Bill, sorry. This is the first I heard of it.
Joseph seems to have stopped down as moderator, but what I think I understand is that the specific intention is to keep things on the track of being an archive of useful information, and not just banter about stuff. Not having seen what was objectionable about that thread, I can't answer your question Bill. I'm sorry.
Brad, feel free to undelete it, if you can, and I'll sort out what's going on.
I might do some eventual Klaus'ing of some threads and try to keep things on course, especially as people get the hang of what things should look like in here. I mean, at a minimum, Klaus would have moved any thread abot a C3000 to "Budget: We Ain't Got No Stinking Budget."
I'm actually leaving it to you guys to do the reviews, and I'm simply the mod. However, I am going to request that when you guys review or discuss gear, it's at least more useful than your typical Electronic Musician style press release / review, or GS thread. Don't just say, "Man, I like my Distressor. These things are the bomb on OHs."
Also, as you guys know, I like to get inside stuff. Please feel free to say, "I'm really impressed with the components and build quality of ..." I mean, you've seen me rip manufacturers for using shit components. Feel free to either approve or disapprove of these things you find.
Let's see if we can get this thing back on track.
