thats gonna happen if you have 5600 people on the one board though. You should really just figure out which of the 'techno/electro' boards are 'really' needed and if they aint just lump em in here or something. I think the key is to create an area which promotes a bit of thinking & diversity without offending anyone else or crawling too far up it is own arse if you know what i mean OR worse stuff getting lost within lots of posts about one sub-genre or the other. Techno to me is Dan Bell/DJ Spooky/Adam Beyer/Neil Landstrumm/Regis/Maurizio all rolled into one, whilst being a techno nerd also means that I should have a solid connection with Acid House\Metal\Hardcore\Punk\Industrial\Noise\Ambient \EBM\Electro et all
for sure man, and this is why i really believe this forum was needed. especially after some great posts on a topic in the hard techno forum last week. god please this forum mustn't get to the stage of frustration like that one did. straight away after that post i could see that ppl were using that forum as the main techno forum yet it was called the wrong thing. can ppl just not start a topic next time they have a problem with the forum???? instead of letting it fester away and get everyone hot under the collar (well hey this aint gonna happpen this time cause there's gonna be bans dished out like crazy in this place if ppl don't start to stop being shitty towards each other).

i'm just asking you guys, if you really care about taking this forum forward, please pm me or dirty_bass and let us know when someone steps out of line. i know it sounds all schooly but i really don't care. we're all in this together, trying to make a change and unless we all club together and respect each other, this forum is pointless. only me and dirty_bass have the power to tell someone to f off so if you really believe someone should f off for being a total and utter ass hole, let us know instead of being gay and arguing about it on a forum.

sorry about all this ppl. 90% of you are absolutely amazing members. you've helped shaped this board into what it is, but we all mustn't lose it. if you care about techno and this board then let's get it on. if you don't the get yourself off ;)
