Already gave up on my vintage PC hobby.
Driving hours to pick up LDs and players plus battling traffic, storage limitations and an eBay sale where USPS delivered an empty box which cost me $125 in seller refund / eBay & PayPal fees / USPS postage really put a damper on things. I sympathize man, valid considerations, give it a rest perhaps - Never give up - Never surrender - Damn the torpedo's FULL SPEED AHEAD --------------

substance wrote: I will definitely keep most of my LD gear and discs. I have invested too much into them and I can't get half back if I sold. Fortunately I can provide food and shelter to my family with other means. I might brexit the forum soon though. Just use the database and store. Too many trolls lately! I can see many of the true LD enthusiast left the forum already. That would be a pity, I for one enjoy and value your input to this forum. Perhaps sometimes it's best just to ignore the trolls (and/or hopelessly misguided) rather than over-engaging them. Yeah, call them out for what they are but no amount of logical argument will ever sway such people, and they always want to have the last word.

Then maybe you've set some kind of record for a short lived but intense LD collecting phase!

Not to pick on Julien (he's doing an excellent job!) but I feel like there's less and less worth reading plus I've lost interest in the format. I didn't really start with LD back in 2010 to argue with some jerk why current formats are better.

Not that easy perhaps but is it possible to just ignore the trolls/twats/muppets, can be hard when some swamp on almost everything though with virtually nothing productive. Hope you are here for a while to come but whatever all the very best & cheers for now.

nissling wrote: Man, remember when Laserdiscs were produced? Those were the golden days of film as a medium. The films looked just like 35mm, or even 70mm in some cases. The masters weren't compressed since there was no limitations in the medium. You could easily get 4000, 6000 or even 10.000 TVLs from a Laserdisc! Every player was perfect and provided no noise because there was no need to amplify a perfect medium. Every CRT set was in line with the very best grade-1 monitors used only be professional engineers at the big studios. Everything was affordable and you knew that there was no reason to invest in anything more in the future.
Then came DVD. And then Blu-Ray. We had such a nice time...
This is 101% troll... So, if you can't beat them.....

What I meant and wrote about trolls and haters are in general, they exist and grow in every forum and commentary fields on the Internet. I didn't name anybody here or stepped on someone's toes, I only replied to some of the words Firehorse_44 wrote.

However I think it's a problem when some people are misleading about what the format itself is capable of and how it stands in comparison to modern mediums. Currently I cannot say I plan on leaving LDDB but I honestly see the point in doing so rather than feeding some trolls here.
