PLEASE do something!
Look at the latest / top 6 threads not one of them is talking about the subject they were supposed to address, they are all talking about Ashley and AVI. They are all now off topic.
What do we have to do to get our forum back?

I shouldn't worry about it Richard, they'll soon get tired of me and I'm nearly out of things to say anyway.

Think I might hang around 'elsewhere' for a wee while.

I'm gone.
Ban Ashley and his nasty JC Bum drongo - all they do is turn everything into marketing for AVI - obnoxiously so, in the case of Mr Bum. You know it makes sense!
I'd be happy to post a bit more then (Gosh, they cry, how gracious of him) - it's all a bit pointless at the moment -and I really do hate to be used as marketing fodder for Ashley.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your feedback, and I understand your concerns.
I can't ban for people for discussing their products or referring to them, albeit somewhat, erm, 'too enthusiastically'. As I'm sure you'll appreciate, it isn't really a ban-able offence.
What I will do though, as I'm getting more and more complaints about this, is ban any further discussion about AVI or its products on existing threads. I will only permit AVI or its products to be mentioned on new threads if it's appropriate or to new members specifically asking about their products.
How's that as a fair compromise?
Marco.

Marco I think you know that I'm not trying to market AVI and that JC is an enthusiastic customer who doesn't even have an agency.
This is not the place to market anything, however ADM9s are a hot product right now, they've caused tremendous interest and controversy and they are selling in substantial quantities. As a result an argument has been raging for a year on Hi Fi Wigwam and I've never once contributed to it, it's simply the inevitable fall out from product that breaks with tradition. Accusing me of marketing on any Forum is just pointless bitching, it won't stop the row and it may increase traffic on this one, it increased PF's uniques by 25% and there have been 25,000 odd viewings on Wigwam. There aren't that many products around that could do that.
I'd far rather discuss all things audio and answer the odd question about ADM9s and I believe that if the whingers shut up and ignored the subject instead of trying to make trouble, the whole issue would die a death.
And JCBrum's latest Post is a hell of a lot more amusing than the tosh Richard spouts.

I don't mind buggering off and never coming back, I've got fans too you know, and I've been thrown out of better places than this !
If you ban discussion of AVI and leave it free to discuss Nene Valley Audio, and Pure Sound, then it puts a pretty big label on this forum with respect to it's objectives, and the opinions of it's members. It's not a label I'd be proud to be associated with.
You can't govern by censorship and free speech is essential to mental health.
I'm all for allowing Richard to rant at me as much as he likes, if you segregate the membership, then it makes his rant pointless, and devalues every remark by anyone on the whole forum.
I'm quite happy with anyone coming into my room and saying their piece. It's only a hifi forum, and like a hifi set, you can always turn it off.
Get real.
