ART was formed with the idea of embracing the good that could come from discussion forums like these, while reducing or eliminating the bad. While not everyone agrees on everything, everyone agrees not to stoop to personal attacks or they don't post here. You might see a disagreement, but you won't have to endure people calling your mother a whore and stuff like that.

What you'll get on ART is a place to exchange ideas that recognizes and appreciates your contributions. You'll be able to exchange ideas about audio with other enthusiasts, both professonal and non-professional alike. You can obtain support from companies through their sponsored forums. You're at a website that won't allow others to use it as a way to stalk you. You won't have to endure personal attacks. You won't get filtered information because of selective "moderation." You won't see favoritism, where some people are allowed to do things that you can't. You won't see commercial or self-promotional posts from a select few, while others are refused. In short, what you'll get is a fair and ethical place to discuss audio. The rest is up to you.
