I see what your saying but its hard to draw the line sometimes whereas some posts are clear spam such as those recently from crasherevents and the emporium .. others such as that of the fatmoon psy party arent .. is this simply due to the fact that its more then likely we already know about the former whereas the latter is news to us?

Should we expect those who post info about nights or such ads to be active members of ta? Would that give them the right then to post their nights? Perhaps its due to the lack of non-club night related threads (eg just general talk) over the years that has made these threads all the more apparent? I dont see how it can be policed though unless the mods are allowed to get heavy by enforcing bans on strict posting guidelines or as you say specific forums are created ..

There are a few changes planed in TA V2.0 that should sort most problems

Beware of killer hamsters and the random running dogs.

I Agree with you mike, I've spent ages abusing ppl like tigerclaw who do nothing but spam radio shows but most people seem to find it acceptable... prob cos they've not been here b4 it turned into that kind of a forum, but it needs serious help, from the mods and from more of us users to show them it's not acceptable.

As for here, I still think the majority of us are a tight-knit bunch of mates, and I love that aspect. there are a few people who make stupid threads here, mainly those of a person whos dj name includes a country in the carribean about new drugs or 'have u e ver stood on your head while on drugs' kind, but on the whole this forum isn't as bad. we need the random chats back tho

bring back the randomness!!!!!!

TA 2.0 has been in the works for years, will we ever see a launch?

more chance of seeing the UK Launch that annoying michael howard mp guy into the air on a rocket

here are a few questions answered (i think)

a) we are trying to get an events subforum for the uk forum. this will get rid of the clutter without preventing people from knowing whats goign on where. also it will stop random foreigners comign in and posting "what on in london on >date<", we reckon.

b) a radio stream subforum for MD. this is despiratly needed i know, which is why we are hoping it will happen sooner rather than later.

c) as for TA v2.0, swamper is busy trying to recuit designers (check the special subforum) to help with the facelift to the site, however i dont think a dramatic amount of change will happen to the forums as such, it's more the main page + a load of other features he's gonna implement.

fatmoon threads dont get deleted because they are FREE partys.

werd.

TA V2, swamper only told me about this last month or something. hes taking an extra week off after xmas from work to work on the site. the radio broadcasts forum will happen soon, he knows the current situation is dire. and ste and jeff are pushing for our own events forum thing. ive spoke to swamp about it, but it involves re-doing code thats hardcoded for the tota thing.

theres gona be more changes to ta in the nxt 3 months than there has been in the last 12 i recon.

good stuff as long as things are being done about it
