i remember when i first started reading headwize, that there would always be these long talks about how each headphone is driven best and specifically by a certain amplifier and the goods/bads of each amplifier with each headphone, etc..
now, the answer to everything is "meta42!" i too am very sick of the threads asking about this and it seems really silly that this is the only forum that i know of which has not one single faq. we get the same questions over and over and over.. and then when a thread that actually has some new news comes around, it gets closed because somebody mentions the r10/k501/ra-1/etc or the idea of selling a product.
i hate the "darkest desires" thread in the music forum. everytime i see somebody post in it again, i hope for a major hard drive crash on the head-fi servers so that the thread can die and be forgotten forever. i don't know why, but i hate it.
any thread that is over four pages on this forum either sucks horribly (always the truth of any forum in my opinion, i can't stand reading four thousand posts that are two sentences long and have to navigate through sixteen pages to get three posts of actual news), or is closed quickly.
i don't understand peoplw whining about "thread crapping." the world sucks. get a helmet. anytime i actually have an interesting conversation with any of my friends, we go from one subject to the next rather quickly. a forum is basically a conversation consisting of statements and retorts from many angles and many opinions. someday you're going to have to face the fact that society today has an attention span of a few seconds and a lot of people say what naturally comes to them (myself included). it's the internet, it allows a little more freedom without involving (usually) race/age/religion/whatever, so most people don't exactly care about anyone else's feelings, including the authors of a thread that is supposed to stay refined to a certain subject. grow up. if a "thread gets crapped on," the world will continue going, as well as conversations about headphones.
i think it sucks when people try to sell their audio equipment for retail price when it's used. just seems ****ty to me.
i also think it's stupid to post your ebay auction in the for sale thread. i think it's fine when people on here post auctions they find on ebay and wherever, but when they just start a thread to plug themselves i think "wow, what a jackass." however, i enjoy seeing people attempting to sell something in the for sale forum and after a week or two without any bites, post their auction on ebay and then get them sold. that's totally fine with me, since there's already a thread and it's just an update. that's just how i see it though.
also, spam is the devil and i think i got my first spam message from this forum the other day. something about diy cd mastering. what a lamo. go get a ****ing job.
don't worry sports fans, i'm sure i'll come up with more later.
