What the fuck does that have to do with the question I asked? It echoes because the sound man changes the vocal reverb and other settings.
It is a conversation mind.
JD Cup - bring it on. Might I suggest a champions league format with qualifiers, a round robin and then quarter finals.
I just thought about this. It would be interesting to see how this era's New order has aged in the minds of their fan base.

and a final between Chemical and Weirdo.

Well, something different than the last Cup, anyway. We don't need to do the exact same thing we did one year ago.

Tell me that wasn't a year ago please?!
I need to get out more...!

She seems to be staying away lately, is she planning a big comeback as the summer fold out model?

Yeah, time flies in front of the ol' cathode ray tube, dunnit? LOL
why not, we all love to fight over the favourites, don't we. I was most aggrieved when MY favourite lost 
I demand justice this time :kiss:
I'm game. Maybe it can be a bit different this time around or have some sort of prize like a cd with the first live versions of all the top 10-15.

Sadly they wouldn't need to put the folds in, I'm already creased :(
Oh and Steve, I've been away because of the amount of burglary I've been dong lately. I hope the coppers in my area are on their computers as much as you 
Woohoo!! A New Order Cup!! I'm game for this!! 
[And I'm hoping for a good showdown between TPK and TLU!]
Preparing myself for a good old slating, but, here goes - How does a New Order Cup actually work?
I'm new to this site + have a void of knowledge in the football area

We basically have a slew of New Order songs in a showdown grudge match in which we vote in rounds for the best New Order song in town. Good clean wholesome fun!
So when's round one, folks!?
Yeah I'm down / up for it
I've changed my mind on a few tracks since the last one, so should be interesting. I personally would keep JD out of it, although how would it work, just ones that have been played live or In Session?
Temptation would still win though!
Why don't we just do a live version one? As most/virtually all sound different live anyway,& some don't come across well live at all,could be a tad more interesting than summat we only did a year ago? Just a thought..........
P.S. Thinking 'bout it,it's a bit complicated that innit? I'll get me coat....:\ohwell:

Actually, yes it is complicated, since I've *cough*NEVER*cough* seen 'em live. 
why not a B sides one (probably been done and I missed it)

Instead of another community, which I'm sure Nick and wen are only just recovering from, how about a NOOLers covers section on the multimedia page, it would save time and a lot of effort on Nicks part, and we could leave ourselves open to a lot of slagging off from other NOOLers

Cheeky sod! I work hard. We do have computers at work you know.

A JD Cup sounds like a good idea instead...

I suppose we could do both. You in a hurry?
I haven't thought of a god way to make it different from last year. I still have the data from the "Definitive top 10 NO song" poll that was done last year. We could use those data for seedings. I don't have anything from the JD polls, though.

I thought I'd ask some random questions. How does he change the vocal reverb during the song?
Some people here should read the community standards...
Posting about 20 polls on the same day is considered as SPAM....
As oldmonkey pointed out, "it's so painfully dead around here". Even with all those polls, page 1 still includes stuff from yesterday.

Besides, here is the exact quote from the comminuty standards:
"Spamming is the multiple posting of an identical or similar post on one or more of our Forums."
Personally, I don't think that 'Regret vs. Dracula's Castle' is identical or very similar to 'Hurt vs. Round & Round'.
The only similarity is "vs."
Fucking load of shit clogging up the main board.
Put it in the polls forum where it belongs.

And Tim didn't do them all in one go. I prefer one or two at a time and plus you can discuss them.

OK, then. My mistake. Too late for the first round, but I'll put the subsequent rounds in the polls forum,

That took two months. I'd rather have this done in a month, no reason to drag it out that long. Anyway, since Tim did the first round in groups of 8, and gave three days for each grouping, I guess I can leave the first round open for 10 days. That will give people more time to decide and post comments.
Then' If people really want, I can do the subsequent rounds in a similar fashion to what Tim did, doing only a few at a time instead of the entire round all at once. Sound good? Sorry for the screw-ups, I couldn't quite remember exactly how it was done last time.
Marc wrote: 10 days of a clustered first page :/
Do you want more time to discuss them, as you asked, or not? Make up your mind. If I could move them to the poll forum, I would.

Er, how about for clarity and so we can actually see threads that aren't to do with March Madness?
It's a fine idea but you should have waited to see what everyone else thought before you posted all those polls in one go. Now it's a bit daunting to see all those threads.
hear hear Wasim. I'm half way down the list and now I've had to go looking for some other threads just to take a break. And I shouldn't be here anyway, I should be doing my shopping which my kids will tell you is far more important :D

OLD MONKEY- TIM. Possible to un- Lock the past threads' Polls over in the 'other Forum. Might have- get new ideas and comments. And TEXAS - JEFF still hasn't un- Locked the 'Turn thread. In Music For Pleasure or the State of the Nation Forum.
Bloody hell! Go away for the weekend and come back to find more polls than the Italian Parliamentary elections!
They've all gone to "State of the Nation" now, their rightful home. The problem with posting so many polls at once is that it pisses people off, including me, as I've just had to spend 10 minutes moving them. 
It also looks as it was a bit too soon to do this type of thing again, as the voting numbers are pretty much 50% of what we had last time. Last year people were voting straightaway, if the poll was open for more than 4 or 5 days the voting numbers didn't go up at all, and with them being pretty low now after 3 or 4 days I don't think they are going to increase. Never mind.

Thank you for moving them for me, OM. Sorry again about the screw up!
Yeah, it probably was too soon to do it again, but with March Madness here in the states, I got carried away! There maybe be a few upsets, though, with some new members here and perhaps some peoples' tastes changing slightly, plus since I seeded the songs based on previous poll results, the matchups will be different plus the two most poplular teams should make the finals this time, instead of the fourth most popular song (Regret) making the final. But, we shall see!
