The Wam Show is dead - Long Live the Maverick Hifi Enthusiasts Show

[Lawrence001]

There was the odd case of abuse from frustrated members about the tech issues.

Thought there were some issues as most times I logged in it was offline. I used the WAM for many year, in fact I think it was the first forum I joined but from what I see maybe its days are numbered? So many forums seem to have fractured in the last ten years and gone their own way. Ah well I will stay put here as long as someone keeps putting money in the slot and keeps the lights on!.

I think we get by because we are more of a community, built on mutual respect and a willingness to discuss everything from bass response to bowel movements, and everything in between

Yeah it is a friendly place Steve and everyone is treated with respect or humour.. I have been round a lot of the other hifi forums out there and there are indeed very many and they all seem to have their own flavour but the best are those which build a good community and are open and broad minded. I see that this forum does get plenty of interest from many more than those who contribute and that's great as they will hopefully find something on here worthwhile reading

very very sad to see all this . its a great place and a great support to many many people

Ooh are we allowed to talk about our bowel movements I didn't realise. Will update forum members in the morning.

Normally I too am a morning person, but yesterday I got a ten minute warning at a customer's house. And my mate had only installed the new bathroom a few weeks ago. This was only about the sixth time I've had to use a customer's bog for a number two in 20 years, I don't consider it good form. I'd hoped I could get it done unnoticed, but there was no bloody bog roll! So I had to ask. He took it well.

As this is a hifi and music forum I will mention that he did have a good collection of 70s rock albums, and he'd wrapped cling film round the shelves to keep the dust off while we worked

[Lawrence001]

Sounds like you should wrap cling film round your arse before paying a morning visit to a customer. Actually maybe not, that could get quite messy quite fast especially if it's a Monday morning visit after a nice Ruby on the Sunday night.

I'm a morning person too, it usually comes on quick about 30 mins after my morning coffee. The problem is, my commute takes an hour.

new laws written to scupper small forums' surviving by any form of ads apparently.

I'm not sure about that but a lot of members paid subs to go ad free and they started getting ads. The mods couldn't sort it and contacted the owners but I understand there was no support (or even response) for months and some people got increasingly frustrated.
