I’m an HFS refugee, myself albeit via a long route. If anyone wants to come here to talk about hifi, let them come. If they want to come and talk about other forum personas or bring conflict here, we can’t accommodate that.
NVA discussion is certainly welcome, as is discussion of all and any hifi.

Oh sorry they don't like bad language do they?
Admin: An oblique reference, I know, but it seems to ah e opened the door to further posts about other forum personas, so I wanted to highlight it,

When someone appears to be having a Sh#t in the corner of the room, we stop and think about whether it's a good idea... ...elsewhere, they turn it into a 3 word thread. |

It's best to be a forum tart. Join the lot. Then if one forum gets a bit tedious/shouty/over-regulated, just slide over to one of the other half-dozen for a while. Of course, if you're a serial bannee this might be more tricky to manage.

There's no place for censorship in art and creative expression. As for grown men getting an attack of the vapours over some swearing - please! Some people have led very sheltered lives it seems. And take themselves far too seriously. |

That has nothing to do with art and creative expression. But then you knew that already.

Please keep discussion of other forum personas and their admin decisions where they belong.....on the forum concerned. Oliver and I are simply not interested in hosting it here.
The OP itself was questionable as it opened the door to further comment, but I left it because I wanted to reiterate that NVA discussion is welcome here, as is discussion of any gear. It doesn’t need or deserve special treatment or singling out, good or bad,.

There's no place for censorship in art and creative expression. Forums are art and/or creative expression? I thought they were just middle-aged blokes mouthing off. |

Maybe so, but since music and the means of reproducing it (electronically) have been my entire life ever since I could toddle, I do appreciate being able to talk about it, especially here.

And that’s what this forum is for. I got sick of being told it’s the music that matters, or having to wade through loads of other forum stuff. There’s a place for those things on other forums. This one is primarily for the gear. |

There never were I don't think. When I was at University '87-'90 only a handful of us had a separates system, and not anything fancy, either. One bloke did have an LP12 but he didn't bring it with him because he was worried about it getting nicked.

This isn’t to protect them, it’s to protect us from contamination. As a result, all I’ve been able to leave were your first the words. |

Any "refugee" from any forum will be welcome here if they join with the Intention of leaving any loyalty to a side in the epic "forum wars" 😄 and just want to talk about the stuff that plays their music, with like minded folk.
We have all (mostly) proved this by being here and generally coexisting with each other. I say generally because a lot of water has passed under multiple bridges and time to time a little flare up and division becomes apparent.
What I will say is this:
Andrew is spot on about our ethos for this forum. We will not be dragged into the depths of name calling or bad mouthing other forums members. If a topic on a forum is of interest, sure, we can have a chat about it but nothing is gained from a forum where the most popular topic of conversation is members of other forums. There's nothing to gain from that. Also, it just causes further bad feeling.
We are bridging the forum divide, slowly but Surely, and IF you can contribute to this forum with your knowledge of gear and experience, whatever brand it may be, you will always be welcome.

Aye we are all getting on Not so many younger guys into hifi either Probably look-in on some forums and think: what a bunch of sad, whiney, psychologically suspect, vindictive, power-crazed - "I don't care if you're name IS Norman Vincent Armatage, you can piss off, Mate. You're not wanted here. Even if your name wasn't that, I'd ban you on account of the trousers you're wearing in your profile. Just who do you think you are? Rupert The sodding Bear? - set of old tossers and think to themselves: I don't want to end up like that. The youth aren't what they used to be. A sizable percentage aren't interested in owning media and prefer to stream. Over the past 10 years 20% of them have decided not to taken up driving. On-line gambling's a serious attraction for some. |

I used to work with someone called Norman Armitage. He's probably dead by now, as this was over forty years ago and he was almost 60 then. |
