Word just came down from STeVE that his super-special secret project got cancelled.
What's more, AF has stopped releasing new titles, suspended their subscription service (or at least stopped accepting new sign-ups), and seem to be dumping their own archives of past releases.
In addition to this (or as a result of it), SHite snarkiness towards STeVE & AF, which before would have been reported and gorted out of existence, seems to be sticking around longer than ever.
My take is that AF is rapidly circling the drain. And when it goes, STeVE's (so-called) "career" will effectively be over as well.
Hoffman did himself no favors with that special project thread – boasting about it in the OP, going AWOL in it for months (but having the time to reopen ancient threads nobody cared about), then coming up with the lamest excuse possible for the project's cancellation.
It's almost time for the yearly donation drive (using Karla's Paypal account), so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out this time around.
What's your take?

I think the fun is just beginning. Who knows what kind of bat-shit anarchy will ensue over there? Maybe a sensible gort takes over and purges the assholes (which would leave us a shortage of material.) Or maybe some asshole gort takes over and the place becomes a blatant and unfiltered cesspool. (or something in between)
And as for STeVE himself, well, this could be a new and interesting chapter. Someone with his ego doesn't go quietly into the night (no matter how many vics they've taken.)

It could be argued that STeVE's "career" never really got started in the first place. So it's pretty much a case of nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
Yo STeVE, still enjoying that free Mac? You know, the one "they" sent you? Dumbass.

For non Kool-Aid drinking observers the degree of stupid in the flock over there can be difficult to accurately assess. My take, and hardly surprising, is that it goes much, much deeper than a reasonable peopson would believe.
Having said that I will make and take book that if Your Host were to announce the Forum Fundraiser 2018 today - while all the fresh horseshit is still out in the open and smelling putridly - he'd get his five grand. And six or seven, if he asked for it.
I'm prepared to eat a generous helping of crow should the Fundraiser 2018 not meet its yearly goal.

My take: 1) Audio Fidelity is already over and done with. Yawns ensue, etc. 2) Hoffman's "career" — i.e., his mastering hobby, as opposed to his actual vocation as a full-time asshole with a dwindling trust fund — has been over for a while. Even AF didn't have much use for him in their final years. That was already about four rungs below "useless," for those keeping score. 3) SH.tv isn't going anywhere, because STeVE has nothing else, zero, zilch, at this point. All he has left is the hopes of sucking at the teat of free magic cable and coat rack swag and desperately basking in the reduced glow of the meager remains of retardo hero worship from the likes of M*****l, Gnrat, and the other diehard faithful few mentally challenged sippy cup-slurping Kool-Aid drinking SHitheads who will always happily throw a significant portion of their SSI checks at that there millionaire, bucko. 4) A "sensible gort" is an oxymoron. They will continue to be what they have always been (the Sea Org of the Kingdom of SHite) and do what they have always done: venerate and protect their pigeon-toed, clay-footed mullet god — or bearded old lesbian goddess, or whatever the hell you call that look their senile deluded dickhead dictator is sporting these days. 5) In other words, SH.tv will be — already is, really — a much diminished joke of a forum, which just may make it even more entertaining for us. It has of course always been a joke: a chintzy Xanadu built by a puny man with delusions of grandeur (and the very lameness of said grandeur has always been the punchline that writes itself), but its glory days (going by the criterion of bottom-feeder philistine SHitethink) of ... what would it be, 40+ page threads dreaming and speculating about STeVE's hopefully imminent prospects for remasturbating the Night Ranger catalog are 100% guaranteed *finito*. 6) It will, however, all end when Steve ends, which could be soon. Look at the man. I doubt he will outlive Marsha. If AF does go down for the count, then it will be increasingly hard for Hoofy to maintain his aura, except among the completely dyed-in-the-wool retards like M*****l, Gnrat, and others who lack the mental capacity to figure out 2+2. At least with Marsha tossing Guff a bone now and again, there was the impression (no matter how slight) that STeVE was in demand and his "fecal breath" (or whatever the fuck he calls it) was viable markeing gimmick. However, with AF out of the picture, Hoffman is 100% unemployed. He has no prospects anywhere else. His career as an EQ consultant is effectively over. STeVE probably would continue SH.tv for the reasons you mentioned, but I think he might also announce his "retirement" as a way to save face due to his completely unemployable status.

Conveniently, isn't this the year he turns 65? This would be the ideal time for such an announcement; he could make it sound like it was in the cards all along. As for money, I hope he bought a bunch of those low-numbered AF releases. A few smartly chosen #5's and a #8 could pay for his retirement.

Hi Steve! This company has a job opening for a senior aged eq consultant with golden ears... 707-829-7772I put my reputation on the line for you, pal, so don't fuck it up. They would not hire him as a janitor.

His Wikipedia page has been slipping since the old SC forum's demise

I'm surprised they let STeVe have his drum kit in the care home.

The head of that floor tom looks like it's never been hit. So much fake posing in this guy's life.

Those look like some vintage fucking silver dot heads from the 80s. I've been playing since I was 12 (1994) and I have never seen the silver dots, only the black ones.
But we know how the SHites feel about blacks.
