PrincessHolly Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 It wasn't always busier! I remember afternoons a few summers ago when I'd be online, go away for for a shower and there'd be an entire page of new (not always stupid) posts. Now sometimes you go to bed and there's only about 7 new posts when you get back up in the morning.Plus a lot of threads are the same thing I've seen about seven hundred times. There used to be a sense of community, you knew almost everyone if you saw them in the street but now I wouldn't recognise half of the people that post on here (I am a total fud though).Perhaps it's because I don't go to as many gigs as I used to. Perhaps it's because I have something to do with my time and don't spend 12 hours a day posting. Either way I miss it. But I do have a life now too.

Guest Bob Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Is it just me or are there only about 6 threads on that website?Also, every band member that posted was in the same band, Dos Dedos... which may explain the friendly atmosphere and suggest a certain element of irony in my post. I'm not saying that everyone who took my post seriously was a bit of a ninny, but if someone else would like to do it for me I'd appreciate it.

The fact all 3 of us were in Dedos was just a coincidence. If I remember correctly marcus and I just happened to be online when Neil wanted people to test it.

Tav Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Indeed got the joke after going along to the link...I was rather hoping to see an archive of one of the old boards though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I love that archive site. if I could be arsed I'd try and find the thread from last year which has links to the old blind youth and alphabetty sites in that archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 That is pretty cool actually looking back at the archived sites. I like to think things have moved forward quite significantly over the years. A few facts to throw into this discussion:1. The web site has more registered members than it has ever had in the past.2. The web site is receiving more hits than it ever has in the past.3. The web site is receiving more posts than it ever has in the past.4. This web site is very nearly breaking even for the first time in its entire history. Of course, something being popular doesn't necessarily mean it's good. But to be honest if this web site was becoming just a mess of useless posts and threads then I would expect its popularity to also decline and that just isn't happening.I remain concerned that the web site is losing its direction a little though and that is why the future replacement for aberdeen-music.com (yep, you heard me right) will have considerably more "content" and place less emphasis on the forums. To be honest, up till now, aberdeen-music.com has pretty much consisted of nothing more than forums. Which is all well and good but this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the potential of the web site goes.I can promise you this - I'm going to piss off a lot of people in 2005 with the next web site. But hey, progress and evolution can sometimes be painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
