The recent bans on PianoWorld

arc Maybe the PW owners want not only to monetize PW but also to transform it into something like the stackexchange forums where there is a distinction between posts which are strictly enforced to be on topic, and informal discussions. But I guess that if PW moves in that direction the forum would die in months.

The minimum requirement for anything skilled professionals would use beyond casual chitchat is threads with tree-style followups, so users can actually follow along branches, they find interesting. Reddit does it, Stackexchange does it.

vBB and its competitors don't.

absolutely true, I read a newspaper because of the articles. But if they allow comments then they need to know how to moderate. This is one of the inevitable line:

Me: " So mods, why did you remove my comment this time, I didn't say anything rude."

The mods "Comments? It's not our priority. We don't care about your comments."

Me: "I know that you don't care, but we do."

Wondered if you were going to join here. 😄

Gombessa About time you joined us. 🥳

And … welcome.

Wooof!

Pianoclack security check achieved; as you were, over and out/pcsc-eot

So MacMacMac is this the place that we will find out what piano you finally buy?

InstrEd

InstrEd buy?

THIS is such a pertinent question, to me, that it warrants its own tag/category or sub-category ...............” the art of the DP deal “ 🙂

One of the reasons i came back to PW this past Spring, after the hiatus i took subsequent to becoming a member in late 15’/early 16’, was to find out if the answer had yet arrived.

My mother ( a great mother) was from the era of full time mother/housewife & Nurse who, by circumstance, became a daytime soaps junkie. When i left home in 77’ and began the habit of visiting home & family every so often, i found that a day or two in front of the tube with mother would quickly catch me up on these mellow dramas, as though i had never left them despite being away from them from a few months to a few years at a time. Likewise goes MacMacMac’s next piano ‘Days of Our Lives .... As the World Turns ....Edge of Night’ ... still not resolved but i wanna know how it turns out if/when it happens 😉

"Like sands through the hourglass" so are the days in which we wait for Mac to make his purchase. 😀

Maybe @CyberGene can find an extension that can be prominently placed in this forum counting the number of days we are waiting for @MacMacMac 's decision 😀

Gombessa So glad to see you here!

Who else here is eagerly waiting to see Mac’s piano purchase thread? 😀

If I decide to make the piano a birthday gift, then this will be the timer:

Piano Countdown

But if pandemic-induced shortages continue, this one might be more accurate:

Delayed Piano Countdown

Is there a definition of sight reading thread? 😀

.... i’m trying to figure out what clack tool to click that makes a text string an embedded URL .... anyone ?

A post from 2020 that popped-up today in a resurrected thread in PW's Tuner-Technicians Forum. I don't think it aged that well.

MacMacMac But if pandemic-induced shortages continue, this one might be more accurate:

I do not honestly understand why the shortages continue in the US. Early this year there were backlogs everywhere. But the N1X and NV10 are being delivered for quite a while around Europe.
