Reply To: Google AI Overview: Cakewalk Forum Succeeded by LinkedMusicians

interesting AI perspective LOL. the Cakewalk forums are going strong and growing. a number of folks who left are now back under new accounts (partly shame? partly because they got banned a few times? dunno) but it is interesting.

Cakewalk Forums growing? Where do you see that?

The deals subforum is certainly not growing. They show the views for each thread, and most threads are only averaging between 50 – 80 views with little to no interaction and maybe 30 (50 at most) regulars who post, the most regular being members with a history of making racist and bigoted posts (they recently made two bigoted threads that two of our members PMed me about, where one member told, what was apparently a gay man that his “lifestyle” was immoral and that he would be his “demon” if he didn’t leave the group; I suppose that is a form of entertainment for some, but the polar opposite of how I believe people should treat one another; for reference, I’ll share this idea: “Love one another”). For a forum owned by a $425 million valued software company,  that’s surprisingly low. Are you referring to cclarrry coming back energized to prolifically post almost as much as he hate posts including reposting neo-Nazi leaders, charts of Jews in the US government with stars of David mimicking those used in Hitler’s concentration camps, white nationalists, racism, anti-LGBTQ, antisemtism, Islamaphobia, and racist xenophobia on Facebook?

He/his pals have already done two hate threads about LinkedMusicnians / yours truly — and have registered troll account here to cause trouble, one using a disparaging nickname for me — and I’d give them credit if they came up with something funny, but they didn’t. It’s sad, IMO.

I monitor all of the major forums, plus a few plugin deal focused subreddits, a Facebook Group, and Cakewalk deals subforum, so I get everything in one interface (well, everything except Facebook Groups), so I do see what they’re posting pretty regularly. At least that group is pretty dead compared to what it was a year ago.
