Just because you don't talk about it doesn't me it doesn't exist.

I don't see how the "negativity" rule here has affected what you are saying. I've hardly been silent with my own opinion that doesn't exactly seem to be the popular one for the majority of techno enthusiasts here and nobody has censored me as a result. It's not like I know a soul here either. I live across thousands of miles of ocean from most of you. I'm not a fan of excessive board rules in general but I see nothing harmful, in the end, about one suggesting that people don't make posts that say "X just sucks." So far, it seems that you could say anything sucks so long as you provide some reasons supporting your opinion.

Also, I'd love the ability to edit posts as well.

Just how is that relevant? You're not understanding the deeper level that I'm talking about, this isn't just about saying Umek sucks cos I say so and here's why. If you can't understand what I'm saying I'd better give up cos I've tried three times now and you guys did ask us what we thought. Just cos loads of people support a view doesn't make it right.

I also think we should have the edit button back, cut down the number of techno forums as well. I hang in the Dark, but it may as well be called Regis and Surgeon forum :twisted: but that suits me just fine.

Yeah, should be a hard techno forum and a namby pamby techno forum! ;) Or perhaps a UK one and a euro one, that'd be ok... Or just the techno forum!

i think the id section should be merged with one of the techno forum as hardly anyone uses the id section.We should be helping each other out

Mark you should be the last to say anything for real!

see; thing is you can repeat yourself.


and you can be proud of that or whatever. but i laid out my case earlier in this thread what have you done but tell people to be insincere? should i be happy that techno is run by a bunch of profit droolers, no. should i be happy that i can't rely on my friends cause they'd sell me out you know what? it happened.. there is no loyalty in music. there's only attention and denigration. THAT is why i CAN speak lastly.

who should be speaking last? you want to pull that negative nancy card on me. at least take my case apart then. cause i'm speaking from experience. so what you have on me that gives you the right to try and make me shut up.
you're a great guy tony; i have mad respect for you. just think about what i'm saying here.[/quote]

Way I see it, even a rose has it's thorns and I really don't see all this neg stuff people keep eluding to, I'd rather someone beat me up that endless tell me to have a nice day, but I'm a pretty sick individual.

i'm bringing this one back from teh dead...but not the feuding part...the part about writing what i would like to see change on the new site (if it's still possible to add input).

let's move the old school forum into the techno forum. only like 4 people post there other than me, and these topics seem to fit perfectly within the general techno forum.

So why keep discussing how people shall talk to each other, how the forum should be administrated and moderated? I just think its pointless !!

Moderators are here to make discussion stay in what they think, so people can dare whatever they want, you wont be banned for a stupid post... I agree with Adverse, we should keep straight the way we are otherwise the discussions will be tasteless, anyways the mods are here to stiop the discussion when it goes wrong.

To go back to the topic of the thread (the future of this forum) i just think we should go back talking about our personnal feelings and share our exeperience. For sure we have to do that in each other respect, thinking everybody has different tastes. Thas by sharing personnal things we can progress !

i don't understand what you mean here.
what do you want to see?
what personal things are you talking about?
there have been many good discussions recently , some have been funny and pointless some have been crude and upsetting and some have been intellectual and creative.
they've provided me with a good read , and the feeling that i am part of a group of like minded people, and an insight into techno music and the people who play/listen to it and love it.
is that not what a techno forum is for?
i don't know tioneb , i'm not being sarcastic here , you are an intelligent guy and i enjoy reading your posts , but you haven't been here much recently ( well not posting anyway ) and i think you've missed something.
please be a bit more specific so i can understand you.

yea iam looking forward to the new site, because i have to admit this is getting like whos the biggest philosopher with there bounced back views hogging up 4 out the 5 pages on a thread, thats why i only check it out like every 4 weeks.

yeah i promise the new site is up soon!!

philosiphers welcome though :( hehehhe

thing is i've got one of the parts of it being designed by some other bloke and as you all probably know, 'other blokes' in this web design game are a pain up the bloody ****. probably why i decided to design the whole thing myself in the first place hehhe. hmmm i could have gone with what i did on this but i thought this bloke would have really taken things forward. i'lll give him a few weeks and if he doesn't come up with the s, i'll forget it.

anyway whatever happens, i'm really focused on this damn Anxious PA at the mo, but i've got alot of travelling to do in the next few months so HOPEFULLY i can really get this sorted.

DAMN this web thing just takes 2,000 times longer than you anticipate.

:doh: :lol:

Can't Front I Agree.

i wish we had some technical threads of that length in the producer section.
about topics like arrangement, eqing, pre-mastering, fx,
tips and tricks, mmmh. that would be far more helpful than slating artists or discussing things to death, imo. i mean i really am up for discussion but some topics really are going nowhere here. ;)

If you don`t like it, don`t read it, don`t moan about it, and say something interesting.

Oh hang on, I got an idea.

Who`s your favourite DJ?

so what do you think has made the board less interesting? (just curious, not flaming or arguing...)
