In my opinion this forum served a purpose:
- help elektron users out with technical problems
- provide them with tips and tricks
- share work
- discuss music related things
- meet likeminded and creative individuals
To me forums are not an open world system without rules and total freedom, there should be regime and moderation and people should adjust their way of communicating to the forum they participate in. That includes respecting censorship, humor within general accepted bounderies and being constructive to the above mentioned forums purposes.
An added bonus (when I first came here) was a very nice community, where nobody said what they wanted or tried to be funny, but just nerd around about (elektron)gear and their work. There's room for frustration, personal shit and offtopic discussions, maybe even a bit of politics and religion. And I enjoy spelling errors, being a foreigner myself and I don't really care about stupid or repetitive questions. I learned answering them is better than a 'rtfm' reply.. etcetera (point is, I am not a difficult forum member, nor person and I do not like to critique anybody's behaviour)
..the one thing me (chuck d and flavor flav) do not enjoy is garbage. And there's been too much of that for me!
so.. please MTV..
