Further tatysite.net forum development

[forre]

As I said before we don't seem to have a lot of debates or interest generally in politics here and to widen up the whole forum streaching over all possible subjects will make this forum as anything else. Russian music in Rnglish? That's the good idea. I'm all for it.

forre, we're not just talking about the politics forum. Look at the big picture - if we do change the theme of the site to Russian music, there will be more visitors (as more people are interested in Russian music then those who are interested in Tatu); more visitors will mean we'll have a greater diversity of opinions, view points, interests, characters... etc etc. So we'll naturally need more forums to discuss it in.

But as I said, even changing the theme of the forum is a long shot. We still need a new domain name, since the "tatu" part will scare people away - not everyone in the world likes them. Lol.

I really don't want people who would be 'scared away' by t.A.T.u. to be coming here.

Tom Violence, what's not to be scared away by? Bad music? Fake image? There's virtually nothing to like about Tatu nowadays, anyway.

As I said, it's getting stuffy on TatySite.net, we need to open up the doors for new people, with different opinions.

[Tom Violence]

If you find nothing to like about t.A.T.u. at present, fine. Yours might be a widely held opinion, but it can hardly be presented as fact. Not that I'm interested in discussing t.A.T.u.'s current state here and now.

The question at the moment is whether this forum needs new people or not. I don't agree that it does. Certainly in life it's great to meet a variety of people, but this is an internet messageboard and therefore somewhat different. On a messageboard when people disagree about subjects close to them, it rarely resolves itself into interested, polite discussion. As I should imagine you're more than aware.

I'd rather retain the atmosphrere we have now. It may be quiet, but we have a great, supportive group of people. And I still believe the place will become busier again when t.A.T.u. eventually become active again. I'm prepared to wait.

exactly
Like I said in my previous post: I came here because of my interest for tatu. And I got to know people because of tatu. I don't mind discussions about other topics, groups whatever..
I basicly don't really have the same interest in other russian groups, but I don't mind that other members has an interest in the other groups. It's music either way.
To make the main subject at the forum to be some whole new thing is where I don't really share the interest.I don't post in that many other threads that isn't about something about tatu or the members around here. I know that if new members has interest in eg. politics I won't get to know them.
