System Pictures & a kind of "dating service"

I must say I really like the new look and the thread previews and lists much better than the old one. I especially like the system preview pictures. It really gets me drooling in some cases. There are so many systems I would love to be able to hear after seeing the pictures.

If only there were some way to start a "dating service" of sorts here at the site, where someone could post a listening event and invite others in their area to come and give a listen to their systems. I know there are clubs in many areas where people circulate to different houses, but not everyone belongs to a club or has one in their area.

Just a thought, what do you think?

Enjoy,
Bob

When you go here ...

http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl

And click on "Recent Discourse" for any of the time periods you are taken to a listing of recent and older threads. They now show previews of what is being discussed, including recent postings to that thread.

There are also system listings that now whow thumbnail pictures of the systems themselves.

Pretty cool - this is new in the last month or so.

Enjoy,
Bob

Jere's another thought that may help you understand this concept I'm proposing. For the most part we see the same people posting on these forums. We see the same faces at our local audio get-togethers. That's great, and I love to share this hobby with each of you. But there are more audiophiles out there who do not necessarily participate at the same level, if at all. How can we bring them into the fold in a way that they are comfortable with? I think one way is to let them show off their own systems in a small group setting, under circumstances that they can control. Or perhaps invite them over to a regular member's place where their face can become known.

So, how can we help spread the word? Praise the lord (not sure if that is Krell, Levinson, or a slew of others, but you get my point).

Enjoy,
Bob
