I need some help
Mnementh:
Mike is installing scoop hopefully this evening, I've got to talk to him about ftp and passwords and then I'll play about with the CSS and then we'll be off!
So, I'm actually excited, and I hope the site takes off as a rather serious venture, because oddly enough, there are very few community driven music sites out there.
I mean, Jeph pointed out to me that hipinion is the closest thing to what I want to try.
Spinless:
Appearance.
I don't know anything about the skinning that you mentioned, but I'll help in anyway I can.
Like Khar, I have my connections.
Obviously, avoid the 'business' look, with cold colours and lots of white space and such. The way you described scoop made it sound almost like a pile of diaries, each written by a different person. So I was thinking the pages could have an 'arts&crafts' look about them, with torn paper edges and things, and for lack of a better word, a 'street' feel to them, like stenciled logos and such. That's another thing, it doesn't need a logo, but it might be fun to try a few.
...obviously the site header will say 'Paid in Cigarettes'.
Thrillho:
I already write for a website as it is, but I'd be curious in dipping in occasionally to write ranty, wanky articles that my editor won't accept (if she'd let me)?
Spinless:
Mnem, already asked this in gabbly but...
How do we stop people from posting crap articles that would isolate us from the cool kids?
Like I said, if we let just anybody post articles all over the place, there's too much to read. I doubt anybody would have the patience to look through everybody's writing.
So, if we approve a dozen heavier contributors adding to the 'main' body of the site, and keep a seperate forum community, that things would be much smoother and accessible.
The more I think about it, the more I doubt that a large number of contributors would work.
I'll put this another way...
Some people have oppinions that nobody wants to read. Do we really want them posted and having people judge us based on them?
Scandanavian War Machine:
but if someone could effectively argue that eminem is in fact a talented rapper even though he sucks as a person and his music is terrible; wouldnt you want to hear that argument? personally, i love hearing peoples opinions that oppose mine. i like to give people the chance to change my mind.
but i do understand worrying about an overload of mostly useless information. i guess you could say i'm on the fence when it comes to this particular argument.
