Peterc - Don't do it! Once the good folks start to leave, there will be no thoughtful solution. :'(
Ethan - It must be difficult to keep your cool sometimes
All - Gearslutz is a cesspool; let's stay far away from that model. :
Don't participate in discussions that move the forum in a direction that you don't like.
Starve the trolls.
Reward those that frame questions thoughtfully with all the attention you can afford.
If you don't like prefab case sellers, please don't jump into one of those their threads to tell us what an abomination it is. Instead, start or participate vigorously in, a thread that emphasizes DIY case building. Some think inductors should all be hand wound, some think that a DIY DOA is the real thing, etc. , each person decides for themselves how far they want to carry on. I bet the majority of people bought their first piece of audio equipment factory-made, and then progressively descended down the slippery DIY slope.
I also think that Ethan and his Mod's can handle the policing of the forum without help from the peanut gallery. Am I wrong?
I'm not sure that I would have taken offense in the way that Peterc has, but I think that he has just cause to feel the way that he does.
All in all, this forum is still a very good thing, and will change and evolve with the times, which requires a good faith effort on everyone's part if we are to keep it as a very good thing.
