Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs?

I personally like the manufacturers presence at that site. Using sports parlance, I would prefer to call the enthusiasts there "homers" rather than trolls.

so good was wondering do you go by Flintstone at Audiocircle ?

You are correct in your observation above Audiocircle is mostly manufacturers and moderators

Good guys however different than here

I find the Circles to be just as you perceive, Dave. I have never learned anything of use over there, because I don't have any interest in their pet products. The whole atmosphere is way to up-tilt cigar in the face clubby to me.

Yes, I go by flintstone over there Bluemike. Troll may have not been the correct word to use as Wellfed pointed out..."homers" works.

I'm not saying that the people over there are bad...or the manufacturers. It does strike me at times that the manufacturers have very strong control over the threads.

I saw a thread over there which stated that if you got into it with one of the Manufacturers he had the power to ban you from the Audiocircle forum...one of the manufacturers did confirm this in that thread so it must be true.

That said, I still visit the site and do post although I'm slowly starting to wonder about the place...I kind of migrated from the old site that closed down (can't recall it's name at the moment) to Audiocircle when it opened...have not posted a whole lot there though.

Thats funny,(pet products)...it does seem outside products are not often the subject of the day although they do come up from time to time....the Belles 350A not long ago was one.
