That being said, I also understand that there is more to life than internet forums. Spending time with family and close friends is where the greatest joy and happiness is at. Great, now you tell me. I guess I just need to get my friends and family to join the forum. Wait, considering all of the dumb things I say here, perhaps it's best to keep those two worlds separate.

The classified section has been reasonably active for a while. When AV123 re-opened the forum in June(?) 2009 after a 6 month hiatus I noticed that the vibe wasn't the same. Many of the regulars either left for good or weren't posting as much. I don't blame them.
Regarding the gentleman's post about extended warranty, I think he's being sincere. He just bought and received the x-statiks a couple of days ago. I sort of chuckled when I read about the extended warranty part. Um, okay? Right.
Kind of sad watching what’s going on over there. I’ve seen a couple posts like that guy who don’t seem to see what’s going on. At least one new person who was a little miffed that no one warned her about things. Worst is seeing all the “old-timers” signing off and saying goodbye to each other. Though as you point out it looks like many of them weren’t hanging out there any more. Wonder what it feels like for them? This is the only forum I hang out in regularly. I banned myself from a couple others because of wasting to much time on them plus they were wargaming forums and I haven’t had time for that for a while anyway. Makes me wonder how it would feel if this forum started dieing out. You brought up another excellent point that is pertinent about buying online and one of the "warning signs" and that is active censorship on the company forum (if it has one). You have been seeing this with their moderators or employees and also long time supporters of the company recommending, downplaying or staying quiet on very important and serious issues that they are fully aware when people ask about their products. Most of these individuals that got suckered in within the last year or so are probably going to be without a warranty  . On a separate note I am also noticing a lot of censorship at Emotiva lately (which makes them not very attractive to me as a company)
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

It's pretty sad to see an online community dissolving. Even if (for some reason) that community has been a bunch of jerks to our community at certain times.

Though it might be cool to see Cam “Pimp his Ride.” I can see it now "'Cutter Cam' and the “Starship Enterpoop.” Dated myself there didn’t I.  With Billy and the Boingers blasting on the stereo. "U stink but luv u" and "I'm a boinger"

"U stink but luv u" and "I'm a boinger" Wow, I hadn't thought of them in a long time. Talk about a blast from the past! I remember playing that flexible 45 that came with the book. For those of you too young to know of this late 80s gem, this link has it all - the story, the pics, and embedded mp3s of both songs. Rock on!
