generally helping with problems

Its so weird.
 
In past years I've been one of those who's system just seemed to take to SONAR and everything worked pretty much as advertised - that is apart form those generally acknowledged bugs of course.
 
The thing is that I stuck around day after day post after post and tried to help people trouble shoot their problems.
 
I jsut finished reading a thread from a feloow forumiote whos going away for athe next year because he's figured that if his system is working and so many are complaining then either he must be mad or or the complainers are.
With issues I've had this year I have not had one single offer of advice on how I might trouble shoot the problem or what might be the cause. Nothing, nada - zip.
 
Its interesting. On my system which currently works with all variants of SONAR 8 & 8.5 there is no logical reason why I should be having problems with X1a if so many users are not having any problems. What's the problem. I suspect that most users don't push their systems so they don't comeup against the problems. Maybe that's why I''ve not encountered problems myself with past versions. As I said I am deliberately pushing SONAR to the limit with what it should be able to do and its falling way short. I'm actually examining the program at a much deeper level than I ever have any previous version of SONAR. Why; because out of the box it came with little broken bots all over the place.
 
As for the forum:
This year its become oldies versus newbies and quite often, frequent posters versus infrequent posters.
 
the forums gotten as useless as the program - my friends excluded.
there are so many infrequent posters creating useless noise with not one helpful suggestion between them. All they are doing is demonising those who complain, interjecting needlessly, and worst of all demeaning folks just for having and expressing an opinion.
 
Makes one question; why stick around at all?
 
 
 

Things are still fine over in the old-guys' forum, mudgel. Whining and insults are minimal, most threads are legitimate questions and most responses are sincere attempts to be helpful. C'mon back, we're serving canapes and tea.
