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.

I have no significant technical complaints after four years of heavy use. My core is a Roon Nucleus. I have to reboot my core maybe twice a year. Loading up new zones is slower for me now when I open the app, which is a slight annoyance, but I do have a lot of zones.

The one time I had a serious problem, I received good direct support after posting my data in the Roon forum.

Overall it's a great product and I frequently marvel at the fact I can have such great technology at my fingertips.
