me and you are in the same boat :( |

Didn't bother to read the entire read, but I do agree in parts with Highroller, RJ and StereoPrincess.
As an old member i've noticed the promotion has become a lot more aggressive, and yes it does come down to roll call threads which get bumped more often then they should, and glossy reviews which are biased and filled with hyperbole.
After you've read a couple of weeks in a row that a party is the greatest, bestest, most dirtiest shindig to ever take place in T.Dot then you start to doubt the integrity of the poster.
Rule 1 of clubbing forms.
Promoters don't start Roll Calls, or Party Reviews... |

This is the #1 thing that I have had problems with, for about a year or so now. I do not see it as an integrity issue at all. I see it as people having very short term memories, and just living in the momment.
I say, go out have fun, and live every day like it is your last, but when giving your review, its time for reflection and consolidation. Take some time, give it some proper thought and just don't post the first/strongest emotion which pops into your head.
I think it goes back to the over the top behaviour thread that Nat started a while back; everything has to be grand and the best, it cannot just be. |

First: People who complain about this have way too much time on their hands. Ive always said that if you dont like it, dont click on it. Obviously political threads for example arent for everyone and ive noticed that there are those who participate and those who dont.
Same thing for event reviews. Some reviews i read and some i dont. I have the ability to select based on my interest. Why cant others? If im interested in whats out there then i will read more into detail. I think most TOTAs have already figured out who is affiliated with what so its not hard to take a grain of salt with some comments.
People wonder why "trance" doesnt get talked about? Well id argue that dance music in general doesnt get talked about. Because 90% of our scene involves events, music downloads, discussions about albums etc etc and with the ever increasing restrictions placed around here its getting harder and harder to talk about these things.
For example my radio show. I dont make ANY money from this thing. I am not a DJ who is promoting myself. In fact the only reason I do this show is because of my love of music and my longtime (since childhood) dream of having a radio show. Yet everytime i try to talk about it it's labelled as spam?
Bottom line. IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ ABOUT IT, DONT CLICK ON IT. Otherwise STFU! |

For my money, very few posters on TA write unbiased reviews anymore (or even make the attempt). Off the top of my head, I can only think of HighRoller who has consistently been honest with his reviews...
I've opened review threads and virtually skimmed 2-3 pages because they were filled with the generic - OMG HE ROCKED...OMG SO DIRTY I DIE comments till I found an account which actually mentioned both the good and the bad aspects of a club nite. |

High praise to Graham. Awesome. And I'd agree 100% with that statement about his reviews too. Even if its a DJ I -KNOW- he loves and is prolly his favourite, if Graham attended that event and thought his favourite DJ in the world SUCKED BALLS or was only average or that the event over all was ty, he'd say as much... and he HAS said as much on more than one occaison. To many ppl only write positive reviews when their "FAVOURITE IN THE WHOLE WORLD" DJ is spinning (and ive been guilty of this too in the past w/ Armin... i know)
I love Graham's assessments of things and he always maintains his perspective, which is something I value and respect in all his comments. |

Third, I understand that people that have been around for longer deserve some preferential treatment if they cannot live without having any but i do honestly believe that everyone should be treated equally. Whether or not you agree with me is not my problem, i am just stating an opinion on why this board has gone downhill. And am i jealous? LOL no. And i don't think all complaints of cliqueyness are based on jealousy either. Why would i be jealous of people ganging up on other people? Who the hell would want to be part of that type of "special" group? Not me, that i know for sure. |
great words, hun :) |

Ok. Due to your medical illness, you don't party as much anymore. And since you don't party as much anymore, it would make sense that you would have less interest in posting on a message board that is of the subject matter of partying.
And yes, the reason i don't post much anymore is because of the cliqueyness. Whether you find that hard to believe or not makes no difference to me, that is my reason and if you don't believe it then
:nervous:
| quote: | | Second, and on the subject of "cliqueyness", i fail to see where i pointed the finger in any particular way, shape, or form. There are various amounts of cliques on this board, not all of them new, and not all of them old. Do not put words in my mouth. I find all forms of cliques, old and new to be pretty ing lame. This is not high school ffs. |
Regardless of your PC attempt to be general, you and I, and the rest of the message board know exactly who you're talking about when you refer to cliques.
