+1!!!!

I agree with most of what was said.

I had no clue there was a Brad interview until i read this thread.

Honestly the main forum usually has nothing that interests me so I stick in here, DJ Booth, or Music Production forum. The NYTA scene is more close knit and everyone knows each other which is nice.

As for DJs/Producers:
The one thread per artist rule is my vote. I used to do this when i first started the podcast and it worked well for me and gained me some listeners while keeping it organized.

The problem with posting in the main DJ Promotion forum, is the # of mixes that go up each day, and the large variety of users. On the NY board...someone will say "Oh look Wayde posted a mix, sweet ive heard of him lets check that out"

On the main promotion forum in my opinion, people will just say "oh, whos that, ill pass on this one"

For this reason, I have stopped even posting on that thread I had because It just isn't really worth the time. Once again, my main vote is for a 1 thread per artist deal, but I wouldnt mind just one dedicated thread as well(might get excessive though)

The events forum im liking a bit but im getting used to it. I keep forgetting to check it but I dont feel its such a bad thing.

I think the main things to improve upon are local support. DJ Mixes and any other LOCAL artist promotion is awesome. If someone out of NY/DC/Tri Stateish area posts their stuff for promotion then it should be moved.

That said, Z has done a fantastic job of cleaning a lot of stuff on the forum up. By far the nicest and best mod around!

I would just like to see more local artist integration again. Hopefully Swamper will take our ideas in to consideration.

Cheers!!

in response to some of the issues here;

1. the roll call in TOTA is only allowed one week prior, or the Swamp-Monsta kills it I think thats fair and avoids 3-week convo's, arguments, and random distraction from the event.

2. Also in TOTA, there is a regular download thread for house, trance and techno; and there is also a thread for locals ONLY. Makes it very easy to find what you are craving

^^I use Toronto as an example as they clearly have a HUGE amount of members and some of these tactics seem to work for them. They also have a lot more experience in the event sub-forum, so just give it some time! people will get used to it, and, eventually enjoy the clutter-free threads there

lol +1 no one is saying anything about the mod, they are simply making suggestions for the future.








Zack: no worries dude, I wasn't mad, just stating my opinion

HAHA burak holds me to strict confidentiality, but I can attest that BIG things sure do come in small packages.

And about TE, I could never go b/c of my tax season, sucks. My little bro was supposed to go, but not sure he is anymore since hes going to WMC now to see Sean.

I wish I could do either lol. :tear:

If you want the thread to be taken seriously... it's best to stay on topic. I am sure Del doesn't want to have to filter through a bunch of unrelated posts to find out your concerns regarding TA.

Euphoria could you please PM swamper the link to this thread?

Also for future reference...can I post interviews in the music discussion forum and also make a post in here linking to that thread?

He has already been linked, notice he posted earlier? He said he will come back with a bigger reply later because he was on his phone.

As far as I know...no interviews, which means no threads linking to interviews threads in other sections. There's really no difference.

Unless of course Swamper says otherwise so let's see what he has to say when he has a moment to address this.

Seriously I've been meaning to post something like this..

NYTA has gotten STALE! (is that how you spell it?)

Nothing stays around long enough for a discussion to start.

And nothing makes it past a few pages lately.

And where'd all the random off-topic stuff go

Please, if it's relevant to the NY area, leave it be.

Local DJ mixes... let 'em have a thread, it's not like there are so many threads we're going to miss something. The first page of threads on NYTA has been the same shit for weeks.

I'll weigh in, but I don't think I have any creative solutions. For me, I see NYTA as not just a subforum of TA, but it's own distinct thing. So, I know we have to follow the overarching rules of TA, but we can tailor it to our area's needs.

I agree that music discussion has become more muted since the opening of the event subforum. In fact, I forget about it so often and I don't trust that it provides the most up to date info. I confess that I've been double checking event stuff using Resident Advisor. Maybe that will change when I get used to the event subforum.

The only simple tweak I can think of is to change the title of the title of the link from "Click Here for Event Listings" to "Click Here for Event Listings and Discussion" The link seems more like the party thread than a place for people to browse and chat.

As for the DJ promo stuff, I think a one thread sticky would increase visibility to all of the mixes. The mixes could be titled akin to how they do it in DJ Promo, so ppl could know what they were getting. If someone was willing to be responsible for maintaining the thread, a listing of mixes could be updated on the 1st post.

Thanks, Zack for bringing up the subject. I think its worthwhile to swap feedback on the structure of the forum.

And lastly, wanted to thank Z for her work in moderating the rabble.

It sounds like a great idea and I wouldn't mind maintaining it but I've been told we already have too many stickies as it is so one of them would have to come down in its place. Likely the least active/useful one.

Originally posted by euphoria I don't make the rules. I am only following the guidelines that were set for me.

You've done a great job so far. I certainly wasn't complaining about the job you've done.

The new rules have been a positive thing for sure. I just think we can now tweek some of them to make the board and community function even better.

About the interviews...the ones you did were with bigger, international djs. So, I can see why they might get moved to the music section. Those are probably more suited towards the music section where those posters all know the interviewees.

In the case of it being a NYC local, I think there is a pretty big distcinction.

About local dj's mixes, I personally like the idea of each DJ maybe having their own thread to keep updated and what not. That way it doesn't get cluttered, and people can easily access a certain dj's older mixes, all in one place. Each DJ could even personalize their own mix thread with their own pics, links, gig info, etc... I think that would be really cool.

About events I guess thats a tougher situation. Unfortunately, really good, TA-relevant events are just getting lost in the shuffle of the new system. Like people said, if we could work events into the main forum on a participation basis (i.e. people who post regularly and contribute regularly to the site) that would be cool. That would give people who want to post parties major incentive to actually contribute, which means more traffic.

Just my 2 pence...

awesome, now i know who to pay off to get things done around here

this. and it promotes a little friendly competition not to mention i don't want zacks sets anywhere near mine... he's got the itis.

I just look at the Europe Forums.

As far as Music Mixes/Production, I always look at that section, thats what is there for, no need to post it 2x. Lots of great productions/mixes there if you dont look at it.

Originally posted by DesMc8 That'd be awesome!

i think its inevitable. i think the census is that a D.C. section wouldnt hold its weight as its own section on here.and thats probably true.but a d.c.,maryland,virginia,pennsylvania,delaware thread section WOULD.i routinely meet people from all these areas that come out to dc to see electronic artists.a section for these people would eliminate some of the clutter as well as give these people a chance to have a section they can follow.

if a section is ever created i would volunteer to be a moderator for it.while i might be as well known as some people on this site, coming this march ill have been on this site for 9 years.my relationship with this site has outlasted any personal relationship ive ever been in!and i have no plans to leave anytime soon.

and while being here that long doesent necessarily qualify me to be a moderator i feel ive been here long enough to know how the site works that i could oversee a dc,md,pa,va,de section and run it efficiently.

i started coming to this site back when napster was around(the free service)looking for music.and wound up finding a lot of great friends and great memories in the process.ive gone out of my way to promote tranceaddict and the electric scene whenever i can because i love this site and the music. and ill be on this site long after a lot of people here leave the edm scene for whatever new comes along.

sorry to jump off topic at any rate im all for improving the new york section as this is where i usually post.as an outsider im always treated fair here.

The TOTA sub forum has a DJ mix stickied thread. The mixes are posted on DJ Promotion forum and crosslinked to the sticky thread. But it seems the last post was in 2006 and was discontinued. It looked like a vibrant thread.

As for deciding which sticky to go down, I don't think any do. There are only maybe 5 of them. I think the paid event advertising above the stickies is creating the clutter. But I understand that those must stay.

lol.

I persoanlly just think it would be a cool, and pretty functional way to keep DJ's sets organized. And Like I said, if each DJ only gets one thread, then it'll give them some incentive to keep it updated, and maybe make it look cool, and personalize it as well.

To those who might say "oh noo, we'll have all these dj's pages cluttering everything up!" That wouldn't be an issue. Its not like djs are posting a new mix every day...and if they did, thats cool. Realistically, a mix would get posted, and in a week, the thread would fall to the later pages, until that DJ decided to post a new mix in the thread and bump it up.

Lets do it!

Personally I like the idea of a NYTA mix sub-forum rather than a stickie up top. If such an area was created I actually prefer individual posts for mixes as well (or atleast the choice of doing so), only because I like to promote each mix as unique rather than just another on the pile. I really don't think there would be any more clutter since they would fall away eventually anyways - same as a single thread per DJ would.

For events that's definitely trickier.. I agree with Zack that it would be cool to see more of them in the main forum, but on the other hand I see Z's point that that's entirely subjective and could lead to problems..

One thing that has surprised me is that nobody has brought up the giant ASOT thread which seems to bend all our rules Is it a roll call? Nope too early.. Event listing? Nope not really.. Discussion? umm maybe..? Perhaps this is the way to go then? An event listing in the sub-forum and a single "Discussion" thread allowed in the main that serves for talking, roll calls, and reviews? Just trying to throw out more ideas is all...

EDIT: Oh and I'm definitely all for bringing interviews and articles back, as well as general discussion directed to this community. Posting in the NY board is very different than posting in the main forums - they're really two different audiences entirely. I think now more than ever we're all starting to really recognize and respect that!

What I have been doing is closing the discussion threads within the main forums after the official event is posted and re-routing members to the link to continue their discussion in that thread as I've done with the Marco V and Valentino Kanzayani threads and I will do the same with the ASOT thread once the event is posted.

It's obviously a big topics for discussion at the moment hence the many pages so me closing it abruptly without specificing an alternate place to post their comments will result in people opening further threads.

This also encourages people to visit threads in the event subforum.

The reason a thread cannot be opened now is because the selected date from the drop down calendar is still unavailable as of yet for the event sub-forum.

I would absolutely love that but again it's all up to Swamper.

what i havent come to understand is...i made a thread about an event/party. and Z deleted it and kindly asked me to post it in the events thread to keep it organized-- cool!!

but howcome these promoters (dance.here.too and area) get to create a thread (actually theres like 3 or 4)..not to mentioned theyre even stickied?? what ever happened to posting all events/parties in the event thread?
