Just out of curiosity... why didn't you post the above crap on your own forum?Harvey Gerst said:A chicken-shit, pathetic trick by a local studio:
This one takes the cake. Most of you know me, and my work over the years. We've built up a pretty good reputation for recording in North Texas, and we also have a pretty good reputation for being nice people.
So you can imagine my surprise when I found out that our website
(http://www.itrstudio.com) has been hijacked by Goodnight Audio, another recording studio in Dallas.
If you add an "s" to our URL, changing it to http://www.itrstudios.com ("studios", plural), it takes you to their Goodnight Audio website.
They're way bigger than we are (but I doubt if their studio originally came with wheels), and they've got a lot of nice toys. I never felt they were a threat, but apparently we're enough of a threat to them to have them try and mislead our customers.
They also claim that George Augsburger designed their rooms, but George told me that our studio is the only place he's ever designed in North Texas.
But how lame is that: to take our name, add an "s", and hope somebody makes a mistake when typing our name, so they can get business?
Sorry for the rant, but I'm kinda pissed at the moment. They bought the URL 12 days ago, but we just found out today. I guess it's actually kinda pathetic, really.
"Chickenshit, lame, and pathetic" kinda covers it for me. Sorry for the rant.
