I find the "fundraising" at the Steve Hoffman Forum pretty offensive.

Why?

 

Hoffman  is a self proclaimed "multi-millionaire"...that is a direct quote...and claims the forum costs $5000 a year

to run. Since he uses the forum to conduct personal business, promote his masterings, and solicit free gear and favors,

I cannot for the life of me understand why he does not write a check. One reason may be is he is a well known miser.

 

I also understand they collect far, far more than 5 grand every year, and there is never an accounting offered.

 

BTW, he is a trust fund baby, which makes his solicitation of free favors and gear even more distasteful.

 

 

I say , who cares. Its his site.  You start your own site, fund it yourself, make your own rules,. And put up with the BS a site owner goes through, Simple

If one wants to contribute, would you say an accounting of expenses should be available? Would you want to know if they raise 5 or 10x the target? Would it concern you if the entity was being used for material profit, yet was being run by donation?

Who cares, a person can contribute $1.00 if they want, There is NO contribution requirements, its voluntary.

 

No it doesn't concern me where the money goes. 

 

And as he noted, "
As you know by now, it costs over $5,000.00 a year to keep this place running smoothly.

Since we do not have banner advertising "" 

You pay taxes all kinds, do you know where all the money goes. NOPE.

I promise you Hoffman NEVER EVER "remixed" the first Doors album. He also claimed to have remixed several Beatle live releases, then later claimed to have just "heard" the master tape.

 

Bruce Botnick would NEVER EVER allow the multitracks out of his sights. He was asked about this and claimed no one ever touched those tapes but him. The 2 track mixdowns were liscensed out to DCC and to Analogue Productions..for CDs, and SACDs/ LPs.

 

Hoffman has a long record of making outlandish claims that later he either contradicts or are proven to be untrue.

True, Doug Sax did the mixing on the first Doors debut Album.
