DS Forum, refreshed & invigorated

Posted by Waxer | Posted in Disco Scratch Forum, Disco Scratch Stuff | Posted on 04-05-2010

I’ve been playing around with the forum for a while, different themes and such, deleting some stuff, adding boards etc… well I just wanted to remind the readers of this site that the forum is the place to go to rake over the burning ashes of the Golden Era of UK Hip Hop with a fine pick comb to pick out the gems of information.

So click the forum link at the top and have a look through the posts, get yourself registered and start posting!  Over the coming months I’ll have exclusive material only available in the forum, not on the main site.  This is also your place to suggest features, articles and give some feedback with direct interaction with myself and other members.

Lastly I just have to let you know that I personally vet all new members as I had problems with people joining up just to spam the site.  i do this by sending you a direct e-mail with a question I made up… you need to answer that correctly to get your account activated.

See you there!

Forum info & general catch up!

I dunno, all this being a grown up is overrated! I mean a month since my last post? Oh well, I suppose that’s just how it goes sometimes. Well, the summer holidays are here now and I am hoping work and stuff should calm down enough for me to do some work on the site.

First off I gotta let you know about some technical stuff. The forum has had loads of technical problems with users being unable to login, passwords not working, all kinds of stupid issues, so it’s going to be offline for a while so that I can sort it out. I’m in and out of the Diggers With Gratitude forum a fair bit so you can catch me in there.

When I bring the forum back (hopefully in about 2 weeks) there will be a new download section. This is so that you can download the golden era UK Hip Hop releases in MP3 format. I’m hoping that each download I make available will spark memories for you, or if you are not familiar with it, to seek out the original vinyl, look at Discogs, their MySpace page etc. With each post I will be adding background on the artist & the release, my personal opinions and links to where you can buy the tracks or the vinyl.

I hope this will drive a lot of new members to the forum and start conversations and debates with the Old School UK heads out there!

OK, onto other stuff, I’m going to be in Brighton on the 1st July to meet up with a load of other Old School UK Nutters for a general beach, booze & beats meet up. This is gonna be totally random, with no organisation except we all know we’re meeting in Brighton on Saturday the 1st. If you are interested add me on FaceBook ( facebook.com/discoscratch ) and you’ll be able to see the thread. Cases of Red Stripe & Dragon Stout a plenty!

Lastly I should be back on track with regular tape rip downloads, previously unavailable mixtapes and such this week, so look out for that!

Soz for the dry spell, but the lawn won’t cut itself/dining room won’t paint itself/kids can’t get to their own parties etc etc etc blah blah yawn!!!

See you all soon, peash!
