Interesting, I am used to running project groups and reminding people of the tasks, deadlines and monitoring disturbing behaviour that might threaten the project. It never made me popular but people did remember that I was always there to help and assist where necessary.

Regarding the terms of service, if you are willing to read and learn and can take few jokes Changstar is chill. I even met Solderdude via Changstar. That guy is awesome.

Irritating has nothing to do with it. Trolling has everything to do with it. HF has selective, hypocritical and meaningless ToS. Moderation here is much more democratic than most people know.

I agree, that's why I'm changing to changstar.

I'm pretty new to all of this, however, got just one response on multiple threads on Head-Fi before coming here, where I got answers on all of my questions literally. Member for just a few days, and already loving this place.

HF is overcrowded and new members have to survive the information overload. Sometimes you are lucky and experienced members help you. Sometimes you are ignored...

I wouldn't say "ignored" so much as "lost in the crowd". There are just too many people asking the same questions these days, it all blurs together.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

That's because the Head-fi experience is largely premised and funded on cycling through new users.

Just say you didn't like a particular aspect of a headphone north of $100 on any pertinent thread... you'll proly get replies. Perhaps even an eventual thread lock with it's bonus thread "redaction".
