Break Board into Sub Groups Please!
BOO! HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
I can never understand this request - it is the one guaranteed way to turn a forum from a vibrant place with loads of discussion into a sterile wastland where nobody posts more than 3 times
I tried a program recently where the forum had about 50 sub categories and they were all about the same thing, and I had no idea where to post and it was a total fucking mess
stick around for more than 5 minutes and you'll discover the system on this forum is SO much more effective that people actually come here to ask about different programs because they know they'll get a reply
shheeeesh - i think I'm going to campaign for a sticky "THE ABLETON FORUM WILL NEVER BE BROKEN DOWN INTO MORE CATEGORIES!"
divide and conquer
although I would like to see a rack sharing forum, but even there the sticky in tips/tricks handles that pretty well

As an owner of the Live Suite, I would like 16 boards if I need help with a specific ... but would almost certainly NOT read 16 boards in terms of answering other users questions, etc. So i think it would probably be self-defeating.
Perhaps a better Search function would help?
One thing I would quite like is an OT section for all the political discussion, general chit chat about music and life, etc. Splitting that out would make the Live-related user forum more focussed I think.
Also I like the idea of having a seperate forum for spam. Obviously discussed at length elsewhere, but PLEASE can we get rid of that stuff out of the main forum?!

the thing so many of you dont seem to be getting is that stuff = engagement with the other people posting here as a kind of community - that is what makes it workheadquest wrote: One thing I would quite like is an OT section for all the political discussion, general chit chat about music and life, etc. Splitting that out would make the Live-related user forum more focussed I think.
and that is the same reason the sterile split up other forums dont work
when it is a forum populated with real people who talk about the same real shit they talk about with people in their real lives, then it becomes a community and so people engage with it and invest their time and energy into it
they solved the spam issue - the poor buggers are now manually going through every registration request one by oneheadquest wrote: Also I like the idea of having a seperate forum for spam. Obviously discussed at length elsewhere, but PLEASE can we get rid of that stuff out of the main forum?!
Oh I agree - I would spend lots of time in the OT sectionforge wrote: the thing so many of you dont seem to be getting is that stuff = engagement with the other people posting here as a kind of community - that is what makes it work
Excellent news. I kinda spent a lot less time here recently because I was sick of it, so I didn't know that the problem was solved. Coolthey solved the spam issue - the poor buggers are now manually going through every registration request one by one

I dunno, i think it might be good if there was a couple additional sections
"URGENT: Waaaaahmbulance Needed" where posts could be migrated into this appropriately
and
"Suggestions to Improve Forum" section, which in turn would be divided into two sections "Moderator y/n?", "Issues with Seach" and "Other Issues".

UTENZIL a tool... of the muse.
a search for your sig brings up 1 thread: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ell+stairsb0unce wrote:you're already in the OT section, bill clinton was a right old cunt y'know.
I liked Hatchetts McGee -the name made me laugh
BTW I couldnt find the quote - where does it come from?
Perhaps the current forum list could be improved upon... For example:
Announcements
* Announcements
Live
* General discussion and Feature Wishlist
* Live Instruments
* Tips & Tricks
* Bugs & Problems
* Live 7 Beta Testing
* Live 7 Beta Testing - Done tasks
Users
* Off Topic
* Link your Music
* Local
Hmmm... discuss! I bet there are loads of ways this could be tweaked, with lots of for/against arguments
