    What is spinning?

    Say, I have a great idea. Why don't we all create a new thread that says "What is spinning". If enough of us create our own new thread, I mean like 50 of them, the original by Bernd will finally disappear from the first page and we won't have to see a kibillion pages of replies telling us what they are listening to at the moment.

    Who's with me? (sigh)

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    I didn't want you to respond! I wanted you to start your own "What is spinning" thread, along with about a bazillion other Rave Rec'ers

    Oh, you knew that and were just busying my balls.

    A bazillion other Rave Rec'ers? A BAZILLION? Geez, are there even a dozen people here any more?

    As for what's spinning...lot's of stuff. I had a four hour drive yesterday with my iPod on shuffle. Four hours covered 48 songs. Somehow, I thought that I would get through more songs in that time. Although, some of them were prog, I guess that would skew the average length per song.

    Okay, I'll bite. What's spinning? "American Idiot" by Green Day, on a flat, black slab of plastic. I love LPs. CDs just don't do it for me. But, AI is a masterpiece in my opinion, whether on CD or LP.

    What are you trying to achieve here? I'm kinda confused. Like some sort of a personal spinnography? So you can look at someones' musical taste and maybe ask some ideas or whatever?

    Hmmmm that wouldnt be too bad, but our boss Eric doesnt usually responde to much suggestions.

    Also, if you have like 0ver 100+ whats spinning deally, that'll be kinda pain in the ass wouldn't it?

    ...take me too seriously. Bernd's original "What's Spinning" post was about as mundane as it gets. Not that it was a bad idea, but he was just asking an innocent question to which it seems nobody can stop replying. I've seen some really interesting threads in the 6+ years I've been visiting here and never saw one get more than a thousand or so hits, tops. And Bernd's gets over 11 thou? It's insane and time to put it our to pasture. My plea is to move and and let it die. Does it matter in the long run? No, but for cryin' out loud people, can we just move on please?

    This will probably have the opposite effect, and I'll probably have to be institutionalized if I have to see it near the top of the opening page every day for the foreseeable future.

    Take some deep breath and have a lie down.

    You are of course correct it was just a very simple (mundane) question. I must say I have picked up some great new tunes through that thread. Is it showing its age? I am not sure. I let others decide if it should be retired. I think it's a great starting point and introduction to RR for any newbie as it can get sometimes a bit heavy and anal around here.

    I like the thread. Great place to just go post about whatever you're listening to that you'd like to mention and its been a good thread to just kinda check in on and see if anyone's playing anythign you've been curious about or anything that you haven't pulled out in a while. Its not like anyone would start at the beginning and go through the whole thing, but to just click on every now and then, I like it.

    I'm actually pretty confused why anyone would have a problem with it.

    Swish, I don't think you understand what's going on. There were over 700 replies to "What's Spinning?" by about 5 guys and not ONE POST that said anything had STOPPED SPINNING!!!

    great idea, (sarcastic) when the original bernd dissapears, so will all the other topics in the rave rec forum and then we're back to off, cuz then, we have to read 50 pages and if all the threads get to page 2, we have to read a hunderd, which is 4 times more then we CAN read now.

    Yeah, that did seem like a pretty lame argument. Why would anyone subscribe to a thread anyway, especially one you didn't start? What's up with Swish Baby, anyway? Probably working too hard. Though it does seem a bit odd to visit a music discussion board and just type the name of an album, or worse, post an image, but seems to be done a lot on music boards, so not that unusual. But when there's only a few posts per day, why complain?

    ...but figured it was done automatically any friggin' time I replied to one. At least that's how it must work since I never noticed anything that allowed me to subscribe in the first place. As for my "complaining", you're reading too much into it.

    You should set the default to "no subscriptions". No I can't be bothered to figure out how to do that for you, but it works for me. I don't get a single email about threads, just about newsletter stuff and PM stuff. It's somewhere under User CP. You can unsubscribe to the thread right then and there, and as long as you don't post in it again, you're golden.

    ...but the only option I see is to "subscribe". I never subscribed in the first place, but assumed that, since I posted a reply to the thread at some point, it automatically subscribed me and...you know the rest of the story. I'm far too busy to play around with this site and figure out all the gadgets and nuances, so I'm not surprised that I missed that little piece.
