Quote from: Spotted Horses on May 08, 2024, 08:41:45 AMI'm also registered but non-participating there. TC is fine, but I find the format non-ideal because it is divided into far to many sub-boards, which makes it hard for me to keep track of what is being discussed.
The real problem (besides the ads) is that despite too many sub-boards 80% or so is still in the main board and the mods usually don't sort these threads into the subboards, probably because this would hurt traffic.

Quote from: Glass FX on May 08, 2024, 08:06:20 AMWell, this forum has changed and not for the better. I'm going back to the other forum. Bon voyage.

I would expect someone who once called himself 'Mirror Image' to be more reflective, rather than just reflexive.

Indeed. He seems to have wished himself Bon voyage. I mean: we're all staying ....

He seems to subscribe to the philosophy that "the universe is a dream I am having." When he leaves us, our existence ceases. I am starting to feel my existence becoming tenuous. :)

Same.  I've had an account there for a decade or more.  But yeah hard to navigate, and at least at the time I thought it was too cliquey.

Quote from: steve ridgway on May 08, 2024, 08:34:30 AMDo you get more likes on TC? I signed up a while ago out of curiosity when there was some discussion of the most prolific poster there but never actually posted anything myself.
It has heavier traffic, so I'd say posts typically get more "likes" there than here. It's pretty sad that some people need "likes" to feel validated.

It amused me to click like on your post! ;D

Haha, well, they don't define my life but I do appreciate them--mainly knowing I might have helped someone.

They do cause a little dopamine infusion. That's what the social media economy is built on.

It's too long to type and paste here, but if you have a copy of Sense and Sensibility handy, read the opening of Volume 3, Chapter 14.

I may have an inkling about why John left so unexpectedly --- but his action was hugely disrespectful towards all those who gave him such a warm welcome back and expressed delight at his return.  Almost makes me regret that I was one of them.

Did someone step on his toes or did he take the step by himself?

I believe the latter to be the case.

Sorry to have missed MI as well. Is this just a GMG trait or classical music fans in general where they enjoy clucking away like some old hens. There is a human on the other end of the screen not ChatGPT. Now the second time I've noticed that after my posts about getting Bachtoven his account back.

Yes I see the irony of my post but I am going to call it as I see it.
