Originally posted by Guest The list is confined to the RA realm so I'm not surprised by any of the results. Step back and look at what RA represents: The Hipster.

Yea i knew that but can't they somehow listen to something outside the narrow minded techno realm? Im listening to Grime, US/UK Garage and UK Bass at the moment.

RA features all of those genres. Of course the poll isn't that diverse, but guess what - it's a popularity poll, it's going to be a bandwagon no matter what website you're holding one on.

It'd be interesting to see what an RA DJ poll would have looked like back in 2005. Their change in readership/coverage has to be one of the most radical of any music publication.

Dunno, I mean back in 2005 like 10 people read the site. If you go back and read old reviews or articles, there's never any comments. Maybe one or two on rare occasions. The site really only got more popular around 2008/2009.

Or J00F. He should at least be on the list

You wouldn't be talking about a DJ you've never seen live, would you Mark?

You wouldnt be trolling again without ever posting pics/showing face on TA would you?

I don't know. Is pointing out your massive, glaring hypocrisy classed as "trolling"?

Herp derp I'm System-J and I'm "bullying" you. Real bullies dont announce bullying you corn dog.

And real dance music fans don't get a headache when they hear a 303.

LOL for fuck's sake.

i dont think you could say hawtin plays "minimal plong" these days - seen him a few times last couple of years and it was pretty much full-on techno every time

Do you by default dislike any DJ who is popular?

This is pretty much like every set I've seen on the internet.

fuck off

Why is everyone so clueless in TA now? We used to get really deep, now it's Mr. Santos over there and Mark Anthony jumping in with whatever bullshit they think is reality whenever they get the chance. I have to thank Woony for trying but what's the point anymore?

These days I mostly like to sit back and just watch the shitshow as it unfolds.

It's gone to shit in the last year or so. Just reading Mattsanity's bumped thread made me realise that we were having great discussions only 12-15 months ago. Now the only active members are either the same tragic trance prats endlessly asking how they can bring back the glory days, and a clutch of inane dullards who can't make posts more than sentence long.

We should all find another, more active forum and migrate en masse.

I think one option to explore would be having Swamper create a separate message board, perhaps an invite-only one. I used to post a lot on this video game site called Gamespot, and one cool feature of their message boards was users' ability to create their own private forums.

We could go raid RA...

LOL. Skipped right to the 30-minute mark, and it's literally plink-plonk-blopping.

Some folks here already post there. I've been tempted to as well, but I know I'd mostly just troll.

I think the userbase hasn't really changed that much in the last 1-2 years.

The biggest problem right now is that most of the regulars aren't making threads (too lazy or they think nobody will care?) and thus the only new threads that come up are madeby people like Mark and Matt and thus discussion is pretty much doomed from the start.

In the end TA still is the best discussion forum/site for electronic music that I know of. Everywhere else either people are fucking clueless about anything outside their hyper-niche or the site isn't really made for discussion. RA falls in the latter category, there's rarely actual discussion and if there is, it's a useless shitstorm with industry/artists associates involved. The only site that comes even close that I can think of is WATTM, although they are more IDM/electronica orientated.
