ya i think it will probably be very bad.. i hope they have backup this time.. and get rid of that star system where you had to pay to get status

but other than that its a shame to see xvi good down.. it was ottawas main support for their scene



i hope this new shit is good it should be!

initially, it may be bad

but the thing is, the scene in ottawa was much bigger before xvi came to be so popular. Its true that the rave scene has dwindled all over canada, but in other cities clubs are getting even bigger and better in terms of electronic dance music; house is pretty much mainstream now. However, in ottawa, that is not the case. The club scene has easily shrunk and i have been part of many discussions on xvi that debate whether xvi is a bane to the ottaw club scne...lots of veteran users think so.

i don't have exact stats, but at most parties and club event, xvi only accounts for abut 1/10 of the attendance. Promoters need to start doing things differently and let hype spread through word of mouth, street promo and their own websites and not rely on a website that is extremely disscouraging for new users. most of the 10,000 new university students that arrive in ottawa every fall probably think the scene here is full of asses, cause xvi is full of em....start a new account and ask about nightclubs and you'd get nothing but lame comments and inside joke insults.

Mind you, it was really wicked for some things like dj mixes...

too many negative post on XVI, this will help the scene.
