I think Blipseeds suggestion about dividing the board deserves it's own topic. Have the webmasters any thoughts about this? Has it been suggested before? I don't have time to be on this board all the time, and can't read all the threads. But the MB have opened my eyes for a lot of new artists and new music. These days I find it hard tracking the useful music-info without spending too much time here. What do you guys think? Are there any negative consequences? |

i like it better the way it is now |

Dividing it? into the Jets and the Sharks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer it all together like now, I have the experience of loopz and watmm and thought they are great boards, I prefer this one |
||||||||

maybe the usefull topics should be put on top of the others, i mean the most recent interesting stuff, no need to go search old music suggestions,... we should always have at least 5 good threads on top. see my point? and let the crazy stuff under, would be very pleasant that way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but it's hard to decide which thread are important, it's all about opinions, phob may find the pre-order threads important whereas i don't, i may find e.g. a thread about björks new release important, but many others won't care about it who's gonna decide what's important? |
||||||||

A part with music-threads only would be excellent IMO. Nacmat: You have the experience with WATMM. Isn't it good that they have an own part called "expert knob twiddlers" where the people can discuss each others music/projects? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dividing it would be pointless. The way it is now is that everyone can see every thread easily. Split it up and you have to go into each section. Needless clicking. This is all my opinion. I actually opened this thinking you were talking in the sense of people ganging up. |
||||||||

Dunno bout splitting it - though there certainly is a fast turn-over rate and repetition going on. Maybe altering the favourites function a tad eg. say 5 favourites, but instead of having to search for them - they will always be at the top as glass_eater suggested. Probably be a programming nightmare. Just a thought though. |
||||||||

i wasnt even thinking of two pages, just the needfull on top with a line or nothing between the sections, and to see wich topic is really music related is not that hard imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... cont. That way the 5 (or so) favourite topics are personalised ?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok lets do that and gimme a free membership for life MHUAUAHAHAHAH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, the topics on top are decided by mods or phob, or the person in charge at the moment i dont know, that shouldnt be so hard to do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could always have colour coding. that way its all in the same place but with diff clrs for diff topic 'types' . best of both worlds? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but then you have the problem if a new "hot" topic arises, it will struggle with all the other ones. we'll see ... i'm all for a personalised "topics on top" though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
G_Kaplan .. just thought of that as soon as i pressed reply - that'd really be PURRfect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just think its easier all together... I hate having to be changing forum all the time... this way is like more cosmopolitan... more mixture, more dinamic, more alive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... more real :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes what glass eater said but personalised, like the favourites instead of being in another page being always on top... thats nice... but, possible? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahah eureka !!!!! you could do a different section when submitting the threads. if you think the thread is usefull submit it in the red section, then a program takes all the red threads and put them up randomly no? why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean what glass eater said with the idea of korben dallas |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's going to be a chatroom when XLT opens so a lot of the "chat" will hopefully be gone. |
||||||||
|

saddam ruined it all as always :/ :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure ! lets divide it into two parts useful bullshit notsouseful bullshit |

"you could always have colour coding. that way its all in the same place but with diff clrs for diff topic 'types' . best of both worlds?" ^ what he said. have a certain number of posts locked at the top, of which say the "red/bold" ones are personal, and the "black/bold" ones assigned by phob and the crew? such as news RE: the board, releases, polls or whatever. Be a nice added feature, dunno how difficult it would be to do - plus it'd keep it in the minimalist and user-friendly kind of vain, and not too cluttered. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The color coding's a decent idea. The only other way I'd want it split is to put all the "my new tracks" threads into a different section, cause they either tend to disapear quite quickly or I just completely forget about them as I'm posting in something else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have clrs for topics and a personal clr for faves? then u can sort by any clr as well. maybe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe 5 clrs just for personal faves use, the rest for topic types? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just thinking aloud here .. instead of having "threads" my new tracks - could have a list of recently released tracks by members, hyperlinked .. or something. + have a database of songs/links in the personal profile. on the other hand, threads are all good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
G_Kaplan ... dunno i think 5 colours could get a bit cluttered - and what about all those colour blind people?! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On the otherhand - I'm sure Phob et. al. have something sorted - up their sleeve perhaps? Spring eh ... long way away from where I am. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think there should be 256 clrs wouldnt be confusing for me anyway :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know the messageboard almost certainly won't be split anyway, Phob has said many times in the past he won't do it. Like korben said, xltronic proper will probably answer a lot of these questions. |

good old warpcomm used to have colour-coded topics - you know, grey/white for autechre, yellow for aphex etc. everybody used the colours for everything. it became a big mess. and for the 5 music-topics on top thing - mods hardly have the time to read each topic and then determine which ones are important enough. |

i like it the way it is |

haHAHAHAHAHA |

Once I would have said i liked it as it was, but lately the idea of seperrating seems like a betterr idea with all the spam, also the trraffic has been incrreasing and well its clutterred. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's a good idea music subforum and a general discussions forum :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if people just used common sense it wouldn't be nessisary..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you're asking for a bit too much there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but people won't. people arre morrons, its a fact. |

Too much form kills function and breeds cynicism. Therefore, the board won't change. |

understand that the number of users on this board is becoming higher and higher every day. |
