A very good point.

Ive been posting in this filez forum on and off for a few years, and I can remember when i could post a really crap ( and i mean really crap ) tune and with in a few hours get half a dozen really helpful and detailed responses.

I don't feel soundcloud replaces this in anyway, if anything it's just a place to collect more "Phat tune" comments, maybe I'm not looking hard enough but i see very little else on there.

Why is this so?

because we the posters in this thread are not giving the effort. everyone that posts in the files forum is more than able to make comments that would help, even if it is only something small that might start a chain of though. It is no good just saying "my production ain't good enough, I'm not going to comment", because that is what i done for years, just took and never gave back.

something that I have seen on another non techno forum (sorry cant remember what one) was a system where you could only post a new track if you had made comment on X number of tracks in the last X days. sort of making people give back. For this to work I agree with JP , we need an active Mod.

I would also be nice if a few more tracks made it to this page. the reason i say this is I used to learn from reading comments on other peoples tracks as well as my own. maybe this will happen if there are better replies.

anyway I have no work tomorrow, so I intend to stop slacking and start writing useful reply to the tracks already posted.

The only ones that can make this forum work are "US", so lets do it.
