever. Then they say that there is no science behind these supposed differences so show me the proof. Then the discussion usually get nasty.

This gets old and tiresome after a while. Why do these people participate at all? I don't get it.

Maybe some old timers decided it just wasn't worth the trouble wading through the crap of what could otherwise have been a reasonable, sane conversation.

To quote Albertporter "Many people are fighting to stay alive financially". This drop off causes others to drop off because they have little in common with what's left.
