"Other" Category: Welcome to the Off-Topic Zone!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some changes we're making to the forum, specifically around off-topic conversations. This community has always been about making music—especially in the iOS music world—and that will always be the focus here. But I know that sometimes we want to chat about other things too, and that’s okay.
A while back, we introduced a stricter policy to keep everything music-related. It came from a good place: things were getting a bit heated, and it felt like we were losing the positive, supportive vibe that makes this community great. But I’ve heard your concerns that that might be “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”, and I want to tweak things.
We have two "Off-Topic" spaces:
- Other Music Content: This is for posts that are still music-adjacent—things like favourite artists, music culture, or general gear talk that doesn’t directly tie into Loopy Pro. These posts will appear on the main forum page. No changes, here.
- Other: This is for anything else—completely off-topic stuff like philosophy, tech, funny stories, UFOs (yes!!), or whatever’s on your mind. It's wide open, and we're gonna experiment with a more relaxed approach to moderating it. For that reason, now posts in this category won’t appear on the main page, so they won’t interfere with the forum’s overall focus and vibe. You’ll need to navigate to the Other category to see them.
The overall vibe here—music-focused, kind, and collaborative—won’t change. Whether you’re talking about plugins or your determination to expose the truth of the advanced civilisations living inside the hollow Earth (more power to you!), being kind and respectful is non-negotiable.
"Other" is our space for conversations that don’t fit anywhere else. Want to chat about movies, your latest tech project, or the obvious fact that beer should be consumed at room temperature? Go for it! However, to keep this a safe and respectful space, here’s what you should know:
- Hidden from the main page: Posts here will only be visible if you navigate directly to this category, so feel free to let your hair down a bit.
- Moderation is lighter: We’ll intervene only if things get really out of hand. Think of this as a “look-after-yourself” zone.
- Flag if needed: If you see something genuinely harmful or toxic, please flag it, and we’ll step in.
- Respect remains key: While the rules are looser here, kindness and consideration are still non-negotiable.

Stay thirsty, my friends.
Well done, Mikey.
I’m sure I will benefit from this basic change while I wait for Loopy Pro to follow embrace MIDI looping.
Most people don’t visit a coffee shop or pub just for the beverage but they crave community. We have one here
and after years we tend to know all the players and that context makes conversations a lot more relevant, engaging
and worth reading and commenting.
Given the diversity of IOS music making I’m glad we get along as well as we do. The range of styles and influences here is
one of the benefits too because you get exposed to music you might never stumble upon.
The music of @Svetlovska opens doors to possibilities… I sincerely hope this change in policy keeps her producing work for
our feedback and enlightenment.
To avoid missing new posts in threads in the Other category that interest you, you can "favorite" them using the star icon at the right of the thread title. You'll need to remember to check that category in order to spot new threads you're interested in though.
Also, I just want to add, without responding to any specific thread or sentiment , Michael, Doug, and Wim work extremely hard at maintaining the largest online forum for iOS/ipados/etc music production - but with that said, this IS LPF, and it always was, Michael’s forum.
So I just want to reverberate THANK YOU to @Michael for continuing over a decade of providing answers and one on one interfacing with devs, music sharing, and more. And also for allowing us a platform that provides a plentiful plethora of outlets and insightful content.
I’m extremely grateful to be a part of this team, almost feel unworthy to be amongst such standup gents who really care about this community and work tirelessly at maintaining and creating and improving it
Anyone who thinks otherwise really needs to reevaluate their metrics and also remember the origins of the forum…and its current status…and make their own decisions
Best to all
❤️
I really like the new concept you are proposing @Michael . Thank you for the best forum on the net.
Thank you to the moderators for your hard work.
This really seems like a good solution that will work well for everyone.
And I was wondering why I was getting all these notifications for this thread. Duh,, yeah, I used the “Star” lol
Btw, thank you @Michael
Btw2; can you release the dang Loopy Pro update already?
A lot of topics in the Other section really belong more in the Other Music Content category and others as they're at least loosely related to music making and deserve to show up in the main discussion if they're updated. Some of the more recent ones have already been moved out of there but it'll be a gradual process.
I'm just highlighting this for those who missed that distinction among all the discussion yesterday. For all but completely off-topic stuff, virtually nothing has changed.
Noice! Diving back into the UFO invasion now! lol
This is #peakdiplomacy! Maybe @Michael should've run for president 😂
Did we mention that you're now required to post your home address and telephone number in every post in the Other category?
Thank you
OMG, tell me about it! I'm losing my mind over here. Just wanna get the damn thing out, but I gotta make it rock solid first!
😀 I built a big, beautiful wall around Other, and made @LinearLineman pay for it.
Nobody wants it out the door more than Michael does. He is working incredibly hard on an ambitious release that has been trickier than anticipated. The last tidying up sometimes takes longer than one would have hoped.
He is committed to having it be a solid release that lays a foundation for what will be an increasingly amazing feature set.
I hope that people will be patient as the release gets tidied up.
I'm also rather incapacitated by having begun homeschooling our autistic kiddo last year, so I'm only running on 2 or 3 cylinders. It's rather frustrating, but it is what it is!
Hahahahah
Did no one see this ^^^^
This guy is trying to outdo my humor now lol
Ssshh! I was hoping no one noticed the stealth disclosure.
Wishing you best of luck on homeschooling mate.
🤣 LOL.
Maybe the inevitable bar fights that will follow in the Other area can be protected from being added to search engines and that way the “family friendly” version of the site will be maintained? I have no idea how search engines catalog or scrape web sites, so this might be an impossible idea.
Now Michael is crushing the jokes
I’m gonna need a new role around here lmao
What a positive turn around
Ok have a great night all
Best of luck meeting all challenges, Michael.
Honestly I hope he takes as much time as he needs. No pressure! My intention was only to give him a “hard time” in the most loving way.
And @Michael, as someone who raised two boys as a single father (they’re grown now), I only have admiration and respect for you when you put being a father first.
Hehe, I got that! Believe me though, I feel pleeeenty of pressure. I had intended this stuff to be finished by this time last year! It's crazy how much longer stuff takes now. And thank you!
I wish you solid progress in all you are working on! Each part of it could be a real challenge on its own!
May it come together beautifully! Thanks for the forum and all you do and allow here. @Michael
This forum has been a beneficial place for me.
❤️
nice compromise Michael ( why are there so many Michael (s) in my autocomplete? )
I hope that it wont breakout into some unsafe space
Lets keep to the golden rule: DON'T BE A D*CK
What do you have against Ducks?
