Is there an SH Forums "Mission Statement"?

Forum "Mission Statement"

Has there ever been an official mission statement for this board? I know it was an offshoot of the DCC board but I was otherwise occupied at the time of the move to this one so I am unaware of any statements at the time by Steve or anyone else about the objectives.

It takes a lot of commitment in terms of time and effort to keep a board like this going. There is also a certain amount of funding necessary if only for the software and bandwidth. I know Steve wants feedback for his work but are there any other objectives?

I know that we all benefit from the interaction on this board and I am sure we appreciate the fact that discussion is not limited only to the immediate interests of our hosts. If we were made aware of any objective goals perhaps we might be able to assist attaining them.

 

Gosh, I'm shocked just about every day (often several times each day!) about just how much more you guys know about music, artists, and recordings than I do. I swear I learn something new every time I'm here.

Here's a "mission statement" for you: to keep me entertained and educated!

As important as the total context above is, the highlighted portion is the crux of the matter. All the rest would be rendered meaningless if no one wanted to visit here on a regular basis. I'm sure that many here are aware of the downright hostility that exists at other 'stops' of our net travels and to many coming here is like 'coming home' to an extended family who share a common interest. I have no doubt whatsoever of the continued success of this forum as long as the established criteria are maintained. While we may step out to those other places this is where we always come back to.

 

Hell yes. I didn't think Audio was a contact sport until I tried several places on the net. Now, with the exception of Audio Asylum (which isn't bad, just kinda messy) this is the only place. It's no accident either. Some genuinely nice and helpful people have always been a strong force since this board was merely 3 meg at DCC Compact Classics.

 

Man, I love this place. When I log on, I go into the relax mode. There is "no" other

 

Mission statement?

"A forum to discuss all things music and beyond with friendly like minded people and have some fun in the process!"

Sounds like a great place to be...and it is here right now. Sometimes life can be just great!

 

what a lovefest!

 

Friends,

I feel very lucky to have discovered this Forum. I have learned so much from the Steve and Forum members about recording, mastering, recording history and audio equipment that can truly say that gaining such valuable information is priceless! But, more importantly, I have made new friends and acquaintances in this ever increasing impersonal and isolated world that we reside in. As such, the quality of my life has been enhanced as a result.
