Unfortunately, this forum has ALWAYS been about KEKL, and a couple of other format cheerleaders. That's why it was split off from Hi-Rez in the first place. It's also about DVD-Audio, which does occasionally get discussed here in between people attempting to torment KEKL. If there were less KEKL-bashers, there would be less KEKL, and there might even be more discussions about DVD-Audio. Unless, of course, the forum transitions to new formats.

So you want to bring discussions about new formats here? Well, there's two competing technologies, and a new format war. Do you understand that this will simply create yet another situation like the one that existed on Hi-Rez before it was split up? There will be more cheerleading, plenty of fresh format warriors, and new KEKL-clones.

If you're looking to pick sides and do battle, I can see why you'd want to transition this forum to the new technologies. The forum has a proven track record as a battleground, and has the right mix of experienced cheerleaders and veteran format warriors to get the fire started.

So, after you guys have turned the forum into Format Hell, where will those of us who might actually want to discuss DVD-Audio go?
