Trey LaCroix Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have learned more about Production Sound from this site than I could ever convey. I so appreciated, and still appreciate, fifteen years of threads to go though about every conceivable topic from contributors who have a respect for the job and a respect for each other. I learned about the gear and more importantly I learned how to act. This is something that I never would have been able to do in Facebook where things come and go within a day or so. Thank you Jeff for creating such a educational and fun place to discuss and learn. You truly have made a difference in our industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept it private but was dragged in and personally insulted. I prefer to stay away from such people. Thank you for letting free flow of ideas on your great group! Actually, there IS an issue if you started this topic with a hidden agenda (well maybe not so hidden anymore) --- I welcome, of course, the majority of the posts here that have praised the site, celebrated its longevity and usefulness for so many, and those who have re-affirmed that it isn't Facebook and that is a good thing. From now on, at least in this topic thread, let's keep the personal battles or disagreements out of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izen Ears Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 We all know Facebook has detrimental effects on people. We also know that Rado loves to be controversial and outspoken. Those two ingredients do not make a very tasty meal. Rado you must remember your first year on this site? Constantly being told to calm down and stop bragging about your $100,000 computer job. I’m sorry you got banned from the group, but that’s no need to start bringing that crap back here. This site is pure gold. One of the very few offerings on the Internet that is truly worthwhile and life-changing. No like buttons, no badges, no site sponsored popularity contests. Pure gold! Jeff you have accomplished something truly special and personally touching with this forum. Something almost no one can say these days. Thank you a million times over for the site!

Second. I met the guy who invented the like button at linked in convention. He was pretty upset that he created it to spread love but it caused teenagers to kill themself.

Jspeer Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I am very happy a classic forum exists and it is reliable and full of an active userbase. Facebook is nice that everything is all in one place...but does a really poor job at organizing all of that information. I have seen many forum communities become hollow husks in todays era, and people keep "moving forward" to "better solutions" when they really just want a forum experience again. Thanks for sticking with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanross Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 This is a great site the information here is invaluable. I should get back in here more. I did get sucked into all the Facebook groups over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 FB I have found to be a great time waster for me. JW is usually the most clear and concise way to discuss production sound, the latest gear, wonderful DIY, and the buy and sell is first rate. my .02 worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Facebook is a terrible company. From anything ranging from invasive privacy policies to having a monopolistic domination of the advertising industry (which they abuse) to literally helping genocides happen overseas (Burma) to have helped violent, misinformation spread in groups alongside allowing targeted advertising to provoke those groups, including allowing advertises from overseas promote misinformation to try to shift elections to the cambridge analytica scandal to.... the list goes on and on and on and on. By having an account on Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp, you're financially empowering them to continue to allow all of these above things to continue on (and who knows what else in the future).

I agree. And it's a shame that many companies are relying on Facebook for customer communication instead of setting their own systems. Of course it's cheaper. It reminds me a bit of the situation with the Flash plugin. I always refused to install it because of critical security and privacy issues and sometimes visiting the websites of pro audio manufacturers without it was a real nightmare. Of course Facebook is worse, their behavior seems to be outright criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
