Okay. Some time in the middle or end of summer, myself, and quite a few others requested for the removal of the ***OFFICIAL*** thread tag. I thought we did this so that it would be allowed to have more than one thread about a single band or topic. As it turns out, the only thing the removal if this tag did was just that- We just don't see the excess of stars and caps. It is still basically not allowed to have more than one thread about a band.
This is just one example of why I think R&M has begun to sort of decline in quality in the past few months or so. When I say quality, I don't really mean quality, as there are tons of elaborate write ups and such, but lets take a step back and compare R&M to something I know we all share a passion for- Music; I think R&M has become a sort of "Dream Theater" of forums. It's basically everyone showing off their wonderful writing skills, it's too structured, and really no room at all for ****ing around. (Just an example, don't flame me or anything for using DT as an example) Maybe it's just me, but I can only endure this type of virtuistic going-ons for so long. What I'm saying is that as a community, we need to loosen up, not care as much about sticking exactly to the rules, and just kind of have some fun here.
The only specific thing I can think of as to how to try and improve what we've got is to allow multiple band threads. I'm not talking about having a pair of discussion threads for a band, but I'm talking about threads that are about different topics pertaining to the same band. I don't want to do away with the band threads that exist now, but I think it would be good to allow bands to have threads that are about a specific album, or something. :shrug:
I'm also not saying "do away with the articles." I love reading these just as much as the next guy, but reading articles about the same band get a bit old...If you have an original idea for an article, then write it, but I've seen a lot of articles about bands that pretty much everyone knows about.
Think about it. Give me feedback. Neg me, whatever. If you have any more ideas, feel free to share them, but this is just an idea. I know it's been done before, but rather than create a thread just to say this, I thought I'd put it in here, as it is the "suggestion" thread. :p
Thanks for reading.

I agree with about everything you said.
I feel like I come in this forum and see nothing new. That's why I rarely post. I can't just jump into a huge thread and really get into it.
I miss seeing threads about my favorite bands every once in a while.
If we did allow multiple threads about bands, I don't really see how we could keep the "official" threads open. They would still be bumped regularly, and like now, the non-official threads would be pushed off the first page(s).
Do we really need threads dedicated to bands that there aren't that many threads of in the first place? I don't think we do.
The R&M forum seems like it's divided into about 400 mini-forums (official threads).

Closing the big band threads would be a bad idea, there is nothing wrong with general discussion of a band. But i do agree we dont have to close every thread about a band that has a thread already.
For example, it was a good idea to leave Ramsey's thread open about In Flames' new album, even though there is already an in flames discussion thread.
I say we get rid of the "Music reccomendation thread" though.

This is very true. Chris just counted up the threads on page one that have over 100 posts, and he counted 18. There is nothing wrong with having a thread that lasts to only 30 or so posts and then dies, is there? Sure, some threads go a bit too narrow in topic, but some bands should be allowed to have more than one thread.

3074326

I know the phases you're talking about, Med. I've seen my fair-share of them. This one is getting out of hand, though. Like you said, the same threads are always on the first two pages. There is literally no room for new threads after three minutes of their creation.
We have an "official" thread for Trivium.. that's not necessary. They're not that popular of a band. There are a few other threads for bands that aren't going to generate any more than a handful of threads a week. A handful of threads a week is fine, as long as they have a point.
I've seen a few intelligent threads that were made specifically about an "official thread" band, and the threads were closed. That saddened me. I personally find it difficult to have a solid discussion on one topic in a huge thread like the official ones. I distinctly remember there being a very large Tool thread, a looong time ago that went for pages, but the content was very good. There is no doubt in my mind that it would not have even been a discussion if the thread were closed and the threadstarter directed to the Tool thread.
I'd like to avoid things like that. I understand that we can't close the "official" threads - they're communities in themselves. Something needs to be done about the lack of room on the first two or three pages, though.

Jom wanted that closed at 11:59 PM Central time, and it's currently 12:08 AM. Do with it what you will.
Chris - Exactly. A thread about the lyrics or meanings behind the music of a certain band should be something that is totally okay.
This is very true. Chris just counted up the threads on page one that have over 100 posts, and he counted 18. There is nothing wrong with having a thread that lasts to only 30 or so posts and then dies, is there? Sure, some threads go a bit too narrow in topic, but some bands should be allowed to have more than one thread.
I think if you're an intelligent enough user to guage what precisely about a band deserves its own thread then the mods are pretty okay with leaving those threads open. For instance, Ramsey has made a few threads that deal with "outside" topics on bands (he had a big Ghost Reveries Opeth thread if I remember) which stayed open, and my Nightwish thread stayed open for a little bit. I have a feeling that the issues you're talking about are more a problem of silly users who like to throw their weight around when they see the slightest rule infraction and call out "against the rules, dumbarse!" probably because they want rep or something. Those users should be banned without exception, which is something that is in the rules but which the mods don't seem to do very often. Crack down on them, and I feel like you'd notice less of the bother of "against the rules" blah blah blah.
I agree that certain threads should be left open. I also agree that the number of large band threads is kind of an eyesore and also a strange murderer of subject matter. The alternative, though, is the unruly creation of thread after thread after thread on the same groups, providing no sense of people's general thoughts or feelings over time, nor of a sense of community: this is one thing that is good about the band threads despite the circular conversation topics. The key is balancing it out to make a happy middle ground between thread anarchy and the kind of stilted dryness you're noticing. It ebbs and flows, as Med said. There's really not much to do except treat the symptoms: everything else kind of goes the way it goes.

I definitely agree with leaving some of the threads open. I don't think anyone will disagree with us leaving the Metallica thread open. We all remember the hell that the forum was when St. Anger was released. :p
But the Trivium thread, for example.. I have nothing against that band (I've honestly never heard them), but they're not a huge band that will have seven threads on the front page at once.

I don't :upset:
But yeah, there are lots of "official threads" for bands which kinda seem to be the flavor of the month more than anything else.
If you want, you could trying closing the big band threads every few months, and then starting new ones. I did that with the PF thread, and it seemed to work out okay.
Also, I think "official threads" are a good idea, in that users who do ask questions get the right answers. I can't count how many times I've seen "How does The Wall and Wizard of Oz sync together?", with no-one correcting the threadstarter.
And besides, part of the forum's rules state that if there is a thread on a certain topic, you shouldn't make a new thread. That's the only thing governing the official threads now, since we took out the official title.
So, we have a dilemma. Remove one of the main tenets of R&M rules, or keep the official threads, which people seem to be intimidated by.
As for the write-ups, everyone knows where I stand on those.
Another side note; nobody seems to care about the classic rock thread, even though the discussion in there is quite terrible at times.

I don't have a problem with the official threads themselves, I have a problem with how much they consume the forum.
There are just too many of them.
The write-ups are fine. They're very informative.
EDIT: I have to throw in a smiley so I don't feel like an *** about this.
:p
I feel better.
I don't :upset:
But yeah, there are lots of "official threads" for bands which kinda seem to be the flavor of the month more than anything else.
Definitely agreed. People seem to think that because ***OFFICIAL*** isn't seen on the official band threads anymore that suddenly the right to make "official" band threads has passed from the mod to the user, which really shouldn't be the case. People are coming up with the same types of pun names that were given to mod-sanctioned official threads on request from their existing communities, so it's as if they are creating official discussion threads themselves.
EDIT: To Riva- I would assume that no one cares because "Classic Rock" implies a more all-encompassing perspective with regard to discussion than a single-band official thread would. I.e. you can talk about something other than Led Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix if you want. The main gripe doesn't seem to me to be about the circular conversation in official threads (which just occurs naturally), it's more that certain users report away whenever a similar thread spurts up, thus effectively killing any attempt to get away from the deadened talk that permeates those official threads. If the regulations are loosened (not eliminated), that should be good enough, right?
Again, official threads don't exist anymore. Users can call their threads whatever they like, and as long as they are current, similar threads are disallowed. It's one of the oldest rules of our fine nation.
Are you some kind of commie, Lucas?
Again, official threads don't exist anymore.
Oh. Right. Sorry...
Even so, I'd say that the notion that they are still in some way "official" (due to number of replies, extent of conversation, etc.) carries over to the individual threads that are created and so the subconscious thought is still that once a thread on a band is created no others can exist. That's...more what I meant to say, I guess. The name has nothing to do with it, you're right. :)
Are you some kind of commie, Lucas?
No, Senator, I have never been a member of, nor have I associated with or corresponded with any member, representative, or affiliate body of the U.S. Communist Party.
:swears on the Bible:
Right. Tell me which threads are too large, and I will close them, start a new one, and make it all pretty like.

Just don't click it. Wait until the announcement is down then you'll be fine.
If you're that desperate log out and then click it I guess, that was the old annoucement. My thoughts are don't click anything

This is what happened. I'm back, by the way. Hello! :p
I clicked a link to a user's profile, so in that sense I didn't click one of the dreaded chad links. There was a script in the profile that stole my cookies. He apparantly gained access to my account before I changed my password.
I realized that the link was odd when my browser said that a .t35.com cookie was trying to access my computer. That's when I made the announcement to not click ANY links, even if you know what it is.
I'm still not clicking ANY links. If you report something, just hook me up with the name of the thread and I'll find it manually.

I'm not sure if this would be a good idea, cause the download URL's are long and weird, and since you could not just copy the link it would mean typing out some weird link with weird random numbers and letters.

However it's done, I think that this "SEND ME FREE STUFF K THX *email*" needs to end. Once one e-mail is posted for an upload, 10 more people post theirs. The leeching and downloading is about 100x worse, literally, than it was when YSI was allowed.

indeed, If really want the music they should do some effort to get it, nothing wrong with that.
I'm suscribed to two mailing lists right now, but I hardly ever download of any, it's because I don't really like downloading.
But I want to be a bit informed on what is being spread around MX, and just to keep up with albums and bands in general.
But I agree that this leeching is terrible, I think about 10.000 albums are beind dowloaded in total every month, which is a huge amount to say the least.
I hope more people will actually buy stuff, but that's just me.
to make a long story short :p
I think this screenshot is a good idea
One suggestion is that all of the mailing lists should be closed, and all the threadstarters to those threads should collaborate into one humongous thread. From there, they can post their screenshots/there can be one mass e-mailing, and people can select whether or not to download or not.
Personally, I don't download very often, if at all, because I don't like cheating artists and I have a tremendously slow connection at my permanent residence. I implement a try-it-before-you-buy-it approach, otherwise.
This is why I like the Request Music thread moreso than an entire album, but that's because that's just me, heh.

It really is. It's a great idea to get people into the essentials and the stuff the average person would not know. There does come a point though when I think it needs to end.

Please, please, please make everybody combine their mailing list threads, or just put a stop to all of the new ones that are popping up. There doesn't need to be one for every single genre.
It seems to me like the Daily Upload is the most popular, so I think everyone could just do their writeup and have it sent out in that. There are ridiculous amounts of them right now.
I would much rather have a page full of Mini F-A's than a page full of mailing lists. Maybe the screenshot idea can bring them back or something.

Okay here are some of my ideas on things to change.
Official threads: Delete the thread, then start a fresh one after a couple months so fresher posts can be made, and it will encourage other people to join in on the threads.
mailing lists: Combine all threads into one, or you could get rid of all of them (with the exception on the daily upload) to be honest we do not need all of them. They fill up peoples in boxes and never end up listening to them.
People are getting the idea that we need a mailing list for every genre, I think the only true need for a mailing list is to show support in the upcoming of newer bands or bands that do not get respect on these forums.
These are just my ideas.

Dont delete the band threads. We started the Pink Floyd thread over and the same people are posting. Besides, how does having less posts make the thread "fresher"?
If anything some people in here need to stop being Nazis about everything not being in the right thread.

12-11-2005, 08:24 PM
I agree with Kingofdudes.
The only thing I'd change is the mailing lists, I don't think they should stop, I just think that they should be put into one thread somehow, or something like that to free up a bit more space.
Because the mailing lists and Official band threads take up just about the whole 1st and 2nd page.

Because, when threads get backed up like that, it's gets annoying seeing the same threads on the first page every time. If I have been gone for a week and then go back on the same threads will be their, with the exception of one or two.
If we deleted the band threads then started them over it wouldn't be so annoying seeing them all the time.
I agree people make to big of deal on the rules, this should be a democracy, not a dictatorship.

They're not necessary, and nobody needs their e-mail flooded with five e-mails each containing at least one album and usually more than three.
In any case, there doesn't need to be one for each genre.
I would support them MUCH more if 3-5 songs were sent out for each album, instead of the whole thing. Even if they end up downloading it later, it's better than flooding everyone with 15 albums per day.
Personally I would listen to much more of this stuff if there were a couple of recommended tracks so I could decide if I liked the band or not without feeling like I need to get to know the album.

I remember way back when PimpDaddyKabz, NachoChez, and iamsuperdan were mods in here. There weren't any Official threads, and the forum was great. It wasn't really a problem if two threads about the same band were made in the same week. :)
I liked those days.

If someone wants to make a single Mailing List thread, it's fine with me. I'm not sure if the other mods have commented on it or not, but I personally feel that it's a good idea.
I'm sure there will be more Mailing Lists in the future.. so we might as well save room.

If you want to discuss the Industrial-Metal aspects of bands like Rammstein, Ministry and NiN, then I'd leave it in R&M. But just as many jazz and punk bands have rock elements, so to do they belong in their respective forums.
