So I realize more and more here that the general discussion board has basically turned into a board where the artists of this site such as myself have been relegated to when we post about our music even though the stuff we are choosing to discuss and share are very much HIP HOP related and for a while I let it slide. At the end of the day like PM has said, we for the most part are "hobby rapper's/producer's", but still why is that being sent to the gen board?
My idea is to have a 3rd discussion board that is for artists like me, Tomblr, and Crumple where we can share our projects and discuss possible future collabs with other artists on this forum.
That way the gen board can be enjoyed by those here to talk about non-music stuff, the Hip Hop board won't be cluttered up with aspiring artists who are members on the forum trying to spam the main board, and we have an actual spot to share that stuff we want for those who actually care.
Let me know. Just an idea I've been kicking around.

This is easy to decline. There isn’t much traffic to this site in general. Splitting up boards even more won’t really be effective. Just use the General Board for it. By and large, that’s most of the content over there anyways - no need for a separate board.
I ain’t trying to gatekeep who is/isn’t an actual artist. The fact of the matter is though, if we let everyone promote themselves in the hip hop board, well, we’d go downhill even further (if that’s possible). Most users don’t want to see/read that s**t. That’s the facts. The boards will stay as is unless there’s some kind of landslide of poll results/opinions that come out here.

I'd like to think this would attract more people to the board and that they would promote their music in one space but also contribute to the other spaces in particular the hip hop discussion board. But I respect the opinions of those who know better than me to make the call.

I guess a part of me likes to pretend it's like the old ughh site or could possibly one day be like it even though it seems we are on the decline lol. maybe i'm wrong, but figured i'd throw my idea out there to see what others thought. |

But I respect the opinions of those who know better than me to make the call. The biggest thing is, the windfall participation simply doesn’t happen. It would become overrun with self promo posts from new users who drop a bunch of links and then never come back. Can’t tell you how many posts I’ve deleted of self promotion and those accounts never log in again. On the converse side of that, there’s people like Crump (no shade being thrown - just stating facts). Guy’s been a long time member of the old boards and then these boards. Ever since his super thread has been made on the gen board, he literally never posts on the hip hop board (ie no contribution to the overall community). Which shows he’s here for only one reason. Eseph, I appreciate the poll and like I said, if there was overwhelming support for it, I’m not opposed to doing the work. I guess I would say this… these boards are what we make it. There’s been collabs, networking, side projects and artistic relationships created through these boards without the dedicated board for it. And while we’re at it, I’ll call myself out - I contribute f**k all to the hip hop discussion board. I do read it and I do find new s**t to check out, but yeah. I definitely don’t help grow the engagement within our community. |

I just noticed that that you brought up Crumple not posting on this board anymore. No different than the old site when he would only post on the HHB to promote his music with no engagement in other threads. I’ve been calling him fake forever , post after post about how he’s sober, who he’s worked with , who he knows , what he eats , how many times do we have to hear the same thing

Points raised read and appreciated. I get a lot of joy out of these boards just as they are, and if more people are contributing even better. But if your experiences are that new people and energy to the discussions would not get added, I wouldn't do it either.

Sccitt was hitting my DMs on why he got banned, I told him you guys said he doesn’t contribute to this board he’s just here to post his music and he gets all mad at y’all He wasn’t banned - his account was disabled for 1 or 2 weeks (I can’t remember and I’m not going to check). He rage spammed and got the lockdown. One thing to note for people, a lot of the moderator options aren’t available in the mobile view of the site. For mods to take action, we have to switch to desktop view and scroll/zoom around the site to get to those options - cumbersome and easy to fat finger s**t. I bring this up just to give perspective - if someone is repeatedly disrespecting my time, I’m not gonna give a lot of leeway there. |
