1. It will stagger on until Norb forgets to pay the site-host fee, when it will fall unceremonously into a heap?
2. AU will become the hangout for all the other audio sites' rejects?
3. All the current AU "mob" will come over and ...

If we vintage folks come over here, the way we did from audio review, where the vintage forum practically shriveled up and died after we moved over.
I like this message board format, so we could easily become the same community that was at AU.

oh I dunno - if a site with few posters only gets smaller, then it kind of makes one think about how some of the big forums started out.
it could pick up - maybe be another AR, or maybe have a different crew.
Well for it to pick up, it needs someone to take the tillar as it were.
Unfortunately Norb has gone (busy with his new job), and the thing is just drifting sideways. I mean look at the home page - links to pages which haven't been updated since last year!!:eek:
The YaBB software is inferior to vB IMO, and there have been glitches in it with no one around any longer to restore posts, fix errors etc.
I wish AU well, but it just never took off unfortunately ... :(

No posts since yesterday....on any forum....strange.
Where's Sixcats anyways? :confused:
I think everyone else is here.
I think with sixcats difficulties he only gets online sparingly, I am sure he will find his way here ;)

Well I'm very much a creature of habit and I find changing sites a little disrubtive but our moves in the past have always worked out for the better and I'm sure this will not be any different in that regards. I guess the lesson here is that the 'real' forum in the members not the site it's hosted from.
Long live the vintage people :cool:

i've noticed some 'new' monikers i didn't see at AU, but i seldom visited the other forums.
too bad about the waste over at AU, there is a whole lotta good info in those back posts on a whole lotta questions.
pete, eternally a newbie :dunno:
