phorum future
I am curious how much longer it can keep up like this? If there is anything we could do to help?
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

Re: phorum future
something told me to pop in today. dont know how to answer that question. we need to get it back out, problem is could it be the gear itself? how is PG nowadays. i lost touch with them after we gave up the line back in 16.
You may have subs in your car........but my doors sound better!
Re: phorum future
I’m seeing some spam on here now and discussion seems quite muted. I think Facebook has taken all of the wind from these sails.
A few of these and a few of those.

Re: phorum future
This place has been slow for awhile. PG took our link off of their homepage, and as a result, our page rank dropped from the first page to the 4th in Google. Also Facebook picking up, forums declining in general, and a bunch of key users moving out and having kids... *ahem*. It is what it is. But I will keep it running as a memento, as long as I can!
Apologies for the spam. Since the forum software upgrades, my custom captcha that asked people to differentiate "speakers" from "amplifiers" no longer works. As such I had to fall back on default reCaptcha v2/v3. But even tuning it to 90% certainty, bots were leaking through. I set it to the absolute highest possible setting now. Hopefully we don't see them again. Otherwise i'll have to see if there is a new custom captcha that works on the new version.

Re: phorum future
Looks like the increased spam settings were too hardcore. I removed recaptcha v3 and brought in a custom new sorting option. We'll see how that goes for a bit. Hopefully it keeps the spammers out, without rejecting the cool peeps...
Re: phorum future
if there is any way I can help let me know. I have been making some changes personally and I am not nearly as much of a grump asshole as I use to be

Re: phorum future
I just joined tonight. Many know me from the Facebook pages. I’d like to see the phorum stay alive. It almost feels more private than Facebook.
I immediately saw that things are purged after 6 months. We probably shouldn’t do that. That’s how I’ve found most of my collection is from stagnant adds. Troubleshooting questions also are good references.
I’ll be here for a bit and give it a whirl.

Re: phorum future
I didn't realize threads were getting purged after 6 months, that's not good. I also agree that this is a more private place than Facebook. I left Facebook years ago because of the misinformation and extremists. It was great while it lasted, but its dead to me now.Whataboutbob wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 4:53 pm I just joined tonight.

Re: phorum future
I find social media to be what you make it. For example my instagram is all about cars and I rarely get any political drama/bs on it. Now facebook I keep it a little more open for what people I friend but I still do not friend just anyone.
The purge thing does suck, we use to have some great articles.

Re: phorum future
Is this site still functional ? I tried to post a question earlier today after accidentally finding this site but as yet have had no response from it. It tells me it must be approved by an Moderator but I cannot seem to contact a Moderator, did find an Administrator but still nothing heard back.
Re: phorum future
I can fully understand why the site seems to be dying, no replies, no responses from anyone anywhere.....
Re: phorum future
if ya only knew how busy it use to be.

Re: phorum future
Here is an idea...
Maybe we pick a day once a month, like the first Friday, or the last Sunday, or something along those lines, where we try to get as many members to show up and get some threads going.
Now that I have a smartphone, I bet I could set it up to remind me when I need to be on the forum each month.
Right now someone will post a question, then a few months later get a response, and then a few months after that they respond back.
I remember the days of 20 posts generated in 5 minutes when several people were arguing passionately about a topic with absolutely zero relevance to mankind...

No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.
Hands down the forum's most ignorant member...
Don't even know what Ohm's law is...
