Quote:Asim Da, I am going to play devil's advocate here:
Some of it depends on members too. Members can still post songs and comment here though. Also, I keep wondering what happened to the SOW committee???
I concur, 100%. Harshal had been AWoL for a long time now. Yet, members kept this place alive. We at point didn't even care if Taranaa produced tracks or not, we still sang on non-Taranaa tracks, & participated in SoWs. Harshal neither objected nor stopped us from keeping this place going, even w/non-Taranaa songs. So, he cannot be blamed for 100%. It's us, the members (including myself), who somehow somewhere lost interest completely, & abandoned Taranaa. Many left even when Taranaa was super-active. Some buy subscriptions only for tracks, to sing elsewhere, which is perfectly fine. The rest of use bought subscriptions, & played here too. Somehow, for personal reasons, we lost interest to keep the Forum going. That's our fault. SoW cannot do a thing if people do not participate.
I think at this point Harshal should shut down the subscription server, & announce on the main page something like:
NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS/RENEWALS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AT TARANAA. THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVER HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN. This would alleviate confusions to any new or old members, to proceed w/their renewals or new subscriptions. Last time when Harshal surfaced, he made it clear that Taranaa is more of a hobby & less of a business to him anymore. And that's exactly what the man is doing.
Regards,
Asim
