Well

And then there were none!

What a sad state of affairs, it seems that Pipeline has stopped posting as he said he would in his last post on this thread. 7 days back.

Such a shame as I always found his post helpful and informative. And sometimes downright brilliant like writing installers for things like his new BIAB Gui colouring routine.

I have to say as a relatively new user here only 2 years, for some reason it can seem a bit cold and exclusive on occasion, I feel like the invisible man sometimes. sick
It seems ok to ask simple question and there are many folks keen to help.
But if you stick your head above the parapet best wear your tin hat.
Mind you this happens on many forums it is often hard to enter the inner core members circle.
Oh well beginning to ramble here, but it is a shame to loose Pipelines valuable input
So I will get back in my box
Best regards to all
Mike

My reward for giving occasional help on the forum is two things: first, I learn more about the program; second, I get to see the people who were helped start helping others. It's been this way since the prior forum software back in the later 1990s.

I do not recall a case where PG Music suspended any long-time poster from the forum, as was mentioned before. Then again, if certain people stopped posting, I don't know how or why I could know the reason.

Pipeline gave us all a jolt, in a good way. I sincerely hope he returns.

I have learned a ton from pipe & others for sure, it is sad to see folks just up & go...but in internet land we all have our reasons for posting - not posting on forums.

The one thing I will say is this forum has mostly been a POSITIVE experience for as long as I have been here, and I appreciated everyone of you that help us "old nubees" out!

Yes, all is forgiven (not that there was anything to forgive in the first place!)

We would really like to hear from you again Pipeline. (Actually, we need you more than you need us... )

There is nothing to forgive him for that I know of.
He is/has been a very valuable contributor, especially to experienced users (his tips were often not for beginners but rather schooling some of us). He figured out how to 'make things work' and shared his knowledge.
I miss him too.
I learned a lot from him.

That said, I also gladly accept and revere his voluntary contributions and reluctantly accept his choice to take a break. Maybe he got tired of finding ways to make things work.
Hopefully frustration fades and he continues posting some time in the near future. I'd like to see it.
As for the original post; yes he was definitely a Power User. Like I said, he taught me a lot.

Not that he needs any validation, just acknowledging his help.
Miss him.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

FWIW - I think that anyone who shares their expertise with others are forum heroes!

Wait - I always thought the line was, "All be Bach." All these years I had that wrong? I think we could all live very well by All be Bach.

"I'll be back" / "All be Bach"


Although, with Arnold being Austrian, I figure he would instead say, "I'll be hidin'" /"All be Haydn".
