IMPORTANT MEMBER INFO!! PLEASE READ!
Hey folks,
As most of you are aware, I've been "carrying forward" gigs on our calendar every Tuesday for folks who post them, as a courtesy because there is no "recurring" function on our calendar. (Solved in the next version, beta-testing now!) Well, due to the high amount of erroneous information I have been getting and subsequently posting, I'm going to have to stop doing that. I've gotten dozens of complaints lately, all of which were either because I was given bad info, accidentally missed carrying forward one gig out of dozens, or wasn't notified when a gig ENDED.
So I have to make a change:
From now on, I won't be "carrying forward" any more gigs,
unless I am notified by the venue or the artist
(in writing via email or PM or post on here)
that they are ongoing.
(And it would be nice to know when they end as well...your patrons get angry when they show up and you're not there!) I've been asked to "check people's websites" for gigs every week....but not only do I not have the
time to go "scrape" hundreds of websites for gigs, but I cannot rely on websites for info, either - they are very often wrong! Gigs change constantly, and websites often don't reflect those changes. I need confirmation from a PERSON involved with the gig, or it won't be listed, not by me anyway.
Even better - if you have time to inform me of the gig, then you have time to put it on the calendar yourself.
I would greatly appreciate the help - it's not hard to do, and we provide the How-Tos. Remember that YOU make money on your gigs. We don't.
If you are an artist or a venue, it is your job to promote yourself - as an entrepreneur, you are responsible for your OWN success or failure.
Promoting yourself on WT takes 5-10 minutes per week, and gains you benefits far beyond just this site.... 98 Rocks, KSCL, and more.
And if you post them yourself, then YOU are in control of how it looks, what it says, if there's a flyer/picture or not, etc.
I am simply going to list "so-and-so@whatever-place". If you want more than what I offer for free,
then take the reins!
Our focus is on bringing the traffic (eyes and ears) here, keeping WT running smoothly and efficiently, and keeping the Bad Guys off the site...which is now harder than ever!
Your focus should be on taking advantage of our work, to best benefit YOU.
As always, we welcome any suggestions or feedback!
And if you wanna beta-test the new site, let me know and I'll set you up an account.
Thanks!
Doc and Paige
PS: In the next version, this won't be a problem, the calendar does recurring dates...but with a limit so they don't just "go on forever".
