ok, this is kind of detailed, so bear with me, but i need as many people as possible to vote on this, as i\'d like to see what everyone thinks..
Do you want to see \'Last Night\'s Setlist\' on the front page of the site?
it would be set up in the same way the \'News\' is right now, but instead of news, it would be the latest setlist. there are pros and cons to this, which i\'m about to go into, but i personally think that having the most recent setlist(s) on the front page would be a great addition to the site...
pros:
- users who don\'t usually browse the forums will be able to see the most recent setlists.
- site would look more \'current\' and \'up-to-date\' with pretty much a daily front page update, rather than sometimes not being updated for weeks at a time when there\'s no \'news\' to be announced.
- setlists would be more accurate, more accessible, and more standardized.
- if a correction is made to a setlist, the original setlist posting will always be updated.
cons:
- users would still be able to post in setlist threads, however, they would not be able to start new threads in the Food For Thought forum. setlists would now need to be \'submitted\' (emailed to me) and posted by an administrator. however, i can assure you there would be little delay in getting a setlist up, once i receive it, and people who submit the setlists would be given full credit in the posts..
--
that\'s really the only \'con\' i could think of... if anyone else has any more questions or comments, please post them here.. otherwise, VOTE!! :)

note: you can see more details about the process in this post (http://www.thebreakfast.info/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=28870#post28870)...

I know where to find the setlists. and I like the fact you see people get their thoughts on the show/ the setlist in as soon as they can after the show. I think waiting for you to post a thread in the FFT forum ruins half the fun of getting home after a show and seeing who got on first to put their 2 cents.
if you leave the FFT board as is, and put the most recent setlist on the mainpage, then i\'m all for it.
-
I voted no because I rarely visit the home page of the site.... I usually only check the forums, so the main forum page is what I have bookmarked... not the home page.
-
wait... would the setlist still show up in the FFT forum? If so, I\'m cool with it.
-
marcial - yes, in the same way that See The Light forum = front page news...
-
I think it is a terrible idea Dave.
Just teasing. I would like to see the most recent setlist front-and-center because I often forget to check out the last setlist in the FFT forum.
You have my vote!

Can see where you are coming from dave - it would show just how "happening" the site is, but I agree with marcial for the same reasons. As you know, I didn\'t even know there was a download page at first because I never go to the home page. Suppose it would make me!!
-
I dont like the idea because then there is only one person who could post a particular setlist. Dave, you do enough between this board, work, your wife and home, do you really need to be worried about getting lists posted for us junkies...
I just posted the setlist from last nights show, and if I understand correctly, I would not have been able to post it if you switch to this PT\'esqe format.....Unless you want to give me adminstrative rights...right? ;)

Just had an idea. We all know that clicking the breakfast info next to th elittle vb icon at the top left hand corner of the thread takes you back to the forum index. Why don\'t you make the big logo at the top direct to the home page instead? Seems daft to have two links on the page going to the same place.

andy, see above.. setlists would still be in Food For Thought, the same way the front page news also appears in See The Light. so you would have the setlists available from both the home page and the forums.

doesn\'t bother me. i\'m on the forum and email all day. i check both when i wake up every morning at 4:00am. doesn\'t take much effort for me to copy and paste an email into a new thread on the forum..

right. you would have emailed it to me, and i would have posted it.. or todd would have called me, and i\'d have posted it.. like i said, there would really be a minimal delay in getting setlists up..

My bad - must admit to not having read the other posts properly before posting myself. As long as there is still access to the setlist on the board, then it shouldn\'t really worry anyone.
(You can also change my vote to a YES)

dave, I\'m in work at 4a tuesday through saturday. I can repost as long as you route the setlist post into my account. Only people online when I check it are boombox and myself. stragllers like chrisf you and todd wake up around 6, most other people forget about it - passed out till 8ish. If you could cover sunday monday, I\'ve got your back the rest of the week.

I think that this is a great idea. Would side projects be posted?
-
I too think this is a great idea, as long as you are all for it. I agree you have alot going on.
-
I\'m for it.....it\'ll save some time for myself concidering I still have dial-up connection and it takes a half hour to load a page. Just a thought I had, knowing nothing about if this would be hard or not, would seting up a mailing list and having the latest setlist sent directly to everybody email address work?
-
Great idea.
Start with tonight\'s Iron Horse show!!! I\'ll be there.
-
per request, i\'ve changed marcial\'s and boom\'s votes to YES.. gonna leave this open a little longer, but unless there\'s a mad rush of people who vote NO, it looks like this is gonna happen. :thumbsup:
-
well folks, if you check out the front page, you\'ll see that this is now active..
note that this is going to be for Breakfast setlists ONLY. setlists for side projects will not be shown on the front page. these setlists can continue to be posted by anyone, in the FFT > Side Dishes forum.

yeah that\'s f\'n cool Dave !
