Why I really appreciate What's Best Forum

Angela · Jan 18, 2011

I was looking at discussions that involved Roger's company on another forum this weekend and I was saddened to see all the malarkey that continues to be perpetuated by many of the audiophiles posting. No wonder so many are so confused and don't know where to turn to get true information and not be taken in.

I find it so refreshing that actual facts are discussed here and explored by its members and in a respectful and intelligent way. Congrats to the founders, its moderators, and its members.

With the costs involved in this industry, it gives me hope that audiophiles CAN be smart about how they spend all that money.

Keep it up. I am telling everyone I know about this forum.

Happy New Year!
Angela

Thanks for the kind words and participation Angela. It goes without saying that the great articles that Roger has written is part of what makes our forum more meaningful. Great to be partnering with you and Roger on this journey

Angela, it is my intent to pull all of Roger's great posts and put them in one forum and make a sticky out of them. Give me a few days

Bruce B · Jan 18, 2011

Yeah... this forum has a pretty good S/N ratio. Not too much you have to throw out!

RBFC · Jan 18, 2011

Thank you, Angela! It's a pleasure to feature solid and interesting material, and Roger has certainly produced a great deal here. We're happy to have you guys around.

Brilliant! That should be a slogan of some sort here.

and thanks (Amir, Steve, and Lee) for the kind words. That was NOT the intent of this thread, but a compliment is always appreciated.

Hail What's Best Forum!

New member here & from looking around this forum (the audio part anyway) I was pleasantly surprised to see the S/N ratio very high - unlike most other forums that discuss audio. From my time on other forums, it's the moderators & founder that ultimately determine this & you guys seem to have got it right. Well done guys! Keep it up this is an oasis in the WWW desert where both good technical information & the right amount of subjective info is allowed to stand side by side without the usual trench wars. I hope to learn & possibly add some small info if I can contribute.

Probably not the right place to add such a comment, but it's pleasing to see the numbers currently online going up. For those who haven't noticed, yesterday was a record again, 664 -- nicely done!

Thanks for noticing Frank

Everything is up by huge amounts here thanks to everyone here

The name of this place leads one to believe that it is exclusive or pretentious, or maybe a place that is centered on equipment, but that isn't what I have found. I find that it is largely about music, and music is what brings me to this hobby. Sure, I like good equipment; who doesn't? Still, we all started because of music, and we should never forget that simple truth. Fortunately, we are at a forum that constantly reminds us of that.

Well said Win! :b

* Frank, me too I noticed that more and more people are reading here at WBF.
And I am amazed to see more readers here online than at other audio sites
where they have up to twenty times more members!
That is quite incredible!

** I'm big on stats; and I usually keep a close eye. :b

I personally think that it's more about equipment, but I have seen an increase on the music side of things. Whatever the balance, I love coming here and do so every day. There also isn't a day that goes by whereby I don't learn something, and for me that is the WBF's greatest appeal. The knowledge-base here as compared to many other sites is beyond equal, and I find the membership to be one of the most helpful I've ever seen.

Keep up the great work guys, and to the general membership thanks for letting me chime in on some of your discussions!

Of all the forums I've visited, I must say this one (WBF) is THE Best. The rest of the forums mainly serve the interests of the moderators. Over here whatever one posts, it comes on immediately! This forum certainly propagates free speech and shows great maturity.

Steve Williams · Jun 12, 2012

thanks, I do appreciate the comment as that is certainly what we strive to achieve here at WBF

That's the reason why I said this is the best audio forum in the universe! Look at the number of audio experts here. Are they in the other forums?

--- I fully agree with you Thf99. I frequent quasi all the audio forums of the world on the Internet, and so many of them are without true substance, or real respect, or intelligence.

I have been searching for many years to expand my audio/video horizons, and in high average generality WBF is way up there in that league to provide. :b
There is no denying on the quality of the membership here; high level of maturity, respect, knowledge, intelligence, expertise, friendly sharing, and free advice.

And when you have that, what do you think it creates? Encouragement to even bettering yourself further; that's what What's Best Forum's all about.

...In my book anyway. :b

Amen, Bob.
