What is needed to improve the acid section.

[xes]

This place has been a bit lacking in posts/posters of late. So,as you acid freaks are the ones who post here,and love acid techno. I'd like to get some feedback on what I can do to improve this section of BOA.

Unfortunatly the massive database that Si had done,on releases is way too much work for a simpleton like me,so that's out of the question.

But i am open for suggestions on how to make this place a nicer place to live,like Boscaland

Find some decent music.

Proberbly sounds a bit camp, but id just like some general chit chat about acid techno from all the years gone by and the future, not ranting competitions all the time about tracks not being upto scratch compared with them from 1997 - so bloody boring!

That's not camp at all. This is what we need. Start an appropriate thread fella!

sorry,ment to quote the post,not edit it :cheese:

So chat then!

Problem is, IMO there's not much to talk about with the latest releases. Yea, I can talk about the old releases until the cows come home (with out comparing them to modern stuff!), but the bottom line for me is there's jack shit to say other than "I don't like the way everything seems to be heading down the schranz road" or "Do we really need a remix of a tune that was out a few months ago"

This forum was buzzing a while back before the new board kicked into place. We used to chat about everything and anything acid. Now if you look, we'll get 10+ people just viewing this forum with fu*k all to say. It's all acid files, or (and I say this with no disrespect to those whom it concerns) people bigging their own tunes up to fu*k.

I was going to edit your reply to say something rude and naughty,but I'm above that. :cheese:


It's cos the edit button is where the quote button used to be for me. :ohdear:

which is why we need to instigate more discussion.


Admitidly,there's not actually that much you can talk about,besides releases/parties/memory lane. It's a limited topic IYSWIM. Maybe we need to merge some of the techno forums.

i think a bit more positiveness about the present and the future would be good

i agree with you si that there aint a lot of great tunes coming out at the moment, but do we need more threads about how gash raw is etc? The scene is bound to go downhill if all us folks who love the music the most just sit around slagging it off all the time

I think it would be better if all the files were kept in one thread i'm always a bit dissappointed when i look in here and it's all file downloads and no chat

I can see why people big there own tunes up and i don't have a problem with that really - there's nothing wrong with being proud of your work - as long as you are open to critisicm too.

I'd like to see a few more threads that aren't just about the latest releases or file downloads, a bit more 'chat' and 'debate' if you know what i mean.

Generally though it's my favourite bit of blackout....

Guess so too,M8,i mean just look at the thread Xes brought up yesterday`Links to A T download files`,8 reviews,84 views,and actually 3 members posting,that explains a whole lot.Off course it´s a lot easier just watching the board than to get active,but if everyone behaves like that,this thing would die.

1/10 ratio is pretty standard for a thread across most boards i;'ve noticed (I'm a bit sad like that)

this is good,in future can people please post links to sets in the mp3 thread,instead of starting a new thread :)

[pat_mcgerkin]

More arguments - the lifeblood of all forums.

Nah, I dunno, just needs more people posting about anything other than whether or not acid's dead maybe?

[lunatrick]

to be honest I think it's a forum wide problem - this place has been a bit of ghosttown since they split things up so much.........
