Members Poker99 Posted April 26, 2011 Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 Very little action? Just wondering. Bad vibes? Be honest. I don't know... I see us as the YANG of the new music industry bloggers who try to sell the dream in a shiny 2.0 package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vermoulian Posted April 27, 2011 Members Share Posted April 27, 2011 For some reason, after the HC 2.0 debacle, this forum never really returned to its previous level of activity. I believe that coincided with one of BlueStrat's self-imposed bans, but I doubt that was the whole reason. When it comes to the real-world business side of music, I think that, contrary to stereotypes, HC forum members (the regulars, anyway) are really pretty sophisticated. I haven't found better forums for discussing that stuff than HC's Music Biz and Backstage With The Band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scafeets Posted May 4, 2011 Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 The H-C 2.0 debacle is a good theory. I'm sure it has cut into the activity on all the HC forums. I know that I spend a lot more time at TGP and some other sites now. Also, I feel like my experience and perspective as a former major label guy (as artist and exec) was usually dismissed as irrelevant in this forum. So I stop by once in a while to lurk, but I don't feel like I have much to offer in the way dialog -- at least not stuff I haven't already said before.

Members Westorbust7 Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well folks, it's just an internet forum, and yes after HC/Musician's Friend tried to "renovate" things, it largely screwed everything up. Been here before in other incarnations, though I probably won't be back again. I'm not sure how locking threads because they get off topic is all that valuable as well, have you seen the other forums here??? discussion ebb and flow, and so what, people get their feathers ruffled and in the end, is a lot more interesting to read than endless threads on "people are stealing music/how to make a living playing music" over and over again. Get off the computer and play, that's what I'm doing. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members richardmac Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think that for a lot of us, there are times when we want to talk about different things. I've had some questions answered lately in the band area and in the songwriting area. I think it depends on what we are doing currently in our hobby/career.

Members danosongs Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well I am visiting after a year or so and remembered why I stopped coming. While people have been chatting away with worry Ive managed to rank my site on the first page of google for a major high traffic keyword in my niche, made 10 k in licensing fees and gotten my music placed in several hundred indie films, games, corporate presentations and videos. See you in another year folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flatfinger Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 There are some things that don't rate bragging , and yet , braggers can't help but brag ! For instance; Search Engine Optimization ?? .............. How long will that fine accomplishment last ?................. Till Google once again revises their ever changing algorithms ..... The cat and mouse game of attempting to maintain a site on page one of a search without a real groundswell from the consumer can only last as long as you're willing to spend important resources and irreplaceable time on those tireless SEO efforts. It's because that amount of effort alone probably made the $10K worth of income work out to a much less attractive hourly wage that I'll never waste my precious personal time or pay someone for SEO ...... It just doesn't seem to be any more that a push to me and the moment you let up in your efforts all that you built disappears . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
