just my sense from visting it daily. i don’t really care about the “deals” section, mostly i’m interested in helping folks better use the product, report bugs (rare), or read up on techniques.

don’t really know anything about “larry”. i saw a bunch of spamming back in the day but thought he got banned. he was on my blocked list for years because of the noise.

not surprised about haters. they seem to be everywhere these days. if i have someone hating on me, i block them or call their boss if they persist (everybody serves somebody…).

Okay, I plead total ignorance to the rest of Cakewalk forum! I only know about the Deals forum and I used to LOVE the song sharing forum (I forgot what it’s called).

As far as haters — I would rather this community cease to grow than allow that kind of stuff. This place is meant to be a creative refuge from that kind of toxicity. I don’t think healthy creativity exists in those environments. That’s why I didn’t just t a subreddit or Facebook Group, I prefer having a smaller, friendlier community than a large one that is nearly impossible to manage (nice rationalization for not having 100,000 members, right?).

If anyone EVER gives anyone else any hate at this forum, report it (click the link above the posts). I realize that no community is going be totally free of that stuff, but the policy and process here is zero tolerance of toxic behavior. At worst, you guys see my way too posts! But I’m always friendly and I’m trying to do a better job of not doing so many long posts! It just takes me a lot longer to make a shorter post than a long one! True story.  🙂
