Q: Did Recording.org change??

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Either I am looking at the wrong forum site, or hallucinating, or else
they changed Recording.org around??

Didn't they used to have some DIY subjects/threads there??
I seem to remember posting stuff about ribbon mics and people buying
condenser mic elements from China??

Perhaps I'm confusing this site with another?? (probably)



Signed,

Confused again...

I think it was a little over a year ago that the DIY or "Tech
Forum" or whatever-it-was-called board disappeared. As I understand
the story (which may not be accurate), someone wanted to save a
webpage he was looking at, had Windows Explorer save it, and it
started saving subpages or some such. Whatshisname the owner or RO saw
a bandwidth spike, got pissed that someone was "stealing" his content.
and removed everything from the whole DIY board. There had previously
been some controversy about copyrighted schematics being
published/displayed online that manufacturers make available to
customers but don't generally distribute, so the owner (and someone
representing a manufacturer whose schematic was 'shared') already had
some problems with people on that forum.
As soon as the DUY board content was deleted, a few of the DIY
people started up other boards. This is the one most people finally
migrated to:

http://prodigy-pro.com/forum/

From what I've seen, there are a lot of the old familiar characters
over there.

At the time this had happened I was looking for a longist post I
had written months earlier on patents. I had no reason to save a copy
of my writings on my local drive (didn't think I'd want to get it
again, nor that it would go away).

Bear,

Well, both maybe, but you are not wrong either. :-> )

I used to host an Acoustics forum there, but the RO priniciple and his main
sidekick developed, um, let's say "personality problems" so I packed up shop
and moved to MusicPlayer.com (run by the EQ magazine folks). Here's the
link:
