Overall most threads have a short life span. If you peruse the older threads and look at the members involved, many of those have not been on in a while. Some still will be but I’ll see several names I won’t recognize at all. This thread is some three years old. OP is no longer around but the next two still are and were actually both logged in at crazy hours this morning. To me that was comical, looking at patterns.I don't understand. People who get banned may have, prior to their ban, started useful threads. Those threads survive and continue to draw responses. As someone with severe tinnitus, I'm happy to see this thread occasionally float to the top again.
So what do you find comical? That's a serious question; I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm trying to understand how the forum is not working in the way it is expected to by you, a valued member.
And I agree, this thread has been useful, tinnitus is horrible and I’ve learned some things in this thread, hence why I clicked on it again.
