Quality Control & This Forum

[Internal Error Records]

Hi Gang,
Been away a bit. Skimmed over this thread.

My abreviated 2 cents -

This website (and any forum, and all the internet) - has done alot of good for humanity. The reality is, the negavity (true negetavity, and negativity wrongfully intertretted by the listener/reader) has followed close behind any benefits of the internet.

It has brough all our good, and all our evil closer.

I for one have always enjoyed this forum. Even the parts that piss me off (anger is a great motivator for change).

I can only speak for my own experiences. But I do believe the cures to the techno world will not be found on the internet. Because a new probablem will always be fast behind.

Whatever made techno work in 1995 will ultimatly be what makes techno work in 2005. And that boils down to more action and less chatting.

Whirled Peas,
Gil

...ive met a lot of cool people on here and i respect the boa comunity very much, just sometimes as an artist at the more bottom end of the ladder like many others on here its nice to hear wot the more well known and popular artist have to say.the thing that gets me is when some well known artist start`s conducting themselves in an none gentleman manner and not acting good roll models for the younger guys pushing themselves through the ranks, they must remember there are people who respect them and look up to them. ;)

Sure, but many a time, its all a misunderstanding. Sometimes mentors or veterans may come off pretty harsh because its for the greater good. Its nothing personal. They're not going to come out and bull***t you, they're gonna tell it to you like it is and its even more crucial when the industry is fragile. So its really for the student or the younger guys to be mature enough to not take things personally and take heed of the viewpoint or advice and move on, I feel. I never take what any veteran say personally, only contructively.

yes true mate im hearing you its just when you hear people going on like a load of old farts it takes the enjoyment outa things and makes things uncomfortable. ;)

Im pretty sure the forum has gone downhill since all these sub-forums were made, i just dont understand why they need to be there, this is a public forum not a library..
Dont know about the other folk that seem to have drifted off lately but I just really cannot be bothered to check all the sections for a thread that interests me, so all that happens is i end up not posting.
Also the forum has had a serious humour bypass in the last six months. There was a time back then when the whole forum started to be about rules; the humour began to dry up as staying on topic was enforced and the interesting interaction of personalities and views was lost with all the divided subsections.

good points, all, but i think things were also getting out of hand in a few cases, and mark sort of had to put the smack down.

i wouldn't mind folding the acid techno and old school sections back into hard techno...i def miss seeing some of the acid techno people in here, even though i don't personally listen to that style, and i've begun to realize that i'm one of maybe 4 or 5 people who posts in the old school section.

maybe it's my fault

maybe it's my fault

no it's not.

[SlavikSvensk]

the problems on this board i think are a reflection on the problems techno is facing...we're too inbred as a community and too segregated by subgenre...

[massplanck]

maybe it's my fault

for what? doing a decent job where others would proably fail miserably.

no blaming yourself.
