    I know the feeling, forums are supposed to be fun! I've been on several, and have ditched them all to hang here. These guys are great! You can find some genuine intelligent conversation here!

    I thought it really brave of you to share your feelings here Simon, many people bottle up their feelings of depression and desperation. Know that you are not alone mate. Many of us are at some point or another troubled by the black dog. Remember there is help out there should you need it.

    Sorry to hear of your troubles on the other forum. None of that here. Sure you get disagreements from time to time but it's never unpleasant. Very nice folks on AoS. Stick around you'll enjoy it.

    Cheers

    If you have any doubt about the type of people who frequent this forum, have a look at the thread regarding "Sovereign" its like a family on here. We may disagree, argue even but when it matters everyone comes together.

    Thats how I feel anyway.

    +1 (with bells on). It's obvious that Simon found it cathartic to 'let it all out', which I think reflects well on the close-knit 'vibe' and friendly community spirit we've got here on AoS, so I hope he feels better after expending his emotions, and that his head is in a much better place now

    Rest assured that no-one would *ever* experience here what Simon did on that other forum, as the very second any of the mods or I knew about the treatment he was receiving, it would've been dealt with and those responsible banned. Furthermore, none of the mods here would have instigated or exacerbated the situation, as appears to have happened with Simon on the forum concerned.

    Simon, I would ask that you reveal on which forum you experienced your terrible ordeal, as we have no fixed policy on such matters, save the discussion of one particular place (Hifi Subjectivist), and I suspect that's not where this happened.

    I myself recently experienced quite shocking treatment on another forum, the details of which and forum involved I most certainly will be mentioning here shortly. I just need to collate all the necessary information I've saved and type it up.

    Hi Simon.

    Thank you for sharing your deepest feelings. It's an honour to have you here as a member.

    Rest assured, we kick out anyone Trolling seriously quickly. Stay with us, we are a friendly bunch. I always see AOS like being in a pub circled with friends and having a great time. If you have any agro just let one of us know.

    Sometimes some threads can get a little heated but it's at that point where common sense jumps in to know when to walk away from it. Grudges should be left at the door.

    We like to share our knowledge here too and there are so many here who are incredibly knowledgeable so if you have any questions, just ask.

    Sit back and enjoy AOS... it's a top place

    Nice one, Oliver.

    Glad that's how you feel, as we try hard to engender those feelings amongst the membership, which we'd like to think are experienced by all the regulars who participate on AoS and put something of themselves into the community, and don't just see AoS as 'another hi-fi forum', from which to glean certain information (take), without also giving something positive back.

    The members who do that, and go the extra mile, are ultimately those who will be rewarded themselves (with help and support from others here when needed), and truly 'get' what AoS is all about!

    So if you're a newbie here, or an infrequent visitor, and want to 'feel the love' too, as it were, then embrace the community aspect of AoS, and go and meet other members in real life, through bake-offs or whatever [get to know the faces behind the names], and help others in any way when you can, as that's ultimately how you'll get the most out of AoS.

    Marco.
