I think flat is not the correct word.......but you should know it!!!

Anyways... it is a hard time Jos, I too am struggling for time at the moment and find myself spending less and less time on beoworld.. now, is this because of Beoworld? no its simply a case or priortising what is most important in life and working round it.  Bring up a family has been a challenge and supporting a family through tough times is hard but at least you can pick Beoworld up every now and then and have a nosey instead of becoming apathetic in the direction and politics associated with the brand etc. 

I remember when Beoworld was new and there was very little being discussed other than problems etc and I do believe that we have been spoilt to a certain degree with new products and speculation and maybe we have come to expect more for even possibly less only to find ourselves dissapointed.  Saf has made an excellent point on this in another thread and he is absolutly right, maybe we have been a wee bit naive and its now time to make some important decisions, simliar to what is going on in Struer. 

What is dissapointing is that there are clearly those out there who rather than go about thier business still find the time to come onto the site and be disruptive and petulant trying to stir up trouble.  I find this more concering that we are talking about mature adults who are professionals and have children.. but such is life.

By the way Jos, I am 31 next month!! and we are planning on having another "bundle of joy" so I am sure time will tell very soon! and I feel OLD!

 

I think there are very few people who go out of their way to be petulant and cause trouble on this forum. What we see is a clear polarisation of views regarding where the brand is heading, and to a certain extent there is an exchange of banter that to more sensitive souls might seem close to the bone. Ask the mod team how many posts have been pulled because of flaming, and I think you'll find them few and far between. Not sure what difference a person's professional status and family circumstances make. It takes all sorts, after all, and this forum is only a reflection of society as a whole. We have some younger members who are mature beyond their years, and some mature members who.....well, let's just say they like to mix it up a bit, but nothing malicious.

I really think we must stop talking this problem up. If you find yourself moving away from the forum because of personal circumstances then that's fine, and I'm sure it will still be here when the load lightens a little, but perhaps it's the baby sick or whatever that's taking your time as opposed to the horrendously negative atmosphere on about five or six threads. Try hanging out on the Vintage or Beogram forums - the atmosphere there is certainly more convivial, particularly to first time or infrequent posters. Please though, let's get a sense of perspective.

 

I think the vast majority here can see through attempts to deliberately "stir the pot" and will continue to frequent the forum regardless of thinly veiled attempts at sabotage!

At the rate this thread is going, we could have our own sitcom.

I assume you would be the generic "spikey haired teenager" that would be the butt of the jokes of the ever so slightly, infeasibley, cool looking, trendy, parents!

Isn't modern day telly sh*te!!

Certainly, and it will continue being sh*ite until the new series of Top Gear starts!

But clearly and in any given situation/scenario, its the minority which will ruin it for the majority not that the site is being maligned in any way just that it is boring to hear the same thing over and over again.  I have an opinion and have made it, end of so maybe ones perspective is merely ones opinion?
