brooke User Info... | It kind of sucks that we share the shameless self-promo forum with Vancouver, especially now that HOB and other Vancouver promo companies are posting ten irrelevant concerts at a time. Anyone else think this? - Tue, 6 Sep 2005 5:53pm | ||
Jesspsycho User Info... | yup - Tue, 6 Sep 2005 6:13pm | ||
Haden User Info... | I don't really care....actually that's a lie. I like heading to Van for shows and sometimes I miss out on listings from other places. I'm happy that the Vancouverites share the scene.... - Tue, 6 Sep 2005 6:31pm | ||
nicola User Info... | I think it kinda sucks that local live shows get bumped so quickly due to out of town shows being listed in the same forum. I mean... I don't think I go to Van more than twice a year... and that's usually a day trip for work. If I want to see show listings for vancouver shows... I go to http://www.livemusicvancouver.com anyway. - Tue, 6 Sep 2005 11:11pm | ||
lonemonk User Info... | Perhaps there is a way for Professor to modify the listings layout somewhat to maximize the visible postings. With the current, only so many listing are ever going to show up in one place. Either that or continue to accept Vancouver listings, but split self-promo into two sections: Island Listings and Mainland/Elsewhere. - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 9:41am | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | I like having the heads-up on Vancouver shows. Local bands just gotta not be lazy and get their threads back up top. If H.O.B. posting 10 shows isn't motivation enough for one to get their shit to the top, then I don't know what is. - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 4:10pm | ||
LivevicScott User Info... | I do believe that the shameless and review sections were merged between vic and van so that we could create a bit more of a link between the two scenes. This is the first such complaint that we have had about the shared vic/van forums... maybe if we could flush this out a little more and find out what the preference is, as that is something we can change if people really don't like it? As for the HOB posts, what makes their shows irrelevant? Its not like they're posting shows that already happened? I realize that many of the people on the site might not care about the latest pop concert, however many/most are not interested in what jazz artists are comming but that dosen't make jazz artists posts irrelevant. get people talking about your show(s). If you want your show at the top of listings .. buy in ad and support us shmucks, or get people talkin about the gig... Shameless promotion is just that, and it wouldn't be very shameless if we did alot of moderation on it would it =) =) - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 4:46pm | ||
Adrenaline Animal User Info... | Man scott it's all about money with you now, you've changed man ;) - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 4:53pm | ||
Livevic Scott User Info... | Have I really Jeremy, have I really?? *laugh* - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 4:59pm | ||
Brandon User Info... | Why not make Van shameless and Vic shameless so then if we want to find out about van shows we can check it out and vice versa for the livemusicvancouver.com folks? - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 6:12pm | ||
XY-SATAN User Info... | I think the Van/Vic mix is good and I agree with Mr Hell ( for fear on damnation \m/ ). ...ahem > FACES OF BLACK - HEZZAKYA - RUN LIKE HELL -- Sat. September 10th @ Logan's Oh and Bum pit ! But maybe the administrator could change the settings to only allow two posts in the shameless shenanigan section at a time ? - Wed, 7 Sep 2005 7:08pm | ||
Mi*coll* User Info... | For what it's worth, I don't ever check the self-promo board anymore unless I am promoting something myself. It has become a little spammy. But what has happened may be inevitable for a free resource. - Sun, 11 Sep 2005 10:34pm | ||
WILLEM User Info... | what the hell. SELF PROMOTION. I play for beer. - Fri, 16 Sep 2005 12:15am | ||
