Sometimes if I go for a day or more or sometimes less I miss alot of topics that get shuffled back. Having no categories is nice but it just seems alot of stuff gets pushed back pretty quick and lost since the HOD has been growing rapidly. Anybody else notice this?
Yeah, this system should have categories, it would make it much easier to grab multimedia that way.
There is category on Dime [img]wink.gif[/img]
Go on View Torrents > Show all of: > then select category, you have Lot of category
You even receive a e-mail who notify when a new seed is added on specific category go on [User CP] > Click here to edit your account details
Right but it would make life a little easier if their where just a few section here to help sort it out.
-Sharing and Trading (post any files you want to share or trade)
-Drums (Everything about drums/music)
-Everything Else (All the worthless crap drummers like to talk about)
It would still have the same feel because its really not restricting sections because they are pretty big sections.
Just an idea.
I would venture to say that Steve's probably busy enough as it is, and would like to spend more time practicing his drumming or gaming rather than have to start all over again with the website. But is sure seems like its growing leaps and bounds lately.
2ndly..... I like the idea of a "Everything Else (All the worthless crap drummers like to talk about)" section where we could send the Pearl drum forum guys to. [img]wink.gif[/img]
3rdly.... I don't think Steve wants to get into the issues that "Dime" had and is still having with intellectual property by creating a "sharing or trading" area. I like the low keyness of the system the way it is. Kinda cool when you tell another drummer on the "low down", check this website out and go to this area and check out the downloads.
I dunno??
I just love the way this forum is.
If it ain't Broke why fix it? We seem to have fun enough the way it is now [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/music.gif[/img]
The idea of categories is cool, but again...<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Word. I agree [IOWs, why draw unnec attn to & risk the poss of "Losing It"]... [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]frown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]Quote:

Worthless crap? [img]mad.gif[/img]
Please stand aside, guys, I'd like to cut a slice of this for myself. [img]graemlins/grrr.gif[/img]
One drummer's worthless crap is another man's trophy wife. [img]wink.gif[/img]

NO CATEGORIES PLEAZZZZZZ!
I hate forums with multiple categories;
Let's Talk Drums
Drums and Tuning
Selling Your Drums
Who's Your Favorite
Technique
Reading
What Are You Listening To Now
Local Gigs
How To Make It
Practicing Tips
Mp3's
Sound Files
Video Clips
Drum Jokes
Drum Clothing
Best Shoes To Wear
Double Bass Patterns
Odd Signatures
Best Music Schools
OK...you get it [img]confused.gif[/img]
Do a search if you want to categorize.
Five Eight...you read Nelson DeMille? Specifically his character John Corey; Plum Island, Lion's Game, Night Fall???
Your posts sound like a drumming version of John Corey [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Hadn't read Night Fall yet, but I've read the other two. Square bizz.
"When do we get to meet Dr. No?" [img]wink.gif[/img]
I dont want 1000000 sections. Those drive me mad sometimes. Just a way to weed out the off topic stuff and the good stuff [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I second the motion, Pocket's list was proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's called "Forum Darwinism." Survival of the fittest.

Good defense, Pocket. Slam-dunk case. The prosecution rests. Court adjourned[?]...

Just click onto the next page of topics - No big deal really is it? [img]confused.gif[/img]
It's not a big deal just a little annoying [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Yeah I have to say I like the messageboard without different categories.
No real reason for me - just personal preference.
No catagories, please.
Thanks
Please leave it this way without any categories. I like reading back all posts instead of searching in the different categories. In fact there is only one category, drummers talk!
But there was another thing what was bothering me for a while. The lack of respect to the moderators and first members. This forum has become larger and larger and some people judgde(d) decisions in editing posts, while they do their utmost best to keep it fun for everyone.
I have always appreciated their decisions, their feedback and expertise and I am happy that I can be a part of this interesting and fun forum. Again leave it this way, and the brown lay out too. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Let's talk drums again!
Word, JP.
Only other thing:
Does anyone else have a problem w 'writing PMs' in the My Profile section, or finding other members in the 'memberlist' area?
Everytime i enter a member's public name or number only, in either case, i always get an error message. Always. & it's not a cookies thing, as they are enabled & I am able to access AWA post just find [as you can often see [img]wink.gif[/img] ]...it's a hassle to do these 2 things... [img]confused.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img] /:-(
The only other suggestion would have been to have a 'return to topics-list mainpage' button in the bottom R of each final sent reply page of each indy thread [img]wink.gif[/img] ...other than that, I AIN'T COMPLAININ'! /;-p [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]

You guys crack me up who think this way. Have you EVER been in another message board? The mod's here are not thin skinned and are very confident in what they do. No individual is going to come in here and take over, not gonna happen. While this forum has grown, it doesn't need mod police and IMO, it is one of the tamest, more focused forums on the Net. 90% of the talk is drums. The other 10% is fun rants and raves that are constructive IMO. I love a topic on Buddy that goes for six pages. So be it.
...besides, whenever balance is needed, we gots Fuse! His codes style of writing makes you have to read closely or skip and bump ahead. Either way, he's got game. [img]cool.gif[/img]
I think it'd be super cool if we could get one of those 'view new posts' buttons and 'new post' icons. Most boards have them now, and when you click on them, they take you to the first new post on that thread that you haven't read. It'll save everybody time, especially in those longer threads.
I'm not a fan of sub-categories in forums, sorry.
Also on the main forum page, it says the name of the person who posted the last response. If you click their name, it takes you to their post.
Also newly replied to posts are always bumped to the top. Plus you can see how many replies there are, so you know if there's more then when you were last reading that topic.
I do apreciate the suggestions though you guys. Keep em coming! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
My 2 pence (!) .... I agree with Steve and H2 "Forum Darwinism" - Wicked!!!
I think you misunderstood me, Pocket Player. I was saying [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] to the forum and its moderators. Sorry for being unclear. Or am I misunderstanding something? [img]confused.gif[/img]
...you made me go back and read your post. Thanks, cause I will speak about the brown background.
Change it! It's so drab. Zip this place up a little. I feel like I'm in a 70's apartment from Welcome Back Kotter [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img]
I think it was perhaps the way it was worded...&, PP has that super-fast scan-read thang down...[he's used to my 'old' posts...awa a few of his own] /;-p
This quite poss is a HODhb first; PP misunderstandg a post. OK; perhaps a 2nd...but no more than a 3rd... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
In either case, what i'm saying is, like a good Outback steak, it's a rarity [img]cool.gif[/img] [actually i like mine medium...but eh, who cares...unless it's a "How do you drummers like your meats prepared?" thread...eh, never mind, i digress [that means you'se too, 5 & mat...] [img]wink.gif[/img] Boy, HOW did we get there...[perfect example of non-mus junk-talk, awa proof of thread topic title]...
Whacked, ain't it.

Ok, I got some time today while I'm BBQ'in...let me review here (PS--Don't take this internally JP, just wanting to understand what you said...I thought I did...maybe not):

I took this to mean that you thought some were taking pot shots at the mods by not respecting them. Was I wrong?
My point 1 was...the mods are fine. Nobody is coming into HOD and take over. The mods aren't thin skinned...they can take critique and are fair in their evalutations of some who might go too far left or right.
My point 2 (more subtle) was that I've felt a pattern of those who are newer in HOD to feel things have gotten too rant'in and rav'in as of late with a few topics. Think back about 2-3 weeks ago. There were several posts that said we all need to get back to drumming and be nice and all.
My response has been consistent stating I liked discussion with depth and that this is a rare opportunity to explore way beyond the surface of normal conversational parameters.
To tie it up, we are on the same page, I am also saying [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] to the mods, but extending that those who want to critique is equally [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] ---they can take it! [img]wink.gif[/img]
What up FUSE...did I go south of the border on this one? ...and yes, I will always call you FUSE [img]cool.gif[/img]
Check it, Pbro; this is the way i "got" it [check words/meanings in parentheses, maybe it'll help; this is the way i took it to mean, anyway]: [img]wink.gif[/img]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hopefully i am on target [& not presumptuously way off base!] [img]cool.gif[/img]Quote:

Even the great philos AWA common sense advocate pocket [awa got a matchfuse] can have an off day, eh...[but perhaps?! still better'n some folks good daze...we can only hope...n pray...& try to bribe people...NO, NO; er, that's not right...] j/k [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I think Steve should turn this website into a sorta "Oprah" show kinda drum forum, and we should all get new Yamaha or Gretsch kits. Everyone one of us!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
But seriously.... Pocket!!?? Do you ever return your e-mails brutha!!!??
My fiance' wants to buy your car!!
Call me or e-mail me!!
FUSE BABY...that's how I read JP's post.
Johnny Fast Track...your emails might be going to my junk filter. See other thread w/Foxfire problems. I set everything on HIGH to get rid of all Net Pollution!
I will check the junk mail...I emailed you back the other day and didn't see anything new.
Go to see JR Thurs!
No problem PP, first I was [img]confused.gif[/img] and finally [img]smile.gif[/img] after your last post [img]wink.gif[/img] maybe this is better then my English LOL
We are saying more or less the same, and I like "depth" discussions and emotional comments too but offending someone personally is not my COT (I learned this on this forum from someone who used to be [img]confused.gif[/img] ), but this is my HO and maybe I have to read back.
Anyway, your reply is appreciated and FUSE, thanks for this English class. [img]wink.gif[/img] Back to the discussion; I like my steak medium rare, 1,5 minute on each side grilled, pepper, salt and some garlic butter. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
PP do you mean brian blade-ish background kinda thing? LMAOL
