T_Shomaker Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 I made a new forum for us to talk on a little bit more freely. I just don't like all of the rules on here sometimes and thought I would like a little bit more freedom. I know there are some other people would like some more freedom too so I thought I would try to do something about it. When you first go to the website there will be a couple pop ups the first few clicks. After the first few clicks normally there are no more popups. Maybe if some people join I could upgrade the software so there would be no popups or ads at all. I would like to invite everybody here to join and hopefully this forum works too. I will post here but like I said sometimes I just want a little more freedom. Here is the link: http://www.xsorbit2.com/users/theaudioforum/index.cgi Thanks, Taylor Quote
nicholtl Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Hey, pretty cool! Wow, I must say I'm more and more impressed by young people's internet skillz nowadays. You're what, 14, and you know how to create message boards? My sister is 16, and she knows how to design webpages. And I thought I was pretty slick with computers. I remember when I was in 8th grade science class, the teacher asked "who here has heard of email?" I was the only one who raised my hand. How times have changed. Anyways, I just signed up. I just wanna ask though, since you are a relatively clear headed and polite fellow, is this new forum of yours really for people to talk more freely, or was it more of an attempt to create a board without trolls? Cause my interpretation of "freely" means swearing, talking however one pleases, and basically, a "lack" of a moderator, so to speak. PS - I don't seem to be getting a new registration email...maybe my junk filter killed it...maybe you can PM me my password? Quote

There will be no cursing or anything like that. I won't shut down threads because of politics and things like that. There will be moderation there but I hope that it won't be needed. Thank you for signing up I hope that this forum works. It really isn't that hard to make a forum I think anyone could do it if they know how to use a computer. Quote
T_Shomaker Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 Okay I have 6 members right now. I guess that's a start Quote
T_Shomaker Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 If you go onto the site you would see that there may be some raffles sometime soon on the forum but I'm going to need more people to join. That should get some more members Quote

I'm suprised 100 people didn't sign up when I mentioned the possiblity of a raffle sometime. As of right now there are 7 members on the forum. Quote
fini Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I will drop by the next couple of days and test your looser rules Just kidding! Quote
T_Shomaker Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 I think the host website might be down right now because I can't get into the website Quote
Cleve Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 There's a major virus/hack attack taking place on the Internet right now. It's slowing a lot of sites. Make sure your virus definitions are updated... apparently if a site is successfully infected, it can then infect unprotected machines accessing the site. Quote
Rdmarsiii Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 This isnt good, I completely forgot to put my virus protection stuff on here... Quote
T_Shomaker Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 The host site was messed up but now it is fine. There are now 9 members on there. Quote
T_Shomaker Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 We now have 10 members and are hoping to get a lot more. We have decided to let people curse to a certain extent so it might be easier to get your point across sometimes. Quote
nicholtl Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Thank god some of us, like Taylor, are still advocates of freedom of speech. Seems like our president who swore an oath to uphold the bill of rights and our constitution is now trying to write discrimination and censorship into it. Quote
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Ex-employee Posted June 25, 2004 Klipsch Employees Posted June 25, 2004 The freedom of speech is a fine thingbut remember, when you go into a court house, place of business, someone elses house, ect..if what you say is not liked, you can and will be ask to leave (sometimes even removed). The same is true here. THIS IS OUR FORUM, IF YOU DONT WANT TO PLAY BALL WITH US, TAKE YOUR BALL AND GO HOME. Quote
T_Shomaker Posted June 26, 2004 Author Posted June 26, 2004 I agree with you 100% Trey and I'm not trying to rebel or anything from the forum I just want a little place for people to be able to say what they want(to a certain extent) Quote

T_Shomaker Posted June 26, 2004 Author Posted June 26, 2004 Well the new forum just went to crap, Dean joined Quote
