Attn SSU, Core< Massivemike, frequency Frank, Eco-Question

Idea-Can we start a sticky thread like "Locals Only", or "NYTA DJ"s",something for active members of this board who have gigs, like the party planner thread, so all the gigs can be in one place in addition to the threads for a "one stop shop" if you get what I mean, and it should be sticky'd. This would help regular readers,a nd those who check it out only a couple of times a week a central organized palce to look
What do you guys think


Posted by Frequency Frank on Nov-12-2007 22:01:

Interesting thought, my only problem with a sticky is they can get out of control quickly. If you look at the responses a core/massive/ssu/strobelife thread gets, and combine them, it might be a bit tough to properly coordinate it, but I bet we could work something out.

Sheila has already approached Swamper about this Mike and the answer is yes although it costs money....As soon as we've confirmed dates,, dj's and venues all our events will be stickied...From January we're gonna have a semi permanent banner up at the top of the page....

The sticky is part of the banner deal and it's very little extra cost...If it's ok with TA and it's possible to do I'd have no objection at all to letting Core,,Massive,,Strobelife,,Jet-Lag etc to post events in the sticky.....

My knowledge of this is very limited but here's what i'm thinking...We all pay for a big flash banner,,Core,,SSU etc....All our logos go on the banner but we have our own stickies.....

As Frank said,,each of our events threads become like forums within a forum...I think it will tidy the page up nice and everything is kept in its place,,keeping the promotion,,roll calls and reviews in a neat package.....


The prices we got from Swamper are very reasonable BTW....

Steve, not sure about that idea, that would require even more bouncing from one forum to another, which southbound says he wants to avoid... Southbound's idea sounds like a good one to me though, as far as listing local's dates... A sticky with updated lists (no flyers, no hype) of where our locals are going to be... Is that what you mean, southbound? Basically, a copy of EnigmaT's but focused on locals...

Contact Swamper Mike...

this is a good idea.. someone could just post a thread and put the gigs in in and then just update it regularly, between all of us we could bump it to the top enough so it's easy to find

i'm not hating, but what's the point of paying for a sticky thread for your gigs when everyone on this board already knows about it? just asking...

The sticky is part of the deal James...It comes with the banner...

then what's the point of the banner? who would see the banner that otherwise wouldn't already come to the gig? again, not trying to give you a hard time, just asking. i think you need to expand the advertising to people who don't already know.

Good idea but when is there a party in NY when locals are not playing anyways? Most promoters will post their events in the tread anyways......kinda defeats the idea behind it. I think seperate SSU, Core, Massive stickys is a good idea but it def could get out of control and useless quickly. IMO the banner is far more effective and if it's cheap it's well worth it......this forums gets tons of traffic from non posters......so many times I've been out and somebody comes up to me and is like "yo your vtec from nyta" and I'm like who are you lol. It's time to start reaching out to those people who are not within the circle and a banner is the perfect way.

if what vtec says is true, then that answers my last question.


Posted by vtec junkie on Nov-13-2007 06:05:

Steve make sure you tell Swamper to make the banner an active link to the original event thead so peeps can go directly to the thread and not have to sift through tons of threads........unless you have a sticky too.

case in point -

look at how many hits a PVD or Armin thread gets......it's impossible they all come from the usual posters in here.

All you need is a real fuking MOD and it can be done.

Not one that jsut fancy's his name being atop NY & the CORe.

Mr. Ian

Or if Enigmat doesn't mind having 2 sections in the party planner. Might be a bit confusing.

If you want to support your TA locals come on down to Pacha this weekend and check out AlterImage and Mike and Frank from CORE NYC.

the whole idea, as Eco said, is to have one thread, on top, with out flyers and discussion, just to say upcoming events-PEROID no oone have to go to rythmism for a decent calendar
look at this for reference from tota
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...p?s=&forumid=77
all the other thread will still exist, butthis sticky would be the place to check out on frida ar 900pm, when looking for something todo, maybe get nyce is good one to ask, since he was last active mod, but the idea that the bigesst city on TA does not have a claendar thread, other than enigmas hard work is ridiculous, were are bigger tha clubplanet, resident advisor, and rythmism, therefore we need one organized thing like i provided ofr you, especially since steve, mike, frank, m,ike st jules, jollins,eco tek, etc are getting more gigs, and add on to the fact taht we have so many "non-trance" people aboard, and those like me that like it all

I hope you typed that in record speed lol

And all for nothing but I like Tom's event thread much better than the link you posted.....at least you don't have to click on each thread to get the event details.
