Sounds good!

So Anker Community PowerBucks taking the Soundcore Notes / Tickets route… Hope the leaderboard thing is not adopted…

Leaderboard doesn’t work, as soon as you attach prizes you get a needless daily thread to earn points and fake accounts to vote your own choices up. Doesn’t cause true interest.

All for activities to drive interest in Anker. You’d think Anker would want that too.

my other question is will the new community get rid of the ghosts? I will miss the ghosts of @ndalby and @Duane_Lester as well as a couple of others that I have that show up from time to time. (they will be missed but would also be nice to not always think I have a notification when really its a ghost from the past trying to talk to me :rofl: )

Of course we need these ghosts.
Only these show great activity!

They are important.
At the end of this forum only these ghosts will take part and be active. :rofl:

The famous ANKER-ghosts!

They do make up a lot of the activity on here and it’s always fun to be visited by them every once in a while

How about testing devices in real-world scenario’s with the average Joe’s? This isn’t about free equipment; this isn’t to bash influencers or professional testers either; they absolutely have their place. I’ve said this several times in the past, but I would much rather read an honest review/testing situation in a forum or watch a shaky cam video on YouTube than to watch a video of a tester that has had something for three days then making a review.

For instance, I have several Anker products recently that I have purchased on my own dime; PowerStation, cables, portable batteries, etc. In one example, I bought a PowerStation 521 about 6 months ago and have only used a few times in different scenarios; I’ve considered making a review but I couldn’t in good conscience make a review without it having a real-world full on test. I also found a pretty critical issue with their barrel connector for solar input; they thanked me for the information (along with other users) but how much easier would it have been to give this to a long term user for testing?

It concerns me that the Testing/PowerUsers sections are not going to be there; that, in my mind, puts this idea in the coffin.

I’m off my soapbox now :slight_smile:

No clue at all I’m hopeful though even if mason hasn’t been on as much seems Anker official is at least some what on more than in the past

#75

Possibly one and the same…
