Now we have the track of the month and that is a superb idea !
I think it would be much better to take some interviews maybe of the most active and best producers. (1 interview / 3 weeks or something )
I had the same idea for the dj's who post dj-sets on this board .

Hmm, good idea.
Maybe we can 'elect' the dj's/producers by a voting poll, or by his/her exceptionally outstanding recent work.
This way we can get to know who's who in more detail, and moreover, everybody gets some general/detailed background info about the dj/producer. I think it's quite fair that the interviewed dj/producer has a full opportunity in which he/her can fully explain the why's/how's/when's of their creativity.

There are only a few sets uploaded every month so it's a bit useless to vote a set of the month imo...
and seeing how little response the poor DJs get on their mixes, being downloaded hundreds of times and getting 3 responses if they're lucky 
I guess we won't get many people to vote either...
It's a sad thing but I guess people are just interested in downloading them and putting them on CDs and forgetting to give some response after they've listened...
Maybe I can put an annoying robot voice at the end of every mix repeating the text 'write a review!' 20 times
I like the ideas of interviews and background info though
Have been running some threads about it already but haven't got the time yet to make them yet.
Who wants to do interviews??

not a fan of 'sets of the month' kinda thingies...but than again, i'm not a fan of polls alltogether so
however, about the interviews: i got lot's of them on my harddrive, cause i edit all dnb-interviews for radio scorpio. I still got: tali, die, clipz, tech itch, chris su, fierce, friction...also system-d, gamorah, crossfire, juice blenders, working crash hero, dcon etc etc.
Their all in mp3, and you can put them up if you want. I can keep it updated to, cause new ones are coming already next week 
however: language depents on artist, so english but also dutch and french. btw: interviewer...sometimes asks kinda stupid questions
But hey, he drives all around the country to get them.

Is it technically manageable to be able only to download a mixset when a review is written?
Seems a bit on the dictatorial side, but those mixsets/tracks are posted here, not only because of the free webspace, but mainly to let oneself be heard amongst the others, and, indeed, to find out what other people think about it. So in that view people should be more or less obliged to give some feedback.
When it comes to interviews: i'd like to do some! 
I have experience with it (Rif Raf, Radio Centraal, chief-editor of Freepulp (gotham evil nerds, they still owe me money 
) And i'd be much interested in interviewing all the producers from this board.
I can also help with translating, if necessary.
Let's get it on, shall we?

one pietsie problem... you can't write a review before you download something, cause you have to hear it first
unless someone can make a 'this mix will self-destruct in 2 days if you don't write a review' option, would be cool too of course
bout the interviews, cool if someone like you would like too do it, cause ours is ...kind of a morron

If we would have like 20 DJ sets posted every month this would be a cool thing to have, but at the current rate it's useless. I can make ratings for the DJ sets though...
Having too many sets online at the same time is not desirable though because they tend to slow down the server. If a couple dozen would be downloaded at the same time the forum would become really slow. It's not that the server can't handle it, but the max data transfer is capped at around 400kb/s and there would be only a few kb/s left for transferring the text pages.
I'm even thinking of only keeping the really good ones and dumping the bad ones or ones made by inactive members. IMO the free space should be a reward for active members who make great mixes

That would be really great!!
I'll ofcourse give credit to you and radio scorpio. I can indicate the language so people don't download something they don't understand.
Can you put them on the FTP? I'll send you a PM with the FTP details.

I've been thinking for some time on how to tackle this, mainly for the tracks but also for the mixes.
The problem is that people need to be logged in to be able to track their download behaviour. If they are not logged in you can only check the IP address but this changes often, so it's not reliable.
What I can do:
- for people that are not logged in: only allow a maximum of 2 or 3 downloads for a given IP address every 24 hours. They'll need to log in to be able to download more. This will probably attract more people to registering but will annoy the registered members who are not logged in yet.
- I can make a database of the downloads that logged in members do and eg send them a PM if they download 10 tracks without reviewing, or disable downloading for 24 hours unless they make a review. This will ofcourse cause more people to write crap short bigup reviews...

I think that registered users who (will) frequently download tracks, are not so much harassed by this. Loggin in is quite easy. Long live cookies.

Make that 24 days...
. You're right on the issue of short crappy reviews, but on the otherhand, if this forum can present itself as an interactive forum that holds certain norms/rules, i hope people can respect that, although i may be very naive on this.. I have the impression that this forum is still cosy 'n stuff, so most of the downloaders here more or less know what this site is all about. But off course, the more newly registered users there will be, the vaguer the interactivity will be. But up to now, it all seems quite safe.

A question for chronic 
, what is the situation with the dj sets, are you able to do a mix of anything ( DnB of course ) but like oldschool type stuff, or has it all got to be up to date tunes kinda thing???
Apologies for going off the subject by btw, i do think interviews would be a cool thing, and as 4 the no replies/reviews situation could'nt you have a pop-up box appear showing the names of the people who have downloaded the track/mix, thats how it's done on another forum i post at, and it seems to work there??

I've always thought that people should be registered (and logged in offcourse) in order to be able to download them samplepacks.
As for the interviews: would be nice indeed. Start with making a list of questions you could ask (other that how old are you, blahblah 
)

Yeah maybe you're right, definitely if I put a login box in the listen page

Now if you have time
I'm up for an interview with B-Complex too, all I know is that he's a guy from Slovakia who is 20 years old
But you can chose whoever you like to interview, would be cool if you could do live interviews with international DJs/producers at parties. Try getting hold of a picture to put next to the interview too

Ok. If i go to parties, i'll ask the organisation to fix me some time with the stars!! And no, i won't accept vinyl/agenda's/pillow's/underwear to get a signature...
But concerning interviews of dj's/producers from this board, how will we manage that?
Producers who win the monthly award? Seems fine to me.
How about the dj's? Polls? Ratings? etc,...
