Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it


I just had to post this somewhere, and their moderators won't allow it on the Roon forum.  Just so people know, it is not an open forum when it comes to comments about Roon or its stability.  

Their moderators edit and delete posts.  It can get a little Orwellian.  

There are users that have identified severe resource leaks or situations where the Roon software pegs a single core in a CPU until Roon has to restart, causing drop-outs in audio as well as very slow responsiveness.  

The moderators must all be severe fanboys.  

Take it for what it's worth.  I just want potential users to understand they may not get the most complete picture by reviewing the Roon forum.  And sure, I understand that moderators moderate.  When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail.

As an IT Pro I've seen many ultra-frustrating issues that seem so severe that you think many others have to be seeing them too.  But there are often issues that only "certain" people see due to "who the hec knows what".  You'd be surprised how often the creators of the products that have these issues also have no idea what's going on.  It's because we've created systems we can't truly fully understand.  MS Windows is good example of this.  It's literally too complex to manage 100%.  Spit-balling is often utilized to solve problems.  Then if it works they move on never really understanding what was going on.  Good luck @jji666 !!!

There was a time when I, used to develop/program, would have said that the open source concept would produce tons of problems.  Intuitively it would seem so right?  But the opposite is the case.  I've had less trouble with open source applications than commercially/corporate generated software by a huge margin!  That ole profit margin will gitcha! lol
