i agree w/ jose...
restoration is in process. true that people are really leaving but that doesn't mean it is the end of this forum.
we just have to respect their decisions and just continue what we have started in here.

Well it's been a month and those other substitute sites have pretty much zero activity.

Lera's site deserves a look though. She took her phonetic spelling into her forum design. It’s a hoot. Gotta love Lera for that unique typing accent. The forum has a very nice layout and the preference choices are nice, it reminds me a tech forum like anandtech.com.

I totally agree Stephan! Even this forum is a little slow right now. People are coming and going a lot in the summer, so that may have something to do with it.

HAHA! stephan...funny.^^ Yeah..8notes is kinda slow..but i see that there's A LOT of new members. I just went on vacation but i'm back! i usually try to post here and there...saying my opinoin..Heehee..let's keep it alive ppl!:D i love it here

I don't like to bring up dead threads, but I decided to read what others had written on my original post since I stopped reading after while. I was floored to read how people thought I was copping out. I even read a post where someone was accusing me of having the thinking that if someone else does not share my views then I will go somewhere else. How insensitive and rude! I guess no one seemed to get the reason why I left the forum in the first place. Maybe they didn't read any of my further posts stating that I was not leaving with a bad taste, and I actually stated that I understand people share different views. The reason I left this forum originally (so that everyone can be clear and there will be no micron of doubt) was that I was starting college in a couple months. I knew I had a tough time ahead of me, and wanted to create a place that would be supportive to those furthering their education. I understand that humans, in general, prey on the negativity in life. This is seen everywhere as the news and all forms of media emphasize the bad aspects of our lives. An Adult Flute Chat was an implied maturity factor. I didn't care what legal age you were. It was designed for people that needed help, people working on rep., and people that had questions. Much like this forum. The only difference really...the fact that I did not want to have to sift through posts about what the highest note on the flute is, and its 500 different responses yelling at each other about why THEY'RE right. My solution...don't answer a question unless you have physical evidence of why you are right. Stating that your fingering chart goes up to G or C is not sufficient due to the fact that fingering charts are designed for fundamental learning. Get and EXTENDED fingering chart...then we'll talk.

In regards to the Galway forum. I was on there more frequently this summer than now due to school, but I didn't mind it. That site seems to be geared more toward the professional flutist than the learning flutists. At least that's what it seems to be used as. I never really got answers from it when posting there. I think there is a clique on that website, and if you're not part of the clique you don't get the info you are after.

Once again, sorry for bringing up a dead post again, but I hope you got your heads out of your !*****!s long enough to read it and see where I was coming from.

No micron of doubt here! I am glad that you are back though, and so sorry that you had to read that.

It was me who mentioned a possible leaving with a bad taste.
I understood your reply then and I was very happy to see it was not the case. More happy still to see you back here. I have the same impression concernig Sir Galdway's site, apart to being so difficult to navigate anf follow threads, I have never dared to post there.

Now that I think over what I said, I have the doubt whether "a bad taste" means the same in English as it does in Spanish, my mother tongue.
My intention was to express "to have the feeling of a recent bad experience" or something like that.
If I was wrong on the actual meaning of this expression, please accept my the apologies from someone who is not a native speaker, but enjoys the English language and tries to use it the best as he can.

You used the expression correctly Jose_luis. I would not say I had a bad taste just because I was not overly perturbed about everything on this forum. It just seemed not to be going in a direction that I was comfortable with at the time. It has since gotten better, and with no time really...I am back to offer what I learn in college rather than expect others to help me.
