[QUOTE="djperkins, post: 845058, member: 17130"] This is the thing...no-one is posting cos it just doesn't fit into yer general family grown up life, whether it's deemed childish or family commitments that keep people away from hanging on the forum the social side of chatting and posting is thin to say the least, infact over on PR (not to be confused with RP :thumbsup:) they're streamlining the site to get rid of the shout box and forums, prob thru lack of use...maybe using FB as the shouty is the way forward for getting more "ambient listeners" to lock in for a while at least, I'm just not into playing to 1 or 2 people in the week and then a que of everyone trying to get a slot on the weekend when listening figures go up...fair doo's tho, on the occaisions that the OSA old boys lock in, we have a great time...partic with mix ID's and the like...but without that kind of stimulation and enthusiasm is there any point to live dj's in the week? If no-one is about to even just throw in a random \o/ or CHOOOON...it's like playing to your leg...Maybe if Live slots were allocated from 7 - late...Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun...there would always be a full schedule and thus encourage peeps who want live music, partic the blend of Italo/hiphouse/Chicago and UK stuff that we specialize in over here...That would then free up the auto dj to play the members mixes which are more a blend of all things old school. It's too watered down all mixed up together and, me included in this, there are NO regular slots...the only members that play when they say they're gonna are...Sam, Greg and J1990, I nearly always play on the eve that I'm down for but tend to pick a time that works best with listeners...over on RP or PR, if you ain't there...tough, the slot gets munched up by any number of enthusiastic dj's waiting for a bash...yes, a relaxed attitude is great, and takes the pressure off any performance but it just doesn't make for good, live radio to the standard that people expect when they are giving up their personal time for us. If we had 2 nights of 1st gen dj's, Popular "club" themed sessions from people, then maybe it would bring back the exclusivity of OSA and free up the rest of the airtime for everyone else, it would also establish a "plan of action" and set a standard for everyone to follow...I wasn't up for going to any old club when I was jumpin'...it had to be the best...and I don't see that it should be any different nowadays, for me anyways.
