It's certainly the only other forum I read other than here.
    Ah, that's interesting.
    I might well give PFM another go -- I'll see if the 'right' people have been booted!

    Lol - well for me, most of them have. There are still a few belligerent idiots there, but every forum has some. IMO, the vibe over on pfm now is so much better than it used to be, and hi-fi topics are now no longer almost immediately derailed by the 'agenda monkeys'.

    So Basicaly, instead of giving a real reply, we resort to the equivilent of text messaging!
    Where we are not interested in the slightest in having a conversation with the recipient, just want to get our message across, Because that's the way i feel about those who use texting on a regular basis to comunicate, and IMHO the reason many youngsters have no idea how to engage in real world conversations, when face to face with the recipient.
    Yes, lets go that way!

    Perhaps not all of them - I'm still a member of said forum and a regular poster . As Marco says, a number of people who were primarily interested in arguing for the sake of it (when they actually had nothing new to contribute) have stopped posting but you do still get some repetitive posting - that's the nature of the beast I'm afraid; it's the same people every time so I just ignore them.

    Regarding topic drift, I would say that this forum suffers significantly less than many and, on the whole, the moderation works very well (but then there are a lot of moderators ).
