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?

ShiroKuro

Rubens I wonder who the other flying monkey is. @ShiroKuro ?

I certainly hope so! 😁

PianoDad

ShiroKuro I had no idea what on earth you folks were talking about, so I went back to the PW thread. What a flame war that is turning into....

Does Ret remember that you were a long time moderator there?

ShiroKuro

But yes, let’s take the high road and focus on the situation, rather than criticizing individuals.

Pallas

I like the current name just fine. I see no problem with it.

Also, I understand frustration with individuals, but taking the high road and not discussing that here is a much better look for this new endeavor. The cleaner it stays, the more legit and honorable it looks, which is for the good of this community, which I'm enjoying and appreciate. Pm would be a more harmless way to blow off steam, imho.

I didn't mean for it to start a discussion as it was just a joke (that I still find hilarious). How better to deal with being called names than to own it? But I'll take it down as you're right, we should take the high road here 🙂

“We judge ourselves by our intentions and everyone else by their actions.”

That’s a quote (that circulates often in management courses, psychology articles, etc.) I’ve shared before with leaders whom I’ve provided leadership coaching to (in a current/previous profession of mine). And it’s one that I try to internalize as well.

For some reason I thought about that amidst some recent posts above. 🙂

Stub

I think PianoTell is a fine name. "Piano Talk" is perhaps more descriptive, but it reminds me of pillow talk, which doesn't do much for me. [Smile emoji here. I need to learn how to do emojis here.] I think if the official name is Piano Tell World Forum it should turn up if someone searches 'piano' and 'forum', yes?

No one has mentioned Piano Street as another piano discussion site. I haven't visited there in some time, but it has been around awhile.

Here's a tutorial!

Stub If I search (using Google) for "piano tell forum", it finds PW, Piano Clack, Piano Street but not Piano Tell.

ShiroKuro

For a while I was regularly on Piano Street and PW at the same time... I can't remember why I stopped visiting Piano Street. Maybe I didn't like the all-black look?? Probably it was a "vibe" thing, as I recall, it had a pretty different from compared to PW.
I thought Piano Street had gone away as a site, but someone recently said that it is still active. Anyway, I'm fine with the piano sites I'm in at the moment.

rsl12 , thanks!! 🙂

I started out classical but came on over to the dark side. LOL!! Haven't played classical in decades but love some good ol' Piano Jazz. 🙂

Also haven't played an acoustic piano in quite a while, either. Most of my play time is on a Roland RD-2000. And to think, I used to be a piano tech. (That's what the handle is, actually, a "bellyman" being someone who builds soundboards, bridges, pinblocks, that kind of thing. It's been a long time since I've done any of that, too.)

twocats My philosophy comes after a lifetime of wanting to punch mean people in the face. I still have anger issues, and a twisted sense of humor, so for the record, I found your signature hilarious. But I refuse to give other folks reasons to jeer. Call it aggressive courtesy.

David-G it'll take some time to become a trusted site: https://forum.pianotell.com/d/693-still-un-googlable

David-G Google algorithms are complex and what is shown varies between users. For me this site is the top result if I google the same phrase "piano tell forum".

David-G

candela Interesting. If I search with Duckduckgo Piano Tell comes at the top of the list.

ShiroKuro

David-G Another reason to use DDG! Google is pretty unreliable. But there is a time lag, so if people keep posting here, eventually it will start to show up.

PianoMonk

Duckduckgo is way better than Google. Search engines in general sometimes take a while to sort out new offerings. I think most of the PW refugees will have no trouble finding PT.

MusicMe

Hello everyone! Yes, I used to be on piano world. I won't be posting there anymore - although I really didn't post a lot. I love reading and learning from others and post when I feel I have something to offer. Thank you, ShiroKuro, for suggesting Piano Tell.

rsl12

rsl12 There are still a lot of forums that don't realize what has happened, so if no one from those forums (digital, tuners, pianist, teacher, composer) posts something letting them know what is happening by tomorrow evening, I guess I will.

I know I said this yesterday, but looking at PW now, I think I will wait until there is a new development. The existing Gombessa/Pianotell threads there are petering out from exhaustion it looks like, and I don't want to aggravate the situation by appearing to stir the pot. Particularly in forums where I'm not a regular contributor.

I think anyone who visits PW regularly is aware of the drama by this point and I don't think it's necessary anymore.

PW nomad here!

I agree. I think it's best if we use our time and energy for piano tell.

I'm not sure! I think there are people who stick to the Pianist Corner and Tech area and don't venture out much. I think if nothing happens in the next week or two it's fair to post there with an update that it seems clear that VS is either ignoring the situation or that PW is so low on their priority list that they haven't even seen what's going on. It is summer and maybe the admin is on vacation.
