Ez should be reinstated. He should never have been banned IMO.
EDIT:
Also IMO... ez's banning, as crazy as this may seem to someone new to HR, is at the heart of the real issues that have eroded HR's strength as a recording-community-that's-like-a-Wild-West-town-with-edgy-humor-but-a-good-heart-that-used-to-attract-1200+viewers-at-a-time kind of place.

All posting boobie pictures in the Cave.
What, do you think we should just let him back in to advertise his competing BBS?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
ez wrote to me in email, seemingly contrite and "thought we should get together in person to talk". After a single noncommittal response, he was screeching like an old maid deprived of her Steely Dan albums and back to his old insulting nasty tricks.
That says it all, really. If I can't play his way, I can't play at all in his book. He's much more of a control freak than anyone has ever made me out to be. He's happier in his little fiefdom, and we're all better off without him (and Ed!). There were some good people who followed him out of misguided loyalty, but that was their choice...

This is now up to Philippe. I gave him my take on andy k. (thanks for pointing out the similarity...I hadn't noticed that myself) and it's up to him whether he wants to put up with him. Personally, I'd get rid of him on account of the spelling alone...

There are some good people that post in both (and RP too).
You ought to register at A&A just for shits and grins. I'd love to see how that goes down.

Bingo.
ez posted at RP how his goal was to hurt me financially. That, and his invitations to people here to his new website that he started up for that very purpose, were what got him banned.
Philippe knows the entire story in detail, and it's up to him whether he wants to allow such an unrepentant indivudual with such a history back here. Of course, if he did, ez would no doubt waste no time in repeating his antics, and then when he finally exceeded even Philippe's patience, ez would end up once again with a posse of followers claiming that Philippe was a fascist censor, HR is crap, the Cave is no good anymore, ad nauseum.
It's all an act. And in spite of their "Anarchistic" name, ez managed to be censoring and banning people the first week the site was up. And in spite of their stirring up a tempest in a teapot over "all those terrible ads" on HomeRec...ez has managed to sneak them in on his users also...allegedly to "support the server" which (as ez boasted to me in email) costs a whopping $15 a month!
They should call that place "Home Recording Hypocrites" instead.

EZ misread someones post about Jamfest thinking you wanted to meet him and Ed at Jamfest..thats why he extended that invitation to talk..

EZ posts at RP without spamming or causing problems..maybe because when he asked for help on starting a website, Slackmaster helped him, whereas you banned him...

Joe can certainly be a smartass sometimes.
I think that his prospective behavior is a better decision driver than his past.
I urge you to check out the AA site, and you will see that there is no competing content or user base. Joe's attitude, if I may paraphrase, is that everything is already out there for somebody willing to use Google. There is zero existential threat to HR from AA. The numbers aren't there and the intent isn't there. Joe made that place to hang out with his friends. He used to do that here.
Anyway, it's unlikely Joe would come back. I just see an opportunity for HR to take the high road here.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to opine on the matter.

Hi Mike,
I don't think that the concerns felt by HR members has anything to do with the address/native language of the ownership, despite all the comments and moustaches on the avatars.
People don't want to lose the non-commercial feel of the place. This is a place where people talk about buying and using products-- there will always be an advertising interest in the community. But the business interests stand to damage what's unique about the place.
It wouldn't matter even if it was bought out by an American company. You'd get the same grumbling, only with different jokes.

Yes. Except that it's not competing. The activity at aa is in their version of The Cave. And half of that seems to be about HR. You want to disarm the situation? Unban him. He was never an actual threat. He was joking. Well, until he was banned. IMO HR's got a lot to gain and nothing to lose in unbanning him.

I've been to Audiofanzine several times now, and gone through many of the forums in fine detail, going all the way back to the first forum posts. What strikes me is the simplicity of the answers there, and very few long threads. I'm concerned that many of the moderators there aren't qualified to answer a lot of the general questions that are posted here, based on what I've read there.
Bad answers, and incomplete answers, don't help people solve their problems. I'd really like to know who the moderators are going to be here, their backgrounds, and levels of expertise.
If moderators plan to take an active role here, I feel they should introduce themselves in the appropriate forums.
Just my 2¢.

I think answering the questions can be handled by the membership...moderators need not be experts at the forum topic, or even well versed in it....they are there to keep things flowing on topic and kick the chessrock types to the curb and handle spam....those type things....
