Audio Asylum Down?

[Sandy G]

Seems like if I remember correctly, once when WE had server woes, a few of them were happy about it...You know, "The great AudioKarma is down !!...N'yah, n'yah !!..." sort of thing..Other than a few good natured jabs about their server's rubber band breaking, WE haven't really done that...Uhh, not yet, anyway...<grin>

I suspect this thread will get locked quicky if we do resort to such shenanigans, Sandy.

Since there are a number of people here with "dual citizenship" in both AA and AK, I think that the dissing of AK is done with tongue in cheek. It's basically the same sort who's in both, anyway, at least with Vintage Asylum.

If it were an issue with a tape drive, wouldn't it be an 8-track, anyway?

As of now, I can't access AA.

Even worse is that I can't seem to log into Audiogon, even though I established a username and password. Maybe they have a cheapskate detector somewhere that blocks the wrong sort.

AA's back up (1:50 EDT)

OK everybody, go over to AA and see all the posts you missed out on.

AA does have some valuable info...

I frequent 6 forums for my audio information. I believe each of them have something to offer, even if I don't like their entire content. :nono:

Why are people posting about the status of Audio Asylum on these forums? I for one could care fooking less.

I think its great that folks find their way here when their "native" forum is down. In fact, the Klipsch forum had server issues earlier this year, and a number of their members found their way here to commiserate. On thing lead to another, and we now have a fairly active Klipsch section on this site.

yea about the above quotation, why bother posting in a thread that you don't care about to say that you don't care about it? talk about useless. anyway it's a solid place, got to watch out so your posts dont hit the archiver but a great resource.

**** happens especially with servers and such. I'm sure they will be back on the air soon.

Thought it was maybe my problem as I just upgraded my Linux system and browser. As for the site, many of us here are also members there. I have seen threads there that mention here and they do not dice the group here or the site. Maybe we could learn from them: 1) some manners, 2) tolerance of others, 3) consideration for another site that has as much useful information as here and at times more and better and 4) some sympathy for their distress as we may experience it here and I'm sure no one would appreciate such shots.

I personally welcome any audio related site such as AK and AA and only wish there were more that attracted as many knowledgeable persons as these do.

Trolls

My main gripe with AA would be the number of trolls.

I've a well developed sense of humour,but the humourless troll-like nature of some responses on this thread I find dissappointing and untrue to the nature of AK. :thumbsdn:

I know that if someone of the likes of EW(who also posts on AA) posted this thread,there would be little of the trolling because of the respect which is accorded EW.Respect which is well deserved,but respect which basically should be accorded to anyone who is posting in a non-insulting fashion on any reasonable topic. :thmbsp:

If people want to discuss why this or that site is down on AK thats cool but please no dissing. Been there done that and its non productive to either site..

Audio Asylum is back online on 7 OCT @ 19:15 EDT

Vinatage Asylum is back online :yes:

 

[spkrman57]

My observation is....

If people want to discuss why this or that site is down on AK thats cool but please no dissing. Been there done that and its non productive to either site..

Most of the well informed individuals peruse and contribute to several forums.

Many times have I referenced other sites on this forum, and I have referred to this forum on other sites.

It depends on the nature of the question/comment at hand!

Just my 2 cents worth!

You guys can relax... I fixed AA.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

...a few good natured jabs...

Yeah, we were just funnin'. (Or at least, I was.)

 

[Brudha]

Looks to me like members were given the 'green light' on dissing on account of the succession of some of the very first posts' user titles (in this thread)..........

 

[grumpy]

Huh ?

 

[Sandy G]

Hey, I most certainly wasn't "dissing" them. It's a free country, they can speak of anything they want as far as I'm concerned. I've only been there a couple of times, but I DIDN'T find the comradery & respect for each other that we have here. But, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks...

I don't frequent AA, because they won't let me join. I found AA long before I found AK, and even way back then, no matter how many times I tried, they refused to authorize an account or even reply to e-mails. Eventually, I found this place and stopped trying over there. Haven't looked in on them for a long time... are they still using that ummm... minimalist software?
