Should I merge the hard techno forum into the techno forum??

[MARKEG]

Seems to me like we're all on the same trip. What do you think?

[schlongfingers]

I think there should be just one techno board altogether, seems a bit divisive at the moment.

[schlongfingers]

I mean the first pages of all techno boards cover these dates

Techno - beginning of June
Hard Techno - beginning of May
Experimental - beginning of April
Acid Techno - beginning of June

I know I read them all, and would be happier with less clicking.

[drift9]

i'm all for it.

[SlavikSvensk]

i say do it, but keep both moderators...each is good in his own way...

[da hound]

one would be much better less clicking :lol: which is good for lazy ****ers like me

[lau]

Yeah put em together...

[g]

yes

[eyes without a face]

i reckon they should stay how they are, to me techno and what people class as "hard" techno these days are very different indeed

[BloodStar]

stay as it is,.

not only that, but that first techno sub-forum should be opened more for some discussions and debates, while "hard techno", "experimental", "acid" sub-forume are more for new releases...

although, lots of releases dont fit to any of the mentioned forums, so people put threads about them in "techno" forum.. uh tough one

[Jay Pace]

Merge them all together I say.
Works well for other forums.

That way you get other perspectives on techno. Too much compartmentalisation as it is.

Also - just an aside - would it really hurt for there to be a little more irreverance? Does the techno board have to be limited to discussions on techno? I would read the board a lot more if it wasn't all so techno focussed on everything, and it would help forge a stronger sense of community.

I don't see the point is creating a million subforums for every possible strain of potential conversation topic. You just end up stifling discussion and debate.

Jus' my two cents...

I have tried to encourage conversation about all things techno in the techno forum, but there was the rather heated acid techno incident to name a few.

[Obdurate]

At the end of the day its all techno, however hard it is and by pushing all the techno forums together just encourages people to share more mixed thoughts on the scene, which in the run down of things is far better for us all ..

[slavestudios]

GREAT :lol:


back to the 'schranz is sh*t' type threads :roll:



your forum mr EG. your call

[alsynthe]

if it aint broke why try and fix it?????????

[Jay Pace]

Can "your style is rubbish" threads not simply be ignored?

If it looks dull, don't read it. Works for me...

And then there is no need to create seperate forums to avoid this most terrible of conflicts, or even lock the threads. Unless people are being outright offensive locking topics seems a little draconian. And slighly wimpy.

if u merge the forums then your gonna get more of the "schranz is wank" kind of arguments because it throws together people who quite obviously have different definitions of the word techno... as it is now, people can go to the acid techno forum to talk acid techno, hard techno forum for hard techno etc etc

i dont see the problem with how it is, and the forums are open for any discussion within the subject range, it cant be helped if people just prefer to talk about new releases

I do understand the merging. Techno is waaay to splintered as it is. And to the average non techno person.
You play em schranze, and you play em oliver ho, and they are gonna say "what the hell are you arguing over, it all sounds the same to me, it goes, doof-doof-doof-doof"
So maybe it should be merged. There`s too much inbreeding with all these sub sub genres anyway.
I`m sure you will still get arguments over content etc, but as long as these are kept friendly and intelligent, and aren`t allowed to fall into childish stabs, then I can`t see the problem.

[eyes without a face]

well yeah of course there are always gonna be arguments, but i thought making a seperate forums was ideal and i personally wouldnt like to go back thats all, i dont think the merging of 2 forums on a chatboard is going to change techno one bit never mind drastically, the discussion on here carries on regardless so
