How come the TV threads on this sire are being closed? It's really a different sort of discussion... the Idolblog ones are more chat-like for each show, whereas that doesn't seem to be happening as much on Throng, as each show has more article-like threads.

I agree that the discussion here are more chat-like!  With a lot of 'Blogs' that have comments after them, there are comments in different places, more that one continuing discussion about each programme..

But it's up to us to chat on the new site, to make that chatty too!  It's only us that can do that! 

If we continue to chat there, hopefully it will make more new people see and want to join in the discussions!    We all need to do that make it a success and also so that we can carry on discussing the programmes we like - and have people to talk about them with!

Am missing the 'reply'  which makes for more of a conversation.  But we didn't used to have that on Idolblog at one time.  I remember when we first were able to reply, everyone was complaining about conversations going on all over the place.  We've just got so used to it now.

Will take time I guess to get used to different ways, but we've managed to do that with Idolblog every time it's changed!Eye-wink

Good point but it'll get there - the same thing happened when we started Idolblog. Once there's a critical mass of people there'll be lots of chat topics about TV shows.

Blimming fantastic website, will have more of a scout around at the weekend when I've caught up on my latest round of videos from when I was away in Christchurch.

I will have to, when at Internet Cafes from now on, make a point of 'pointedly' displaying Idolblog and also throng now. Sticking out tongue

The foreigners at a railway station once, when I was with the Friendship Club, I noticed they were all gathering round my screen.  Big ups Admin and TC.

I must pass on the new website plus Idolblog to my penfriend, plus Ben L's new ones.

Thanks!

Admin, are you trying to get rid of all the TV/Movies threads on Idolblog? Are you also planning to build a new website about Music? Sticking out tongue

admin 25 October, 2006 - 10:39pm

We won't be deleting the TV/Movie threads for a while but any discussions about other TV shows are better suited to Throng Smiling

Haven't thought about a music website - I guess there's NZMusic.com which is pretty well established and wouldn't want to compete with them.

Really? I was a NZMusic regular before I came to Idolblog. I'm sure you can convice those other cool peeps on NZMusic to join another music site. Besides, NZMusic only revolves around the music scene within the country. Your music website would not only attract NZers but also peeps from other countries talking about music from around the world. If only I could make my own music site, I would name it www.kegmusic.com Hehehe

Get out of my car!!

Oh cool! I'll go and join now. I'll try REALLY hard to behave! Are there swear filters? I sure hope so.

EDIT: From what I saw I liked it - definite potential, I'll have to spend more time looking around there in the weekend!

admin 21 October, 2006 - 2:42pm

Only a couple of *really* bad words are filtered out right now. We'll see how it goes it we add more words or not. The difference with Idol is that the swearing is at a person, not a character.

I see Sam's Town now!

I love the layout and the colours! Laughing out loud

Nice site...

Needs to incorporate movies as well, though... TV isn't interesting enough on it's own.

admin 19 October, 2006 - 2:13pm

It does cover movies - check out under "Movies".

DevilDodo 19 October, 2006 - 2:21pm

Ahh, cool, found it...

Maybe it needs a new/different directory system? Doesn't really make sense to have things like "Movies", "TV3", "Ads" and "General" listed under "SHOWS"...

Maybe something under the 'Community' heading listing all the topics or something... for example, is there a place for Off-Topic discussions? I don't see it listed anywhere...

Just some suggestions... Laughing out loud

admin 19 October, 2006 - 2:27pm

Scroll to the bottom of the community page for the Off Topic discussions Smiling
You can see all the topics by clicking on "Forum view" in your options in the sidebar.

Shows is now "Shows / Topics" Smiling

Thanks for the feedback!
