Must be a parental point subsidy. ;) The folks in Austin feel your struggle.

austin guy? do you happen to know Donal Mohr, Get Off My Lawn Record, ex of austin?

I'm an eastern los angeles guy. I've only spent time in Austin once in my life, sadly. Great city. I was referring to Equipboard HQ, listed as Autsin, TX.

I don't think submitting gear to Equipboard brings any points, just like editing/revising submissions.

I thought the approval of it was what brought the points. There was a breakdown between the keyboard and the user in how the system worked. That was entirely this side.

You get +5 for each artist gear spotting imediately, but getting an additional +1 points after you've recieved your first 1 or 2 "correct" comments for each submission would be cool... it would also incentivize ppl to post with care and detail.

I'd definitely review more submisssions if I knew it was helping other users get points... even if it meant no extra points for me.

I try to make sure all my posts are accurate, and have either magazine/website interviews, or actual footage of the artist in question playing the instrument/talking about the instrument/advertising the instrument (for Mary Spender, this is particularly easy, as she's a YouTuber).

But aye, that would also encourage disucssion about the gear itself. Which hey, talking about gear is always fun. Then again, I pretty much won't shut up about gear once I start talking.

her name is really a bit of a misnomer since she gets so many demo units.... not that I can tlak, but my nameisn't spender and I just dropped some pretty serious loot redoing the home studio this week

Wasn't always that way with her. Hard work, regularity, and the voice of an angel got her where she is (I'm sure the fact she's an absolute stone-cold stunner doesn't hurt matters, either--oh my giddy aunt she's beautiful).

One day I hope to be able to do similar.

I guess in order to do that, I should probably start actually making content... /shrug Course, I lack the regularity, the voice of an angel, and I am by no means an attractive individual.

she's cute, yeah.... always helps

the content bit is very important too

Content is king. And I lack the focus to produce anything with any kind of regularity. My ADOLS (that's Attention Defi--OOHLOOKSHINEY) kind of precludes that. Even medicated, I just can't focus worth a damn for extended periods on any one project. That's why right now I've got like 5 half recorded songs, 2 art projects, 3-4 different works of fantasy/sci-fi I'm working on. I bounce between them at random, as the mood strikes, and there's just no way I could ever focus at all on doing a regular update channel lol
