Perhaps a "Tips" section would be cool.   Easy to find, organize and browse through.   I generally like the people on here and the topics discussed.  I find it very helpful and interesting to read.   I love making music, but I also love my DAW and like talking about all its features.

This is a good place for that!   I've learned so many tips from these forums.

Do you mean like this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Techniques-f90.aspx or a different "Tips" section as in Paypal Account? 
 

hahah...  no i mean PURE tips.  Technique still gets into some detailed discussions.   The tips area I talk of would be very quick, little, but very useful nuggets of info.   

Then again, maybe some have just given up beating that dead horse. (ie Jerry, et al)

.... and are having a cup of PG Tips.

The real reason is me.
 
I have not posted as much here lately.
 
I can remedy that.

I was going to say I see a lot of shifty types here lately.

everytime we get a new major release or changes we get trolls.
 
then they go away
 
then we all start being nice again

some people see me as "troll-like" or "shifty", and I honestly don't try to be, why would I?   I just hold very high standards for myself and others.   For instance, the MIDI thread I brought up from 5 years ago... over 4 problem reports filed and still no fix.   For me, I find that sort of embarassing and makes the software look poorly coded (that you have to choose your USB controller, then go back to MIDI Omni, then go back to your USB controller again).  Every time I start a new track, I must do this 3-step process, and it's been this way for over 5  years!

I don't mean to be a debbie-downer.  I love the product, or I wouldn't be paying for it, right?  And I understand there will always be bugs when it comes to software.  I am actually a software engineer/technical writer for my career, so I get it - but long term issues like this, in my mind is simply not acceptable.
 
I don't get exactly why people find anything that is somewhat negative to be distasteful.   Sometimes a  little honesty is OK even if it is negative in nature.
 
Just look at my avatar!  That is the real me!  I am just a kitten riding a unicorn.  

IMO, there are several really good reasons.  First, I think the folks that had something to say have finally finished.  Then there are (in no particular order) alprazolam, lorazepam, diazepam, clonazepam and related medications, along with wine and other relaxants. 
 
 

Shifty little troll kitten. I bet you're just after the pot-o-gold at rainbow's end...
 
You seem OK to me. I really like the question about the frequencies in modern VS vintage mixes. It made me think... I couldn't come up with much other than uhhhh duuuhh but I tried. http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3221802
Maybe someone up here will have better input. I'm interested to hear a more educated reason on why. Frankly, at first I made assumptions and misunderstood, then I re-read the OP and saw want an interesting question it is. Apologies for that.
