boomana Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 dc, as far as I can surmise, jude's objection to head-case at this point in time is strictly personal and a hold-over from what brought head-case into existence in the first place, and since a lot of strong opinions that aren't exactly favorable toward head-fi get voiced here freely, I can't see his opinion changing anytime soon. As some have pointed out, however, most of us are active members on head-fi. Heck, I strangely seem to be up for head-fier of the year, and Nate was nominated. We're both mods here. Tyrion, immtbiker, mods there, are active members here, and as you've seen, you know or recognize most of us already. Most of us like head-fi, but moved over here looking for something more satisfying in terms of content and expression. I don't think it benefits jude to exclude head-case from mention. If it's a fear of losing members , I can't see it happening as many wouldn't be able to handle the...er....atmosphere here, and those who can, end up frequenting both. I actually think it would be better for head-fi if he did allow mention for a variety of reasons, but I'm also firmly in the camp that since head-fi is his creation, he gets to choose what he wants to allow whether I agree with his reasoning or not. I think it's a shame, but so be it.
dc Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 yeah i'll certainly be frequenting both sites, probably a bit more actively here well, i guess i got the answer to my question. i thought it was some elitist club here that was meant to be kept secret, but it looks like head-fi just hasn't allowed mention of it
boomana Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 the main reason is, i think, that jude doesn't like me very much. it's ok, because i don't like him very much. and then there's that....
Dusty Chalk Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 the main reason is, i think, that jude doesn't like me very much. it's ok, because i don't like him very much.I honestly don't think it's that, but if it gives you a little thrill to think so, go ahead.
Mastergill Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 When i discovered that baby Jude does not allow reference to this site, this really, really pissed me off. It just shows that HF has definitively turned into a business site where traffic is much more important than intelligent and knowledgable contributions. I think you guys and gals should boycott HF. Jude doesn't deserve the relative success he has with HF. He should not forget that is membership that make a forum successful and interesting. And i just fucking hate when the administrator doesn't contribute to his forum...guess he's too much busy counting his dollars.

It appears from your post that you should be the last calling anyone a baby. I enjoy this site, it's not a secret and it's my choice to participate here. I've never been told or pressured to do otherwise by anyone. However, as much I would miss the dual members over there (I mean that), Mastergill, you don't really believe that a boycott by members here would do anything to change the things you don't like about HF? I don't have this personal direct line to Jude and even if I did, I would not share what he was thinking with you. However, if permitting mention of HC on HF was important (I don't believe tkam or Reks care, which I understand) do you think calling Jude a baby and calling for a boycott is going to accomplish that? If you do, I can tell you in no uncertain terms you would be wrong. You can choose to talk about things of which you have no knowledge. I would suggest however, that if you believe a boycott, will accomplish something, then you should go right ahead.
n_maher Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 the main reason is, i think, that jude doesn't like me very much. it's ok, because i don't like him very much. I actually think that he likes aerius less if it makes you feel any better. I honestly don't think it's that, but if it gives you a little thrill to think so, go ahead. Well, based on my conversations with jude I'd say you're more than a little bit wrong about that statement. It has way less to do with head-case being competition and more about not being comfortable with some of the parties involved. And even more to do with the information that people have access to in threads here (think RSA) and how that stirs shit up over there. Me, I don't blame him for not liking links to this site. It only causes him grief and in now way benefits Head-fi.
postjack Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I think you guys and gals should boycott HF. no.
dc Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 boycott won't accomplish anything but more tension
HiWire Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I thought this site was set up so that Aerius could post porn Err... I cross-post my reviews at Head-Fi. I might stop doing this in a while because they don't generate the same kind of interest and intelligent discussion over there. There is a high noise-to-signal ratio over there - it's not necessarily the fault of the mods.
ojnihs Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I thought this site was set up so that Aerius could post porn yeah...that hasn't happened in a while
Chekhonte Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I actually think that he likes aerius less if it makes you feel any better. I'd like to hear the story behind this.
grawk Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I'd like to hear the story behind this. I don't think there's much story there, although I'm not privy to one, if there is. Aerius is just an ass, you haven't noticed?
Chekhonte Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I don't think there's much story there, although I'm not privy to one, if there is. Aerius is just an ass, you haven't noticed? Quite.
aerius Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I'd like to hear the story behind this. There isn't one. They banned me one day and deleted a bunch of my posts, and that was that. Prior to that I caused a ton of shit with dretardwells, gsferrari, Ori, the ALO cable asshole, and a bunch of other shitheads whose names I can't remember. I guess they finally decided to get rid of me so they could keep the worthless dipshits happy, but who knows?
dc Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 I'd like to hear the story behind this. what about the prawn
n_maher Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Aerius is just an ass Something like that, yes.
luvdunhill Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 what about the prawn it's right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7RiMG92gqQ

Of course i may be wrong and i don't know the man personally, but IMO it seems very childish to forbid the talk about other headphone or audio related sites just because you don't like some dudes or the atmosphere of the place. If i have something against Jude, it's just that don't like the way HF has turned, with ads and sponsors everywhere, when i was one of the first to contribute in the hope to keep the site away from this crap. According to some guys who know much better than me about internet stuff, he must make at least $10K per month now, so i think this has turned into something commercial no? The "boycott", i've already made it personnally, and it was not so difficult seeing the amount of crap that is posted and the invasion of Trolls that YOU mods over there have done nothing against. Also technically HF is a nightmare, the site is constantly half broken LOL.

Mastergill Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Haaaaa Fuck. Thanks to remind me to not waste my time on this internet shit.
Chekhonte Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Ha, I felt for you when I saw that. I didn't think you're gripe was unreasonable or baby-ish.
ojnihs Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 I didn't think you're gripe was unreasonable or baby-ish. it wasn't, but you have to remember who he was arguing with here
