Edmund Posted 27 May 2009 Share Posted 27 May 2009 Does posting youtube videos have an effect? Ive stopped posting as many as I used to in recent weeks. I only do because other people do and no one seems to have mentioned it but if it is causing a problem I shall cease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted 27 May 2009 Share Posted 27 May 2009 HERO. I fucking hate that thread. Who reads it? If you actually go in there, read each post in turn and actually take an interest then you're a fucking dullard Samilktray no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 27 May 2009 Author Share Posted 27 May 2009 Would likely cost a bit to set up so I can't see it happening - and would likely take up bandwidth.I don't have a problem with the Listening Now? thread. It's frequently rubbish but it sparks the odd conversation. At the end of the day if you don't like it, don't read it? fair enough - i wasn't trying to be a nazi, it just seemed to be excessively large compared to the amount of people who actually use it my avatar suggestion was just another field below 'where are you from', which i figure wouldn't cost anything - althoug a live link to gracenote or something would truly be sexy....

Flynny Posted 27 May 2009 Share Posted 27 May 2009 I genuinely reckon getting rid of it would mean people are more likely to start threads like "I'm just listening to X I forgot how great it is". And thus more discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoWW Posted 27 May 2009 Share Posted 27 May 2009 I like it - perhaps I'm just nosey?! I genuinely find it interesting seeing what other people are listening to. It'll often remind me of something I've not heard for ages and I'll then go and 'rediscover' it again. If that makes me dull, so be it - I'm not gonna disagree. Radical thought - if you don't like reading it, then don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted 28 May 2009 Share Posted 28 May 2009 Erm... don't read it? Yes, I am the main offender for that thread, and I genuinely see nothing wrong with it. I've got some good heads up on music in the past from there, it's not totally useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexikokopops Posted 28 May 2009 Share Posted 28 May 2009 Erm... don't read it? I don't read it. it doesn't mean that I can't have an opinion on it. I don't read the Daily Mail, am I not allowed an opinion on that? I don't watch the monumental guff that is Eastenders, can I not have an opinion on that? The point is even more moot when you realise that Valerenga started it through concern about the bandwith, with an alternative suggestion. Me not reading that thread isn't going to alter the amount of bandwith it uses because I don't bloody go in there anyway. This isn't aimed just at you Joe, you're just the latest to say "don't read it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 28 May 2009 Share Posted 28 May 2009 Shame to see it has gone - not because of my own amount of posts in there, but mostly it did indeed give me some good hints as to what new/old music to check out.

And yes, if you're not interested, why bother discussing a thread that doesn't interest you? I am interested. I have a vested interest in disliking it. Are you honestly saying that you don't ever talk about anything you don't like? Don't get me started on the billions of other threads like "How was your day?", "What colour socks are you wearing?" and "What are you typing right now?". Grrrr.
