every other thread was like "Tiesto OH MY GAWD RAWX MY SHORTZ!!!"
Thats why I left for TA. The atmosphere is much more laidback, much more educated people and alot of contributors for the IDs and tracklists. Just the fact that famous djs, other boards (incl t.nu) copies the tracklists from here says alot about how important the work done over here is.
+1
same here...

HOWEVER, when new material is generally crap (perhaps a function of the music being released in general) then that is what is being discussed, people lose interest, and discuss other things.

i just thought i'd say this.
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.
I took this quite harsh. But you do what you have to do. But let me tell you something u contribute alot but its not easy it takes alot of time. Personally I take up 90% of my free time searching for various tunes and it doesnt come easy. Thats what these boards were made for. For us to help one another with edm music. So we must stick together...

actually not much but since Africa was one of the frontlines of the cold war and the way USA got involved in different African nations domestic politics and the arrogance they showed against the most poor people is one of the results why there is still so much poverty in Africa today.
I don't want to go into a deeper political debate but as I said American's are not the ones that should make fun of others. Africans the least .

typical post about americans being evil, arrogant, selfish, greedy and being the reason why africa has been the shithole it has been for thousands of years instead of corrupt, brutal dictators who have committed genocide on millions of their own countrymen
but whats easier for blaming their problems than on the Us
might as well blame ALL of the world's problems on America

I always thought that the shit state of modern Africa is down to the actions of European colonists such as the British and Germans in the 19th Century.

no you can't blame all evil on america. but i have met arrogant americans in my life. thats for sure.
not to say that you brought millions of slaves to america and treated them like animals. and the fact that your apartheid was abandoned just like 40 something years ago says alot of your democracy.
