Subject: The fRoots Messageboard...Do you post?
From: Lizzie Cornish
Date: 03 Jul 06 - 07:58 AM

Hi Guys!

Someone mentioned to me today, that over on the fRoots board, Ian Anderson has started a thread asking for people's opinions on why, despite seemingly to have a large amount of registered people, very few of them actually post on there.

Now....I WOULD pop over and tell him why it's so quiet, but.....he banned me! ;0)



So...WHY do YOU think his board is so quiet?

Here's the original thread from over there:

http://froots.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1492


I may tell you why his board (imo) is *so* quiet a bit later on! ;0)

What value is there in debating why another forum is quiet or has this or that type of posts or who has been banned and who is part of what gang?

I'd rather be discussing music rather than talking shops.

Er...I think that's why Ian started his thread, to try to discover why there is so little discussion of music on his board. Perhaps by chattering about it over here, it may encourage some folk to go over to his board and have a natter....about music.....

I think Jon got it in one with his remark

"more importantly, I feel this is a difficult board to post on if one wishes to express a view that is at odds with say "froots" or aguably with a "froots board core". I'm not saying that dissenting views are not allowed, I'm just commenting on a personal feeling."

A number of former fRoots board posters have told me stories over the months of why they no longer post there. Several of them are erudite and witty contributors to the Radio 2 Board. It backs up my own observation that dissenting views are certainly NOT encouraged on the fRoots board. It isn't just a "personal feeling" Jon. I am sure we are not alone.

Nope, this is a 'widening-out' of Ian Anderson's discussion Jon. I'd appreciate it if *you* didn't turn it into your usual 'Lizzie Bashing' one though. (perhaps you should start your own thread for that, thank you)

I think it's a great shame that his board isn't busier, he has an entire world of music that *should* be being discussed, lit up and spoken about in joyous terms....


It doesn't make sense to me....

Tom, Jon

I used to get lots of pleasure and value talking about the way to play music, instruments, style, technique and material, principally because I am a musician and Mudcat and the Beeb F&A were ideal places to do that. However I've been worn out by contentious discussions and furthermore, because of the absence of intercourse with like minded people, I'm spending more time with my instruments now rather than hanging about on the internet, which is probably a good thing anyway. The fRoots forum has always seemed to concentrate on discussing genres and talking about music rather than aspects that I'm interested in, which is not invalid in itself, but just not the place for me, especially as I feel out of my depth or in contention with some of the contributors. I rather regret that that the Beeb F&A is no longer a place I feel at home in either. I left that place because of the rows and even though it is quieter now, most if not all of the other people that I used to correspond with have left.

Hey ho. The lyrics of Adieu Adieu are waiting.

Hey Jon, instead of leading some tunes, just join in with what is going on, maybe quietly at first, until you get some confidence back. Who knows, at the end of a set, you might feel inspired to go the next step.

Get well soon buddy.

Back to this thread topic, depsite what I may have said in message #2, I guess we have the opportunity to be postive and ask "What is it about a forum that makes us want to contribute?" I guess I've already made my reply back in message #9

Well....I would of course be discussing it on the fRoots board, but er....I can't...because Grumpy Ed decided to chop off my head for a thread on the Oysterband and another on whether the 'f' word should still be being used...and using ooh...about two similes.

Right...so that's that cleared up then.

And far from being what the, yet *again* usual suspects who follow me round, are saying..this er...is actually trying to get to the bottom of something which I think is a very great shame.

If more people take notice of Ian's board because of this thread, and perhaps go in there and post...then that can only be a *good* thing.

If others want, as always.....Jon Freeman...YAWN!....to have a 'Lizzie Bashing' thread then please go ahead, rather than keep taking *this* thread er.....off thread. Thanks..(second time I've said that guys!)



"....and furthermore, because of the absence of intercourse with like minded people, I'm spending more time with my instruments now rather than hanging about on the internet, which is probably a good thing anyway......."

I should say so!! Quick Nurse....the screens!!!

(Wahey Hey! Rolling All Over Everywhere, Giggling Totally Helplessly Smiley!)

Trys desperately, yet fails miserably, to put face into straight expression again!



And now.....back to Grumpy Ed's board.......

I also read the article about why he's quit. What a nightmare thing to happen. Read Ben Watt's book "Patient" for a description of what Churg-Strauss disease is like to go through.

I'll probably look in to the fRoots forum again, too. Thanks for the pointer.

Lizzie.
I've always considered The Cat, R2 F&A, fRoots, and Charlies boards, to be about like minded people exchanging information, and sharing knowledge.
Yes, I'm only human too, and sometimes get sucked into some Troll Fest. (Bulmer/Celtic, for instance.....Nooooo! don't start that one again.)
If I find a genuine question that I have the answer to, then I will reply.
I credit most people on these boards with a fair amount of intelligence. They have heard about Mr Lakeman, and SOH, and don't need it continually rammed down their throats.
On the Cat, it's very useful to me, that I can discuss Concertinas with people around the world (Hello to Bob Bolton in Oz !)
Have just helped someone on the Beeb board doing research into the songs and tunes of the East Riding of Yorkshire, who the best person is to contact.

That is the beauty and purpose of these boards IMHO.

It's always interesting to get a take on what is going on the other side of the pond, and indeed have made several friends because of it.
So Lizzie, great respect. but, sniping about other message boards on Mudcat only makes you look a bit bitter.

Thank God Max has not introduced Smilies.

Ralph

PS. Saw Charlie G a week or so ago, and he's in good spirits, but sad to have had to give up his R London show. He's still doing his World Service prog though. It's not so much of a strain.

Later!

"....So Lizzie, great respect. but, sniping about other message boards on Mudcat only makes you look a bit bitter...."

Actually Ralph....if you'd care to look....I've not been 'sniping' about Ian or his board. And far from being 'bitter' I've always found it quite amusing to have been banned for using Smilies! ;0)

I'm merely broadening the discussion about why the fRoots board has gone so quiet.

I'd suggest you join Jon's 'Lizzie Bashing' thread if you've anything further to say about me though. Thanks.....

Oh...and Ralph..by the way....I too have helped people on the R2 board you know....quite a few people have had the kindness to come over to Myspace and tell me that they've discovered all sorts of different music from reading some of my posts. It's interesting though isn't it, that despite me having written about dozens and dozens of musicians, singers, dancers etc....all you and the usual suspects ever 'throw at me' is Show of Hands or Seth Lakeman.

Why Ralph....as I remember, people even started to buy 'Flat Earth' because of what was being said on the R2 board, not in their millions admittedly, but perhaps...just now and again you'd care to take a look into some of the things I've said....

Take the blinkers off Ralph!

And I'm surprised you've not been over to try and help Ian sort out what the problem is, as he has specifically asked people, which I have to say I admire him for doing, because that can't have been an easy decision.

And now...back to the Lizzie Bashing from ALL the usual suspects!!

Although, I'd much prefer to keep on thread...but...whatever turns you on I guess.....

Lizzie, I've no desire to start a Lizzie bashing thread. I just sometimes respond to or about your trolling in other threads. Rather than bash you as you call it, I'd simply have prefered it that you hadn't started another what's wrong with another board thread.

Opening up oppertinities to attack other boards never in my works out even if the motivation is (ulinke in your case) done with misguided good intentions and is pretty well guranteed to put contributers to both boards in question in a difficult position (even without people opening with comments something like "The BBC pathetic gang"). The next step from in, at least on newsgroups can be a cross posted flame war.

"Why Ralph....as I remember, people even started to buy 'Flat Earth' because of what was being said on the R2 board, not in their millions admittedly, but perhaps..."

It had actually almost sold out when you discovered said CD. It now has done.

I'm with GUEST Jon on this one. Enjoy your MySpace site. I'm sure it's very good.

All the mentioned sites above, are populated by clever and knowledgable people, and also newcomers who (to some) might ask questions that to the majority, may seem fatuous and inane. But, for them, they are fundamental in their particular learning curve. Both the former and the latter need to be treated with respect.

What nobody needs is someone preaching to the converted.

Instead of endlessly talking about your favourite artists (I'm assuming that I've been deleted from your Christmas card list) Why not start playing music.

It's quite good fun actually

Ralph

He Banned you (as did Radio2) because you were taking up an awful lot of space, banging on about your favourite bands incessantly, (who everybody else had heard about years ago) and deciding that without "Said Bands" all our lives would be impoverished.

If the fRoots board appears a bit quiet at the moment, well, for one It's Summer....and 2 You're not clogging it up with unnecessary verbiage.

I would recommend that you promote your favourite artists on your MySpace site, Well Done. Hope it continues well.

This may seem a bit harsh, but, in reality, there are a lot of musicians out there, for whom your antics have actually been very negative.

Think long and hard about replying.

From: Lizzie Cornish
Date: 04 Jul 06 - 09:58 AM

Ralph...for your information.

FACT 1: I am no longer banned by the BBC, I choose not to go there.

FACT 2: I was banned, for one week, for repeatedly asking the BBC to give me an explanation on WHY they closed down threads on *certain* artists, and *not* others. I am STILL waiting to hear from them.   

However, there now follows a very long post, for which I make no apologies:



And now, back to the subject of this thread:

Part of the problem, imo, with Ian's board, can also be seen very clearly on here. Messageboards are often 'ruled' by small groups of people who want things run 'their way' and their way only. Take the BBC board for example, it states this on the board 'details', which I have copied and pasted:

"A place to explore and enjoy this genre and talk about gigs."


That is what I and others often did. It does *not* however, in *any* way state this:

'This is a board soley for traditional musicians, preferably English, preferably who know each other, preferably with no humour, no empathy, no tolerance and no compassion.....to come in and talk entirely amongst themselves about music and instruments, to the exclusion of all other 'non-musicians' at all times. It is also a board to be used for very personal remarks about other posters. If these wretched 'other posters' (henceforth known as 'trolls') **dare** to remain on this board and talk about subjects which *they* deem suitable/enjoyable/interesting then they shall be bullied rotten, deeply insulted and chased away...etc. etc.'

Nope! The BBC board states *none* of that, just the first quote only.


Now then, Ian's board states this, again, copied and pasted from his site:

"From our own correspondents - the electronic mailbag! Carefully crafted arguments, theories, reactions, diatribes, stuff you'd like to know etc. Unseemly personal squabbling will be zapped. We reserve the right to dispense with correspondents who are terminally boring or wilfully provocative (a.k.a. "trolls"). And not for news announcements - these go on the board below . . . "


Now, that doesn't strike me as being very welcoming actually. I'd get rid of that completely and put something far warmer on. I'm not sure what Ian's definition of a 'troll' is. Or 'terminally boring' either. Obviously he has a low tolerance threshold about certain things. But it's my opinion that the fRoots board is 'controlled' by the same small group of people who wanted to control the BBC one, and that is the group who will ONLY permit what THEY deem suitable to be spoken about.

That is NOT freedom of speech. It is *not* open-minded, it is not fair, welcoming, or just, either. Also, if you have a particular poster on your board, who uses their knowledge purely as a weapon, to destroy the confidence of others, to belittle and humiliate....then guess what? Loads of posters, who may be sitting 'out there' *desperate* to write something on your shiny board....WON'T!

In my opinion, the sooner Ian becomes far more lenient about what is and is not allowed to be talked about on his board, and more vigilant about the way that other posters are often insulted by er...mainly one person...the better and busier his board will be.

Ian Anderson has done a huge amount for World Music and for many, many musicians, but....he could do far more for many others as well. His board *should* be buzzing with sparkling threads and posts. There literally IS a whole world of music out there....and he needs, imo, to ensure that his board is used for the *right* purposes and that is, for the open, friendly, warm, humourous, interesting and *sometimes* serious discussion, of some wonderful music.

And far from hitting the man whilst he's away, I'm trying to get others to come forward with *their* opinions on how it could be made better. Because ALL music is world music! Yes...even that which is discussed on Mudcat...yes..EVEN (altogether now..) Show of Hands and Seth Lakeman! And Ian deliberately put that thread on just before he went away and he *announced* he was going away, so therefore we can safely assume that he WANTS discussion about it. And the more views he has...the better he will be able to sort it all out!

I personally think that he desperately needs to let down those fences, take down his 'radar', open up his boundaries, enjoy his posters.....and RELAX!! And then...THEN...he may be *very* pleasantly surprised and his board may start to bring in loads of people who will yatter on and others who will read it to find out masses about some stunning World Music. And below you will find a miniscual selection of World Music and THAT is what Ian's board should be about...yup...all those different musicians and many, many more.

And I fully expect that people will come on here now and say that a lot of the music above should *not* be discussed on the fRoots board or anywhere else...and *that* to me is part of the whole problem. If you want a narrow view of music, then you will get a narrow audience.

The Folk World is *not* 'THEM * US'....it is '*WE*'

I'd try to see things from your point of view Lizzie, but I don't think I could get my head that far up my ass

Please delete this garbage thread

Now now Clinton.....we had that joke a very long time ago on the R2 board......do try and be original. Er....do you actually have *anything* to say about fRoots at all?

And hands off Ralphie please..you worry me! ;0) Much as he's driving me round the bend at present I draw the line about him being given over to your care!! ;0)

That thread was good about police uniforms Clinton....I'll have to try one of those....heck....*that's* where I'm going wrong! Doh!!!!! I keep talking about music, and boards, and musicians....and

Right....got it now...North Poles, Dogs, Cats and Policeman! Sheesh...if only I'd read the rules before I came in here........

"do you actually have *anything* to say about fRoots at all?"

Ya... it has ZERO bearing on Mudcat.... If you wanna suck about fRoots, go do it on fRoots..... Oh.... that's right.... you can't.....

Then go do it somewhere else......

Just as long as you go

and take this bullshit thread with you

Ooh...can you ask him for some Smilies please! I so *need* them! ;0)

I like Max....he let's you talk back to twits!

And now....back to the fRoots board....which should have been filled with discussion about people like this:

Ayub Ogada:
http://www.myspace.com/ayubogada

BUT....no-one's been yattering on there since lunchtime....and that needs to change, because the WHOLE WORLD should know about Ayub!

I'd send Clinton over, but I am SO not that mean!! :0)

Clinton!! Purleeeze....

...you are so messing up my answers! I was talking about Max in my last post there....and then you came along....and now......Heck..you can type as fast as me! ;0)

Look....This was *supposed* to be a thread to broaden out a discussion....but er....it's been taken over by er....Sweetiepies such as yourself.

Phew! 'Tis a good job Grumpy Ed's on his holipops...because if he came in here and thought that you might be posting on his board he'd have the screaming abdabs!!

Oh well...I tried.....

Have a nice day...cheerio.....

Oh...and 'tis no good you trying to soften me up with your sweet words...for I am promised to another!
