Seems to me like we're all on the same trip. What do you think?
I think there should be just one techno board altogether, seems a bit divisive at the moment.
I mean the first pages of all techno boards cover these dates
Techno - beginning of June
Hard Techno - beginning of May
Experimental - beginning of April
Acid Techno - beginning of June
I know I read them all, and would be happier with less clicking.
i'm all for it.
i say do it, but keep both moderators...each is good in his own way...
one would be much better less clicking :lol: which is good for lazy ****ers like me
Yeah put em together...
yes
i reckon they should stay how they are, to me techno and what people class as "hard" techno these days are very different indeed
stay as it is,.
not only that, but that first techno sub-forum should be opened more for some discussions and debates, while "hard techno", "experimental", "acid" sub-forume are more for new releases...Quote:

Merge them all together I say.
Works well for other forums.
That way you get other perspectives on techno. Too much compartmentalisation as it is.
Also - just an aside - would it really hurt for there to be a little more irreverance? Does the techno board have to be limited to discussions on techno? I would read the board a lot more if it wasn't all so techno focussed on everything, and it would help forge a stronger sense of community.
I don't see the point is creating a million subforums for every possible strain of potential conversation topic. You just end up stifling discussion and debate.
Jus' my two cents...
I have tried to encourage conversation about all things techno in the techno forum, but there was the rather heated acid techno incident to name a few.Quote:

GREAT :lol:
back to the 'schranz is sh*t' type threads :roll:
your forum mr EG. your call
if it aint broke why try and fix it?????????
Can "your style is rubbish" threads not simply be ignored?
If it looks dull, don't read it. Works for me...
And then there is no need to create seperate forums to avoid this most terrible of conflicts, or even lock the threads. Unless people are being outright offensive locking topics seems a little draconian. And slighly wimpy.
if u merge the forums then your gonna get more of the "schranz is wank" kind of arguments because it throws together people who quite obviously have different definitions of the word techno... as it is now, people can go to the acid techno forum to talk acid techno, hard techno forum for hard techno etc etc
i dont see the problem with how it is, and the forums are open for any discussion within the subject range, it cant be helped if people just prefer to talk about new releases
I do understand the merging. Techno is waaay to splintered as it is. And to the average non techno person.Quote:

So maybe it should be merged. There`s too much inbreeding with all these sub sub genres anyway.
I`m sure you will still get arguments over content etc, but as long as these are kept friendly and intelligent, and aren`t allowed to fall into childish stabs, then I can`t see the problem.
well yeah of course there are always gonna be arguments, but i thought making a seperate forums was ideal and i personally wouldnt like to go back thats all, i dont think the merging of 2 forums on a chatboard is going to change techno one bit never mind drastically, the discussion on here carries on regardless so
i reckon merge the dark/experimental section in2 the techno section,its dryer than an nuns chuff,and has been for some time.this may also introduce a few people to some new sounds.
No thanks. The "hard techno" forum will just inflict this place with the same cliche threads that constantly pop up in there moaning about mp3, "schranz," etc.Quote:

tocsin...the schranz threads are almost all in the hard techno forum.
i said merge them earlier, but on second thought maybe it's better to do something about the other, umoderated, underpopulated forums first, and see how that goes...like merge the old school forum (population 6, it seems) into the techno forum.
Just going on what I've seen recently. But, hell, I don't care. Merge them all.Quote:

I do like the seperation of the musical styles, because if you don't it's far too easy for the most popular one to drown out other styles which just leads to people posting less about it over time until it all dies out and it simply lends itself to one style of music.
not that my opinion is worth owt but...
Hard + Dark
Electro + Experimental
yes.....i luv all styles of techno and would rather they were all together.
just a techno forum for it all.
No leave it as is.
I love horses best of all the animals.
There's no K-hole parties on SJ now cos the OB keep using the post as an excuse to do the rigs. phat.Quote:

the dark/experimental forum has to be moved to the techno fourm.
I think the forums are cool as they are but if by meging ot makes the board less chocca & not so many forums to hunt through then go for it.
Also for peeps like myself who still struggle with what kind of techno is what, by merging them it makes it slightly easier & more encouraging to go in to a forum & ask what certain tunes etc are, without getting *wrong forum* etc ;)
But also as said earlier *if it aint broke, then don't fix it*
Nah,merge em - it'll stimulate discussion.
Merge them....there is too much pigeonholing going on within the techno movement.
It's natural unfortunately, it can't be avoided. I guess it's progression in some ways when things splinter like they do.Quote:
