I am I the only one who has noticed that quality of the postings here in the last few weeks hasn't been very good. Some of them are absolute crap!
Come on people.....think of something!
(and for those who think that this topic is lowering the quality - someone had to say it!)

What constitutes a good topic? How about some links to good ones? Or if you're not link inclined then perhaps some examples.

Jedi Chris how about people resurrect their favourite thread of all time ? which has the most amusing dialogue etc...
or the best thread they themselves posted ?
that would at least give us a break from the "Peanut butter or marmite ?" style threads for a while .

i've been here since dec/jan and i AGREE.
whats that saying 'LESS is MORE' =0)
it's not how many replies to a topic that makes it 'interesting' or 'not-interesting' it's more a question of is it something that needs to be shared.
ie...'i am bored' topics are something that really DO NOT need to be shared. if you're bored i suggest going out and doing something instead of lamenting the fact that you're bored.
people just need to take a few EXTRA seconds to think about what they are posting.....IMO =0)

Many people have said that the topics recently are bad/pointless. But why should *you* be the one to decide which topics are bad? I'm sure at least some of the people creating not-so-afx-related topics thought that others might enjoy reading them. Yes some are bad but unless this mb becomes a dictatorship where one "bad" post gets you banned, it will probably never stop. so just ignore them. ;)

I'm glancing down the list of topics that are there now....and can pick a hand full of shit ones! And also, I'm not saying I should be the *one* to say which ones are crap, I'm just saying that *they* are *crap* !
I'm not naming topics....but you guys know who you are!

You have free will and You are answering only on the topics you re interrested in so whats the problem? ignoring something stupid is the best weapon me thinks.

I take it from your response that this matter doesn't bother you Steamtank?
I do look at the topic heading and ignore the ones I don't want to respond to, but then you get the 'What if......' ones where you open them up and see they're absolute shit!

this is phobiazero's 'living room' so to speak and i agree it will be HIM that ultimately decides whats 'good' or 'bad' but i think people should exercise GOOD JUDGEMENT about what they post. i mean do we really need to know about every BOWEL movement. sometimes thats how it seems when i read topics....it's like someone ran out of ideas and decided to just POST something. if you run through some topic's you can see how true it is.
i don't think everything should be aphex related...music related....etc.....again just ask yourself (I DO BEFORE I POST) is this something that really needs to be shared with others......phobia wants to keep this MB a quality forum, and we should help him with that!

It seems that the kind of topics you talk about differ from Jedi Chris's. I mean, if a topic is solely about a bowel movement you took (or something equally pointless) then yes, I agree that posts of that nature should not occur. But if its a post that makes you say "hmm.. what if" as Chris said, and then you decide that *you* don't like it, who's fault is that?
I'm not saying that there are no pointless/stupid/whatever posts on this mb, I'm saying that maybe not ALL of those threads are stupid to EVERYBODY.

i agree ...... opinions about topics are very subjective!
thing that i've found to be true tho.....and this may just be me. but when i come on the MB and i read just pointless stuff.....most of which i do ignore (like steamtank suggested) it makes me not want to post anything that may NOT be pointless cos i think it will get lost in all the RUBBLE.
i hope this is just a passing trend that i've noticed. =0) but it's a valid point to bring up and jedi chris has a valid point IMO.

" it makes me not want to post anything that may NOT be pointless cos i think it will get lost in all the RUBBLE."
Yeah, I understand that. Overall I agree that everyone should do his/her best to weed out pointless topics anyway, just to keep the board as nice as possible :)

Maybe only OPHECKS should be able to start topics, and everyone else should be banned from doing so. That would aid the board immensely. All in favor, say ''AYE''.

yeah...let's make an effort, people...
I don't wanna get hardcore and start closing crap threads (like I AM BORED etc...) but if I see many more I will...most of em seem more suitable for a Chatroom than a Message board so maybe that's the way to go in the future...
Once Phob gets back from hols I'll speak with him and see if we all as a community can come up with a set of guidelines...that way at least we'll all have an idea of what and what isn't appropriate here...
How does that sound?...

if we couldnt post crap, then most of us wouldnt be here....we would run out of things afxy to say....the board cheers me up when i need it and a bunch of people talking about spectrograms and computer figures and tour dates doesnt do anything for me (sorry im not against any person here, those are the things that leapt into my head)....i can understand why u might not like crap, but crap is accessible to everyone, and they are essential....
