I don't see any need to leave. There have been some very, worryingly dramatic characters and issues over the years, but this is an internet site for artistic people. You expect it to get messy every now and then 
Often I have the site open when I make music. It's nice to take a breather when you're on a roll. And there's a lot of exceptional knowledge here. It's also pretty much my only outlet for electronic music. My old internet musician friends never talk anymore, all the old communities and forums are dead, and there's next to nobody in real life.

I have a friend like you, he's always so damn positive and it makes it damn near impossible to be grumpy around him.Sendy wrote:I don't see any need to leave.

Never!
I learned a lot here.
I like the synth sound making thing, and the deep stuff in hpc, though the rest is really not my thing.
Also like a lot of the music you can hear here.
No need to go.

My avatar don't take no charity though, just saying. Donnie and Marie, what can I say, they're pretty apple pie and all that.jancivil wrote:I would want to provide y'all with sandwiches... tho you kinda look like you'd like a niceghettosynth wrote:Yea, so who wants to punch my avatar?
Of course, the slightly less well known Osmond clearly eats the best. I guess that's what happens when you're the baby of the family. Talk about a punch-able face.

What's not right is that record went to number one in the U.K. Number f**king one! I'm pretty sure that Jimmy lived vividly in the fantasies of portly teenage girls who felt that they had found a star who wasn't out of their league.jancivil wrote:HA! That's not right.
LOL @ Donny the dumbass. What's he doing there?MARIE: WHY would you want to put LSD in the president's tea?
This is cute and not annoying.

I've tried many times. I even tried to be a philosopher and study philosophy at the uni. It didn't work. Now I'm back on KVR and hopefully, it's for the best!

You suck that much at Philosophy? A pity, according to the rumours this profession really pays off.SampleScience wrote:I've tried many times. I even tried to be a philosopher and study philosophy at the uni. It didn't work. Now I'm back on KVR and hopefully, it's for the best!

leave? It's a forum, I understand why some people are gone for good but to actually up and leave goes against my basic nature....never say never and all that stuff. I made a commitment to the diy forum and I check in 4-7 days a week. But I'm going on 13 years here, I have bought one piece of gear in two years (but my studio is quite active), some very good friends are gone from KvR but are on FB and I seriously have a lot going on in my life.
Over the years I have stopped taking part in many topics, I wont argue about hosts because I am not trying to talk anyone into anything and I'm quite happy with Samplitude. I am not getting involved in guitar sim threads because my use of sims is all but gone. Effects are not much interest to me because Samp has what I need and as far as VSTi's I have all I need...sensing a theme? I've run out of gas and in more ways than one.
Meanwhile I do have a life, after a huge battle with a VA to get real care and not just maintaining my status quo I have been very active in anxiety classes and real therapy for my PTSD. At this time last year I was in the middle of the fight, by the middle of the summer I was finally getting what I needed and now my life has taken a 180° turn. The timing couldn't have been better because my mom has taken a serious turn and much of my life has been dedicated to her care (she'll be 90 June 1st).
Old timers might remember ten years ago me taking care of my dad 24/7 and it was literally ten years ago we moved him in. Times have changed, then I had incredible help from many good friends here, Big Karma, Meffy, Muff Wiggler, Chuck e Jesus, Pao, Bluedad, BERFAB just to name a few (but there was so much support it's tough to name them all). Now the climate has changed and that's fine but ftr even my FB friends or friends I grew up with do not know all that I am dealing with as I do not talk about it at all. The truth is I just cannot handle the onslaught of sympathy, I do not want it nor need it.
I have come to a major crossroads in my life, those friends I have shown support for and reached out to for support in the past are on FB for the most part and I can reach them anytime via PM. There are a few exceptions that are only here but tbh I have no clue where our online friendship stands and sometimes that's just how it goes. On top of that I had a serious health scare of my own last fall that put a lot in perspective for me. It was my fellow vets that were there for me then and I got through it. That was just a few months after losing a good friend which was another ey opener as we were only 45 days apart in age.
Now just last week the VA has approached me and asked me if I would like to be a peer counselor taking calls from vets in crisis. This is an amazing opportunity for me as it fits in with my future plans which involve moving far from any VA (I would still come back to Mass once a month anyhow for family reasons) and the extra cash wouldn't hurt. And on top of all that my son had his fifth child last November so now I have five grandkids.
I'll never leave KvR, I hope I still have some friends here but 2015 and so far 2016 have been remarkable years for me (I cannot leave out that my daughter did graduate as well which many know was a lot of time and work on my part). I will check in on the diy forum and when all the dust settles I might have more time to be the old Hink. Right now though everyday is a new normal for me and I just never know what to expect. I love KvR, I have great friends but now I have expanded my support system to include people who truly know me, understand what I am going through and have been through and that's working for me. But I'll be around so no need for anyone to be a stranger and my PM is always on, best wishes to all

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.
