Thoughts' AND/OR Complaints on the new 'FNK Vancouver Event Calendar'

www.fnk.ca/board/calendar.php

Thoughts', suggestions, complaints, complements, whines, groans and praise are all welcome.

Without input I cannot make anything better for you! The Vancouver Event Calendar is only in baby stages and will be developed in coming weeks to better organize event listing for (who else) then YOU the users of it.

Already on the to-do list:

Red titles for Parties, Blue titles for Club, Green titles for Other events
Mini-flyer listing and Full-flyer uploads
Ticket price organizer, w/ preset ticket outlet selector

Move the JUMP TO MONTH box up right under the April 2005 box.

i like it but are we gonna get the gallery back?

klockwize · #4 (**permalink**) Mar 30, 05

i think its wicked
you can focus on what you want to post, and its more direct on what the promoter is trying to get across ie. important changes, timeslots and what not!
thumbs up!

Event calendar missing some stuff. Fusion dreams (may 21st)

Like you said before myles most people never like change.
I think its too soon to really critict the new system, however I think im more for it than against.

Looks to be much more organized and I like the colour code thing(club/rave/other). Having all the promo in one section will allow ppl to see all their options at once and compare instead of just seeing the anoying hyped threads in the regular forum. This should hopefully gear my self and others to check out the calender more often :p

That's because the promoter has yet to log it into the calendar section

its the production companies responsibility to post their shows =)

I like the changes.....

I was just wondering if there is a way to perhaps have an option in there to list every event in an ordered list including the description and what not. (kinda like how teamhardcore.com used to have it ). I always found this to be a useful.

I think you would create a lot more revenue for the site if you sold tickets online for the events witha $2.00 service charge
Honestly I think you'd sell 100's and 100's a month
Maybe say any promoter who sells tickets online for you does not have to pay the monthly fee

I think it's a Win/Win/Win situation

FNK wins cause it creates more revenue for it's site
The Promoter wins cause he/she has a huge site to sell tickets from a large site, and also saves money
The Raver wins cause (s)he'll save money on the service charge. Since most outlets charge $5.00 a ticket nowdays.

You already have a paypal account so it's really easy!

i like things the way they are.... but change is good, how else can we progress? :P thats all i had to say...

dj_soo · #14 (**permalink**) Apr 05, 05

i don't like it - it's harder to promote a show (calander is more useful for a "what's going on tonight/next friday") type deal and I'll be damned if I have to pay money to post on a message board.

I'd rather donate money from paypal or something...

PS Agrodave has a killer idea there...

angst · #15 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

^^^ yep, what he said

dabbler · #16 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

it's next to impossible to look and find anything. i went looking for something last night, and couldn't find it, tho maybe that's cause no one posts up events anymore, since it costs money.

veN · #17 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

Its more organized and easier to track down what is going on on a particular date. I like it!

Akeel · #18 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

i like it, easier to see whats going, just need all the promoters to post their info in the calendar.

isnt the calendar free to post in?

just the threads that cost money?

most threads are nothing but the same people with posts like "bump!", "to the top!", "1 week to go!", "so stoked!", "i'm doing E bombs!" anyway.

Ray! · #19 (**permalink**) Apr 11, 05

Please make your event calendar like teamhardcore did that was the best and most organized and i miss it so bring back the teamhardcore format

thats a really good idea!

i dont really like the new calendar though. you should make it like teamhardcore i agree where you can scroll down a big list instead of clicking on individual dates... or even providing both functions somehow

and you guys need to fix the events review link. it's hidden now

DJDeeb · #21 (**permalink**) Apr 18, 05

Myles:

One thing thats is needed and might be easy to add into the calender is a search function!!
I'm right now searching for info on the Ferry Corsten event. So far I have not found anything on it .Perhaps the promoter has not posted anything .
But either way it would be nice if you could just go into the event calender and type a keyword or two into a search box and it will come up with matches and such.

nm......just did an advanced search on the 'Vancouver feature events' and found what i was looking for.

It would still be cool if there was a search box dedicated to just this forum though instead of click around the advanced search area.:y:

Some of those threads definently got out of hand and still do that can afford to be around. However if questions, concerns, or new info comes up, I dont really see how were supose to find out especialy if in short notice?

I dont disagree with FnK charging as before it was "free advertising" However for smaller promoters its just not worth paying that much to get attention for a night small event.

NinjaBoy · #23 (**permalink**) May 01, 05

I'm not keen on it. Paying to allow a thread isn't a hot idea.

Smaller parties won't pay that kind of money just to start a thread. And how about the free beach parties and such that go on during the summer? Or really cheap parties? You should encourage people to throw cheap/free parties, not discourage them.

When it's a regular thread that everyone can reply to, it creates a lot more hype, people can see new updates, see who's going and check back to see more replies about the subject. This means it's easy to get excited for a party the weeks building up to it.

And it's very easy to miss things in the calander as well.

As mentioned in another post, we'll have something sorted out soon for the free bbq, campfire - party thing. Keep in mind it can still be added for "free" in the calendar section.

Bare in mind the calendar is still under construction. We're adding some visual enhancements and some more features soon. :D

It is still detremental to small parties. Why bother trying to charge people to start a thread in the first place....? $10 a week for a thread, that's a little steep...
