The recent bans on PianoWorld

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…"

vagfilm 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.

Deleted 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.

FWIW they played with self-signed certificates, which made the browsers really scared (which is bad design of the browsers, since they should be more scared of no certificates in login). Somebody must have complained because they backed off to no-certificate again. Which is silly since a real certificate from a real certificate authority can be gotten for free or for cheap and it actually same hassle than self-signing these days.

CyberGene 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.

You can find him in some of the most "high profile" forums and "sticky" threads (e.g. instrument sales) and in the user list. His username has the "owner" badge (where some people have the "gold", "platinum" etc).

But I understand your unease and I don't intend to push you to do what you don't want.

I get it also! But the video works in Youtube. Why the black screen here, I don't know.

It's possible to disable embedding in each video's settings. Then it needs to be watched on the YouTube site or in the YouTube app on iOS, Android or smart TVs.

No. I too have recently seen some YTVids that mysteriously don’t play after being linked here or somewhere beyond there 😐

I am happy this forum was created.
I stopped participating at PW in 2015
and never looked back.

Wow, this is Gyro!!! 😲Now that is a surprise! Welcome (back)! You still keeping your Williams Allegro? 😉

Gyro I am happy this forum was created.

I think I joined a year after you quit. What made you quit?

Welcome Gyro,

How has your progress been in the last 6 years?

Yes, the Williams allows me to study
big-time works the same as any high
end acoustic piano can. I have nearly
mastered Krakowiak and can play it at
75% tempo from beginning to end. Now
that I have mastered the technique using
the "coin on the hand" technique of great
pianists, I am considering playing by memory
using a photographic approach, followed by
tactile, visual, and auditory memory.

I had also been banned from PW at times for
sharing my views and advice, and was sick of
being ridiculed by the so-called pianists and
moderators.
