If a friendship farm shuts down and nobody is there to see it? Is it really gone?

Fact: While I do read the blog, I spend a lot more time reading stuff on the message board. The shutting down of the message board will directly affect how often I visit Donewaiting. I will still check it out, but probably not daily anymore. I think the same could be said for a lot of people. So it seems to me like this is going to end up decreasing traffic in the long run. But, to each their own.

I'm more of a skimmer myself. If I can't, within 3 seconds, ingest the entirety of something then I move on.

Whoops, out of ti...

I for one will miss this venue, not just for the suprisingly vicious attacks on people and their bands but to find out what is going on. As a semi-retired (or is that retarded) scenster with a large amount of reasons to finally be somewhat responsable I still want to know what people are thinking, interests and how they networkd. I don't do twitter, like facebook but only as a personal endeavor and have never been able to navigate the Cringe site, I will miss this.

Liek a few others I peruse it daily, and think that if fills a vital cog in our little burg. I would hope (while I send out a big thank you to Robert and staff) that they would keep it up and running. I mean I just figured out how to use a printer.
-cheerios,
Bela

AS AN ADDED BONUS, you can even have the domain I was going to use to build a show listing app: rockcolumb.us

in all seriousness i'm sad to see this place go. i've met a ton of good peeps, forged a handful of solid friendships and learned a lot about columbus music from being part of this community and for that i am forever indebted.

a sincere thank you to everyone involved

I kinda feel like 'you peruse, you lose'. It takes more than that. People aren't adding content, there's no music discussion, and now it's like shopping at westland mall. The message board is made good by people posting, and look around- it's just not happening. Staff populates the blog, everyone else makes the board go. There's been more posts from regulars in this thread than there's been on here in months.

maybe things could just be scaled back. We don't need 77 forums, but maybe a music, hype, and, not music forum? Shit, I use the hype forum for a lot of my local music stuff at CD101.



If you send me the playlists, I will post them.


Totally appreciated and I will take you up on that, but what I meant was more that I use the Hype forum when putting together Frontstage and Independent Playground and it's an easy spot for me to check out who's bands are active and who isn't. I appeciate that it's been a bit of a ghost town. Shit, I can't even get my Overlooked in Ohio article together, so I'm the last person who should complain about this. Still, it seems like this message board is a sort of community hub and I'm sad to see it go.

The reason I haven't been very active here lately is because I've just been too busy at work (which is where I was most of the time while posting here). At any rate, I am glad I checked the page today.

Turn the whole thing over to TJ and Kirk.

seriously though, if no one wants to rev up a new "local musicians and the fuckwads that love them" board or even resurrect CMO then we should at least bum-rush another board and take it over. manifest destiny and all that. columbusunderground doesn't have enough scumbags.

i bet we could take over HDcolumbus's message boards with our lowbrow humor . . .
