The server told me it's up to you guys. ;o) Far as I'm concerned any current or ex-paris user is more than welcome. Indeed while it's technically a Paris group, anybody with valuable input is welcome in my books...

I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you? http://www.polesoft.com/refer.htmlMy 2c on this discussion, for what it's worth... I'd like to think most people here are open to other DAWs. Paris has been unsupported for several years. I'd like to think that most people still have respect for Paris, and understand that there are still things it does well, but are also things it's now behind on naturally. This group, more than any other group, is always going to be the best place to come to for anyone with a Paris related question, simply because of the history of those the group has attracted, being Paris users. If you're looking for info on Paris, no other group is going to be of more help. But if I was to go all Nazi and implement some kind of blanket ban on posts not related directly to Paris, this place would be awefully quiet and pretty boring IMO, and no doubt die a slow death. The reality is there is less and less to say about a system which has had no development for half a decade. I'd like to think, as the group moves forward, there will be certain basic things it will take with it. (*) It will continue to be the best place for Paris info, even though the actual user base is bound to deplete further. Not much can be done about that. No other group is likely to become more useful for Paris info than this one. (*) It will become a place where people can openly discuss other systems. Many other systems have their own forums, but often getting unbiased advice in such places is difficult, as the forums can be full of fanbois. Here hopefully people can get useful information, and everyone can appreciate that all systems have their advanta…
