Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

The only place I felt intimated was in the Politics, very interesting opinions being presented and loved everything that was posted up. But 'community value'. Shit no. You'd fear to be slashed by superiority.

But the whole argument of the 'good ole days' and knowing each other; isn't that was a community is?

Apart from say Politics, this is a great forum EDM related or not, this things I find in here are first class, and the commitment and general enthusiasm from people shocks me at times.
Like everyone I guess newbies start in Promos and slowly move into the GYY, of course it's going to take time to settle in and be known within this 'community'.

And that is my two cents.

Two cents well spent !!!

Thank you for this. I was worried about scaring new members away, but this is a refreshing take on the situation. I'll just personally get over the number of birthday threads if I can know that it's not keeping other members away

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

I think everyone is overanalysing this. I thought everything was fine in GYY and I don't even 'talk' much in here.

What I liked about GYY:

Music talk. Whenever a good EM or Kiss set, or album, there would be a thread discussing it. Sometimes a thread will go on while an EM is 'live' and that was great, I miss that. And what I miss now is there're less discussion around Kiss sets because they're in the sub-forum and a thread is usually filled with track ID requests or thanks.

Random news. We used to post news that was either stupid or ridiculous or plain newsworthy. Whether it's some wedding or Darwin awards or some science thing.

Bday threads are completely inconsequential. When they're there, I'll jump in and post a bday wish. I don't look forward to them nor avoid them, they're just there. What's so difficult about that?

Jokes, etc. Come on it's General Yakkity Yak.

Maybe it's been slow or whatever, but 1) this is a natural cycle of things, 2) it's up to us to make the change.

And making the change does not mean pointing out what's wrong or starting suggestions which trigger another endless round of debate. We're not some parliament passing gun laws.

I've started threads that pick up, and some that die a natural death. Just start threads that YOU want to read or think are noteworthy and let everything else follow.

Plus, if I'm a newbie and I come across threads like this, I'll be like, whatever, I'm gonna go download the music and ignore this shit until I see something that interests ME.

Illuminate I'm sorry if you felt overwhelmed about Politics section. That place did get carried away sometimes.. But there were a lot of guys there with very strong opinions.. You must understand in our ignorance we have argued for years about political issues.. So I do apologize if you felt intimidated. Believe me as King of the Politics section I would have welcomed you because I have been on a mission the last couple months urging new members to talk because I recognized that it was just the same people talking all the time over and over..

What I love about MS is getting INSTANT opinions from across the globe... So if it ever opens again believe me.. Join in!!

Holy Fuck Feather you should be the MS Mayor! Your quote of :

Absolute genius! Birthday threads didn't make or break the board.. I was just sick of seeing them all the time so I proposed a Megathread.. This board (GYY) used to be about music and nonsense.. It got to serious and personal lately..
