i share the same sentiments. So i guess no more interviews for MD when i have to fake title a thread like "tiesto this that or the other" so people can check the thread out.

THATS REALLY STRIKING RIGHT HERE MAN.

WHAT YOU JUST SAID MEANS ALOT TO ME.

THANKS FOR IT.

i get your point.. but don't you think you're placing too much importance on yourselves? (ourselves?) i mean, that's almost bordering arrogance there.. it is true that suggesting tracks and completing tracklists is contributing for the community, but is this "situation" so important that you must now stop as some sort of protest? i don't honestly think any of these new members that rely on the old base will give a fuck, they'll just get sad for 5 seconds that they didn't get the track they were looking for and proceed with whatever they were doing..

and as been said.. this is just side-effects of the new people coming in and time going by, the "it's just isn't as good as it was before" oldskooler's effect. maybe back then people had a different attitude than now, maybe they were more looking forward to extend their musical knowledge and share it with the others. but if this now oldskool group of people knows a lot more about music it's because it's been several years collecting info about it.

it is natural that when looking at the new members' ignorance we get annoyed cause we've seen it hundreds of times and these people don't appear to learn. but in fact these people do learn, and others take their place of being annoying newcomers. we've been in their place back then and if we were treated like some of them are nowadays, maybe there wouldn't be enough patience to try to contribute to the community with knowledge.

not to say i treat newcomers any good, i've just completely blasted some guy 2 days ago because he liked warp brothers or whatever. that is elitism, and not the way to go. speaking for myself, i've built a tendence to post all the time whenever i have the slightest remark to make.. and shit/not-worth-spending-time-on threads are the ones where those remarks are easier to come up with, so i end up feeding them.. contributing to the community is also a matter of having patience and not doing that. seriously, we should rather talk more about music instead of these long rants about the site or just move to another random board where people would have a bit more knowledge about music..

i'm making a lot of generalizations here, want to make it clear these newcomers i'm talking about aren't directly people with low post count or with a recent join date.. post count is hardly a good measure of knowledge

sempre contra a corrente do jogo

i think elitists play a major role in the development of the music we listen to. whether or not they are rude and blunt sometimes, it is inspiring producers to go out there and work hard on something fresh and new. the more critisism i get as a producer, the harder i try to do something better, the more satisfied i am with my music, and the more i learn and develop. everything needs critics or else nothing will ever move forward. to those who have critisised my work in the past, thankyou, you have opened doors for me and made me try harder and recognise the importance of being individual. im past the stage where i take such critism personally, and i can appriciate that peoples tastes differ, but the people whos opinions i value most are those who are not afraid to critisise and those who push me to work harder.
