Its understandable because of a clubs location etcbut how do you open up another nightlife website/forums and expect it to be something greater than what its trying to replace?Angie and Mary is still Mary. its not going to give birth to a litter of 500 fresh new clubbers that will energize the boardsplease help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest myles hie Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 A few things imo..Brand awarenessStaffFundingNo one is "giving birth" to new users, but you need a staff, with funding to create brand awareness with an already existing market. Better or worse is a subjective thing to the creater and consumers of these sites, so you find what people like, give them more of that but always keeping your eye on luring in n00bs with new, fresh content while not aleinating you current consumers. Bit of a balancing act, unless you find your golden goose and are able to do one thing consistantly and not have to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest musicalmissionary Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 but how do you open up another nightlife website/forums and expect it to be something greater than what its trying to replace?It's not that hard to figure out. In theory... a new website could offer a more appealing interface with more appealing functionality and better content. Just as a new club can open with a better location and better staff and better layout and better music programming and better promotions.

Guest dancefloored Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 back off bootstah!$%#&yes tru, but when a site isnt too appealing to the eye and navigating isnt as simple as what Im used to, you can call it quits for me and for many others I knowimo miami nightlife forums has seen its time I'll be right here though til the door closes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest myles hie Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Am i the only one that was confused reading that?Thinly veiled attempt to stir the pot maybe?Or maybe he was curious is to how 1 site could be better than another site when using the same topic (nightlife and events in SoFl)?

I was just pointing out HOW a new website could POSSIBLY be better than another one covering the same topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is totally not the case. The other site was already running before all this went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oni1414777741 Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Here's another question to ponder.....why am i on three different nightlife forums? Well because i take something different from each one. Oh yeah and citing visual and programming aspects of a site in the Alpha stage as a deterrent doesn't really say much about your understanding of how these things work OR your patience/intelligence.Just sayin.

Guest ICON Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Here's another question to ponder.....why am i on three different nightlife forums?

Oh yeah and citing visual and programming aspects of a site in the Alpha stage as a deterrent doesn't really say much about your understanding of how these things work OR your patience/intelligence.Just sayin.Alpha LOL - dude, it is a standard phpBB script.Anyways - My take on the whole thing... The negative shitslinging and shit talking about CJ, Track, and CP on that "Alpha" site are enough to keep me away from it... not to mention, I simply dont like their forum software. It isnt friendly with Internet Explorer, and when asked about it, they all told me I was an idiot for using Internet Explorer... Wish the Alpha Group the best..

Guest ICON Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 absolutely because i dont work, or have never worked for either company. the alpha's sound like a bunch of grumpy old baseball players that were just sent down to the minor leagues and have nothing good to say about their own actions, so they talk shit about their old team.

Guest coach Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 Dude get over yourself already. Sheesh.Yeah, I'd have to go with that.Icon, weren't you just telling me to not take nightlife messageboards so seriously in another thread?The funny thing is, in that thread, I was actually trying to offer constructive suggestions to the CJ management. In this thread, you're just bitching. Now, who is the grumpy old man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest myles hie Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 no. not even close. Your right, the Alpha's were the jocks.The Tri Lam's were the nerds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ICON Posted December 20 Report Share Posted December 20 First, people like you, Dade, and several others are on here talking shit about it being the end of CJ... how out of touch CJ is.. bla bla bla.. when the staff of this site comes on here asking questions, etc - you guys attack him with stupid ass nonsense.Next, when you go on the Alpha board, the whole board seems to be talking shit about THIS SITE. It's time to fucking move on. It's over. I simply laughed because I think it is funny that they are still calling it "alpha".. and I dont like phpBB forum software. Im not saying anything negative about any person involved with that site. Like I said, I wish them the best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed out of that conversation on both boards. The only comments I made were about the POD situation and how I felt it was wrong to fire a guy at Christmas......and about conflicts of interest. I have not forcasted the demise or success of anything nor have I indicated any preference for either site.Don't put words in my mouth.
