Gotta move on......

[karmathanever]

Hi everyone

I now seem to have little option but, after 20 years, to pullout of the Forums.

Why? ..you may ask (I’m sure you’ll not be too surprised):-

• My Admin privileges were removed when the “New look” forums returned (after the long outage) so I was no longer able to assist members in the same way.
• I have not been able to contact the owner for a very very long time having tried many times.
• The Forums site is still very insecure and so many great members have had their membership hacked with inappropriate posts (became impossible to keep up with).
• Everything I click on takes 45 seconds to respond. So, for example, removing a single hacker who has just posted 30 inappropriate across several forum sections would take me more than 2 hours…. etc…

I will keep my membership and drop by from time to time.

I wish you all a fabulous ongoing musical life and am so grateful for all the help and friendship over the past 20 years.

Take GREAT care

Pete

Hi Pete.

Sad to see how this forum goes these days, and even more sad to see knowledgeable and helpful members leave.
Here is a huge amount of great posts and info that may be lost if forum continue downwards as we see it happen.

Pete, I think you will be more than welcome if you peek into https://yamahamusicians.com/forum/index.php
There is a dedicated Korg part that was created as an alternative when this one was down and people wondered if it ever would be back.

See you there?

"There is always a home for karmathanever as moderator here at our forums. His expertise would be very welcome."

Hopefully, we will see you over there, Pete.

Welcome aboard Pete!

The slowness of the forum isn't a major issue here. I find it is often convenient to open up a Notepad window and type replies into that, to avoid the forum timeout from losing an answer, especially if that answer takes a while to verify that it actually works in practice.

I plan on sticking around here for a while.
