Wow, now that's a refreshing perspective! IDON MINE said:
Goshdarn, I love this place!
I hate the look of ancient internet formus (NOT speaking of the old GP forums - I've never been there...YIKES!) and also crap like Myspace, (sorrysorrySORRY!) or Facebook.
I'd love to see the many GP bands that are on Myspace come here and use this. Because the Hideout just rings me up as something different than most a those sites and a crazy good amalgam of all things the internet can serve as.
It took me a while myself to get in on it but it's just a lot of fun. And yes that's a reason for me to stick around.
I love the "social network" frame on here to view pics, video and music directly by the bands or DJ's or dancers or whoever. As well as a tie in to all the other things people got going. Tourdates, trading, new records, podcasts of course... bring it on! The whole thing's working fine for me - and just for the record: All the different groups do too!
Like many on this thread here said: Use the blues or loose the blues ;) Not that I have been to busy here either...BLEH!
