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

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.

Ditto....

There are a ton of us who still visit [ms] and enjoy a good read...

I for one completely ignore any kind of debate as I have enough drama of my own... don't need online drama... boards are exactly what they were 10 years ago.. "online interaction" if anyone took it too seriously .. then they are crazy. I will keep coming back to [ms] for 10 good members vs 100000 bad ones... I choose to ignore the ignorant....que sera sera.

Kamal has already answered the key question, "it hasn't".

I'm happy with ms as it is. I'm relieved to hear that he's not thinking to terminate the site anymore.

I could not agree more - well said fella. Some of the threads are nonsense

I still discover a huge amount of quality tunage

Nonsense = gold imo. Being all serious about a music message board is just lame. And Garry you're 100% on point.

Soundcloud page, Gatz's comeback? It was a relaunch for the people who spent time and money on it.

Obviously, no one feels the same, so this thread has no point and can be annihilated.

i just want to say that this site has been a real Godsend for me.

even though i don't come here often the fact that you are all still here gives me hope and comfort.

even if it is just us then who cares. we would be poorer for losing it.

also its a great resource.

so thanks to all of you who make it possible.

Besides, there's no reason to stop.
There's obviously no moderation, nobody's getting banned, it all goes automatic.

Looks like my database access is working again... I just deleted a forum. I'll let you all figure out which one it was. (the threads were moved to GYY)

What should merge where and what should stay? Once we get some ideas that seem popular (including with Kamal) I can make some more changes.

Maybe I'm missing it but I'm very confused by this ongoing discussion about the state of MS.

Is the number of visitors a success metric and why is that? Is MS a business dependant on traffic?

The number of visitors have not affected my MS experience with the exception of missing some regulars' posts.

The nature of the internet means our presence is asymmetric, we will never all be on at the same time. It's not like we're a club and seeing the dancefloor empty at peak time.

Do we need more new threads? Sometimes new threads are started and there is little participation and I get the impression we're not interested in those topics, so those threads don't get started again. Sometimes new threads are started and people accuse the OP of spamming ... so what is one to do?
