O Great Forum where art thou?
I'd like to just make a quick call to all the forum regulars to keep doing what we've always done to make this place great. Stay on topic, stay positive, keep your criticism constructive and helpful, and if you feel like trolling... dig up that old troll thread and say your stuff there.
It really makes this forum valuable to have thousands of topics with useful, clear interaction that isn't littered with useless bantering and off-topic chitchat. Lets just keep it that way.

I'm getting your drift @Hmtx but the more you big this thing the bigger it gets. I've been on this forum for about 2 years now and have seen quite a lot of shall I say 'interesting' interactions.
People actually have started whole threads with cheeky misleading information in the name of humour and I'm not talking about myself. Take note: this is not a user guide. This is a forum. Bring it into perspective. I've contributed to this forum in a vast way concerning stuff I'm knowledgable about and used it as a source of information. I've also got addicted to silly comments that have been shared by several people around here and they account for the atmosphere that I value here as much as the old info about this or that app.
Of all musicians I've met in real life most of them were real characters and as far as I'm concerned that added to the wholeness of my experience as a musician.
Having said all that however, I want to apologize to those who find my sense of humour irritating. We're all different. I'll leave to the moderators whether my actions were inflammatory and/or otherwise destructive to the integrity and purpose of this forum.
Boom boom Chaka doo
OMG omg OMG! What did I miss??.? What happened?
You're right about musicians, unreliable lot. Prone to despair, unwarranted ego, and will nab your girlfriend given half the chance.
I do think it's a fine line between having a bit of fun and pissing people off. Like most of life I suppose. It's also very common for forums of all types to get into hissy fits every once in a while. Blow things into something they may be not. I think the AB seems to do a brilliant Rodney King of it most of the time, especially given the fact that not only is it made up largely by a bunch of musicians, but there are sound engineers here as well, and, software developers, most unsavory.
Add into that mix the fact that when it comes to taste and interest some of us like Their Satanic Majesties and other Praise The Lord, but still, we seem to mostly manage to not to rise to the bait too much. Well done us.
Apart from the useless bantering and off-topic chitchat. That would probably be mostly me. I can own that one. I'll try to do better. Or less of it. Or whatever etc. In the meantime, and as my dear old Nanny always said: If the man sends you down a stony path, may he give you strong shoes....
I CAN'T SEE NO DRAMA ANYWHERE! Totally fake thread , very disappoint
Never sell a hen on a wet day.
Don't stop the banter @JohnnyGoodyear I only find it irritating when I can't get it....which is most of Monday mornings.

wth does that mean?
and anyways, as long as we don't mention the impc pro we'll be alright. (chuckles)
I am all for humor. But bumping an old thread with non related info or questions, seeing people irritated..... and then do the same thing to another thread, and then again a third time...... that's not humor in my book, that's pissing people off.
I do know that I have learned much from many of you even though I don't post much, I do appreciate all the positive discussions. Most of us here seem to understand the difference between fact and opinion. The one's that don't get that seem to have trouble differentiating. So, basically "Be Excellent". Oh, and "WYLD STALLYNS RULE." - Bill & Ted.
I still believe this is the best forum by far! Even with the occasional argument, random bumps followed by a let down, and the Movers/Nike Air spam, this place blows all other music production and anything iOS out of the water. Seriously, I've seen some wacky stuff out there...this place...I call home.
Thank you!

Our thread bumping friends are having a bit of fun with our app addict friends.
We're all here because we're not all here

Mine was another Zen Koan, written with flower petals three centuries later, and only seen by five people, before the wind blew it away.
All in good fun, folks. I'm not sure how my Original post here came off so hard-nosed. I've just come back from a few hours of guitar playing and feeling much better. The fun here is well worth the risk. that chihuahua meme from @coloobar made my day.
And @supadom, I gotta admit this thread was a moderate attempt to troll you back for what you've done today ...success! :-b
Now the truth is I don't know the nature of online forums and I just wondered if many forums start around a common idea and is full of sincere goodwill for a few years like our beloved forum. Perhaps there is a life cycle where original members become more colloquial and playful... Which leads to new members who don't realize there is an underlying sense of respect ... who then become more vocal but don't have quite the same level of decency... Then on it goes, a gradual downward spiral toward usual internet riffraff.
... There I went and got serious again. Hmmm.... Just keep doing what you do. I've got a date with Bebot.
Oh and @supadom owes us all animoog , sunrizer and Thor updates. !
I mentioned this before, but of the (alas, few) forums I've been on, this one is the most constructive and useful of any of them. Hats off to you all!
@Hmtx
Here's some light reading for you -when Bebot loses steam- on the lifecyle of online communities:

http://www.mpi-sws.org/~cristian/Linguistic_change_files/linguistic_change_lifecycle.pdf
Each has interesting bits and bobs. The last is perhaps the most interesting in and of itself. My own experience as a Mod (not that kind) in the first four or five years of the two thousands back up most of the lifecycle research that is out there. It's a terrible pity but I first read something on this (from a psychological aspect) in early nineties (via Prodigy I think) and made the mistake of thinking the monograph would always be available to me. It's The Internet, what can go wrong? Of course I can't find it now. Great piece of supple work.
@1P18 said:
well of course.
Trust me ... This forum is stoically august compared to some. We gots it good
Cool beans(tm) @Hmtx I even have some of you memorised in my predictive dictionary which must acount for something.
Thanks for the links @JohnnyGoodyear one day we shall spoil sociologist's fun and move to dark Web.
We could add a drama plug-in.
Don't know about 'Drama plugin' could be a Python plugin as in Monty.....and now for something completely different!
+1 for drama plugin

How about the date of the start of a thread on the main page? Is that possible?
Without sounding too sucky-uppy this is probably the best forum I've been on. Even the disagreements/spats/hissy-fits are good natured compared to some of the evil trolling I've seen elsewhere. +1 to the owners for letting musicians and weirdo's do their thing, and for not enforcing a horrible, sterile corporate selling platform regime.

And me. I like it.
Yes I want to know how blah-blah-blah performs on a 1932's iPad running Linux, and why Audiobus isn't recognising Facebook as an effect, but it's nice to talk about another stuff too - muck about a bit and make a few new mates.
Off-topic is useful too - I discovered the VAT changes (which affect my own business) via a thread here, and nabbed a great vector app before the price went up. It's all good. I don't frequent other forums so if it's not on here then I don't know about it.
Great forum. Great community. I'm learing a ton and this keeps me in the loop on this fast-changing format. Most of all-this forum has taught me how to employ the iOS format to do complete audio production.
I learn new words here, thanks for sucky-uppy monzo! I am sure to find another use for it heheh.
This is my one and only forum. Always reading, sometimes posting. The only reason I joined back in May 2014 is because the posts were and are useful, helpful, entertaining and don't slide into the atavistic hatred that makes me question the stupidity of the human race. On a light hearted note I like the irony, surrealism and satire that sometimes presents itself.
Ha ha - good post @Monzo. 100% agree.
I particularly like:
"why Audiobus isn't recognising Facebook as an effect" - this really sucks.
I like the mix of really useful / helpful comments and genuine feedback mixed with useless bantering and off-topic chitchat.
I love that we can move from Midi cc's to the pros and cons of corporates paying tax to transient detection to world headlines - all in good nature and mutual respect. Despite the fact that i'd imagine there are A LOT of different people here from different backgrounds/locations/perspectives/experiences and cultures.
I particularly like the fact that mostly people go out of their way not to take offence when the nature of this type of communication means that it's easy for things to come across a bit strong and blunt.
All good - including this thread and the tolerance of different people's sense of humour.
