why be not be silent now? 

 
It's almost exactly like when I ride my bicycle into a mess of cactus.
 
I can see it coming... I can keep my mouth shut while it's happening... but after I have a prickly pear sticking in my shin I may say "ouch".
 
 
 
 
 
I think Ryan explained it best. There is a new official policy and it will be enforced. I can get behind that idea...
 
...but it will be hard not to compare the "now" to a "then" when clearly stated policies seemed largely ignored.

I can only say that I expressed my opinion when asked, and the result corresponded not with CW's own original suggestion, but with the suggestion I made.
 
Perhaps that's something for people to consider when deciding whether to remain silent in the future.

C'mon mike , let us have the video of you crashing into the cactus ( or is it cacti?) :)

Is this a polite way of saying STFU

No. It's a way of saying that personally I think it makes far more sense to express one's opinion when asked beforehand than it does to only speak up to complain after the fact.

No, but I think this is! : )

If people are concerned about having to click on two forums I think they should reconsider how lenient we're being...

Makes total sense to me. Software discussion in one- good eq to use for this or that etc, review of certain compressor, latency of brick wall limiters, algorithm vs convo reverb, good place to get convo IRS etc.

And in the other: cc's software discount thread with numerous threatening references to ikmultimedia.

Some of that would not be out of place in the techniques forum. Which, IMO, is the most tragically underused sub forum on this site.

Yes the Techniques forum is a good place. I make a pass and read. Don't post much there though. Maybe a question or two.

I personally liked it better as one, but if this is the way it's going to be, or none at all, I prefer this way.

I may be crazy, but I imagine myself in the silent majority.
 
I am one of the guys who knows how to not read what I do not want to read.
 
It seems like a vocal minority got bent out of shape and voiced complaints that they were distracted by paying attention to stuff they didn't want to pay attention to.

yup
