Same here, but I think the reason is that no one would use the official one if this one stayed open, although it has been improving I still prefer this forum, layout, posting and visibility is much better here I think. Notice how I refrained from mentioning the colour scheme
Be nice if it was left open for those that don't want to use the official one, although perhaps they could change the colour scheme on is site to dissuade people.
This site has usually been sitting open on its own window on my desktop for probably most days of the last 5 or 6 years. It's led to a lot growth and humbling moments for me. Even though I've only met one person from the board in person I feel like there are people on here that I'll be on the lookout for or years to come and who I definitely wish to meet and make music with.
In no particular order, special thanks to:
Andy Nils Toni Radek Marianna Polyslax Terekith High sage Emnine Encym How dragons dissapear Ignatius Ookpik Swiv Circus of mind Preview lounge Indigo fire Darrenager Mome rath
And Hundreds of other really good people .
Biggest thanks to Ryan.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone on the new site.
OP-1 and Ableton Live (everything else is waiting for studio renovations...which are slow since I'm doing it)
Re:Farewell Elektron Users 10 Years, 6 Months ago
I guess these are the last days that we can actively post here. This forum was definitely my number one music related place to be over the last 4-5 years, since I got hooked onto the Elektron way.
I would say that this forum helped make Elektron gear what it is today, through all the informative posts, questions, answers, how-to's, guides, techniques, friendly atmosphere, etc. Ryan's legacy.
Hopefully, the new forum will continue the same way (I'm less concerned about fonts, colour schemes, iOS compatibility, and wasted blank space...as long as the same kind of people join in and keep this community aspect going, it should all be good). See you all at the rocket ship...
