Gentlemen, HTGuide was a forum before Club B & W and it will likely be a forum after Club B & W is gone, that is if it looses popularity at some point.
Club B & W was established to give you a place to talk about B & W speakers. It was not established to discuss amps, pre-pros, cables and sources. It's a narrow focus I know. But if clubs and the rest of the forum are to succeed, there simply must be dividing lines. Otherwise, it's like a party where everyone goes off to a private room, and no one stays in the main room. Suddenly, the main part of the house isn't much of a party... Does that make sense?
While I realize it's difficult to put speakers in a vaccum by their self. I'm not going to leave this area as a Skeet Shoot for everything audio at the expense of our audio and home theater forums.
I or staff, will in the future either lock, move, or delete at our option threads that drift off the primary topic of B & W speakers. I realize some synergy issues will evolve as discussions occur, and to a point, that's fine. Just please be aware of our desire to not have this be a complete audio forum with amp posts, source posts, cable posts, and so on.
Apparently Scarp took offense to my original post here saying I would lock the next thread that was about amps, locked the threads about amps below, deleted his own posts, and quit. I'm very disappointed that he chose to do this when all I was trying to do, was keep Club B & W on topic. But I as owner and administrator will effectively assist keeping forums on topic always. As long as it's my forum I will.
My intent was never to lock the 3 or 4 threads below on amps. I was planning to allow those, but with notice that the practice wasn't to continue in this area. Amp posts belong in audio. So, now we lost a good moderator over this, and it's eating into my time more and more. Please insure that this doesn't happen again with the next moderator if anyone decides to take this area on.
