Discussion topics being posted in the incorrect rooms

Hi Chris,

I guess it depends on what you consider as "the right area", and also "inappropriate areas".

That may be so to you, but in actual fact not, in terms of where things should be going based on our judgement criteria. It's likely just a matter of interpretation. Ultimately, though, it's up to us where things go.

Could you give me some examples of what you're referring to? Links to specific threads would be good, noting where they started and then ended up.

Generally if threads are moved, it's for a very good reason

How about this one http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6788 ?

It's got nothing to do with music or playback of recorded music at all, so I started the thread in the general chat area.
It got shifted to the digital expressions area, which I thought was strange at the time.

Hi Chris,

No idea why that ended up where it did....

I guess it just shows that we can make mistakes, too!

If that happens again to you or anyone else, please let us know and we will rectify it

Computers are digital, innit?

There's far too many rooms with poncey names anyway. Who on earth would know whether something should be an 'artist's impression' or a 'a stroke of genius'?

Hardly anyone.........well, except the ones who can be arsed to read the descriptions that are directly underneath the names!

I beg to differ. If I buy different plugs, fit them to my cables and find it a huge improvement that I want to share with AoS, is that a tweak which should go into 'Strokes of Genius' or an accessory that should go into 'The Artist's Palette'?

Okay as Strokes of Genius is my baby so to speak....imho it should be the place where you put reviews on any audio item, some of which should/could go into other rooms (normally) but rather than a few lines (which might be fine for other rooms) a SOG item/review (I hope) will have more depth to it and length.

Does that help ?

Yeah, S.O.G is more for in-depth reviews of equipment and/or describing the effects of (usually non-cable related) tweaks which have transformed your system, such as for example, filters, demagnetisers, oak cones, and the like, or perhaps just some adjustment you've made to your system, which has proved revelatory, that hasn't involved the addition of anything new at all!
