Chondritic Sound forum weirdness?

[ARKHE]

Yes, an Announcement section would definitely improve this forum. Keeping it clean with only new releases will also keep it interesting - consulting threads for selling music second hand sullies the experience of freshness with new releases... No discussion, only advertisement. No need for junkyard either then.

The guilty ones are doing no one any favours, least of all their friend who just put out a shitty release and won't be able to improve as long as they keep kissing his ass. Troniks is/was rife with that bullshit.

I agree I can't stand that shit. Many one words posts saluting bullshit.

I think the idea for a new section is a good one indeed (and I just see a new one is going to be made). While I myself don't take much part in discussions, because I'm still quite new to noise and power electronics, I really think some of the discussions are very interesting!
Apart from all that, I really like this board, this is really one of the few, if not the only one, where there are no trolls at all and where any discussion can be serious for more than 10 posts (even for several pages, try to imagine that on most metal boards for example)!

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Done. And also see updated "guides" of the sections. I will write one for announcements too.
Also increased topics-per-page count from 20 to 30, so takes more message before it drops to page 2. When I have time, I will start moving topics.

apparently the same thing happened last year, so I suppose it may be back online in the near future

It's back up  :(

[Travis Johnson]

While I don't disagree with the criticisms of the Troniks forum, I like the place for most of those very reasons. It's quite colorful and entertaining!
A more heavily moderated forum with a greater emphasis on actual discussion than on self-promotion, jokes and random images is also quite welcome, of course, and I hope that Special Interests will continue to stand in contrast to Troniks/Chondritic.

I am still getting the same message....did the address change?

[Andrew McIntosh]

Same here. If the address has moved I haven't been able to find it.

Can't help but wonder if this is Greh just sloughing off any responsibility to the Noise scene once and for all. The criticism towards him was arking up again lately and the cynic in me suggests that he just decided to let the term lapse and be done with it. Surely it must have crossed his mind to think "fuck it, if that's how they feel let 'em do without me".

Refresh your browser maybe? It's there and active.

[Violent Noise Atrocities]

not working here.

[Andrew McIntosh]

Same here, despite browser refreshes and searches; not the forum or the ohter Chondritic Sound sites. No idea what's going on but I believe those who say that it's up and I'll wait and see.

[Gape Arson]

Different DNS' are still refreshing. http://www.chondriticsound.com/forum/ should work.
A lot of people seem really surprised about the registration lapsing... it's happened almost every year since the forum was created. I think the difference now is that there are now multiple places where people can discuss what happened to it.

Re: trolls... I had to ban one person who came to chat after it was linked on here for trolling, someone who I know is a user of this forum. This is the first person I had to kick/ban since early October. As bad as Noise Fanatics is most of the time (at least in the troll heavy forums), it's undeniable that certain forums like DIY and Gear really are melting pots with people coming from different backgrounds to share information.

Not working here. All I get is "The domain "chondriticsound.com" is parked with DomainsNext.com."
