In all due respect , it isn't just a case of people with under 20 posts not posting much, but its that we're typically ignored by those who have been on the board from the beginning. We sort of feel like we're the kids on the benches watching the popular kids converse in front of us, but we can't really get in on the conversation.

I agree with adogg above... love the idea of this place but it really comes off as 10-12 of you guys having a private conversation about gear amongst yourselves and "allowing" others to listen in.

(Insert witty sports analogy about getting off the bench and into the game here)..
Or..
(Insert witty analogy about not letting life pass you by, carpe diem and all that stuff)
In other words, don't sit around waiting for someone to acknowledge you, get into the conversations! Do you think the rest of us had to learn a secret handshake or something?
We just yack about gear and stuff without much thought.

Wait – let me get this straight. You don't post because other people post? I really don't know how we could be any more inviting.

I think they're saying that their posts are not being acknowledge or getting feedback, they're just being ignored and passed over?
I'd say just keep posting, there's going to be a topic where your input will get a response.

I would never do anything like that on purpose. (hurt someones feelings or be rude)
If I have, I am sorry.
Jump in.
If I don't respond to a post its either cause I don't really have anything of value to add, or I can't think of a smart alec reply 8)
seriously
Jump in the water is fine...
cheers

John, in all due respect, look at the amount of posts and threads that have gone ignored by so many. This isn't an unwarranted criticism. You've put up a great board, but so far about 90% of the conversation is done by about 15% of the members. The problem isn't that we don't post, it's that after a while we get turned off by the crickets that accompany any post or thread we make. If I was the only one who felt like that, then you could chalk that up to me being very boring and uninteresting...which I am in spades. But this is a common gripe amongst many of us out here whenever we talk about RG. I know we're all not "cool" but we make a living mixing and spend too much gear we don't really need but love to justify to our wives.

Well, I'm really only interested in technical stuff and the occasional non technical topic, so i personally probably only even read 30% of the threads here. I don't think I've ever even been in the songwriting section at all.
I'd say that if you want a specific person to see your post or answer a question, tag them in the post.
If it's just a matter of nobody really reading it, it just might not be a popular topic. I hate it, but that just might be what it is. I dunno.

I certainly don't feel ignored or intimidated. I just keep forgetting to check in. I'm not sure if I have more than 20 posts or not, I'll see when I post this....

Not in your guys league but I do learn a lot listening. I do love gear also. Just bought a pair of WA76's w/link mostly on Cowboy's recommendation and a Audient ASP880 that I love the sound of. Without any real console time (going by the sound of Harrison Mixbus) I think it sounds like a console. Finally getting close to that drum sound I've been after in my little garage attic space.

Can you point me to a thread where that happened? I actually have had plenty of posts and threads that didn't generate much response. |

To be honest, I don't read every single post - just what interests me. I certainly thought that this board was very welcoming - sorry if it hasn't appeared that way. At no point have I ever aimed this board at "people that do this for a living". So - I'll do my best to do a better job of trying to respond to more posts.

I don't think anyone's saying that anything was done on an intentional level. It's a small (but growing) board still, and the more people you get on the better it will be. Come join us noobs and commiserate more often. AD |
