Something like this can not happen. You can not keep bumping your own thread just to get it to the top. Posts should be deleted or thread locked or something. Maybe Manny has just becomes used to overlooking Meeko's threads haha. i know i do! |
exactly.
to a certain degree promoting is okay, but thats the perfect example of whats bothering me.
i just wanted to find out how other people felt about this... if everyone decides they dont care then whatever, i'll just let the issue die. |

Personally I dont mind.. Although I do agree that for any gigs other then headliners or contributing members should be posted in events thread (in proper format plz! or else im not adding it:haha:...
Time is not really an issue.. If its not an interesting enough event then it will work its way to the bottom.... Plus, there are lots of TA's which haunt the boards and don't post; They are just here to see what events are in their area... |

| Meh - like most people said, this forum is DEAD. But it is annoying to see nothing but events threads. Especially when no one on the forum even posts in those threads except for the person promoting the party. |

| I haven't read the whole thread because I shouldn't be procrastinating, but whats the big ing deal??? If you don't care about the event, don't click on the link. They are not spamming, they are making threads in an otherwise dead forum about real events that are happening and people go to. Just because you don't go, doesn't mean no one goes. This is the Florida forum, not the PatMcGroin forum so off |

Those spamming threads shouldn't be there in the first place, obviously the majority of us isn't going to watch meeko spin or go to his parties. ONly events that deserve hype should be posted or the ones that we go to. We already have a thread for those spamming retards and they don't listen. Another thing your a douchebag. |

Why should they not be here? Who decides if they 'deserve' hype and are allowed to be posted? What is the cutoff? The DJmag top 100? (lol) Who assigned you or mcgroin the official dictator of this forum. If it is an edm event, and it takes place in Florida, it should be allowed in here. The scene in Florida is already dead, why do you want suppress information about local EDM events? (Don't tell me they should be posted in the events thread... That is rarely updated and no one looks in there anyways)

^ This. Just because no one replies, doesn't mean people don't see the thread, and go. There are many lurkers. The more people we can get out to local events the better.
And I'm pissy because mcgroin already pulled this in a Gainesville thread. (If TA search didn't suck I could find it) He clicked a thread that was clearly labelled "Gainesville, Fl" and bitched about how it shouldn't be here (in the Florida forum..) and we were wasting his time... Because someone forced him to click on a link for a city he doesn't live in and type out a response...
PS: Meeko shouldn't be bumping his threads. That is simply bad forum etiquette. However, he has every right to make the thread in the first place. |

i'd rather get 10 flyers on my car when i go out :)
i miss the days of 1998-2003 or so where badass parties were everywhere and people actually collected the flyers. |

wow dude. your vagina needs a hug. i dont even remember whatever bull you're talking about. cant believe you do. so thanks for the lolz!
fact is theres a big difference between people who contribute to the forum and those who dont. the ones that dont only further downgrade the quality of this forum and thats the issue im addressing (in a polite way until you showed up, so please stop trying to derail the point of this thread). because the quality is being downgraded maybe thats why we dont have more people post here. just maybe. think about it. its a downward spiral.
some people are making good points, and thats why i made this thread to hear some of those. like the comment ben made about the "ty" threads working their way down to the bottom. its a very valid point, but to discuss this further, when theres always an influx of these threads, they will always be there. so yea, they do go down, but as soon as ones of the second page, it either gets bumped or a new thread is created, so thats not really solving the problem, or its still a problem.
and people DO use the events thread, all the time. it gets updated more than any other part of this forum (thanks to ben). so you're totally wrong there. just goes to show the lack of knowledge you possess about this forum and in a way that invalidates your entire opinion.
fact still remains, theres way more local forums where these kinds of events are promoted and honestly i think that should be kept there. i dont want to be just another promotion forum, cuz those forums all suck ass. if MORE people showed interest in these kinds of events then it wouldnt be an issue, but theses ZERO activity whatsoever. we have a thread for events and its not hard to use. people have been told and repeatedly they have simply refused to use this forum correctly. and i could care less about lurkers. i care about the people that contribute to this forum. forums are for discussions, not so that people can make money off of someone else paying for server space and bandwidth.
manny... just an fyi... im just trying to have a discussion here. not trying to turn this into anything. not saying anything has to be done. just voicing my opinion and seeing how others feel. see my previous posts as evidence. |

While I do understand your point... No one on TA is allowed to use this site as advertisement.
No matter what section it is. His postings are a bit out of line and need to be controlled. We have an events thread that the lurkers can look at. Plus, it's a sticky so it isn't hard to find.
Coming in here to ONLY post your parties is events thread material. |
