You need to venture out of the basement more often, Doug. We're all upstairs, (usually) discussing grownup stuff. Ask Ed, he knows. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that about 45 years ago and decided adulting was too hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep this friendly gaslighting in mind next time you report some spam or personal attacks. No way am I talking about you Dave . Your one of the good guys when it comes to the mods around here .

PhonoBrainer Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Nobody needs my analogies this morning, but What we have in this Forum is the Shire . . . thanks to the good Hobbits and the most often excellent moderators, wizards like Gandalf and elvish kings like Elrond. Without these fair moderators, and the integrity of the hobbits and dwarves and such, we would likely see the Shire overrun by trolls and orcs. Occasionally, in some other distant forum land, we hear of a moderator turned into a Saruman. Scary but not insurmountable. I could go on, but you get the gist. Take the metaphor as far as you want. To save you all time, it ends up with Zuckerberg being Sauron. Edited July 29, 2021 by PhonoBrainer 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Sbor Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 So dear Larry you came back to the KVR and how did you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I find KVR to be absolutely useless these days. And many “administrators” are like condo board presidents- people who’ve had no opportunity to exert any power in their lives, and when they finally do, go berserk. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why so negative? I find it quite useful. Sometimes people give away licenses for free. You can buy and sell licenses. You can communicate with Uncle E from JRR shop to ask questions about deals. Some deals get posted there first and sometimes only there. Software developers keep you informed about their products and answer questions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contested the ban...and had everyone I knew over there complain, so they lifted the ban. One of the overzealous forum Administrators banned me because he said that I was a "commercial dealer", and that was simply not true. I only sell personal licenses that I have purchased myself. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably only banned you because his wife said he spends too much on your deals! 😂 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwise Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Maybe instead of trying to persuade people that you are not a dealer you should already become one? Then you won't have to fight false allegations and can make a living from what you do out of good will intentions. I bet, most developers and manufacturers would be hard pressed to find a better dealer. Edited March 7 by Soundwise 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do what I do because of the music and the people, and that is plenty enough reward for me! 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
