LOL I had completely forgotten about the other thread. I was going to give them a suggestion - which is to start archiving early on. If we'd started the archive on day one, it'd have been so much easier for you and we'd not be missing a thread in the archives.
I'd even give 'em their own section on the FNGT site to do so, if they wanted. They'd have to keep it separate, but I'd let 'em archive it there.
That they didn't have a thread this week is telling. It's a lot of work to do these every week. It takes heart, commitment, and strong desire to do this consistently. Those are things people think they have but often don't. It's unfortunate that they didn't follow through.
As for preview Voat finally dying - yup. Thanks for the heads up. I just looked and it's throwing a CF error.
Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme
Seriously... If they're gonna start an FNGT, they should immediately start an archive. It stops the loss of good tunes and provides a reference for what has already been covered.
I should start charging people that want to use the FNGT moniker - like a motherfucking franchise!
They're still trying to figure out how, and if, they want to build a site. That alone takes all the qualities you mentioned and then a subset has to have them for sharing their music.
These sites attract a certain segment of people and then they need to separate the daily commentary from the musical part of their lives to an extent. It's a delicate balance, if you go for a bigger more "mainstream" site you get more interest but that starts to attract commercial interests. You lose the community connections and the honesty of the music.
