But you dont have to chat only about trance on here- that's what most of you are saying. 'Since I dont listen to trance, I dont post on here anymore'. Other forums have plenty of discussions on other genres of music no problem.

i never introduce myself on any forum..its totally unnecessary. you should be able to get to know people just by what they post...you can pretty quickly suss out if theyre your type of person. the rpoblem with it being a close knit community as you put it is that its the internet...people are miles away. its all well and good if you all live in the same area and can meet up etc, but not every can or in fact wants to. forums arent about creating an online community, they should just be a place to throw a few comments out there and have a bit of banter.
this forum had aquite a shitey clique feeling to it imo. i remember one thread someone asked what the joke was or something and they got a reply along the lines of "private joke" . thats what happens when you try and create an online community.
basically the forum just got shit because people stopped coming on here, and those that did had nothing interesting to say..include me in that as well, although i rarely come one here.
fuck knows why i have just written that essay. it appears i have nothing better to do..quite a sad story all round in think.
You all moan that UKTA is weak. So come up with Ideas on how we can improve the forum.
This place is only as good as the people that use it.

I totally agree with those who say the Trance scene in the UK is dead, I've long gone off trance listen to the occasional liveset download the occasional tune but I can't be bothered with it anymore I've been listening to a lot more house and electro music these days, because my tastes have matured, yes there is some decent trance out but it's not how it was years ago the fun has gone out it and variety has turned into cloned formulatic shite. I have personally moved on. Also the festivals here, would go to an event and watch Sasha & Diggers, Zabiela, Desyn and co but I'll be fucked if I have to go to some massive event full of a load of little fucking pikeys it lacks class. |
Get your arse back in the chat room and trade insults with me as in days gone by.

| Originally posted by tatgirl Yeah, but most of us in TO know each other and still post. Plus, there are many here that have moved into the love of house music, but that doesn't mean they leave TA- we can converse about all genres on here. Did many leave w/the advent of UKTA.tk? That was my impression a while back. |

HF is way too big for me. almost *too* active i'd say, threads disappear down the page in the main forum at an alarmingly fast rate, and the fact it's mostly all centered around london means most people know eachother personally... so it's pretty intimidating. people only seem to interact with those they already know.
from what i can see... UKTA is a community that has lived its life. people joined, got to know eachother & met outside the board... it became one big clique & no-one cared about expanding it. that & with the irc room in place, it kinda rules out the need for posting chat/banter threads in here
and on ian's point about new people interacting... the fact that alot of the clique have moved on from trance/clubbing & the likes means there isn't much common ground for new people to connect with. or at least this is how it looks from where i'm standing... as someone who joined after the clique was established & didn't really start posting until after things died down
i've lurked around in #ukta twice just to see what goes on (one time i got banned by montana, without even saying/doing anything 
) but know from past experience that merging into already established channels is pretty awkward unless you know someone in there personally
