So this is all you have to do.

1. put up song
2. pull it down quick
3. whine about no one listening to it
4. sit back and watch the thread grow

Well done!

I was going to say the same thing. Paul got more responses to saying he didn’t get any responses than you normally do when you post a new tune.

What a country!

so is there anything wrong with just dropping a quick comment to that effect?

absolutely nothing wrong with it, I try to say something whenever I can right away or leave a like but I have also heard something and left a comment another day. Just saying it happens.

Specially if you are … feeling disconnected and having one of those days where you just cant see the light … someone wise once wrote a song about it and its one of my favorites!

@ncls

I mean there is not so many people here, and only 10% are active

I think thats the story of many specialized forums with time. What I do like about here is that its a time tested group that works through a lot of the problems. We have our disagreements but we try to reach common ground. There are great people here.

@antihero

sit back and watch the thread grow

I think it was a clever ice breaker on the issue

It would be cool if the mix critiques could start like a multiple choice survey @Jonathan @holster (could be a fun coding project) .

Oooooh! Good idea… maybe have a popup window that reads something like ‘what did you think of this mix’? Then open up some simple multiple choice span/div

@FluteCafe

its likely that I don’t have the energy… that day.

Same problem on trying to make changes to this site. I ran into some time (and skill level) problems the last time I went into the backend code for this thing to try and modify how certain backstage threads were filtered. I’d love to try and build out some features on this site, even if they’re just super super small convenience improvements, but I’m getting killed at work with overtime commitments - I also got completely moved out of the division of the company that has anything to do with web development. But great idea anyway. Maybe add that one to the Jira backlog? lol.

that would be pretty cool actually, then we can see a survey result days later and get a good birds eye view. It might serve the purpose of getting good feedback and increase engagement fast. The other thing that could be handy is keeping survey blind but comments public as they are currently.

however the downside of any ‘tech shortcut’ that works towards an efficient workflow is creating ‘coldness’ . There is a special ‘warmth’ in someone taking the time to actually physically type out of the feedback as opposed to clicking buttons in a software. Although, quite a few people just dont like typing stuff these days lol or they are just really busy. If we present the users a choice then we get best of both worlds. Its going to come down to what we actually value here. Quick and true feedback or warm engagement or both.

Its out there lol

Well, I am semi famous. There are people I owe money. I’m also in the witness protection program for things I may or may not have done in guitar stores in the Midwest during the 70’s.

Haha! I missed this comment!

Missed this comment too! You’ll be pleased to know I have something cooking on that front - stay tuned!
