TG, my forum wasn't created last, it was actually created before any of the others.

Forgot the change from Zetaboards to Invision (or was it the other way around?)

Larry is pretty close. The secret forum was actually created while we were still at PW. WTF was created as a safe space for people who wanted a less rough and tumble discussion style, but it didn't take those guys long to evolve into a very Left-leaning board.
I remember many of the people on the old, original PianoWorld board. Larry, Penny, Jodi, Dave Burton, etc.
I think Frank made a major mistake, when he started listening to people in person, whispering honeyed nothing's in his ear. That, and the behind-the-scenes email campaign. His site could sometimes be raucous, but the info back then is better than it is today, maybe because of some of the conflict. As for the OCR, I never could understand why he shut that down...It helped drive his numbers. A lot.

Larry, would you mind telling the people on your forum board about this new one? Maybe some will want to try this one out.
Also, I think there are some here who go to Well Temper Forum. I think you should have a thread there to let people know about this new forum board.

i think we must have found the good middle spot. I did look at the other forums.
Not a 100% quote, but the response from forum A was that we were too far to one side.
The response from forum B was that we were too far to the other side.

So, I think we must be pretty much in the middle and have good back and forth discussions!!

It's kind of sad that we all can't be together in one place.

I am laughing. After piano world - I’d call this The place where more of the right leaning folks ended up, and the other where more of the left leaning folks ended up and there are several folks who post both places. And some people who NEVER forget old enemies!

Well, this used to be the place that offered a bigger variety of opinions, which is what drew me here instead of the other place. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything but rather to find flaws in my own reasoning, and for that I need all the arguments from all perspectives. This place has sadly become a little more uniform over the years after a couple of posters left. But it's still interesting most of the time, and I like the unconstrained nature of the discussions.

I agree with Klaus. It is good to have different opinions and I oftentimes learn from those different opinions.
I would not want to be where there is a thread that says "President Trump is bad", and the replies are +1, +2, +3, etc.

That would get boring. LOL
I was once in a seminar on negotiations/relations with different countries and cultures. One of the exercise was to list a topic we are passionate about and list some bullet point to help our point of view.
When we were finished, the instructor took mine and said, "Okay, Jennifer, now I want you to tell me why all the points you listed are wrong!! What is your argument against these??"
It really helped me to look at other points of view and understand where they received their point of view.
I do not agree all the time with everyone on this forum board, but I like the different opinions and ideas that are expressed.
It would be fantastic is some of the forum posters from the other boards (or even new posters) were to come back to here. Variety is good!!!!
