Who's not in a band here?

[Pierce Brosnan]

We need some supporters on this board.  It seems like everyone who uses this board is in a band.  That's not a bad thing, because that's who I made this site for anyways.  It's a site for local heavy musicians.  A site to expose their music to others.  All we're doing now is exposing it to other bands.  There's some support going on between the bands.  It would be even cooler if the bands fans would support the other bands on this site.

Here's what I'm talking about.  Skwirl, Herod and Downcast.  These are the top three in this months poll.
I see the members of Skwirl on this board, and I think I might see Downcast on here once in a while.  I've never seen Herod on here yet.  So Skwirl gets about 50 or so people to come to this site everyday to vote.  Same with the other guys.  They've got people coming to the site.  But here's the thing.  They type in localmetal.com, scroll down to the voting box, click on their favorite band, and vote.  After that, they probably go directly to another site.  Which means that they're not checking out anything else on the site, like the band list, or radio stations, or message board.  The message board is the main place to inform people.

*Get your fans to register with a user name.
Get them to use the message board.  Tell them to check out the other bands.  Get them to say good things about the other bands.  

This kind of shit is like playing a set with 50 of your fans watching you, and then you leave and take your fans with you, leaving the band after you with nobody.

We've got to help each other out.

I hope everyone knows what I'm talking about.

eat shit and die asshole!!!!!

Now there was no need for that. But whatever floats your boat bro.

Ive gotten a few fans on this message board. People dont seem to like message boards all that much, except for people in bands. When i send things out for people to vote for us, i always say check out some of the bands on the site and to sign the message board. just look at my site. It will take sum time for the site to start getting alotta people. Just look at WNYmusic. How long has been up now? a few years.

"eat shit and die asshole!!!!!", No name

This is the kind of shit I've got to put up with.   So, I'm a little harsh when I'm trying to get my point across to people.  But overall what I'm doing is a good thing.
I appreciate everything the supporters of this site have done for me.  People are finding out about the other bands.  I just wish they would go a little further.  Click on the bands link.  Go to their page, check out their songs.  Report back to the board and give a review.
Or just say something, anything.  "I listened to their music, and it was pretty good".  "Their page is set up real nice".  Shit like that.  I'm just real fired up about getting feedback and support for the bands.  I'm not trying to piss anyone off.
