Loudlon's Tab Corner!

Put a couple more of your Clutch requests on my to-do list. Can't believe they've been around as long as they have yet I'm only just now hearing of them!

So I was thinking…

I've been using this thread to announce my newly submitted tabs. I'm the only person here who does this. Granted I didn't start this thread, and was flattered the first time I saw it, but it was my choice to take advantage and use it to promote my new tabs.

But I'm not the only regular contributor here. Guys like Sid, Awal, Hugo and bassm99 and others are steady suppliers of new tabs, too. Shouldn't they have their own announcement threads, as well? Or is it pretentious that I or anyone else would announce a new tab at all, and we should just submit and let the submission page speak for itself?

What do you guys think?

When I read your recent post, Lon, my initial thought was, “what a great idea!” But instead of individual threads, I started to think of a thread dedicated to announcing and promoting forum users' latest works. In the spirit of Lon's Corner, I also thought this would be a great thread to interact with the contributors to discuss certain parts of the tabs to have general discussion with those tabbers about their submissions.

But then I thought that a thread like that could grow so big and quick that any new user or, any forum user for that matter, wouldn't be able to keep up with the pages and pages of posts. So a community thread for tab submissions may not be a good thing. Plus we have some threads that are very specific to certain artists/genres, so we'd either have duplication or lack of participation in either of the threads due to nostalgia and keeping their niche alive.

I like the narcissistic approach to the individual threads though. It gives a more one-on-one opportunity for users to engage with the tabber more.

Or the “New Bass Tabs” page, with the button at the top of the screen? There is a comment section for each tab, so what we really need is a way to see that there are new comments on a tab. That could be similar to the way the forums work, where an update moves it to the top of the list.
