we got a lot of people around here these days that don't seem to appreciate what we contribute to the boards so i don't know about the rest of you, but i'm going to stop contributing.
these are the same people that rely on us to ID their unknown tracks, fill in their dj tracklists, give them new tune suggestions that are "spacey" or "vocal" or "chill"...
seriously why are we wasting our time? we all spend a lot of time researching music and finding tunes that we love...we should just stop sharing that with all of these people that are always bitching...
let's face it, those that actually have a genuine interest in talking about music around here are sadly in the minority. i don't remember the last time i actually got a decent answer or good suggestion on this board...i can't remember the last time i found out about a tune on TA that i hadn't already known about...and when i do it's always the same ten people coming through with great sugestions. meanwhile we are excited to share music tastes and ideas with each other just so people with little radio shows can lurk and snatch up some good tracks that we suggest for their show next week.
it's just a bunch of crap. i mean we've already lost the TA battle to a bunch of people that are either promoting their average new tune or their cookie cutter radio show...and those that are just getting into the genre and think they know everything...
it sucks the most for those people that actually appreciate the suggestions of the TA "elitists" and want to expand their personal taste, but unfortunately the majority is ruining it for those people...
but really...lets keep our knowledge and opinions to ourselves. then where will TA be? it'll be a bunch of kids arguing about which tune on ASOT was the best that week, struggling to find new fresh music, wanting to know what that tune that dj played on that radio show was, and wishing they could get some suggestions for some "classics"...
we've tried our best to keep this site full of info, but we've lost...it's not our problem anymore.

Do what you like man. I don't know if I'm an elitist or a bystander, but I'll do what I want on TA, and ignore anyone who thinks that's a crime.

well i'm sure you are considered an elitist on here SYSTEM-J, but you're always giving people suggestions and trying to help when you can...
when's the last time you got anything good out of TA musically? maybe from Sand Leaper or someone...but really?
i'm not planning on leaving TA at all...i'm just saying why should we go out of our way to help people when they have nothing to offer us but complaints and bitching...

I have heard that place before, but can recall... is it Africa? And that city in your Location is it the Capital city of your country?

Oh, it's Africa all right. The Africa of...your mind.
Yes, Mawnbai is the Capital. Here, the rivers run red with the blood of infidels and small children caught in crossfire. I spend most of my days either swimming accross them or making them even redder. Here's a picture of me getting jiggy with it:

On the other hand, if it were just a bunch of 'old-schoolers', TA'd end up like Discogs: a bunch of folks who discuss the absolute, utmost obscure tracks in existence, such to the point only the five people who've actually managed to snag an original pressing of such a release would know what everyone's talking about! Well, maybe not quite that bad...
I've found TA to be the crossroads between T.nu (uber fanboy/girl noob enthusiasm) and Discogs (ultra trainspotter core). Of course, this generates some fierce debates but isn't that the whole point of going on the interweb anyways?

well i'm not a member on either of those sites so i don't know what their like...
all i know is that i've noticed the TA "elitists" are usually the first people in threads suggesting new tunes to people, wanting to help people when a genuine interest in music actually arises...and it's the whiny posters that are the ones asking for help. so why should we help them? i have hundreds and hundreds of tunes that i'd love to talk on TA about and introduce to people, everything from all the new funky house stuff to older ambient stuff...but i don't waste my time because 1. threads like that are usually between 2-3 people and get buried by ten posts of bullshit and 2. very few people actually contribute to TA and instead just lurk for tunes suggestions...
so why even bother?
