L-1?

[fonik]

hi guys, i did not see L-1 announcing his new DIY mixer project here at electro-music.com? he did at muff's.

i think i have to blow off some steam. sorry for this. i mean, he just comes into the forum's to announce and sell PCBs, he could do that using an online store, couldn't he? he did not contribute anything else to the members of this forum. no questions, no answers outside his own PCB selling threads... this is not the spirit i wanted to see here. at least i am trying to contribute.

if you don't think my perception and way of seeing this is appropriate, feel free to comment on this. i am really curious what you guys think. maybe i am just misguided?

Personally I feel we have to tolerate guys who are only selling PCBs or kits, by allowing them to post. But I completely agree, they contribute nothing to the site, unlike you Mattias who contributes a lot to the site.

if they pollute Muff's and leave us alone I'm not going to waste tears over it. These forums tend to be more technical and less "oooh shiny!".

That's my opinion though.

L-1? did I mis something?

[fonik]

actually not, jan. he only announced one project here:
http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?highlight=vca&t=51088

he did not get too much response here at music-electronics.com anyways... obviously he felt that he had not the right attitude to make his debut in the DIY forum here.
it is just me currently pissed off by his attitude (as shown over at muff's), and i had to vent this

has not been the right place, actually. sorry.

Ah ok, venting is good

I can kind of sympathize with you guys. I mean really, this is basically an online club....we just leave the door open all the time. Of course the problem is that with the good people that wander in, we also get our share of bad folks. On the other hand, I've found a couple guys that I suggested post here to sell their stuff. I can't remember who else, but Derek Enos of the deMIDulator was one of them. But in all instances, it was after I had built a little relationship with the guys and knew they were the kind of people we generally like here. I asked them to drop my name in their post and if they didn't, I would post a endorsement.

I think a lot of newer folks just assume this isn't a club and it's an open public forum. I think that's why they get a little pissed when we ask not to publish trade marked items and we try to protect device creators from exploitation (even if it is "legal", its just not ethical). They need to realize this is a club and not some gross file sharing site where there are no rules.
