My negative input in here is what keeps my email box filled with people asking me for an honest opinion about production stuff I guess.

but you still haven`t really said what another mod would do in here,.

And there is nothing negative about pointing out observations.
It`s true, we have lost a lot of people to some other forums, I see them in other places now, and most felt like they were barking up the wrong tree as this place got very clubby/acid oriented, and lacking in diversity.
What`s negative about that?
I`m saying we need more diversity, which is a POSITIVE thing.

Now how is a mod going to do this?

Put up some more sticky`s?
Some competitions?
Remixes for your record label?

It`s all been done in the last 4 years man, this place is cyclic and will pick up, it`s just dull this time of year, as people have better things to do.
I don`t actually think anything needs to be done.
the production section backs this place up nicely for more hardcore technique, and this is a good place to place your tracks for criticism.
If anything we just need a little sticky saying
"please check your ego when posting a track, if you don`t want any critical statements, don`t place your tracks in a forum where they can be critiqued"
Other than that, it`s all gravey in here.
