SMD Forums

I have seen a few post here stating this place is dead. To go to SMD Forums. There hasn't been any action there since 2015. At least here we have a few active members.

Yup

Facebook groups killed forums… diyaudio mobile has most traffic.

That would be a hard pass from me. Hated that forum.

Yeah I frequent the classifieds there

SMD forums have periodic postings. I stop by once in a while and there's a few new posts.

But it is light traffic.

I posted my previous build there but havent been on it a few years. I don't use FB so I either post here or IG. Diyma is still pretty busy but ist's pretty sq centric and only a few people color out side the lines. edit: tons of great info over there though.

I don't go there because I think steve meade is as arrogant as johnathan price.

See, I like Steve and his content since he started the beginning of YouTube, always seemed like a decent guy to me having fun with audio gear like many of us, but I did not like the forums. I haven’t been on the SMD forum in probably 12-13 years.

I liked the CACO forums, sad that one changed hands a few times and was basically dead last time I checked there. I hate the layout they have now.

I’ll say I never liked having tons of accounts, so did not even sign up to most of the forums, hence being a fairly new member here, I mean I browsed for many years, just never signed up.

I won’t join any groups like the Facebook crap, so I’ll never use any of that. I don’t even really mess with car audio / audio gear anymore, so I don’t browse any of it very often anyway.

Yeah I have talked to Steve Meade. He is a little cocky. He is definitely not a Budget build kind of guy.

There are some informative threads over there but I don't think the board is terribly active, from what I've seen there was just too much snobbery and fanboyism.

Who owns this forum?

 

[AnthonyO]

@Goob; What would it take to make this the forums of old. Where sponsors want to spend money and advertise here. Do we need more active moderators?

 

[AnthonyO]

There is nothing he can do. He alienated the people that made this place successful. They aren't coming back.

Want his phone number? You can talk to him about his stupid ass mistake.

What was the mistake? Enquiry minds want to know.
