Not a bad start wheelz, but you need to step up your game a little if you're gonna take this seriously...

Looking good Cam! Just grab yourself a churchwarden or calabash pipe and you’ll be doing a wicked Sherlock Holmes.

I think Holmes Cam would look better than Pink Poodle Cam. ;\)

Boy my timing is off today before it was a lack of caffeine now I suppose It’s a lack of alcohol. Time for an Erdinger Weissbrau Dunkel. Nice to have an AFB in Ramstein. ;\)

BAHAHAHA-Laughing hysterically-. I think it should be referred to as my gimp pimp hand.


The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

This link just got posted over at Audioholics:

Might be a joke but “extended warranty?”

Especially considering over 1/3 of the active threads over there today are in the classifieds section. 12 out of 34 right now.

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. But you are right, lately there are more people selling stuff than what I'm accustomed to.

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.

It's not a good feeling. I've been posting there regularly for 5 years. Even though I've never met most of the people there I still call them friends. We talked about everything from cars to house repairs to cookbooks. You name it. (It's just like here at Axiom) The love of Audio brought us together and it's really disappointing that we're seemingly going to lose all that.

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.

I think I'll be okay. ;\)
