Should We Bring Back the YLC Subforum?

[Joyrex]

Well, should we? The general consensus when reviving the board was to lump YLC into the EKT main forum, but some of you are asking "Where's YLC?" So, in true democratic (ha) fashion, let's put it to a poll.

 

In addition, should we as well have album and single track announcement subforums inside YLC?

 

This poll will expire in 1 week, so get hopping!

I personally preferred the old structure of EKT. 1 section for EKT questions and the other for YLC tracks. At the moment its a bit messy (IMHO anyway)

[cruising for burgers]

what would be in "Subforums For Album Notices & Single Tracks As Well?" if we allready have YLC??!??!?

[Guest abstractology]

that stemmed from a suggestion awhile back for having ylc for one off tracks and such and another one for albums, reason being that if you have an album to post or want to hear an album that the album wont go to page 2 so quickly.

 

 

edit: theo?

[Guest Gump]

bring back YLC with new album subforum please

[Guest Promo]

The old way was good jah.

[Fred McGriff]

too many subforums, no one notices and no one cares when you have to dig more than a forum deep. or that's just me maybe.

Have you noticed on the forums mainpage it now shows if subforums have new topics and also the latest topic!

 

Also, RSS feeds keep you up to date...

[Guest PAUL!]

yes, bring it back

[Meadows and Labyrinths]

i think we should keep it the way it is now, but use some sort of distinguishable tag for each topic title, xlt style. for example:

 

[YLC] Meadows & Labyrinths - Long Ass Ambient Track

[Guest boo]

no. but if you do have it (because of the poll results), don't call it ''your latest creations'', just call it ''tracks'' or something.

[Guest Promo]

Call it "Only listen to Promo's Tunes section".

[Guest A/D]

having all of the music making/discussion in one place makes it easier and more fun to read, not to mention generates more interesting crossover topics.

[Guest abstractology]

I can see how both ways would be good.

 

[YLC] Meadows & Labyrinths - Long Ass Ambient Track

 

[plastic]

ok here's the deal:

 

make SongSpam™ the top level forum, then make the rest (if anyone wants the album subforum) lower levels than that. This way the important stuff is quickest to get to, stuff no one cares about is lower.

 

done and done.

[springymajig]

I say no to both.

 

I don't think the discussion section of EKT was used enough to warrant a seperate section, and besides, alot of people accidently put stuff in EKT instead of YLC. It would avoid confusion to just have one forum. But if you do bring it back, I think that EKT should be a subforum of YLC or a completely seperate one.

 

I also disagre with the other thing... ALTHOUGH I DO THINK we should be allowed to post finished albums/eps in general discussion without everyone giving us funny looks... unless we're posting it for constructive crit, then it would be more appropiate to put it in YLC.

 

But an all around leniency on people posting full album/ep's in general discussion would be appreciated.

[ten fingers ten toes]

All this music stuff tends to clutter up important analogue/digital debates!!

 

In all seriousness, I like subforums, but then, my sock drawer is clean too. Make of that what you will.

[Guest Promo]

Back to normal please.

[Guest Iain C]

Back to normal please.

 

Indeed... there's been hardly any technical discussion/tips/etc. posted since WATMM came back. It'd be nice to encourage all that shit to grow again, like a small delicate young tree, by fencing it off and keeping it separate from the gnawing incisors of YLC.

[hokum]

How about making EKT a part of YLC instead of the other way around?

:P :D

[Guest yan_g of course!]

agreed with the comments about eps. should be postable in the general discussion forum.

[Guest MMBKG]

This is what I thought initially upon joining this board. I figured that YLC would be the focus as opposed to the discussion. Something to think about. But definitely have them in seperate forums, and the "albums" and "tracks" subforums sound good.
