Are any members of this forums, members of any other forums. Why I am asking, as a long time member of AOS, I cant enter the site, change password etc. I dont put many items for sale, but would like to threads or open some. thanks

Tried Wigwam at the same time as I started here. Retired hurt very soon afterwards. Never been back. Never felt the need to.

Hi Norm
yes since Marco became very ill some years back the AOS site has been a bit tricky . Have you tried rejoining AOS ? there are many other sites such as hi fi for sale which is excellent . and of course PFM which is very busy

The Steve Hoffman board can be useful, especially if you're a record collector seeking the best mastering. It has a very large user base and message volume.

Someone has to be an acting admin on AOS. It would have failed in the length of time Marco has been ill with no intervention. There has to be an active mod team, someone paying the bills etc. If you really are locked out try creating a new account and contacting a moderator who has been active recently explaining the issue.

I have just checked AOS and had no problem logging in.

Similar experience of the Wam at some point in the past. It could be unpleasantly aggressive at times, so I also stopped visiting.

Goto their website. There are instructions on there for creating an account.
If you already have an account, then surely you don't need someone to tell you how to create another one?

I was a member of the Wam from the start, I loved it but not for the faint hearted. I had a very long break from it and went back about a year ago, it’s completely different now, much friendlier. I post more on here than there. I’m a member of Steve Hoffmann but only really lurk there.

Cheers BB

Am on Here, Wam & Audio Adicts.
Was, on AoS but gave up a couple of years back as, it was like a, ghost town. Barring the classifieds you'd be lucky to get 1 new topic a week and the same 10 or 12 members did all the posting. Not bothered going back since.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

I don’t consider myself faint hearted, but the Wam was definitely not for me.

FWIW I’ve met most of the Wam guys at peak-era WigWam shows (I stayed over a couple of times for the curry night, great fun). They are a bunch of wusses. Every last one of them.

It's much nicer here..

Was on WHS&V again for a few month after years of absence. Some nice folks there but it's pretty boring so I've gone absent again for the next 5 years.

One forum at a time is more than enough for me. I have a life.

Here now til I get barred again

Just remembered, I (think) I am a member of the Wam but can't be bothered ... at least not whilst here.

 

[hifi_dave]

I'm not a fan of aggressive forums so I stay here, AOS and the HUG.

Same for me - this place is so much nicer

As long as you don't stray into political discussions. They are very ... select. Unless of course you are part of the cronies and share a, shall we say, decidedly far left ideology.

I started at the Wam, where I never had any real problems and had much friendliness, but deserted to the Audio Abattoir when it all went Pete Tong. If you think the Wam was robust….. Anyway came here and also lurk on the new, and near deserted Wam. This place has the best balance, a great record store and classifieds section and plenty of ‘lively’ off topic.

There were some great characters on there and outside the 2 channel section there were some interesting and often hilarious discussions. In person some of the nicest guys you could meet. It wasn’t perfect though and I can understand that not everyone had a positive experience.
