I'm thinking about putting a PTW news ticker at the top of the forum and topic view pages in obner - maybe directly opposite the page/forum title, where there seems to be some extra space. What do you guys think?

Sure.

Why not.

Bring it.

okay.
cool.

As long as they don't use the word "joints" for songs.

or you can just put a link to a random music related news item and cut out the middleman.

yeah dude.

bring dat shit homey

"Yes. Have some."

I'm game.

You mean let us click and be there to actually experience the news firsthand? You can do that now? That'd be awesome!

If there's a chance in hell that it would fuck with the stability of the board then I'd say its not worth it. But I don't know if there's a chance in hell that it would and appear to be outvoted anyway. But my general feeling is the simpler you keep this place, the more stable it should be and the less potential downtime we'll ever have.

Do whatever you thinks best though.

Dig it.
Would the ticker be linked text so we can jump right to the story? Or to PTW? Either way, me likey.

i don't really see the point of doing it.

good idea haq

i agree here.

i mean (and yeah i guess i'm kinda biased) A Tune A Day and Hip Displeasure are more interesting than paperthinwalls at this point. that site offers news that you can find on other sites, and nothing new/fresh or exclusive commentary.

shit, put a link to Pitchfork. or wait, maybe NME.

how about the fact that you would be supporting members of this board on a new venture? I mean, Hip Displeasure is great but there are a million other record review sites. Yet I support them because they are friends.

Yea, I say give Whiney a chance.

This may be extra work, Aaron, but would it be possible to mock up a page so we can see how it would look?

Yeah, not that I'm against supporting what's-his-face, but wouldn't it be just as easy for people to go directly to ptw.com on their own time?

...yet.
