Not that long ago some threads made me look back at some of what I'd said so many years ago. I wound up going off on a tangent & reading other threads, some which I'd never seen; others I'd passed over.
I wasn't searching for anything in particular. Waxing nostalgic perhaps?
About one week ago there was a new reply to a thread I started in 2005. That's six years ago so I went back and reread the entire thread. It was very entertaining and informative. Amazing how much you can learn here.
I'll re-visit old threads to see if I owe anyone a reply or to just read and catch up. I like looking through the archives because there is a lot of info in there.
I returned to this great hobby about 3 years ago. Without all of the various audio forums available to me on the internet my education would be stunted. I have learned so much from many threads that I return to week after week. With the many thoughts and ideas from the authors my humble system continues to surprise me after I try another tweak or another experiment.
Absolutely1 I find many interesting and well informed topics that have educated me and expanded my knowledge base. It`s also cause me to appreciate and seek out certain member`s posts for their consistent high quality contributions.
Many are deleted or unavailable. This site goes in circles. Balanced, XLR, RCA, passive, active, damping factor etc just repeat endlessly in repeated threads.
Visiting is one thing. Answering/posting to an old thread is another that wastes peoples time when thry look at the date. Imagine if someone added to a Bob Crump post?
I sometimes research an informative answer. I will go back and see and read all the answers this Poster has answered. I would think this is pretty common.
What I find hysterically funny is when someone resurrects an old thread (and, sometimes, they're REALLY old), and answers it as if the last post were just a couple of hours ago.
I am trying to access older threads about streaming which is what I need help with. However I can’t figure out how to see threads that are archived. Just current ones ?? jolywins
@jolywinsI don’t think there is an “archived” threads section within the forum. When I’m looking for older threads on a certain topic I usually use the search function and the “sort by date” and “sort by title only” functions.
Thank you. I will see what that does and probably with some searching through related topics I will come across knowledgeable experiences. It’s neat to have so much information available.
I look through the threads when I have time. I'm pretty new here so there's a lot of information out there and I appreciate all of the knowledge shared. I just wish I had more time to peruse the forum.
