This forum has been corrupted by money and powerabusive people. I'm leaving

Let's go in order:


- P1ngpong constantly harassed me on IRC, insulting me and my dead mother. After telling him to stop multiple times and asking @Costello for help (he just added him to the conversation and left) I put him on ignore so I could stop dealing with his insults. He banned me from IRC. After that I complained to the staff and they told me to fuck off. Everything is still in my PMs.


- After leaving the forums for a few years due to this, I decided to come back hoping that the forums were changed. P1ngpong was still a dickhead to people that just entered the chat to ask a question.


- The forum was doing average until the staff put a Patreon to gain money out of user-based content and bribe people into gambling. I expressed my concerns to the staff but received no feedback


- The staff starts treating patreon "premium" users better with flaming posts not being moderated, because they are filling the staff's pockets


- After a post about the Nintendo Switch I get attacked and receive multiple death threats over Discord. Not only the staff doesn't give a fuck, but they protected all the Patreon members. No one got banned or suspended after that


- I occasionally still get attacked by these people and no one bats an eye because they are premium members. I have reported a few cases lately, the staff has always replied with "it's his opinion" (of calling me a cunt? Nice) and the posts weren't deleted



These reasons are why I'm leaving the forums. I'm sorry for the users that I care about, but the staff's corruption has been unbearable. You will still see me online sometimes, but that's only to delete my posts that the staff is making money off. Don't expect me to post anywhere. I'm done here.

I'm sure some user will try to derail this thread as best as they can to protect their interests. Do as you please, I have faith in the actually smart side of the users.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    you mean generally, how does the concept work?
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Two good videos from ElectroBOOM that touch on the subject:
