- google ads? anyone got any objection or any idea whether they might generate $600 pa for us?
- cheaper hosting - aso are OK but perhaps we could get better value elsewhere?
- getting involved in admin, modding - anyone fancy it?
- developing dissensus -maybe moving on from vbulletin, or other stuff apart from the forum on or offline - maybe events of some sort, playing out publishing or music ...

Just wanted to ask quickly: any chance of enabling Tapatalk compatibility? Apparently it's pretty easy (and free): http://www.tapatalk.com/plugin.php

^ Totally agree!
It's an interesting idea, though. Maybe some sort of CDR / MP3 comps of unsigned stuff curated in a distributed fashion (ie by different people nominating stuff from different scenes that they're involved in) could be cool?
Interesting idea. Doing events or putting records out is an interesting idea but there's kind of a risk that you'll either end up pigeonholing the forum as a grime / garage / funky forum or doing stuff that's so eclectic that it flops and loses loads of money... I think Subvert Central Recs suffered a bit from this.

anyhow, here's what I was going to PM, may as well be public to open up the discussion
I'd quite like to be involved with helping the board, im not massively tech - but I use loads of forums and notice the way things evolve and die.
I'd like to see a separation of some of the sub forums, the art, literature and film section could be split - leading to more space for more specific threads - and if people start really discussing things in greater depth and talking about the details it's more likely to be thrown up on a specific search, which in turn will drive the adsense revs (possibly) but also increase the overall indexing for more general searches.
Also - if you could split the sections the adbars would be more appealing - for example a boomkat adbar is no good in the Nature section, a publishers adbar is no good in the music section.
Not expecting things to be taken too far, we don't need individual forums for juke and another for footwork (examples sake) - but a little specialization maybe cool.
Maps and stuff would be nice too, creating a network of clubs and pubs etc - records shops, outlining the market dissensus is about - so others can see it clearer and feel more enthusiastic about investing in it yadadada...
Anyhow, just some ideas really, let me know how I can help.

Sure I'm not the only person who'd love a dedicated Food and Drink subforum!
loads of articulate, up to date and interesting discussions about London food - juxtaposed with the maps, and a few adbars or an app.... that could be harnessed for a little revenue, you wont get enough to cover the costs, but a little bit helps or could be put towards other stuff like club nights or personalised ivory back scratchers I dunno. Don't want to come across as a capitalist cock or anything - but alot of stuff is already being done and could work for dissensus a little, in some ways make things even better..
Jenks can mod the Negarestani subforum ;-)
