[State of the Nation]Is the [ms] "relaunch" a flop?

[sbando]

For once, I'm 100% serious. What do you people think? I think that despite some people's efforts not much has changed. Even the Sasha & Digweed sub-forums have two or three users browsing them, including mods.

Aye or nay?


(Our SC page is doing fine, we will reach 1'000 followers soon, but it has brought 0 people to the site. Even Bedrock has more active users, fcol!)

Depends what you think the purpose of MS is.

Kamal was about to terminate the site for good. Then it gave it another chance, Gatz and a few others came back but MS never really took off again. I think we're exactly at the same point we was back then.

I don't want ms closed! I'm just asking you 9-10 people (:sarcastic what your opinions is.

It isn't going to "take off", at least I don't ever see that happening again until some fundamentally site altering things are done. Ways to survive are generally being a small niche site catering to small group of sell-out to mass consumers and by the look of things, we will remain the former.

most of the regulars aren't starting threads.

I know you weren't waiting for a big change, but maybe more users than the current 12 (<irony). Do they even make a niche at all?

Anyway, I just wanted to know what the site's status is at present. From what you say I gather ms will live on and, of course, I'm happy with it.

A completely misunderstood post. I thought my question was very simple: How is ms changed after Kamal's announcement.

[Kamal]

Re: [State of the Nation]Is the [ms] &quot;relaunch&quot; a flop?

it hasn't.

Why does it need to be anything other than it is? You can come here and get loads of music, have a read, have a chat, have a laugh, have a fight......

Does it matter if there's 20 people doing this or 2000? Am I missing something?

As long as the board is being used and enjoyed, what's the problem?

The part you're "missing" is that Kemal had decided to shut ms down for good, Gar.

Re: [State of the Nation]Is the [ms] &quot;relaunch&quot; a flop?

Was he not just querying if there was any point to the board still being here due to the fact there wasnt much activity at that time?

The response to Kamal's thread clearly showed there was a point to it.

I know its not really been an issue as far as i know up till now but if it was a financial thing about keeping the board going then im sure the regulars would try to chip in to keep it going?

My point just being that there doesnt need to be loads of users and loads of new threads for people to still enjoy what we have here.
