Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics


I'm increasingly disturbed by the number of threads that have been ruined lately by non-OP's who have been here decades with thousands of posts and yet seem obsessed with taking discussions off-topic. While I'm not dismissing the notion that everything matters in hifi (including friendly chit-chat), it seems that this off topic blather vastly overwhelm thread topics that clearly would have more influence to hifi audio sound.     

If some unsuspecting newbie were to stumble onto this forum they would likely come away thinking that unrelenting banter is the most important element towards obtaining wonderful hifi sound. This is unfortunate. For example, well all of them! Just watch, I bet they will do it to this one too! Even thought they already have one tailor made for echo chamber blather, they will not be able to help themselves and pollute this one as well. Just watch! 

Is it just me?

First of all. Guilty.
Now that that's out of the way, I don't think any amount of discussion will change things in a meaningful way. The only thing I've ever seen that kept any online forum clean and troublefree was serious and consistent moderation. And that's a tiresome chore for those involved. In lieu of that, I can do my part.
