Will there be links to the message board in the discog. Such as "find a thread on this release" or "discuss this release"? That sort of thing could be good. Although that could just be laziness on my behalf. It would encourage people to discuss music more. |

yes, something like that. |

You mean there is more to this site, than just a messageboard ? What a concept. August 7th, 2003 ? |

the poll is interesting and i wish the crew luck with the board.. i'd have to agree it's been having problems lately, seems fine today tho. it's a very good thing there are so many smart, responsible, and sensible moderators who can tell a troublemaker from someone defending him- or herself from unfair flaming or someone debating or trying to excite people with new ideas and fresh opinions. it's so important to distinguish that difference. |

and i definitely agree that bans should always be explained EXCEPT where obvious (eg: a user makes 60 accounts, a user makes 60 threads in an hour, etc.), because otherwise just arbitrarily removing people can have a very devestating effect on board morale (think mcarthy hearings). |

remind me again what the McCarthy hearings were ? |

Overrall this MB is verry tame, with many morre nice people than fools. I don't think the measurres have to be drrastic, just nip things in the bud beforre they kick off by eitherr banning the trroublemakerr (with a rreason forr doing so, to prrevent morre trrouble) then closing the topic. The Mods should just do it, it's not that big a deal closing a topic. |

of a word based on the U.S. anti-communist hearings in the mid-20th century.. suspected communists (who 99% of the time weren't) were blacklisted and either wouldn't work again, were shunned, or right-out disappeared |

exactly what I said! :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i know, and it was good advice.. i'm just elaborating based on, sadly, what was my experience |
||||||||

i know it's been said before, but just to throw in my opinion. the amount of 'on-topic' discussion is going to fluxuate constantly on ANY message board. when a new album of interest is released people are going to talk more about things realated to that, and so on. like it or not, when you create a messageboard/community you do actually in fact create a community. people form friendships, and enemies. after a while conversations develop. you'll never be able to fully stamp that out. and seeing as how the powers that be seem to be staunchly opposed to creating a 'chat room' i think we'll all have to deal with a fluxuating level of off-topic banter. it's a balancing act. do you want an involved community of people who like each, other discussing various topics circled arount idm music? or, do you just want to create an online idm reference point? i personally think it's a big mistake to close down the messageboard portion of the site. it serves to keep people interested. and that is the point of a website right? to keep people interested in what's going on on the site? if you close down the messageboard, sure you'll get rid of some of the troublemakers, but, you'll also lose many of the valued members; as they wander off and find new places to go to form bonds with people who are interested in the same things they are. |

"another idea. lead by example - close more threads and make sure you explain why at the end of each thread you close." i agree with this. the best leaders lead from the front, not the back. maybe you should also look into starting more topics for people to chat on. i don't really see what could be that childish on an afx site...rdj himself is a 12 yr old trapped in a, er....12 yr old body! in more important matters, phobs, you like !POLYGON WINDOW! more than caustic crap? :P heh, seriously, i could have swore i've read a post saying that you dug polygon, quoting that it was "his first real abulm," or something along those lines... maybe you yourself have matured, and are looking at a motley crew of afx fans that haven't changed at all, through new lenses? |
||||||||

also, i'll quote what i just said in the .nu chatroom on slsk... "if phobia wants to cry about it...he should give the rights to someone else" i say: SHUT IT DOWN! how long have you played this tired, old boreing game? how many points do people have? tooo many. you need a new life, we need a new life. and if it's that detrimental to the fragile minds of these warpers...let someone else own the site, then they can tell ppl to skrew themselves, without having to be all PR. or simply shut the shit down theirselves. OR you can create another moniker, give it admin rights, and let that be your "cunt" persona, and tell ppl to wank off/ban them, via this persona (wait, that was done in some cheassy american kids book...) anyways, i'm nihilistic, and feel that the only way to create something beautiful, is to tear it down. this ant hill needs to be kicked man...BAD! -aldric w. |

my only complaint about the site recently, is how many people are constantly complaining about the site recently. go with the flow. when rdj or autechre or []p comes out with a new album the smartest people interested in the genre will be here discussing it intelligently. until then they'll talk about their peters and how hot it is in kerblaqistan. if the cost of the server storage/bandwidth is becoming an issue then i say go on a fundraising pledge drive. closing up shop is a lame way out. ban the trolls/troublemakers, and leave the board for the community. i'll shut up now. |

i think phobia is doing a good job. i'm trying to cut down on my spamming of my music, by keeping it in one thread only as much as possible. the only other time i'll mention it is when someone posts some music, and i'll want them to listen to mine in return. anyways, i apologize phobia if my spamming has caused problems lately. it will come to an end. btw, i know everyone probably says this, but i think you're doing a great job, and have been ever since AFX Community. :-D Do what you have to do. |

excellent point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the key word is MUSIC 90 percent of the topics should be about music or musicans otherwise one is posting too much.... phob is right : once the site is up there should be more music discussion. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I don't agrree. This is morre than just a music MB, it is a community of people who have morre in common than just the music they like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed, Cfern, we all know each other so well here now that it's impossible to just discuss music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with what you're saying. and also, this is the way the MBs works... |
