I go onto the General Forum to see general banter about music and other peripheries amongst my friends but it reads more like the listings section of the Dublin Event Guide. I understand that there are a lot of promoters who post here and they are the life blood of Thumped, but I honestly think it’s impeding others like me from posting and browsing on this part of the site. There is a Gig Announcement section on Thumped, why don’t promoters just leave their electronic flyers on there instead?

Yeah I do but I mainly want to read folks opinions on music and music related topics.

I think Slayer were better in the 90s.

Just hit the unread posts or the new posts button and sift through, it's not that time consuming. Only the new stuff will come to the top from each forum.

Gig announcements is for announcing gigs. General forum is for discussing gigs and music. That's the way I always saw it.

That's crazy talk, Reign in Blood came out in the 80s.

yes, but most of the "gig discussion" threads here are announcements by promoters.

Sift through – my point exactly, why bother when there are loads of other forums that have strict no plugging gigs and no bumping rules on their general pages. It doesn’t take that long means it takes too long (in the parlance of our times)

Announcement for announcement / discussion for discussion – come on, no offence but that’s bollox

Don't mind him.

Yes, and Seasons in the Abyss came out in 1990.


* ah, was really only throwing a line out there...

But a lot of discussion comes out of those since no one can post in the announcement section. Granted not all, but many.

I like the gig announcements. Keep them I say.

ok
you're quite obviously not paying attention - only a few people here can post in the gig announcements section

My bad, I didn’t realise. It seems I’m the one talking bollix.

It’s still making a mockery out of the idea of a General Discussion section imho.

 

[pete]

gig announcements is for independent / diy promoters. paid up supporters get to post their stuff there too as a bonus.

replies are moderated to keep it on topic.
