Craig, this is what I said and it doesn't match what you are saying. I have inserted comments in bold to clarify and the original words are in itallics..

Is this about the Cakewalk forums or shifting traffic to HC and improve their bottom line. Do I see a conflict of interest here?? ** This is a question not an accusation, increased traffic to a site will increase their potential for increased revenue, even if they host the content for free, or so I'm told by the guys that buy articles from me. ** 
 
Cakewalk is the owner/operator and will do exactly what they want regardless of how many people don't, or do, like it. All I want is to have a good give and take of information. Setting things up so that your value is measured, voted on and judged is nonsense. It will discourage new comers and if it becomes cumbersome we may lose input from some of the really knowledgeable folks. ** My opinion with an explanation of why I have that opinion **
 
And please kill the stupid slogans. - SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP -  What does this even mean, comrade?
** I stand by this as it's a quote from a B movie**
 
I'm offering what I believe to be constructive feedback, not simply complaining, and my comment should be taken as such.

Now, for those too lazy to look back at my comments here they are again. What's wrong with them? At no point did I ever say that Harmony Central was a bad idea. I wondered if it was a conflict of interest, NO accusation. As a virtual rock star in the recording world and a V.P. at Gibson you should expect to be held to a higher standard than us potato farmers. Where in this do you see a personal attack worthy of your indignation?
 
Today the Bakery section for ideas is more fully populated and I can see just how good it will be for suggestions. It takes away speculation and gives you decision making input almost immediately. I fully support the idea for that topic.
 
I don't know what more I can say other than I am not what you portray me to be.

The only thing that should be driving you up the wall is a hover car.... or the fact that we still don't have one!

 

Before ordering concrete model, please check the specification! If it does not support MIDI, HID (Gamecontroller) nor OSC, please ask for detailed protocol. As with other devices, I probably do not have the same.
 
Just imagine, your hover car is delivered and... you can not use it with Sonar. What a shame!

   Attacking Craig for offering a solution to a problem that doesn't even exist yet may be one of the reasons for the upcoming changes.
   I (a documented conspiracy theorist) want to thank Craig for his generous contributions to this forum and its' community. And should the need actually arise for him to move us over to HC, I will be grateful regardless of his motivations.
   Now as to the Greys on the dev team, that explains the format of the bakery. They experience time differently than humans. Thus responses must precede comments. We just need to learn to read from the bottom up.

   "Starship Troopers" may have been a bad movie but it is one of the great American novels. It has been ripped off by Hollywood and game developers so often that it's hard to find a science fiction story that doesn't owe an apology to Heinlein.
   And I also don't like the slogan as it applies to the bakery.
  

 
 
It's a well known fact that I just made up that if the Coffee House were to get closed down, average global internet speeds would increase by approximately 4.81627736257638 Mbps.
 
And poor ol' Bapsi would have to go back to living in the real world

 The general direction that most online communities are moving is away from the forum style/model.
 

And regrettably the user experience, mood and quality content of these forums is now less than before.

Wow...

Where you think CW is going to / should put more effort to satisfy maximum number of users ?
