| Vincent F. Evans User Info... | Everyone who uses http://www.livevictoria.com surely appreciates the services it provides and how it/they greatly enhance the ability of all of us to communicate and promote effectively. While browsing the gigs and profiles here, I have encountered quite a few artists and venues with forthcoming gigs listed, despite the fact that their profiles indicate they have not been updated in a long time. It is reasonable to assume that bands, musicians and venues post profiles here because they are interested in promoting their services to others. If the above is true, then it is also reasonable to assume that most of us are interested in creating a positive impression to anyone who we make aware of our services. With all of the above in mind, when a profile features a notice that it has not been updated in a long time (regardless of whether or not the profile is linked to upcoming event listings) what gets communicated is that the profile owner isn't well organized, doesn't take what they are doing very seriously, or hasn't checked their profile in a while. So how about we all check our profiles and update them (or remove them if they are no longer valid)? Doing so will make things a little better and a little easier for everyone who uses this valuable WebSite. Remember, just because this is a local site it doesn't mean that only locals are viewing the content; ask yourself if your current profile how you want the world to perceive you? Yours in pursuit of higher mutual advantage, Sincerely, Vincent F. Evans. - Fri, 30 Oct 2009 1:42pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | I like Nev's "last confirmation" system - to keep it clear who's active and who isn't. idea for Nev: maybe the bands could be sorted by last confirmation (or have an option for this view) like how promoter/etc resources are listed. that would help me as a promoter if I wanted to flip through the current active bands to see who to stick on a show as an opener. or who to have in the radio station for a live set and interview. or whatever. - Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:38pm Edited: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:39pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | Sorry I couldn't make time for this earlier. Tyler, the bands are sorted by last confirmation, where the bands who have updated in the last 9 months are listed first. You're probably not aware of this since I'm guessing you're viewing punk/hc/metal which we have a ton of, so the lamers don't start til page 7 or so, but take a look at the classical or hip-hop genres and you'll see what we've done. VFE, thanks again for prompting this discussion. - Wed, 11 Nov 2009 2:43pm | ||
