Tedious Self-Promotion Forum

Dubs

Production

Other Music

no
so what would count as a "real dubstep thread"? promotion of nights/radio shows/records but not any discussion about dubstep?

yes.

facts:
1. there is not enough space in main for advertising and discussions.
2. you cant force advertising out of main.

the only thing that is left is to move discussions out of main. what do you think?

I dunno actually- when I think about it how many discussions were there in the forum before it became a promo fest?

There was the odd 50 page ''isn't dubstep ___'' thread but not much else really was there?

But then maybe if there was space there'd be more discussions.

ok. yeah that makes sense having all the info about dubstep in one place but may lead to people not checking the other subforums. i know i never used to check the hideout or other forums until fairly recently. at the end of the day somethings always going to lose out but it's all about weighing up what's more important

good luck sorting it all out :)

where would all the "___ appreciation" threads go btw? they fit between hype and discussion and i could see them getting annoying in either the dusbtep or discussion forums

there is a limit to how much you can read the same 'is there too much/not enough ........in dubstep'.

or '..... is wicked/crap'
Yeah this is true.

Maybe change ''Other Music'' into ''Music Discussion''- that way people can discuss dubstep and anything else in there, could make it more interesting/wide ranging?
