Good times though! Seriously. I think my average posts per day (since the old vBulletin showed that) was over four. Now it doesn't seem to get four posts a day between everybody. But it's nice to see that they went with the same software that's used on LinusTechTips.com since the LTT crew obviously know how to make tech work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I work in tech now as a systems admin... It's more obvious to me now than ever that the people that can make decisions and the people that know what they're talking about usually aren't the same people. Nice to see that somebody finally listened here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to see that somebody finally listened here. You couldn't be more correct. Nothing irks me more than managers and business people making engineering decisions, knowing that in a few weeks or months myself and the other engineers will have to pick up the pieces. Funny how the engineers seem to take on the blame as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My experience has been that problems are caused equally by idiot/lazy business people and a lack of common sense and ability/desire to listen by technical people.

Members Emory 234 Posted July 21 Members Share Posted July 21 (edited) Where the heck did the user reviews go? I admit I'm a brain addled geezer.... but I can't find them User reviews are what made me come here first and now..... they're gone? Googled "Harmony central user reviews guitars" All the links (except for expert reviews) were posters complaining on other sites about the purge of reviews And they were mostly dated 2010 to 2013ish Killed the golden goose I'll have to remove HC from my quick links Sad Edited July 21 by Emory more info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
