Why have this forum?

The only thing I want to do is talk about MPCs. No thread has any impact on its release date. But threads in this forum have and will most likely continue to have some influence on the development of future MPCs. That is how I have always played my part....feature requests threads for every new MPC before and after its release. No way am I playing victim.

Now my actions countering the negativity towards MPCs has been very unpopular....primarily for those not interested in this product which results in silly back-n-forths. This eventually turns off those interested in the Ren from frequenting this forum...as well as product developers. These individuals were allowed to basically attack Dan and Andy and then the threads eventually locked.

Why have this forum if negativity is the only reason it exists? No other forum is ran this way.

I see it like this.

There are beta testers other than dude on this forum, and that is a good thing as we have some of the most experienced multiple MPC users around. However beta testers are recruited to test products in the privacy of their own homes and provide valuable feedback to the development team. Beta testers are not supposed to be leaking information or otherwise undermining the work of the development/ marketing teams who are ultimately responsible for launching the product to market.

It is pointless starting countless threads about the Ren when clearly the audience do not have access to the same information that a beta tester has. A one-sided discussion cannot be beneficial in any way. The beta tester is contractually prevented from disclosing certain information to the public due to commercial sensitivities. To my knowledge, no other beta testers on this forum or elsewhere have said a word about these new products, in respect of the agreements they have signed up to. That is the 'all or nothing' approach which generally works well when people are able to resist the temptation to gloat. If beta testers would just do their job in the desired manner and be quiet about what they know or have, there would be far less nonsense going on in this forum. The usual speculation and anti-Akai sentiments would no doubt prevail in the absence of any official communication from Akai, but that's to be expected in advance of a new line of products. It's an Akai product, let them market it.

What doesn't help is that we have forum members who act like little kids, trying to corner dude and force information out of him. He cant tell you what you want to know. People need to calm down and wait for official announcements, or just speculate to pass the time. Agree, disagree, discuss and debate it all contributes to a lively forum, but can we not do this in a dignified, mature way?

There is not much else to say about the Ren at this point. If beta testers spend more time testing and less time talking or posting pics in forums, I'd be happy.
