RE: Where has everyone gone??

Hi, Greg,

I've noticed the same thing. The forums over at VinylEngine, Audiogon, and AudioKarma are much more active. It's lamentable to think Luminator's suggestion that "(c) the uncalled-for personal attacks and denigration" has driven people away but I believe it to be true. Many of the regulars here at AudioAsylum tend to be far more argumentative (aggressively so) than at other sites.

I don't know if it's entirely due to more restrictive posting rules and/or diligent monitoring (including self-monitoring) at other sites but the Asylum seems to accommodate embarrassingly juvenile behavior that adds nothing to the discussion and probably does drive people away. I do understand that the Asylum's goal is to foster "(d)ebate about audio, even when heated", but I also wonder if it's time to redefine the current Asylum paradigm for what is considered a "heated" discussion.

Regards,
Tom
