Please place your votes in regards to Swampers suggestion for changing the event sub-forums:

Originally posted by Swamper I'll post a bigger reply later (since I'm on my phone) but please check the Cali forum to see events mixed in with normal threads + an event forum. Also on the top right side you can toggle whether you see event threads in the main forum. If I recall, I asked if you guys wanted it like that and most of you said no. If you want more event related discussion then that is one way to do it.

Originally posted by Swamper ^^ I'm surprised not one person has commented on what I said up there? That's the only logical change I can see to make to NYTA in the short term to help foster event-related discussion. It works great in the West Coast forum and that area has a lot of activity. In terms of DJ mixes, it makes no sense to create a whole other sub-forum just for that purpose. A sticky with a link to your mix and/or relevant thread in the DJ promo section (like TOTA) will do. Articles/Interviews for the most part should continue to be posted in Music Discussion. There are reasons for this, some which are logistical and some which are necessary to deter against promoter/promotion-related spam/thread bumping.

Here is an example of what it would look like:
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...p?s=&forumid=60

Events would be in the main forum as well as the event sub-forum however you would have the option of hiding them within the main forum.

Notice the "Hide event threads within this forum" link on the top right hand side.

I'd change it. No one goes in there anyway right now, so I don't see any harm in changing it.

Florida has it that way too. But it gets annoying especially during WMC so at the moment its on "hide all events"

I don't see what the big deal is. I like the events forums.

If i wanna know whats going on this weekend that TA's will go to - I check it.

and because Tom is so awesome - I can DOUBLE CHECK his listing for parties.

No wonder Brian gave up modding nyta

I'm voting for westcoast style.. cuz it gives the whiners an option.

edit - I also just want to say that WMC had a bunch of whiners for the same exact reasons. Everyone who bitched just ended up pre bitching beacuse now it is a great thing. It's just something ppl needed to get used to and it also needed some push. Once ppl made threads for each party - it seemed to really take off.. Now the WMC section has ZERO parties in the WMC forum which has never - ever - ever been like this. If you all can rememebr.. the Events were all mixed in with the FAQ or general WMC related threads. A la clusterfuk.

Everyone was crying cuz we wanted it in 1 thread as always - and we still do have the master WMC list by Benji - just like Tom does.. but the Events thread really took off. So just give it time. Ppl have made some really fancy roll calls in the events forums and all the discussion has stayed within that 1 single event thread. I love WMC section this year.

At some point are we going to be able to vote on the matter of local press / articles and DJ mixes as well or are those a no go?

^ last few lines in Swampers second quote address that issue.

In regards to the mixes... I am making a thread for local DJ's only. All local mixes will go there, others will remain in the regular download thread.

FLTA's are OCD and we hated having sooo many stickies... we have a local dj mix thread and a chill out thread where we just post random shit... so instead our Mod made a welcome to FLTA thread with useful links.

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...5&forumid=43&s=

for example^

Like Mel, I check event listings and I check enigmat's list. I do not see much of a difference in the link provided. People need to stop being butt hurt over everything and suck it up. Start a new routine and hit the event listings when you are on. I like that you will have a thread for local DJs, that is probably the best that comes out of this issue.

I agree with the above. The DJ mixes and artist stuff is more important to me. Not only because I am a DJ but it's always great listening to local talent.

Without the artists, we wouldn't have such a solid local scene, and without good artist promotion to OUR scene, it's hard for people to get noticed sometimes.

Glad to see that we are getting a thread now. Thanks Z !!!
