RIP What did you write there?
I simply informed the other members of the forum that MacMacMac, Pete14, and MBig had been banned. There then started a several pages long discussion about this. At some point during this, CG announced his new website as a place to entertain off-topic discussions.
Well, I don't know. I'm not even sure I know what his username on the forum is, I've never communicated with him and I've only heard people referring to him as Frank. I feel slightly uncomfortable to contact him directly like that. BTW, I think he might be reading this forum, who knows... If he reads it, I hope he understands and sees how things are. I have no bad feelings for PW. I'm really sorry if I have caused him some troubles with this forum.
RIP Perhaps he missed this memo and sees this as a total competition, which is how I think most users are doing (as you say). Maybe you can be frank with him by sending a PM about this? And point to this one message where you say so in public?
I don't know what can be accomplished by that PM. PianoClack is and always be on a collision course with the digital subforum of PW. Maybe they will coexist, maybe one disappears… No need to apologise over creating a new forum, like Frank (or any one else) does not need to apologise if they still prefer to post there and not here…
CyberGene That's a good question. I think adding more good (digital) piano content will inevitably lead to appearing in more Google search results and naturally attracting more people.
A more modern web application will be preferred by search engines. That's just how things are. This platform properly supports HTTP over TLS. That alone will make it preferable.
CyberGene my idea about this forum was to create a playground for off-topic, i.e. to serve as an additional sub-forum to PW and not a competition.
It's just a website offering something for free (without serving ads) due to technological advancement, what someone else offers as a paid service. Even without serving adverts. Competition would be about making money.
If seems that deletion of the PW heads-up thread occurred since yesterday when you and i had a little dialog here about that very thing ( in the Pet14 Ban thread here).
I reread that PW thread yesterday before our little exchange here and just checked again 5 minutes ago . It’s been moved alright …. best i can tell it’s been moved to somewhere not visible….. so, somewhere between now and yesterday they proved me wrong , for which - i stand corrected. 🙂
This does reveal a little about some folks there with eyes on here, lurking 👀 ….. who knows? Perhaps they may learn a thing or two 😀
A good enhancement would be to add keywords (with a SEO extension), but I don't know how much search engine care of them.

Just installed the SEO extension and provided all the required information. I've also registered with Bing and Yahoo search consoles, in addition to Google. Hopefully the search results and indexing will get even better now.
I tried a couple of thread keyword searches. If I google "autosavemidi" I get a PianoClack hit in 4th place (after pianoworld, a stackoverflow thread I created, some midi file if a song called autosave (!) and finally PC). If I google "recent bans pianoworld" the first his is PC, but if I google "yamaha n1x owners" or "good piano related books", I get only hits from PW…
Maybe some threads on "kawai ca99 problem", "yamaha nu1x loud note" or "roland piano clicking key", would increase traffic… 😊
I searched for Cybrid but alas no results 🙁 Anyway, I think with today's additions I have provided everything Google needs to be able to crawl and index the forum, so with time and with more content and more people clicking on the search results it will get even better 🙂
CyberGene you can add a reference to the cybrid pianoclack thread in your YT videos…
Exactly what I did yesterday 😉 I specifically created that thread, so that I can point to it.
Yoda says: "You cannot outrun a cybergene…"

Only when he is drunk. Ordinarily Yoda would say: "Outrun a CyberGene, you cannot!" 😃
Was it that easy to find that I am not a Star Wars fan ??? (except the original movie).
Well, for me it was like hearing the opening of Beethovens 5th with the fourth note played a half-tone off. 😄
I always wanted to create a movie/TV thread, now is good time!
By the way, just to stay OT, I recently saw a Youtube video where the links between the music from Star Wars, and Gustav Holst's "The Planets" were pointed out. Quite entertaining:
There are probably other videos about this subject. Maybe many.
It could be a good thing for PW. Create conflict in the Piano community, people love that stuff. Both sides will benefit from increased viewers that enjoy drama …. 😃
QuasiUnaFantasia Am I the only one that gets "video unavailable. Watch on YouTube" with embedded videos on PianoClack?

I get that too. I think it depends in which geographic area you are. I am in USA.
