You have been here since 2004 Do you not see familiar names that you have posted with over the decade and have a joke or "frivolous banter" with them? If you don't mind me saying I think it a bit odd that anyone can spend 10 years posting on a forum with people and not!
I don't. It's rude to private banter on someone's thread.

This is DS - we don't do jokes and frivolous banter ;-):o:kitty:
Seriously though, there are many people I used to have a laugh and a joke or exchange pleasantries with on DS, but they've mostly all gone, and to be honest the last few years on here, have been a tad grim.
I can't speak for anyone else, obviously, but my personal perception here, is largely of a battleground, as opposed to somewhere I can relax and have a laugh among friends. I do have another forum for that.

I do have banter and share the odd joke with other FMs, but in moderation. Just find it annoying when making a considered response to a thread that interests me, it seems to get lost in the seemingly endless off topic back and forth banter from certain members.
This is primarily a discussion forum, not a chat room (unless it's in 'Chatter').
I guess its the same as a factory or workplace which has a high turnover of staff. The workforce is constantly changing over the years and anyone leaving and coming back after a few years finds that most of their friends have left and gone on to new jobs and all you have left are the hardcore of regulars who will never leave. That old bloke who's been there 30 years and sits by himself in the staff restaurant is still telling his corny jokes, and still nobody listens to him.

Every forum I've frequented over the years has threads that "burn out" or become repetitive and then just go off topic with banter.
It's not a trait that's peculiar to DS - it's very common.
God forbid light hearted responses and banter become frowned upon.
It's no different to having a chat in the pub with friends.
Looking through old threads so many FM's have been banned, it's startling. I think the perma ban hammer comes into force far too soon on DS and seems to happen much faster than other forums.

Possibly because so many come back under new personna. It's become laughable as they are so transparent.
I can quite believe that - I post in that thread from time to time and have noticed you're one of the more frequent contributors!
Tensnake also produces his own tracks apart from playing tracks by other DJs/producers. For instance the track before the Maxxi Soundsystem is below. Maceo Plex is in his own right also a DJ/producer.
I have noticed many times that a decent thread topic is often ruined by it going completely off thread by just silly back and forth private chatter and "in" jokes among two or three posters, their posts having little to do with the original subject post.
If someone does complain with the thread going off topic they get descended upon by the clique accusing them of being self appointed moderators or forum police
If you want the next 20,000+ glorious utterances to remain unsullied then you either have to
a) do your own blog and disable comments
b) just use the magic "Quote" tags so the reader can follow the context.
Simples.
There are quite a few former prolific posters that I can think of who I don't recall seeing on here for a while. Cheeky beggars must have got themselves one of those 'life' things.
Well, I can sort of understand threads about that story being closed. It did become the same old arguments, over and over again, and always ended in some mud slinging.
But I'm more surprised at threads about the historical child abuse scandal being shut down, presumably there are numerous injunctions flying around and the media are running scared.
The funny thing I found was that you could quote something directly from the press that day and still fall foul of the moderators. I'm not complaining, it's their forum, but it seems strange. Perhaps DS has to be more cautious or don't consider their forum the place for contentious subjects ?

I read it to keep up with them but I can't get the hang of it really........:o

Lol...:D

If you want to have a natter go in chatter.

The track before that is by Tensnake himself featuring Nile Rodgers. The mix below in fact.

It is across the board in all the sections on here, good posters have been lost.
And you have got 13 posts in that thread you slacker.
Must try harder.
I have to agree.
a) do your own blog and disable comments

I steer clear of that lot, far too scary.
Personnell.
Ditto
you are complaining
