A little OUtta control????

[SWR_n_EB]

hey, ive noticed, that this forum has becomes really packed. i loe to see all the musicians trying to learn as much as possible about thier instruments, but i found that its become a littel swamped... i can no long come back weekly asn easily mangae things. i dunno if ne one notied the same thing, or if neone agrees with me.

dont get me wrong, i love this site, but maybe due to the larger size, maybe cahnge things up? possibly divide the bass section into suber sections. for example "how-to's" "tech help" "bass talk" "up coming shows" "local events" "Anything goes"

i am aware this is easier said than done, but i think that it is plenty capable, and would benfit us so much more. its be much mroe organized, and so much mroe fun.

any one agree? i'd just find it more conviniant to the average forums broswer who comes every so often to aid others and learn thier own thing.

has this idea been going around? i mean, i haven't been ehre for like a month, so im backed up 2 pages worth... so lost..

It's true. You can be gone for a day and find two pages worth of lively threads. Truth is, you just gotta let some of them go... Fly away!

I disagree. I check in every couple days or so - and I can't complain. Take Talkbass.com for example, it's a good site with a lot of great info - but it doesn't have the "atmosphere" the EB forum has. Here people are friendly - over there you'll get your head chewed off in second for something you'd have never guessed would be an argumentive issue. Plus browsing through all of their "categories" is a pain in the a**. When I go there all I do is hit the "New Postings" button and look at all the new postings on one page. In other words, just like it is here on EB....

I think the EB forums are great just the way they are. Simply browsing a posting is not a big deal. I think it would be a lot harder if they seperated into different categories. The way it is now is simply one forum to browse - it's just simple. Sometimes, like when playing the bass, simple is good!

I think the board is perfect the way it is (although, it could use a tap....), splitting it up into catagories would kill it, it's a total pain to peruse a bunch of catagories, when all I want to do, is see whats new, read, respond if needed, and be gone.

i vote no on catagories for EBMM.


keep the board simple and elegant, like a flower in spring....

I vote no categories too. How many times does a thread start out on one idea and then another related idea pops up? If it was categorzied you'd have to repost into the new category too?!? I enjoy it just the way it is. A few friends conversing about Music Man and basses in general. Keep it simple please.

I get that too. To be frank, I hate it when I discover that the world doesn't revolve around me. Shucks... Stop posting when I'm away! Sheesh. Problem solved! It's that simple, guys.

But I cast my vote to keep this board as is. I'm luvin' it!

Post a poll - That way the admins will find out for sure what we want.

Leave it as is;

Oh, Bo; I wish you would have stopped the storm in Dallas, it tore the________ out of things here, just got electricity today.

No catagories. Keep the status quo.
