PETITION TO REUNIFY MUSIC CHITCHAT
| Message Board > Music Chitchat - General ( Indie, Jazz, World, Electronic etc.) > PETITION TO REUNIFY MUSIC CHITCHAT |
| KnifeGhost User Info... | I firmly believe most of the fun on this joint comes from metalheads and everyone else all giving each other shit, and to seperate the forums is to destory what makes LiveVic beautiful. I hold no grudge against the mods who made the change -- it was a worthy experiment, but it's failed. Post your support (or opposition) for reunifying Music Chit-Chat here. Let the people speak. - Wed, 23 Aug 2006 1:18pm | ||
| Mi*coll* User Info... | YES even tho they are sweaty and their amps are way to loud. - Wed, 23 Aug 2006 7:04pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | "too......"? - Wed, 23 Aug 2006 7:50pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | "loud......."? - Wed, 23 Aug 2006 7:51pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Look, Mike, if your ears aren't bleeding it just doesn't sound as good. - Thu, 24 Aug 2006 1:16am | ||
| crow User Info... | YES!!! - Thu, 24 Aug 2006 12:09pm | ||
| Brumy User Info... | all the good posts, (funny ones) where people bad mouth eachother and get really mad, their deleting them all and warning people. Let people have their fun. Just make a place where people can make fun of each other...that would be good. - Thu, 24 Aug 2006 6:58pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | There's already a place where eople can make fun of each other. It's called LiveVictoria. Talking shit is what makes this place beautiful. - Fri, 25 Aug 2006 11:30am | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | Fuck you. - Fri, 25 Aug 2006 4:46pm | ||
| moron User Info... | "electronic" should be in the heavy section or add "noise" to the list of genres. But re-unification makes more sense. Cheers - Fri, 25 Aug 2006 6:15pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | No, no , no, fusk u, you futher mucker! Look to the cookie! - Sat, 26 Aug 2006 2:18am Edited: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 2:19am | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | Obviously "heavy" electronic music such as noise, industrial, etc would fall into the heavy catagory and something like nu-jazz or ambiant would fall into the "light" catagory... we didn't list every possible genre that could be included for space reasons. ..... Hey I ment to post on this sooner! Yeah we appricate your call on this? We were noticing some threads getting burried quickly and though that opening it up like this would give more space for postings. We debated for a long while about how we should seperate it, IF we should seperate it, etc etc. We definatly apprciate hearing what people like and dislike about the site, and if people have ideas about features they'd like to see, or small changes we could make to make the site better by all means post em, or email us with them. That said, we don't always have time to get to everything right away being that its kind of a hobby site but we appricate the imput! For the people that don't like the new 2 forums, is it the way we split it that bothers you or just the fact that its split at all - Mon, 28 Aug 2006 1:53pm Edited: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 1:56pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Well, in principle the split doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that the place fell dead as soon as it was split. LiveVic was built on inter-scene slagging, and I think to some extent it's what makes this site great. It acts as a place for people from totally different bands and scenes and genre to get together in the same place and insult each other. Otherwise, theere'd be no contact at all. LiveVic makes the scene tighter, as far as I'm concerned. But that's lost if we split the forum. Of course, there hasn't been an overwhelming response to my call for reunification. A positive one, sure, but not overwhelming. It's your forum, your call. - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 2:20am | ||
| Mi*coll* User Info... | yeah, for sure. maybe, if the problem is that threads are getting buried too quickly, then you could solve that by having the pages scroll down further with more threads on the first page? - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 6:46am | ||
| Sati User Info... | Knifeghost, internet traffic is traditionally down in summer months, and thats the case on our sites as well. So there may have been less posts here lately, but I sincerely doubt that its due to the split. It may be fair to give it a bit of time to see how it plays out as traffic rises in the fall months. The split wasn't my idea, but I think its a good experiment! It seems like we're all with you in your concerns about the loss of unity, but we're just hoping this will encourage new people to feel comfortable enough to post. I doubt that the people already here will stop sticking their noses into the new sections, so it should work out. And we did increase the number of threads viewable on a page a short while ago. Did you want it increased even more? I'm concerned about page-loading problems for those with slow connections. (And thanks for starting this thread! You guys know the board best) - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:49am Edited: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:51am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | I'm not down with the split - Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:49pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | Heh I know what you mean about the inter-scene slagging, now you can stage guerilla attacks on the metal head boards! Sneak in undetected, hiding behind that huge dude in corpse paint with the hair, shout "THE BLACK ALBUM WAS TECHNICALLY A MUSICALLY BETTER ALBUM THEN MASTER OF PUPPETS ... and Frank Black could kick Kerry King's ass!!!" and then run out ... it'll be great =) - Wed, 30 Aug 2006 10:00am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | It'd never work. They all know me there. Maybe we could send in Tyler...... - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 1:20am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Frank Black could kick KK's ass - Thu, 31 Aug 2006 8:38am | ||
| The Box Drone User Info... | "LiveVic was built on inter-scene slagging, and I think to some extent it's what makes this site great" You speak madness! I mean, ok, maybe to SOME extent. I mean, I defiantely get a kick out of watching & even occasionally participating in a good ol' slag fest, but the fact of the matter is that for every musican I know who uses this site, I know of 5 who won't come near it because they can't stand the juvenille piss-wars. - Tue, 5 Sep 2006 12:18pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Well, bring 'em over, cause without the juvenile piss-wars it's been dead. - Tue, 5 Sep 2006 1:10pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | "I know of 5 who won't come near it because they can't stand the juvenille piss-wars." So they pretty much completely avoid the internet then, eh? - Fri, 8 Sep 2006 10:56am | ||
| Brandon User Info... | lets change the "controversy and quarantine" section into "piss Wars" - Fri, 8 Sep 2006 12:01pm | ||
| camhendry User Info... | Yah...I say bring back the trashin! Nothing better than slagging yer fello man or woman - even betta when they fight back - Sat, 9 Sep 2006 12:51am | ||
| ak User Info... | if the problem is the "death" of livevictoria due to not enough slagging maybe the answer is.. more people in the community. i think this site used to be more fun and more diverse when it wasn't always the exact same people talking about the same bands or just reviewing a few select shows. my vote goes for advertising livevictoria.com again and making the site stronger as an online community. scott, i love your baby. i love it. - Mon, 11 Sep 2006 10:55pm Edited: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 10:56pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | One or the other. Cause it's turning into the online equivalent of hanging out at the jam space with your buddies at 3 am when everybody's too tired or stoned or drunk to talk. - Tue, 12 Sep 2006 3:15pm | ||
| LivevicScott User Info... | Well now that the summer is over, and i'm starting to climb out from under my "working too many festivals" bomb shelter. I'll see if we can't stir something up a bit. ALSO ... you guys can help! We're a community site so if you can help the community know about it please do. Attach our logo, or somehow put http://www.livevictoria.com on your show posters etc. Also if you know or work at any businesses that would be into haveing a livevictoria.com promo poster up on their premis .. fire me an email! Also if you have any ideas for how we can promo the site, we're totally all ears! Just keep in mind, we're poor as the little bit of ad money that comes in doesn't do much more then cover the montly costs of the site at this point. We really do appricate your imput though truthfully! - Thu, 14 Sep 2006 9:57am | ||
| Sati User Info... | That goes ditto for LiveMusicVancouver! We've got a bunch of posters that are going into stores & bars now, so let me know if you know of a business/space who'd have room for a couple. They're 5 1/2x17 (short & long) We've got new logos designed too. - Thu, 14 Sep 2006 10:46am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Scott, an ad campaign with Metropol might do some good. Maybe some copy assuring people that we're all civilized people just here for the live of the music. ;) - Thu, 14 Sep 2006 12:33pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | haha anytime i've atempted to get copy no reporter pays any attention to the hour we talk, all they mention is "hey you can watch a shit storm go down on this board, oh apparently they list shows or something too??" agreed about a bit of a poster campaign, should try and put something together. - Thu, 14 Sep 2006 2:24pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | The shit-storms have died down. Make it a full on campaign remaking your image. "This is not the LiveVic you abandoned for all the slagging. New look, new management, blah blah." And if you're _really_ concerned that the flamewars are keeping people away, a more hands-on moderation policy can change that. I'm in favour of free-for-all moderation, but if you think it's hurting business, it's your right (and indeed your responsibility) to take control of it. - Fri, 15 Sep 2006 12:27pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | Again, remember that this is the internet folks. I'm not aware of a single forum that doesn't involve a certain amount of flaming, etc. The media loves the salaciousness of it all. If you listen to them, the internet is nothing but a bunch of DVD copying pedophiles who are out to steal your credit card. While I find it fun to debate and bitch myself, I've also hooked up with people and certainly bought and sold gear here. If people have trouble getting past the occasional 'shitstorm' I would indeed suggest a nice cabin far away from civilization. - Tue, 19 Sep 2006 1:30pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Y'know what they say... If you can't stand the heat, get a little place in Montana and build mail bombs. - Tue, 19 Sep 2006 8:02pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | General, what the hell? I don't think Music Chitchat is going to be re-unified, but I've noticed now there's a lack of interesting posts to read and respond to... I don't like the split. I like both heavy and "general" categories of music and I'd prefer to talk about the two of them all in one place. - Wed, 20 Sep 2006 6:50pm | ||
| WILLEM User Info... | just fuck with em then, post about metal shit in the music chat, and post about poetry and opera garbage in the metal section, they will eventually give... Maybe they nead to have a section for people who are sensitive, and have all the rest of you banned, FUCK! - Fri, 13 Oct 2006 2:24pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | I rest my case. - Wed, 15 Nov 2006 1:06pm | ||
| JDL User Info... | haha nice, point taken and proved :P - Wed, 15 Nov 2006 2:38pm Edited: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 2:43pm | ||
