(hint: its usually manufactured, and you need an ultra high end system to even hear it) Sometimes it's done VERY badly. Yeah, it's overkill. The promo also mention both 96 and 44.1 kHz, with both 16 and 24 bit. So, a 44.1/16 should be adequate. Point is, the release won't stand back in quality to whatever Tidal will be streaming.

But it limits what we can do in terms of contests and giveaways. Our host provider has squeezed us on hosting costs and hence there's no more money to give away tickets, merch, shirts, etc. If I go see Dizzy Reed in August I'll be glad to get an 8x10 signed and you can raffle it off to a member at $1 per entry. That should bring the forum at least $5 after shipping costs. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an expert in this matter so I dont know if this information is of any use to you, but I just wanted you to know. so cheers. I want to echo this post. I don't post often, but I still check this site almost every day, and have been doing so consistently for the last 12 years. It's so great to be able to come here and post honest opinions/thoughts, unlike certain other sites that were censored. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post downzy Posted May 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2018 16 minutes ago, Kittiara said: Okay! Just I reckon the option is there if the cost of running the forum becomes prohibitive. Many of us value this place. Eh, whilst contests and giveaways are nice, the most important thing is that we have the forum to hang out in. I appreciate you running it! It can be... What hurts is when there's two days of high activity and then nothing for the rest of the month. Our hosting costs reflect those two days, not the entire month. If it's busy for the entire month then it's fine. Not ideal and we've been looking at other hosting options but with two business to run and a 5 month old I don't have a lot of time unfortunately. And I agree, most important thing is to keep the forum open for those who want to discuss GNR without the need to pay for the privilege or be made to feel small because they don't agree with someone else. 7 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 amazon.com has the re-mastered cd for pre order, but there are 3 different ones. There's no picture of the cd yet nor is there songs listed. I want to know what songs will be on the deluxe edition? Is there more songs or something added to the package? There's also a cd super deluxe for $179. That's not going to happen unless it has Axl's phone number in the cd. lol Another ploy for making more money. Shit!

Popular Post downzy Posted May 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2018 31 minutes ago, scooby845 said: what do you mean by saying 'you need to turn forum into HTGTG' in order to receive acknowledgement from GNR management? We don't moderate at the bequest of management. Not necessarily saying that this happens over at HTGTH, but the reality is that the owner there is an employee of the band/management and hence moderates to reflect that fact. With the one exception of a pair of tickets I received last October for the Toronto show (keep in mind I paid out of pocket for my own tickets the night before in Toronto, plus the Buffalo show, plus tickets for other staff members), this forum does not receive any material benefit from the band. I prefer not to owe favours that might result in having to moderate the forum differently than I otherwise would like. Anyway, enough with me violating the rules and co-opting the thread. The short end of it is that I would love to give away one of the box sets to a forum member, but I just can't swing it financially right now and I'd rather avoid going hat in hand to management asking for one. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means that since he allows free speech here...allows people to voice their opinions about the band, etc....no matter if it's good or bad....the forum is sort of "black listed" by G N' R Management. Since (pretty much) any negative opinion (or most of them) tend to get censored, etc at HTGTH, that site tends to get more attention from GN'R Management....even though that site probably has 1/10 the traffic and the amount of active users that this site has. It's been like this for close to 15+ years. MYGNR was always sort of the "bad boy" of GN'R Forums....yet it has always been #1 in terms of traffic, members, activity, etc. (Axl did make an appearance here a few years ago...and although it ended fine....there were definitely some fireworks mixed in....) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post downzy Posted May 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've got not problem with HTGTH and I think having different forums is great for different online communities. Not everyone is alike and I'm glad there's a place for everyone. Anyway, let's leave this topic for another discussion and keep the focus on the re-release of AFD. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one little thing.... When I said what I said I was mostly kidding but not entirely, and I didn't mean to say that you should go asking them for anything. I truly believe THEY should give freebies to you, as a sign of gratitude for keeping this community of fans going on. We may not all behave like they would like us to do it but Im sure most of us here have attended their shows and purchased merchandise, so we're just like any other fan at other forums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
