well to me its just about the people that visit those pages
some people who visit the experimental / dark techno pages aren't gonna be into pages of people prattling on about beyer/simms/liberaotor etc
but the acid techno guys and the hard techno guys seemed to cross over a lot and the styles in some areas of the music were every similar.
and i just didn't think it fair to seperate acid techno off when it was obvious the club/hard techno forum would remain the "main" one because all the gang either techno heads or acid techno ( or both!!!) would still go there first.

it's more about the people actually using the forums and the relationships we've all struck up than a musical segregation thing.
i'd just like to feel confident that when i submit a new topic that people like downwards,ze migl, buttman and all the other techno heads will read it as well as the acid techno heads because it's good to get a balanced opinion.

that's my view
perhaps some feel it's just not right to have acid and techno in the same sentence but to them i say....
