Also if a thread gets to five pages in less than two days, its probably time to stop posting in it
yeah it's kind of like a red flag for 'this is a thread that people hate'
Funny, I was thinking of doing a hype thread for my next release. Even PM'd a mod to make sure it was semi-okay. Guess I should think twice about doing it then.
the thing about "hype" threads, for me, is that they never work. in fact, they often accomplish the exact opposite of what the artist is intending, which is, they annoy me and then i purposefully avoid that person's music. if you spam me on soundcloud, i will go out of my way to never listen to your songs. if you post them reasonably and a friend tells me it's good, i will pay to download it.
so yeah, just post the music. hype is annoying. the end.

i think the main idea is that once your release comes out, you can edit the title and make it look like a bunch of people immediately give a shit about your new release, when it's really like, 10
I get the point of having a hype thread... But in this specific case, I think the best thing would be for the cm.o staff to reach some kind of consensus on whether it's officially frowned upon here or it doesn't matter.
As much as I don't really see a problem with creating one... Cm.o isn't my website. I don't own it and as such, I should probably act and post in such a way that the staff and members find acceptable.
That being said... If I start a hype thread about anything one day.... I'll do it on uCollective, lol
So let me get this straight.
People hear your complaint(which was expressed in a rather unfriendly way, targeting at least two people of the forum, page 4 of this thread to wit), which isn't shared by most, someone (ant1) is incredibly nice enough to sort out your issue anyway, and then what happens?http://chipmusic.org/forums/post/127517/#p127517

http://chipmusic.org/forums/post/127545/#p127545Awesome.
those are posted in the right thread, ant1 started it purely for previewing up-coming releases. it's no joke she really does have a release coming up.
Another day, another chipmusic.org thread.
