Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
The PM system upgraded so people can talk to more than one person at a time but it's not wildly different from the past. Instead of opening each individual PM to read/respond to you get it all in one spot.
I understand how they work, and I understand that people have been using them instead of the regular threads instead of posting in public. Do you agree or not agree that our post count for 6 weeks before Bonnaroo has gone way down, and do you think it is because of the number of posts going on in the private music threads that people are using?

Just the kind of witty brilliant well informed reply to a serious conversation that we have grown to expect from you. Kudo's on the brilliant riposte.

I haven't noticed any kind of decline personally, but that's just me.

I haven't personally noticed the post count going down but I don't pay close attention to that stuff. The forum seems just as active as it normally has to me. I wouldn't say that a majority of posters are using them to discuss the festival instead of posting on the board but I have not been made aware of anything like that until now. Even if that's the case....does it matter? People likely discussed parts of the festival or other festivals/shows in PMs in the past.
I'm not part of any "private music threads going around" that you speak of and if there are people who want to discuss things via PM I don't have an issue with that.

I don't know does it? Also I asked just because it seems like a lot of sections do not have a lot of life compared to the previous years. All I did was ask a question in the related thread, I dont think I made any judgments other than @ntellier85 being an ass.

Not sure which sections you are specifically talking about and without knowing how the post count usually is compared to how it is now I'm not really sure what should be done. You asked a question and Dave and myself gave answers, saying that it didn't feel like there was less posting because of people PMing each other. Like I said....I don't tend to pay close attention to that stuff but I haven't noticed any less posting than usual. Perhaps it's because there are fests starting up now with people attending them (lots of inforoosters went to Coachella recently).
I'm not very familiar with other boards, but how would this work? Would the thread creator designate people he/she would like to invite, or is there a certain threshold of posts that automatically yields admittance?

I go back and forth, honestly. The idea of post-count would exclude some of my favorite contributors.
Plus, if we're moving to another board, it would be a lot of effort for very little return, imo.
I also have no idea if that's still happening. I just mash the ignore button, for now, before I say something I don't mean.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
