Well, all I can say is that post does not sum up the "rules" on the SPoT, but no matter. If you read the SPoT you can obviously see that we have plenty of referrals to other forums on the SPoT, as long as they are in the context of an answer and not an attempt to undermine the forum or cause a distraction. It is the same policy on all the other forums on HT including, AVS, HTF, DTF and others. I am not going to get into that all over again. You can do a search yourself to see we don’t make a habit of editing out referrals unless they are blatant and frankly it is rare even in that regard. AVS is literally mentioned thousands upon thousands of times on the SPoT. It is the same for HTF and the others. It would be very easy for me to wipe those out if I had a policy that prohibited it. The rule is there for people who ABUSE it.
I have apologized to, any and all, if I made a mistake and jumped to the conclusion of what a couple of members “may” have been trying to do. Chalk it up to a misunderstanding on my part. I can only fall on my sword so many times and say I am sorry before it looks pretty pathetic. However, it isn't as if it has not happened before where someone started an attempt to Spam the SPoT for memberships. I apologized if anyone felt singled out, I was just trying to get people to be courteous and try to help me build info, in a young forum, like the Axiom SPoT, that needs babying, and to be helpful to everyone concerned and help support the fact I and many others have put a lot of time and effort into building the SPoT.
I am only here because people have started threads on this. Sorry if I am concerned about the truth and that people do NOT misinterpret my relationship with Axiom. That I cannot allow, so as I said I hope that the issue has been put to rest. Nothing more can really be said that has not already been said countless times.
BTW, I am opening up the Axiom SPoT to all users even the ones I had the initial dispute with. I feel I have made my peace with them and they have been coming to my defense, so all is well as far as I am concerned. If you have problems seeing it let me know and I will fix it.
If the concepts of the SPoT community are not to your liking, then you always have the freedom to go elsewhere. Many do find it a home that they feel comfortable in and I hope that many continue to find it so but as the saying Lincoln said, “… you can’t please all of the people, all of the time.”
I have also revamped the Banner on the SPoT for Axiom. I have the M22ti, a VP150 and four QS8’s for surrounds and rears. I can honestly say that of all the speakers I have run through my Home Theater these are far and away the best in this price range I have had. I get requests to listen and test speakers all the time. It is rare that I actually keep them after I am done as I have with Axiom. I hope that says something about how I feel about them.
