I dunno to be honest

yes theres a lot of Melbourne event threads, yes it clutters it up a bit and probably does actually stifle worthwhile discussions about other stuff.

Yeah fuck it, chuck all the club nights into one thread, biggies like FMF, Armin Only, Godskitchen where people are likely to travel just for it or are part of a larger tour should be allowed to carry on as is.

The major problem is that any discussions about said night will become all intertwined and hard to follow, that'd suck a bit. But then I don't care cos Adelaide only has 1 worthwhile event/night a month so its not a problem for me.

Plus if you sticky the event thread for each capital, theres gonna be 14x10^73 stickies at the top of the page.

Theres also the chance of not seeing events or whatever if you don't check the thread/don't see it in amongst the other posts.





So in conclusion, I don't fuckin know

As a Sydney poster it doesn't bother me that it's Melbourne specific mostly. Most of the talk about Sydney events happens on Trancetribe anyway.

im sure raistlin starts a thread about being worried that he listens to house music while he is drunk because melbourne events have stifled worthwhile discussion on other stuff. this site doesn't even have worthwhile discussion on anything! spend 5 minutes in the chill out room and read your worthwhile discussion.

i already mentioned that maybe there are a lot of melbourne threads because melbourne has a lot of events. dean also made this point. many of the posters from sydney dont post because they aren't even interested in trance music anymore or are soft cocks that "retire" from clubbing. you just said yourself adelaide has about 1 event a month that is worth it. so post about it! get some interest happening. who was that guy, solstice i think? who was running events and stuff in SA? whenever he has a thread about something i dont think that its cluttering the place. if there were 10 threads about adelaide events, i wouldnt care that its too many, id be worried why the fuck are all these things happening there and not here

paulie, gumble, adam jace, muli, jizza, a.j.
there's 6 people that don't post much here at all, i'd say i'm about 80% sure its because they arent interested in the music or the people than because there are too many melbourne event threads


most state or city specific threads seem to be tagged now so you know which ones to avoid if it bothers you. one last thing


DONT BE FUCKEN SCARED TO POST CAUSE YOU ARENT FROM MELBOURNE, ITS NOT LIKE WE ARE INTIMIDATING

Go for it, it'll give the promo whores somewhere to spam and keep the main board for giving each other crap, trance is dead threads and paying out everyone else.

ok, take all the event threads off and everyday threads may actually start. We've had 'proper' threads before. Look in ToTA, they have some worthwhile discussions (yeah some crap too) and no event threads. Look at UKTA, they only have event threads and zero discussion. If theres less event threads discussion about other stuff might pick up to fill the gap. Its a thought. By proper discussion threads i mean discussion about anything except events.

And yes Philby, if there was 1 Adelaide event a month its not cluttering the place up. But when theres 10 event threads a month it does.

which is pretty much exactly what one of my points was. Get rid of some of the event threads, these people might post more (and new people rather than coming in, oh fuck this its all Melbourne and leave), hence more discussion about other stuff.


I was rambling, just writing anything that popped into my head on either side, I wasn't trying to prove one point over another. I thought my last line made the pretty clear.

i'm just glad every 2nd thread in this place ain't a bday thread. those things annoy me when they get out of hand.

with regards to not seeing an event if it's in an event forum... that's just familiarity. Not hard to find it once you know where it is.

the TOTA structure is pretty neat, they've got the random event sticky that pulls a thread from the event forum too.

if we had an events forum then perhaps it could be opened up for infrequent promoters who just want to come in, post an event, and go out. that would certainly give us some awareness to events/promoters that we're not usually familiar with.

just a thought.

+1 or there will be 20 pkc "i'm bored" threads but either way it'll be funny.

but why does a lot of threads about events mean you can't post about other discussion? do you have something you want to discuss right now? make a thread about it!

Exactly. I don't understand the logic in it's relation to the intended outcome. Nothing is stopping anyone posting about anything.

The TA Australia section clearly needs to be broken down city by city, similar to how TA Canada is broken down. Not sure if much would be posted in other cities than Melb apart from glow stick dance tips, but it's only fair they have their sections.

And no, trance in Australia is not dead. In fact a local trance producer was just featured on ASOT.

yeah but with australias population that would be even worse than having a single thread for events, because then like trance nutter has mentioned, if adelaide has only 1 event a month and everynow and again an event when a bigger national tour is on, nobody would post there anyway. unless you lump in tasmania and perth with adelaide maybe hehe

Urrrr - you make a point. What about 2 TA Australia break down sections then: Melbourne, and um, what would you call it....The Rest.

No no, Melbourne and `SCHAPBD' (Syd/Canbz/Hobz/Adez/Per/Brissy/Darw)

Yeh yeh yeh.
