all this toys out the pram shit can be summed in basically between 2 choices. Them being....

a) post your tracks up for constructive criticism
b) dont post your tracks up for constructive criticism

it genuinely, honestly is that simple when you think about it. New Mod's and all that rubbish just people trying to justify wasting too much time online, its pretty much null and void in a forum like this one, where barring the odd heated discussion, there is just genuinely not much need, if any at all, for a mod. Everything that has been mentioned here has been done, many, many times before, and with usually negative ending. There were certain mod's who thought it put them above others etc when they didnt have the skills to back up the talk etc, it just creates the invisible hierarchy, which, according to most, is something we definately need less of here

seriously ive been here now for about 5, maybe 6 years (its longer than 4 steve!!!) and this place goes in cycles as already said. Everything in techno slows down at this time of the year, from sales to releases, to events etc, it makes perfect sense that its not exactly booming in here. The other forums arent exactly overcrowded at the moment either to be honest

you should just genuinely let this place carry on how it is mark, as all the kerfuffle just creates an illusion that there are more problems here than there genuinely are
