Re: Time for Goodbye?

Nooooo way, definitely NOT time to say goodbye.

Kamal, I see where you are coming from, there are tons of postive posts around here. Unfortuanately people just can't help themselves and post negative/critical stuff. If we could all just igonre those comments... we would be golden. Replying just fuels the fire... even in this thread.. its so sad to see negative comments. Unreal.

I love the look of this site, but I'm up for anything that will even remote resemble [ms] As mentioned before... this is the best site in the world for EDM ... so many artists that I have discovered over the years. I may not know any of the members personally, but I feel like we all have been thru something special, and we have a special bond...hell with soundclound, facebook and other trashy social media sites.. thery are a dime a dozen.... [ms] is a diamond in the rough!

I could go on forever about [ms] but I won't....

And lastly if Gatz came out of hiding... it must really mean something :D

[QUOTE=sbando;1154827]By the way, my offer to create and maintain an MS Soundcloud Page (free for MS user with unlimited uploads) and an MS SC group is still valid. Don't be lazy! It can be done.[/QUOTE]

I would be very glad to contribute. Can't wait this to get started !

Re:

What Micko said! This place was such a relief from the old GU forums where the old guard would just bash everybody for breathing the wrong way. It's nice to be a part of a mature music community with some intelligence on board. It would totally suck if [ms] disappeared.

Re: Time for Goodbye?

Even though I am not on hear as often , I would miss it.

#1739017Post 94 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

Great discussion, and good to be addressing the apparent ELEPHANT in the (chat) room. My thoughts:

  • Consolidation is the way to go, less is more. Agree with getting rid of sub-forums

  • Get down to what's important. To me, I come here to learn about and listen to electronic music, and there's still lots of people passionate about it here. That must count for something

  • I'm happy to chip in for any costs myself, I've got some amazing sets from the board and would love to give back

  • I think resetting post count is a good idea. I don't post often but that doesn't mean I'm not on here reading and enjoyng some posts. I think post-count may have a link to sense of entitlement for some. Should be about music not ego.

  • Seeing as the Oscars are on, if we had the equivalent on MS, I'd give 'Best Thread' Oscar to Micko for his ambient thread, the time and effort he's put on there is incredible!

P L U R to all members and here's to an effective strategy to maintaining some version of MS :)

#1739018Post 95 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

No costs involved, free access for everyone.

Re: Time for Goodbye?

If everyone's post count is reset, the posts will all have to go through the approval process.

Ta very much :oops:

I never thought there were so many ambient fiends out there ;)

Re: Time for Goodbye?

As gross as this sounds, you were stickied for a reason.

#1739061Post 101 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

It does appear there is a lot of life yet in MS and perhaps talk of it being harpooned has been a good thing.

We even have lurkers posting their first post in the ambient thread wondering what it's all about, in the hope MS remains

#1739063Post 102 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

As bunny from Rabbit in the Moon said to me once, music trends are cyclical. I think that applies to MS. to the extent that there will be slow seasons and popular seasons. Would also be nice if more members would actually start threads, imho.

?? this from John & Mark who contributed nada to the last thread I started, prob didn't even click on the links :roll:

.....not that it's compulsory, but yea whatever fellas :lol: agreed

#1739085Post 105 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

I don't visit as much as years past, but i'd miss Mercuryserver.

A leaner MS could be good. I only check in these days to do a quick drive-by to see what Kamal and a few people are up to and to check the music forums. Someone said it earlier in this thread and it's so true- i find out about sets, albums, music, etc. here that i'd never find elsewhere, that alone keeps me coming back along with the faint nostalgia and familiarity of a place i've visited for over a decade.

Pretty odd really. MS has been catfished.

You know something I was thinking the very same

Are we any nearer to resolving the issue ;)

#1739415Post 115 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

the forums need some kind of new structure nonetheless...can we set up some kind of vote on how many (sub)forums we should keep?

  • i was wondering, is it a good idea to build some kind of archive on soundcloud? regarding the copyright etc situation ?!
#1739428Post 116 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

I just hope the Artists Linking that pickle set up stays in place.
Super nice to be able to go through that list to find out if any of your favorite artists sets have been posted instead of trying to search around on all the forums to find them.

#1739433Post 117 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

+1000

#1739438Post 118 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

I think MS still has plenty of life...still alot of activity on the promos section too. would be a sad sad thing if it went away. especially for us long time veterans

really no other place out there that even compares.

#1739460Post 119 of 180

Re: Time for Goodbye?

Hopefully MS is going nowhere - I've been buzzing around these parts for over 10 years - it would be a shame to lose the connection

Re: Time for Goodbye?

bump (the forum kind, not the white stuff)

great place to trade other people's music. i <3 being a member here and hope it doesn't go away. i'll be honest, my time is ONLY spent in the forum to get dj sets. this place is a gold mine for that reason alone though. i hope my nonparticipation elsewhere is ok though? people fight in ALL interwebz forums, that is nothing new and happens everywhere. in fact, if people didn't get in a huffy, it'd probably get really boring...

my vote is obv to keep this place as i visit quite frequently. btw, aesthetically it is the BOMB too. i hate bright forums.
