  • i agree with AK. i wil always share spots with fellow strutters but perhaps this city guide should be something of a privilege to access. perhaps it could be one of the perks of paid membership...

    sounds kool raj, all the way. but riddle me this: i'm not blowing up spots so that lurkers can pillage. is this babylon system googly map spot index going to be a locked forum er whut?
    cranky strut.

    It was my intention to have it open to everybody.

    This is NOT just a google map of secret squirrel record dives... it's grubs spots, bars, flea markets, thrift stores, music equipment stores, etc. Basically, if you are going to Cincinnati and are looking for some places to hit... refer to the city guide. It's recommendations for strutters by strutters.

    I'm totally blowing up my spots, cause I don't really care any more. I don't have the level of lurker paranoia I had in my early days. I encouraged people to do the same... maybe give up one or two... or stay mum and watch another person blow up your spot.

    agree. there is a certain anonymity that keeps me coming here and away from fb twitter ect.

    Tom....I mean Dr. Delay. You can still be anonymous on the new strut. Don't add your first or last anme or upload a profile picture. But if you choose to be who you are, you can.

    I don't think this is too bad of an idea...

    I would gladly pay a 1-time $20 membership for full access to maps splattered with "no, no records here" placemarks.


    i'm assuming there would be some helpful placemarks as well.

    I'm all for revenue ideas these days, but first we need people to contribute or it won't be shit. Maybe after a year when it gets uber popular... shut the door on timmydigalot and charge him $$$.

    By the way, Strut is now sponsoring ads from The Gravity Defyer Shoe.

    You know, SPERM SHOES.

    These are my favorite:

    Extremely looking forward to seeing this new site happen.

    Also interested in the contributing member part of the site - definitely up for crossing over stuff from the blog/creating new content.

    Thanks again Raj for putting the time in to do this.

  • it may be too late in the game, but just as another suggestion that may have been overlooked...... or maybe just handled with a sticky thread.

    "trade strut".
    list what you do outside of your "internet persona" so that people with day to day questions about things outside of their reach can contact the right person. i'm a plumber with electrician experience and experience with woodworking and basement finishing. except i'm usually so busy with my customers i wont contribute until asked.

    I'd be SHOCKED if anybody had a question related to what I do at work.

    the city guide sounds uber useful

    I forgot to mention that this will have google maps with color coded mark points for each category. So you can plan a road trip on the fly and sort by region.

    This is the word! I'm plannin some diggin/vacationing 'round the southwest this summer, should be perfect for the road trippin. Excited about all the SS throwdowns, God Speed RAJ!

    Raj, you talked about blogs and people moving them here. What about podcasts? I know a number of Strutters have 'em.

    And just echoing others here, thanks for the work you've put in--can't wait till June!

    Currently the City Guide is US and Canada only but we will expand.



    I really hope this will expand soon.

    Everything else sounds great!

    Will "Reg Date" be transferred? That, plus post count, actually helps me to put a lot of people on here into context.

    looking forward to seeing this roll out.

    Not sure what your thoughts are about interfacing with other web applications like google reader for the blog side of things and soundcloud for the mix side of things?
