I agree , its time for a serious update and somone with more time on their hands to do so.

see what you mean, but i think its fine the way it is, like yourself, i only ever use the forums. Might check other parts out like once every month to see if there are any new livesets, but apart from that i dont bother. I would imagine that the people who founded it (swamper) all those years ago, probably have a lot more to do woth their life nowadays, so don't get time

Originally posted by Mortyman The reason I'm posting in this forum is because this is where most TA's visit and contribute their opinions, so here I go. Tranceaddict is in a serious need for an upgrade!!! I'm noticing that on the home page, that I don't even have to scroll down half way, and there lies the list of the 2003 top DJ's. 2004 is now coming close to an end, and there's only about a half dozen new things on this site from over a year ago! Obviously tranceaddict thrives solely on the forums. To keep people updated on what's happening, and to chat with others about anything on their minds... but for someone like me who has been visiting TA on a regular basis for the past 4 years, I'm really getting bored. I admit, everytime I enter this site, it's right to the Forums page, because that's all this site is really about right? But seeing that there are sooooo many new TA's, the forums are getting redundant and boring What's gonna make me want to keep coming back here? I'm not seeing anything new on this site for me to explore. As if it's been said that Tranceaddict is fine the way it is, and nothing needs to be changed. Well, I think TA should be taken a little more seriously by it's founders and keep people coming back to it. What's the point in having these other pages, when there's nothing new It'd be nice to see more tracks added more often, more interviews, more general info without having to search the entire site before stubbling across it. I will always be a tranceaddict! I love it here, but it's time someone took some time to put more into it. It feels like a long-lost high school project with potential... that was just left along the way. * this thread was inspired by a friend who signed up and said her first impression was that it was outdated! I had to agree

My advice:

Why don't you try to contribute to the content of this site instead of complaining?

If you want interviews do one and post it on this site and/or submit questions to ask to artists.

If you want to talk about new tracks look in the review forum and add your opinions there and check out what other people recommend.

If you want to hear music check out the dj and production forums. You can discuss and review sets there.

If you just want to fuck around check out COR.

If you want to talk politics check out PDD

If you want to talk about music start a thread here.


I would recommend that you move around the entire TA forum and add content to each sub-forum which appeals to you. You contributing in anyway are what make the site great.

To make a constructive tangent from this, it would be really, really, really nice if search actually worked for words of length four or less (and more than half the time it seems to hate five characters, too).

A real pain in the arse when searching for terms like "goa", "van dyk", etc.

Yes, but at the same time searching for "goa" or "van dyk" will give you enough results to slow the server down, so it's nice to have a limit on what you can and cannot search for.

As if you will find another site that has as many options or is as easy on people as tranceaddict and does Swamper ask you for anything?, does he bitch about costs like other sites, NO

so if you don't like it, then go elsewhere

Swamper is only one person and I hear ver.2 is in the works but I don't know about the complainers but I'll be the first to thank Swamper for making the forums, so quick, so easy and adding so many different things that he custom modded himself.

What, there's a site here?

i'd like to see a new main page in 2004 style, and maybe a new design of the forums (considering the color scheme would still remain dark and easy on eyes), but it's fine as it is anyway, and it gives this nostalgia feel

Seconded. All I need are the forums. Oh, and I like the layout as it is.
