Welcome everyone To the Band Classifieds Forum!


1 - How to post your ads:

There are four options:

1 - Wanted, 2 - Offer, 3 - Online Collabs, 4 - Other. Just type the informations needed and proceed.

Next step is where you type and post your ad. Simple as that. Don't forget to actually type your ad! Be precise in your demands.

Don't forget to precise your location, example: Country State (or region) and City (a telephone number will do too).

Don't worry if people don't reply to you at once, just give them time to spot your ad!

Don't post classifieds just for the sake of posting, always check your replies

If you realize that you have chosen the wrong option for your ad like posting an 'offer' instead of a 'wanted' or 'online collab' you can change your topic title by editing your post/topic (lower right).

2 - Online Collaboration ads:

This option is for those who want to record demos with online mates. All they have to do is select the Online Collabs option (be sure to be very clear in your demands though).

3 - Other:

It's an option that shouldn't be abused it's purpose is for band related stuff it's meant to help active bands with problems like rehearsal locations, jam sessions, gigs (how and where to organize them) advices on equipment (P.A) ect ..

4 - The spam-ads:

This forum has been designed to be helpful to musicians in need of band mates: so please, don't spoil It by posting links to promote yourself and your band. Thanks.

As I asked in the previous pinned topic, and was never answered, What is I wanted to advertise a gig for my band, like if I wanted to say: my band is playing at the token lounge in westland, michigan at 8:45 on june 5th would i be adble to?

I think it would be a good idea, and help us get more actual use out of this forum.

[alexparker]

Well Done. If someone abuses this system how would I report it????

He was tryin' to help by giving you the correct reply.

This board is for bands lookin for bandmates. If everyone advertised their gigs the forum would turn into a mess would lose its purpose and would have to be renamed.

Use this if you want so people can learn more about you faster.

Yeah cool, please post yours in the bands and musicians profiles pin topic ...

Isn't this forum a glorious waste of bandwidth.

[Jiveturkey]

Fair point, hopefully I'll be proven wrong eh?

[dorio]

Let's hope so, time will tell

[dorio]

OK.

Now that the band forum has been upgraded i've updated the new F.A.Q's /-

Now have more options and possibilities whenever you want to post a classified

[pauliejay]

Dorio - I reckon instead of moving inappropriate topics you should just delete them. They just clutter up the board.


Doing a great job here my friend!

[dorio]

Those 2 "bandness" topics, are some kind of glitch, and i can't delete them either!

From now on I'll close or delete: moving always backfires and it's a loss of space


Thanks for the compliment Paulie

[britrit]

it would be alot easier for everyone to make the threads sorted by date.

[dorio]

Mm wouldn't that be chaos?

The forum works because ads are sorted by types how would you tell an Offer from a Wanted if they were sorted by dates? It would take users alot of time..... It would be confusion I reckon...
