Hi all

You will have noticed some alterations to the organisation of topics on the forum.
The 'site announcements' category has been renamed News and Announcements and the forums in there have been re-organised.
There are now separate forums for news of

John Foxx
The Forum and
Metamatic.com website

These are where all the news and announcements will be posted...

Secondly, I have introduced a new category called JOHN FOXX so that the main man has priority and standout from the rest of the 'music' forums. In the course of time, I'll be relocating threads in there where topics relating to specific projects, albums etc can be discussed

For now, you'll see that there is a new forum John Foxx and The Maths for all the current stuff, and also that the Ultravox and Nation 12 forums have been relocated to the new JOHN FOXX

Hope this all makes sense.

Thanks

Mx

This weekend, I've done a bit more pruning (removing and merging duplicate topics etc) and introduced a couple more re-organisations.

In the new JOHN FOXX category, I've set up forums called

John Foxx and Louis Gordon
into which all topics relating to John and Louis's work together have been moved (Shifting City, TPOE, From Trash, live dates etc) and
Collaborations
into which I have moved topics on John's work with 'other people' (Budd, D'Agostino, Metamatics, Robin Guthrie etc)

This in turn simplifies all the other forums for these individual artists. Instead of Music this category is now entitled Links and Collaborations and has been pruned down so that only topics that discuss their individual careers remain.
Or at least they will be...

Thanks. Mx

Hi Martin
You're doing a good job on here

Peter

I agree, I like the new structure. Logical and convenient.

Cheers guys.

I've just created an Artwork forum in JOHN FOXX where the topics on

Book covers
Duck Art
Science fiction Stories
Exhibitions

are now hosted.
Few more duplicates removed and 'topics merging'

Excellent work Martin. Really appreciated.

Just a thought: in the 'Ultravox' section there is stuff about 'Ure-vox' rather than 'Foxx-vox' . .should they be kept separate?
Mind you, I don't know where you could put "Ure-vox".. in The Green Room?
How about a 'other bands' section?

Just a thought, as I said...but perhaps I think too much.
:rolleyes:

I thought about this, but s long as they are seperate topics then all is as it should be I think.
Good balance, best of both etc.

There is very actually little discussion here of Ure-vox... most of that is done over at The Other Place

It's been a while since I 'fiddled about' with The Forum.

In response to some of the questions I've received here and by email etc, I've done a bit of pruning to make the Forum List a little simpler...

The topics that were previously located in the Media and Press and Artwork forums, have now all been moved into the John Foxx forum at the top of the list.

I think that should make it easier to decide where to put things. But with John's varied output and ethereal presence in All Things, it is rather like trying to knit smoke
