With what current mods?  Please be specific.

We are getting off-topic for this thread - I'll message you with the answer to your question. We should stay on topic. (I don't mean that in a bad way, it is just appropriate to stay on the topic of this thread).

Ha.

The Bengals website I admin has a trash talk forum with an enter at your own risk warning.  I stay out of that one...

Truth be told, it's not that effective.  People still go at it in the main forums, and have to be "handled".  The trash talk forum goes largely unused. 


I was part of a community where trash talk was the topic. The smart ones were creative. But it didn't last. People just ran out of good ideas. So I have as thick a skin as anyone here.  headbang

We may create a dueling sub-forum where people can have at it. TheGame can simply move the relevant posts there.

So TheGame will moderate...The Game?

I'm in.


Boy, I'd hate to see all the words and threads so far disappear. Would much rather see the old stuff migrated...may be tough, but continuity seems important to me.

Monitization seems appropriate/inevitable to me. I've got no problems there.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this place continues to be a strong, considered voice for the headphone enthusiast community.

More important by far, it seems to me, is a light hand in moderation allowing free flowing dialog.

A quote from one of my favorite thinkers:

"...awakening...the process of dialogue itself as a free flow of meaning among all the participants. In the beginning, people were expressing fixed positions, which they were tending to defend, but later it became clear that to maintain the feeling of friendship in the group was much more important than to hold any position. Such friendship has an impersonal quality in the sense that its establishment does not depend on a close personal relationship between participants. A new kind of mind thus beings to come into being which is based on the development of a common meaning that is constantly transforming in the process of the dialogue. People are no longer primarily in opposition, nor can they be said to be interacting, rather they are participating in this pool of common meaning which is capable of constant development and change. In this development the group has no pre-established purpose, though at each moment a purpose that is free to change may reveal itself. The group thus begins to engage in a new dynamic relationship in which no speaker is excluded, and in which no particular content is excluded. Thus far we have only begun to explore the possibilities of dialogue in the sense indicated here, but going further along these lines would open up the possibility of transforming not only the relationship between people, but even more, the very nature of consciousness in which these relationships arise."
