Alright, well it seems that a lot of people have faded away from using the boards any more so I wanted to do something to draw people back to using them again. I have always had the idea of making a website strictly about music that provides articles and reviews. However, I have always wanted the website to be user interactive, so that people can give feedback about the reviews and such. So I came up with the idea to combine the website with the forums.
Right now it still looks a lot more like forums than a website, but as more content gets added to the site, the website part of the pages will start to take up more space and things will start to look like how I had envision them.
I also plan on providing things such as Artists Spotlights, Interviews, News, and Contests. There is going to be a lot of content that wouldn't normally be available if this was still just simply discussion boards. We still need a lot of help though, so if you or any one you know wants to get involved, it would be greatly appreciated. We are going to need people to write articles as much as possible. We are also going to need people to update the calendar with new upcoming shows and events. You wont be able to post your own articles/reviews in the main area of the website unless you are one of the websites writers. However you will still be able to freely discuss whatever you want on the original areas of the boards, as well as post comments on the articles that the staff members write and put up for viewing. Once we have a solid staff formed I plan on creating a page where there are interviews with the people that run the website, so that you can get a little personal feel of the person who is writing the articles that many of you will be reading. We also plan to one day host events of our own, and further expand the website with things such as a website radio, photos and videos.
In addition to all of these new areas of the website, you can also expect to see many new features being added here and there. I have also opened the original discussion boards to viewing for all guests, with the exception of the Vine Trading board and the Members Only discussion board. I think this should draw more people into reading something on here, which in return will get them to want to register as a member and keep coming back.
If any one is interested in joining the crew, all you have to do is send me a personal message explaining what position you would be interested in filling. Come back often to see new updates as we plan on getting a lot of new content up as soon as possible to get things off to a good start.
