PW nomads?

Well, I joined here, I think it would be great if the same kind of vibe that’s at PW could be found here. Who else from PW is here?

Rubens

Btw I have sent private invitations to a few of my esteemed fellow users from PW. For my own selfish reasons, because I want to enjoy this forum as much as I used to enjoy the other one 😁.

navindra

Welcome. For the record, no one has requested to be a mod on P|T, however I did say that any mods on PW are welcome to be mods here. I'm proactively marking such folks that I recognize as mods here.

ShiroKuro

Navindra, I was a mod at PW years ago, I’d be happy to help here. .

ShiroKuro

I’m also going to invite some other PW friends here as well.

Hi Bart!

I was wondering, since you are a mod at pw, can you undo the ban?

Josephine I was wondering, since you are a mod at pw, can you undo the ban?

I think undermining the owners' decision would cause Bart to be instantly banned.

BartK

Josephine
No, I can only see it but I can't change it. It was done by an admin.

Too bad, but it wasn't a very good idea anyway, like twocats said, you will get banned for that.

Hello everyone! I go by the same username on PianoWorld. Thanks to whoever made this site. I'm really glad we have an alternative, and the interface to me looks very clean. I'll try to post my fair share. 🙂

SouthPark

ranjit It looks like navindra started the site.

Sam

Well, here I am - I couldn't make the username "Sam S" since it wouldn't take a space, so I am just Sam. Kind of fitting.

So Gombessa got banned at PW? How odd. I thought maybe he would come over here and fill in the details, so here I am, looking for info.

Hi Sam,

I haven't heared anything yet from Gombessa.

So now that you're here are we going to have the recitals here?

Jane

Sam

Well, here I am - I couldn't make the username "Sam S"

I probably could have used JaneF but I only used the "F" in the other place because some interloper had commandeered my Plain Jane.
Gombessa seems like a nice guy. Just heard of his being banned at PW and it's a bit of a shock.

Sam

BartK I don't think I want to recreate the ABF recitals. And I won't abandon them as long as there is someone that wants to still contribute. Although I have the code and backups and all the old recordings.

It would be better to start over with something new and fresh and up-to-date. And easier to use? Anyway, that might be a task for a younger person. I am in the 70+ club now, and have been retired from IT for 10 years!

Does this site support attaching audio to a post? That would be a super simple way to do a recital. Attach the audio, put a link to the video, fill in the post with the comments. If you can schedule the post to appear at a certain time, then you are done - no need for an admin! Everybody that wants to participate schedules their post to appear at the same time and there it is! Navindra?

Probably a topic for another thread though...

Rubens

I didn't dare to ask Sam about organizing the recitals here because he literally just stepped in, but I have to admit that as soon as I saw his name...😁

Take your time, Sam!😀 and welcome.

SouthPark

At pianoclack - the other flarum type forum, there is an extra (enabled) upload option - an extra icon that looks like a piece of paper with an upward arrow (the upload symbol), which allows media (of pretty much any kind to be uploaded - eg. can be a pic, or a music audio file such as mp3, wav, flac etc. The flarum software correctly interprets the file-type and incorporates the upload into the posts - such as this one appropriately. That upload feature is excellent actually. That feature hasn't been added or enabled here though.

ShiroKuro

Welcome to everyone new who’s joining us!

If anyone has a way to contact Gombessa, please make sure he’s invited!!

Sgisela

ShiroKuro I think he’s on the roster.

Hi, I’ve just decided to migrate from PW. I didn’t post a lot there, but enjoyed very much the recitals, and the sense of community, and I hope we can recreate it here. It seems to be the right place.

Yes I believe that type of functionality is available via an extension. @navindra is this something that can be added? We can start a new thread if there’s more to discuss.

twocats

twocats I decided to report that person after all

So an interesting turn of events: Gombessa was unable to intervene as a moderator due to being banned, and much of the PW community is outraged by the ban but thankfully have a new home to go to (here!). And with PW potentially falling apart I received a very sincere apology from that person, which I accepted.

Perhaps we can all view this forum as a fresh start without the grudges from years past. We can all grow and change and become better people. I have been a PW member since 2015 but had been lurking since 2006 when I bought my first piano. That's almost two decades of being on PW, and I'm certainly a very different person from who I was then! This place has started off with a positive vibe and hopefully we can all keep it that way.
