    Nah i wouldnt block Lurkers .... new faces always spend time just reading stuff until they pick up the courage to post stuff. The problem with a board being quiet is that people become even LESS inclined to post things for fear of it 'sticking out'.

    I wouldnt be surprised if theres people been reading this for years regularly without even registering.

    The moment this forum became its own 'island' on the internet (after the promise name split) , then it was mainly just about the existing users who have been here for years (and come and go).

    Forums are the thing that i spend probably 90% of my time on the internet on, and the most successful ones i find are the ones that have a means of constantly supplying fresh faces or content or are being advertised everywhere.

    I guess its a case of if you just TAKE from the board and dont give anything back, it will just get smaller, which is a shame really since theres no shortage of people who go out, get bolloxed, or listen to dance music and want to talk about it or chew the cud with like minded people.

    Just got Anth (WorldonFire) who's doing warp to get the web adress on the artwork as well.

    Hopefully after a while with a few heads promoting it, it should spur a Renaissance (in theory)

    Definitely a good little idea :up:

    I'll request the forum address at the bottom of flyers for future gigs I play at.

    It's a shame the podcast group didnt get that popular like - would it be a step too far to create a Nucastle members group on Fb?

    If we're going to go down the "advertised on flyers" route, it would be great if we could give more back to the promoters doing so, like some free publicity on the podcast?

    I'd be quite happy to stick up "special episodes" of the podcast where we have an hour (or 2 hours) from the residents of a night in order to promote one of their upcoming events?

    They get some free attention, the regulars on here get some free mixes, it would work :up:

    Its a perfect idea ... if anything the podcast is the perfect way to have a 'neutral' territory to promote themselves (if thats what they want to do) on, but also it benefits the board as well.

    Symbiosis!

    is it not possible to get the podcast aired on any of the internet radio stations like Di FM?

    thats surely not local but still massive exposure.

    Do you feel like you've finally won because you have a little bit of power on an internet message board that no one hardly comes to?

    Do you feel that after so many years of being a bully victim, you can finally assert some authority and make others feel like the victim, although being a victim of not having caps is not the same as being a bitch who got reamed every night after P.E.

    but ho hum...enjoy ruining this board...each to their own all that.

    Who ever suggested a 'Nucastle Podcast Party' a while back was a crackin idea... Theres some brilliant local DJ's out there who dont really get a sniff, but there mixes are always shit hot when I've listened to them (Laverty, Nicky, Granty, Luke, MKX loads more I cant be fk'd to list them). The thought of all the lads/ladette's teaming up for one night of madness irrespective of musical genre (I think) would work massivley! (depending on how much of a chin stroker you are of course). A chance for all walks of life, from all different circles to meet for a few one off events?

    Securing a Venue wouldn't be rocket science & with all different Nights/Brands/DJ's hopefully involved the promotion would be a doddle. Advertise the night solely through the forum name (but credit nights that chose to be involved with their respective logo's). Theres enough people on here that could pull together & quite effortlessly make this happen: Sound Techs, DJ's, Lighting guys, Promo folk. Making sure it didn't clash or fuck any other nights over in the process I think it would go down a storm.

    Food for thought maybe...
