FYI
I would use this site more if it supported picture and audio attachments (like some other sites). I would also be more likely to refer it to others. Audio is the meat of what we do. Not being able to post recorded samples or pictures of mic placements is a real hindrance. Linking off-site is a hassle and less secure.
Cheerio.

Great idea, and I agree with you (hopefully, I wouldn't use the board *more* though),
BUT...
You're asking a lot of a free board, hosted by a free mag. You're putting Larry on the hook for possibly thousands of dollars a month [more] in hosting costs. Do you see the traffic this site gets?
PS Not to mention the liability of hosting all the copyrighted content that the a-holes and idiots would post all the time. (I suspect this is the real reason)

Where there is a will, there's a way.
In case you guys hadn't caught the memo, this is the section where people post "comments or issues with this board". Glad to see you are encouraging other forum members to give feedback.
I posted some mic comparisons on another board about an hour ago. Wish I could have posted them here instead!

Re: Where there is a will, there's a way.
I told you that I agreed with you that that would be super cool. I was trying to give you a perspective that you might not have thought of before about why you might never see that happen here. Your comment is there for Larry et al to ponder, and I'm absolutely positive that my nay saying won't stop them from jumping on it if they're so inclined.norsehorse wrote:In case you guys hadn't caught the memo, this is the section where people post "comments or issues with this board".

Welcome to the board. I think mic comparisons would be more welcome than board feature requests, as a general rule.

Re: Where there is a will, there's a way.
I see what you're saying. BUT, it's only a couple of steps more to upload your files to a free hosting site and post the links here. I'm always interested in gear comparison tests and wish I would see more around here.norsehorse wrote:In case you guys hadn't caught the memo, this is the section where people post "comments or issues with this board".
