WHY SO MUCH BS BANDWIDTH?

[Ken Pachkowsky]

We have seen this discussion many times.

Obviously we all have similar and sometimes very different reasons for hitting the link to this site. Frankly, I can’t understand why everyone’s needs can’t be met.

It would be simple to set up an area that is exclusive to the hard core technical types. Those who are so inclined can post and dissect graphs till the cows come home without being interrupted by other babble or stupid questions. The Project May section has been around for 3 years without to much fuss on who has and does not have access to it. Correct me if I am wrong but anyone who wants access can get it?

There are many threads here that I never look at. Not everyone wants to upgrade a pair of XXX or build a pair of XXX. That being said, I enjoy looking at the end result of all members projects.

My view on what constitutes wasted bandwidth can differ greatly from another’s and vise versa.

T Domes “Ad of the Day” thread is a good example. I have never even clicked on that thread, because I have no interest! The fact that it has over 500 replies tells me that others do find it interesting and that’s fine. I am sure T Dome would not give a damn nor should he.

I joined this site because members shared a passion that has been a substantial part of mine and perhaps there lives. I have had great dialog with some and butted heads with others, just like the real world.

The point is, you can make this site whatever you want it to be...or not

Great post, Ken.

This is, after all....a public forum...right?

I don't post much because I have very little to offer with all the other talent that reside here. I mainly read and lurk because it relaxes me, but I have donated every spring for the last three years for the priviledge of learning.
Thanks Bill

It's amazing how this thread on BS Banwidth has turned into BS Bandwidth yet alot of people see fit to reply to it.

No matter what thread is posted on this forum someone will call it BS Bandwidth

I thought this forum was designed to deal with this phenomenon.


1... DIY forum, who would ever call this BS Banwidth
2...Forum Announcements (where we get to wish members a Happy Birthday) could be considered BS Bandwidth
3...Lansing Marketplace could be considered BS Bandwidth.
4...Project May, this would never be called BS Bandwidth
5...Lansing General Product I suppose this could be called BS Bandwidth.
5...Lansing Product Tech Help,this could be called BS Bandwidth.
6...General Audio Discussion will only be called BS Bandwidth if JBL is not discussed.
7...Lansing Related Gear,This could be called BS Bandwidth.
8...Music, we know this is BS Bandwidth because my albums are not listed by other members.
9...General Audio Discussion,considered BS Bandwidth
10.Non Audio Discussion, we all know that this is most definately the core of all BS Bandwidth,and likely so because, this is where that BS Banwidth is suppose to be.

Like Ken said, Bs bandwidth is perceived differently by different members.

I as well, like to see the end of projects that people do in the DIY forum and to reply in that forum on that project would be BS Bandwidth on my part as I don't know spit about DIY projects but I would like to say "hey,you've come a long way on that and made something real nice" but I keep my place and don't say anything.

What's wrong with coming here to read about things that you like and things you hear about in the world?

Hell even BS Bandwidth is fun to read.

So, let me think about this! Ok, here we go.

You go to a public restroom, the guy next to you keeps looking over to see what your working with, your like HEY WTF?

Guy says " This is, after all....a public restroom...right?

This has been a BS waste of Bandwidth!
