Hey Mods
First of all Happy New Year Mo Fo's!
Just putting it out there as one of the oldest / longest remaining members here at Hr.Com.
To clarify the question and a bit of history...Prime Time was a name change for Jenny's Place.
Jenny was David "Dragon" Felders girlfriend. David was the founder of Hr.Com
He made the Dragon Cave as the "off topic" space place for all of us early adapters to Home Recording to just go shoot the shit about anything and everything. Totally could be about music and recording but it was wide open to talking about ANYTHING and NO FILTER and he poised the climate as a place like a "Biker Bar" with a warning as such that if you are easily offended don't enter.
Well Jenny felt there should be an off topic place with a filter...and as a smart man trying to appease his main squeeze he created Jenny's place the PG cave. It never really took off, not even close to the Dragon Cave. Don't quite remeber the Chronology on this but after she left him it soon became Prime Time.
As most of the Mods know the history from folks like me, Dragon started getting a LOT annoyed that by the fact that by far the highest traffic on Hr.com was the dragon cave. The Dragon Cave is what got the rankings to a place that made it of value to sell. WTF? I made this site to discuss home recording. He even threatened to close it with a massive fuck you you dumb ass refrain from the Dragon Cave Choir.
back in 1999 when all this started we didn't know what a internet troll was though they existed.
All I can say and as many who have dropped in since is there was nothing ANYWHERE on the internet that was quite like that little place and space on the internets.
Well as though of you who rolled through the period when everything went to hell...there came a time to do something and the Mods , new owners at the time decided it was time to close the cave and just let Prime Time be the off topic forum.
Prime Time has evolved and it took permanently banning several shit stirrers to get it to a place of civility...but where we could still discuss hot topics, argue and debate and move on with a certain level of mutual respect for each other. It was shaky ground figuring out what we could do and say without getting the ban. Miro's temporary banning is the first in a long time here in Prime Time. Though I like Miro and his passion for music and recording he was leaning on the edge of the rail pretty hard with the nit picking, argumentative banter. Did he cross the line? I don't know...maybe? Not my call. Only Steen knows the dialogue that went on between he and Miro but having dealt with Steen several times I can say he is a VERY reasonable cat and if he felt the need to clip Miro's wings he did it begrudgingly but he did it to try and keep the banter here reasonable and at a certain level of respectfulness. I got warnings in the past and did my best to just try and play along as nicely as my nasty old ass could.
I hope Miro comes back...Maybe he will , maybe he won't but I can promise you there isn't one single person that was a member here for any amount of time that became friends with other members here that doesn't think about this place every so often with a smile and a laugh. Why do you think all these people drop in and out who haven't been here in ages...just to see who's still here and maybe have a Kumbaya moment.
Well that's my New years request and I totally understand if you Mods just don't want to mess with things.
One of the old members dropped in and couldn't remember the name of the place because it was gone...When I responded to him he says ..That's right it was the Dragon Cave! Well folks we all get old n forgetful, I'm sure getting that way.
It really doesn't matter if it is Prime Time or the Dragon Cave but as a founder here seeing that with newer members becoming regulars here and keeping this little place in cyberspace alive with new stuff to BS about ...it's starting to feel like the original Dragon Cave again..
All good either way... Happy New Year!
