Guest dam10n Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Peeps, Just having a usual stroll thru the topics and noticing that one about CD covers, got me thinking that a lot of stuff here ends up repeating itself. Nothing wrong with that, as new people come by all the time and the topics and questions are only old to those of us here every day. So do we need an FAQ? To include stuff like, where to get cd covers, why not to bang on about mp3's here, why the hallucinogen live album never came out, etc... I think it would increase the signal to noise ratio here (which admittedly is already a lot lower than most of the web IMO.) Maybe it could even lead to an end of the minimal vs. full on debate as well... maybe that's dreaming.. .well what do we think? ~ Damion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Nice to see somebody else thinking about it. I've been posting about this repeatedly for months, nobody seemed to react so far... Maybe it'll be included in the new site version still in development. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lurk Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 i reckon there should be one of those too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I'll help write it, if Children/Mars host it and put a link up. Shouldn't be too hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dam10n Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 maybe we all come up with a list of questions or something, then work on answering them... duh that was a totally very obvious and stupid thing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest huh? Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 no man...its a great idea...lets start thinking of a list of questions and im shure children and mars would not have any problem to include them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dam10n Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 perhaps we can include something about the minimal vs full on thing, that sh1t's getting boring. o for a forum with none o' that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Ok, I'll start the ball rolling (uh...actually, since I'm heading off to Thailand for two weeks in a few days, there might be a big intermission, but as soon as I get back, I'll continue working on it). To prevent a big flame war on the forum about what should be in the FAQ, could you guys send me some questions to put in the list? I think, like most FAQs, it should have two parts: actual frequently asked questions (What is full-on, what is minimal, etc.) and then some basic advice/pointers (for example, why starting discussions about minimal vs. full-on is a bad idea). So far I'm thinking: Genre definitions (with plenty of caveats about why not to get sucked into/stuck on genres) Who sounds like who Whether certain rumoured tracks exist (I can work on any Posford related stuff, I'll need help with other bits) Bom Shankar Anyway, if you have any SERIOUS suggestions of stuff to put into the FAQ (no rants, please), mail them to me at bug@bugbread.com. Thanks. I also have www.bugbread.com sitting around empty, so as I start to work on the FAQ I'll upload it there so you can see it in progress, make suggestions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPosture Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Nice initiative Bugbread.... We've talked about making a FAQ since I started frequenting this page in early '00, so I think we should finally get of our asses and do something about it.... Acutally, I think that Anoebis might have written a FAQ already, but it never got posted... You should check with him [anoebis@goatrance.com] before starting to write... What does Bom shankar means? (Seriously, that question have been posted here more than 20 times.... Time for a FAQ! *s* ) That's it! DeathPosture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Maybe not in the FAQ section, but anyway : something you see on the Music Making forum every week : "what gears do I need to start making Psytrance ?" OK, perhaps rather difficult to find a consensus on it, with reference equipment often changing, but I'm sure there's something to do in this direction. J.

Guest bugbread Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I've got a short short list of topics up...check out what's there and keep making suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Additional note: for judgement calls (i.e. the official position on English versus non-English), I'll be asking mars and children, and, ideally, them only, because it's their site and they make the rules : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
