Original Garritan Music Forum Site


Recommended Posts

Did someone mention my name? :D If the Northern Sounds forum wasn't making any money, then of course, it would eventually go offline. It doesn't cost a ton for web hosting these days, but it does cost something. None of the "virtual real estate" here on the Net is permanent. Eventually, it'll all disappear or merge into one gigantic AI that will take over the world. 😧😁

I am not making a penny by maintaining my music website.  I pay for it because I have hopes that someone will listen to my music efforts and maybe enjoy at least some of it.  I am certainly not wealthy, so that doesn't factor into the equation.  I am eighty-six years old but that isn't important either.

Shut up, Larry, and get on with life!  😂

Hey Larry... yep, I hear ya. :) Northern Sounds was probably a business-oriented site though, so whomever was hosting it had no interest in keeping it alive without some kind of funding. I'm just guessing though. I don't know for sure.

You are entirely correct.  Maintenance of that website was woefully lacking.  Also,  Garritan abandoned it and, as far as I know, was never heard from again.

If said AI learns its personality from reading Coffee House posts, it's going to have an... interesting... personality

Good job Larry!!!

Only about 34 more years left to make music though... (If the genetic cap of 120 is to be believed!) 🙂👍

I was a contributing member of Northern Sounds (Garritan) since 2004.   

All of my original music compositions that I posted there are gone.

What a sad, disappointing ending.

Thank you for all of the information.

YouTube, Larry, get thee to youtube

LOL! Definitely, very interesting. 😁

 

That won't be AI, that would be AB (Artificial Buffoonery). 😉
