No disrespect to Roy, but, I think he should take on a more respected moniker. I can appreciate the "Chiefbonehead" name as modest, but it doesn't fit well with the educated Klipsch buyer. Read the fine print, he is not just a bonehead but the 'Chief' bonehead. Not good enough, how about: Mr. Chief Bonehead? Sir Chief Bonehead? Chief Bonehead P.E.? The Supreme Chief Bonehead? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have a vested interest in if he changes his name or not but Trey shared a story in the deleted thread where Mr Delgado called someone on the forum "a bonehead" and they called customer service and complained. For the record, it is a derogatory comment and against the rules as stated in the TOS. {Note: Again, those need to be updated to include the new policy, imo.} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at that second sentence. There don’t seem to have been any focus groups to decide what Roy calls himself, so your suspicion (what you suspect) is based on nothing. Or are you guessing what a possible focus group assembled for this purpose would conclude? What other “market related data” are you referring to? Also, do you speak for “the educated Klipsch buyer”? Your post sets new marks for misconceptions per line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebse2a3 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 GOOD GRIEF…!!!! 🤪 Talk about sucking the life out of these forums…. Just keep it up guys.. !!! Maybe it would help if people stepped away from their keyboard and instead turned their attention to things that really mattered in life.

Islander Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I'm not sure if this is too off topic, but what happened to the volunteer (non-Klipsch) moderators, like Carl and dtel? Mallette is no longer with us, but did the other two quit, or were they told they were no longer needed? dwilawyer is still on the Forum, I think, or is he gone, too? Things seemed to work well when there were more hands available to keep the Forum running right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl quit. dtel only limited moderating, dwilawyer is "Travis in Austin," and he and "Chief Bonehead" are the only two remaining, afaik. Chad is only here to address internet problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm volunteering, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 ^This (again). Maybe all of the moderators don’t wear badges. Lounge is definitely on the chopping block if this stuff doesn’t stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Klipsch doesn’t care about the number of posts, they care about the quality of the content. If there are threads about Klipsch speakers, there are at least three other places they can be moved to (if required). Human beings are supposed to be good at pattern seeking/pattern recognition. Some here, not so much. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted September 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2022 On 9/26/2022 at 7:29 PM, Curious_George said: He represents a multi-million dollar company, what he thinks is OK, may not be suitable. It’s that simple. Again, I am suggesting a change to go hand in hand with the other changes. I'm on the Board of the Klipsch Museum with him, as is the President of Klipsch, and the Chairman of Voxx (Honorary Trustee), and I always refer to Roy as "Chief Bonehead" during Board Meetings. The Klipsch marketing machine designed things for the 1st Chief Bonehead Education class and came up with the name, Chief Bonehead's Deep Dive. When Roy does Klipsch Listening Lounge's, the name he types in is Chief Bonehead. Klipsch wouldn't let him change it even if he wanted to. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
