And believe it or not, I would actually agree with that!

This particular forum has become somewhat of a watering hole for the regulars. Thus, I think it helps this forum to get some OT posts. Because there are not enough on-topic posts to keep it moving. I will live with whatever the webmaster's rules are on any forum but that is my opinion... you need movement or people lose interest.

The web changes SO fast, it's hard for any forum to thrive long-term.

Dennis, I was the one that posted about a friend's passing....but I thought it was perfectly okay..because Tom was a arranger performer for 30 years....and there were other SZoners that knew Tom..

Personally I do not see any problem with off topics posted in this General arranger forum...after all they are arranger users, and everyone knows each other...I agree with Bill..get picky about what is posted and you will have a lot less to get picky over in the near future...

Fran my comment was not directed at anyone in particular, so don't feel any need to explain what you did.

And I do not believe having death notices and all the other topics I mentioned moved to more appropriate locations is being "picky". That goes for new "gear" announcements as well Unless the gear happens to be an arranger.

And of course you can say a new speaker system is related to general arrangers, and yes it is linked, but it is not specifically about arrangers.

As I said earlier, just rename it to the General Muso's forum, or similar....

I know if I want to look for anything Korg specific, I look either to the Korg forum here, or at Irishacts, ditto for anything Yamaha or Roland. I go to the specific forum.

I come to the General Arranger forum to look for and discuss arranger issues.

But, that's just me

And look, if this WERE to become the "General" forum, thats cool and I would have NO problems with folks posting about anything at all

Don,

You are 100% right on that and come to think of it we can say what we like about Ketron, AJ won't moderate it I don't think he looks at the site, it's like driving past by a multiple car pile up, if you don't want to know whats happened , don't look. Mind you someone from another site will always take a peek and start kicking off, know what I mean Don.

And i love the General too, its fun, sometimes i laugh by my self locked in my room and my
roomate thinks i've gone crazy...

Hi Nedim,
my husband thinks the same about me.
I sit in front of the tv reading the forums on my netbook, laughing to myself. He gives me some strange looks, as if to say, "are you right in the head" haahaa.

best wishes
Rikki

Its not as if the Ketron section is very far away...click, click and your there. Its good to keep things in order.
