Hi
I have a plan for the music forum.
Every week we are going to make a weekly discussion of some sort in this forum.
Currently it's just me and thecatamites as many of the other people I've asked are busy or don't have anything at the moment to speak about.
I'm planning to get a small amount of people together and then we each take a turn creating a discussion topic in this forum once a week.
For examples of the type of topics I am talking about check these topics: http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=5378.0 and http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=5288.0
It doesnt have to be about just a genre by the way either, it can be about anything which gets people talking. This doesn't mean you can't make other topics! Just don't label them as TOTW (topic of the week) unless that is what you intend.
I have no problem with just me and thecatamites taking weekly turns but I'm extending this offer in case a few others are interested?
The only major criteria you have to fill in making these topics is that a)the topic is well written, b) it's interesting and you make some effort.
(also a mod may want to sticky this)

I'd definitely be willing to help, but the only thing I feel I'd have any "knowledge" about is metal/hardcore, and even then, its not very good. But if you'd give me a shot I'll try. Also, I was wondering what you guys thought about a general recommendation topic. You know, just somewhere for someone to ask for some recs and such incase they don't want to start a topic or something.

Well dude that topic you sent me was really good so your definately in. The recommendation topic is definately a good idea and something we could work on as well.
-
I would totally be interested in helping you guys, Afura.
-
Ok thats five of us, I'll probally leave this open for a few more days and limit it to TWO MORE PEOPLE MAX.
Unless someone just wants to do a one off topic and not be regularly scheduled that is cool as well.
-
I think mine might be better as an off-topic since its just about one band. Plus. compared to the stuff you and catamites have, I'm not sure if its Totw material as it is just like a simple thread about the band.

fair call, maybe something a bit more general.
Alright Couch just signed up so we have one more regular.
One more person to do regular topics and we are full. Other people as stated before can do some one off stuff too if they like.
-
So when the team is assembled (so to speak), will there be some kind of roster set up?
yes adeline u fkn fagot wtf did u think
Also I have a few things to clarify later on but it'll be done real soon, cross my heart.
-
yeeeeeeah im in the club wooh
-
Ok guys heres the schedule, there shouldnt be any problems since its pretty basic!
We are going to run a new topic every sunday. I'm putting Smoothy/Tomohawk Joe on the first week as they seemed really keen to do one together and Tomohawk asked first SO MAKE IT GOOD GUYS :).
Heres in the order in which we are going to take turns:
TomohawkJoe/Smoothy - First Week (this sunday)
Adeline- Week After
Couch- Week after that
The Catamites- Next
Me- Next.
And then the cycle repeats (except smoothy/tomohawk will probally have seperate topics) so anyway expect to do a topic every 6 weeks.
I know this seems like a long wait for some of you but this doesn't stop you from making topics in here ya know!
I will also be sending a pm to each member a few days before their TOTW in case they may have forgotten or whatever.
Any questions/ideas feel free to share them here. Like I was thinking if some of you guys have a problem with waiting too long perhaps you can come up with a remedy for that.
<Plus you'll find after you first few topics you might not be so eager so it might be good to have a long break between topics ya know?
Cool? :)
Further TOTW Applications have now closed If anyone else wants to contribute you'll probally have to settle for being a one off TOTW writer and not a regular cause it just gets ridiculous with too many people!
-
tomohawkjoe and I are discussing/brainstorming our topics idea right now.
-
Yeah, this is fine... I might post some stuff in the meantime, but it'll probably be about individual bands and stuff. I'll save the massive lists for the TOTWs...
-
when is the new topic up???
-
hey i'm gonna be gay and i dont get this.
why dont we just make topics a lot! why's it need to be weekly stuff and all organized?
-
I sent my half to smoothy already. If he takes to long I'll just go ahead and post it.
Steel, I think the reason he wants the weekly topics deal is because that will give people time to write up something worth discussion and shit. If anything, it at least guarantees a new topic every week. I remember were we wouldn't get topics for a shit load of days and it was just two or three topics getting like, a post every other day. Plus, he said we can post other topics besides that. I get were your coming from though. Posting more topics would just allow for more discussion and shit without having to wait a week or so... You just gave me an idea.
-
hey i'm gonna be gay and i dont get this.

we can make topics alot! :)
because this is just for totws, ive still got heaps of topics im gunna post but its nice that we have a discussion DEFINATELY once a week, i think if its organised and people take turns it'll last longer too. just a cool thing to do i guess, i think its already making the music forum more active.
-
hmm, you might be right, but I have to wonder how many of them are just people already invested in the TOTW idea who have been posting here to begin with. look at overall topics and there's little post or topic increase.
-
I kinda agree with steel. I mean, most of the post in the threads so far have been by the same people. We have garnished almost no attention from GW as a whole, OH GAWD MUSIC IS BECOMING THE NEXT LIT!!!! Quick, someone post a PT topic, that'll get things started.
-

Well I'm gunna stick with this TOTW idea because I like it but I think you could also be right. Perhaps a few mainsite articles could help?
Don't forget it has only been a week and a bit, topics which are actually worthwhile are being made other than just "WHAT SONG WULD U LIEK PLAYED AT YOUR NEXT OFFICEPARTY?
-
Ok so Adeline your on next week!!! :o
I have two topic ideas on my brain at the moment. One for TOTW and I'll probally make another hiphop one with different artists once the current one dies down.
-
it's up YOU BETTER READ IT
better be good you asutrailian maggit
also i think after this round of topics we should focus on some musicial discussion so we don't end up just doing recommendations topics. (this isnt directed at you adeliney just a thought for the future)
-
Sory but gotta bump this so it gets some attention:

I've already written up my next totw (on 70s punk, surprise surprise), but I could always just post that as a regular topic and then do the totw on a discussion thing if you want.
-
Ok so Couch.... didn't post anything.
thecatamites you're up next, it can be a discussion or a list if you want, mainly because you had already pre-written your topic and I wouldn't want to make you rewrite a brand new one.

So if Couch isn't posting, do I do it this sunday or next sunday? if it's this sunday I'll just post the list, but if it's for next sunday I can do the discussion.

You can just post a list now dude and do a discussion next week if you like? :D
I just reminded couch then (maybe you didnt get my first pm?) but he said he will try post something tonight or tommorow as well but meh two TOTW's who cares?
Also the catamites don't post the list if it isn't totally ready, I dont want to make you do two TOTW's as everybody has lives obviously.
-
All right, the list is up. I'll do the discussion thingy next week, then.

Thanks dude, I hope you arent being overworked or are running out of material or something. Because I can just as easily go a week early to give you a break!
-
No, it's cool. Anyway, doing this helps keep my mind off the exams!

Hey dude, I'm gunna let couch post next sunday to give you a break.
You can go the week after.
Then it's me and back to normal again.

-
i think im ready... although the topic im breaching might be TOO BIG FOR ME...
-
Don't forget its you this weekend couch!
-
I'm purposely not going to
-
btw maybe you should space these out a little bit guys
-

They are dude, we post one every Sunday according to schedule. It just seems like there are heaps because the topics tend to get quite a few posts.
Also the Catamites it's your turn this Sunday but if you are too busy due to your Staffer position I can post instead.
-
no i mean more than just a week between them. i guess it's ALRIGHT since they're discussion topics and it's good to get the forum active, but it's also kind of confusing to have so many concurrent topics of the week up!
-
the only reason so many are up is because the music forum as a whole is somewhat dead and doesn't get topics in it so yeah, they are all up at once and people just bump whichever they want.
-
I guess the problem will just go away once we get more posts or whatever?
-
Also the Catamites it's your turn this Sunday but if you are too busy due to your Staffer position I can post instead.
No, it's fine. Besides, it's pretty much written up already...
-
Ok dude it's your turn when you are free enough
-
It's posted now. Congratulations on making mod, by the way!
-
I'm going to be away this weekend until Monday, Sooo I'll be posting my TOTW a day late. sowy guyz :(
-
Ok Tomohawk joe it's going to be your turn this week and I'll email smoothy next week to see where he is at.
-
Hey whens my next one I have a good idea.
-
I'm considering stopping this as the forum is picking up a little bit, what do you think? TELL ME
-
BUMPIN
-
why? most of the topics are pretty good i don't know why you'd stop it as soon as the forum starts getting active again
-
yeah f'off afura this is good for the growth of the music forum
-
woah woah take it easy, just seeing if there was public interest
-
I'm doing the TOTW this weekend, took a break last week :)
-
shit. it's my turn, right? i got waylaid today and so it's not quite done, but i'll try to get it posted tomorrow morning or evening if that's ok. it'll probably have to be my last totw too.
-
Thats ok are you really really busy adeline? P-Tizzle is our guest TOTW maker next week btw everyone.
-
Thats ok are you really really busy adeline?
yeah I will be. I'll still try to make topics now and then, of course, but not under the totw banner. got some topics I wanna make anyway.
seems that you, thecatamites, el capitano and the TotWers have put some life into this forum regardless, so good job!
-
Thats cool man.
Yeah definitely good to see more posting and discussion here. Its gunna be even better when gw6 is up and we have even more members posting here. Thanks to those guys for their input for sure!

edit2: topic up
edit3: though I fear I made it too philosphical sounding and complicated for the general population of GW to have the patience to sift through....
