First, welcome to new peeps from H-C.

I'll keep using it I guess, as I have a lot of friends over there, but it IS clunky as hell. I'll just use it much less than I used to.

Same here Brian. I'll check in from time to time, but I'm not going to contribute like I did. I'm kind of liking smaller forums like this, and Mark Wein's forum. Less BS drama on smooth platforms.

Win-win.

I'm a member at Wein's as well, but don't post very often.

I read the open letter to Craig Anderton and I must say Craig seems like a real stand up guy. I honestly think he is fighting (musiciansfriend?) to go back to vBulletin. I replied in the thread to tell him to look at vBulletin 4.0. I honestly think vBulletin 4.0 will be the answer to all their problems and it will please the community.

The software they are using now looks custom built and I'm sure they are spending $10's of thousands of dollars to build it. Why not spend $250 bucks for vBulletin 4.0 and be done with it?

Seems that way. Probably some suits at GC/MF impressed by Jive's salespeople using a lot of cool buzzwords. Whatever. Even if you forget about the forums, the reviews are a resource that every musician who has a computer has used. The whole online musician community is pissed about that being unaccessable.

I just realize that it was a place that I enjoyed and that it isn't coming back. I don't think I need to spend that much time surfing anyway. I realize that it is time for a change and the self-destruction of HC helped me make that change.

I really wonder how much they had to pay to get such a screwed layout!!

That smiley image that you used [

I started here and love the forum layout and ease of use.

I didn't know about HC until it was brought up. Went over to take a peak and still can't get the burning sensation outta my eyes. What a mess.

They really need to do some configuration settings and tweaks BEFORE going 'live'.... they must be following the Microsoft Business plan..
