Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[popbitcher]

whats happened to unofficial mills? no one posts much about the show and scott never mentions us. we never did end up with that chat we were going to have either! i think nihal and greg visit more than scott does now :shock:

[Rik]

Your Views seems more popular when Jono is around, Yesterday it was fairly busy but nothing happened today. I think maybe someone should be elected to help keep YV active (keep posting to encourage responses) if Jono is at Uni or wherever.

And TOWDS said that the livechat should happen after they had finished covering breakfast the last time. You should take that up with him

and Aled and TOWDS...

I agree with everything above. 'Tis a shame that YV/UM appears to be so dependent on Jono's presence, as fond as I am of him, I wish we could get on without him when he's busy or otherwise occupied.

Problem is I think most people on here are getting stuck into their studies at the moment, and far be it for me to stand in their way.:|

[Rob]

I agree but that's probably because I'm mostly on here at school instead of gaining A levels... PLus I'm quite new here so this is pretty much as busy as I know it.

[Grace]

I blame Grace.

[popbitcher]

maybe scott thinks he is bigger than us

[Lucinda]

Yeah I get what you mean, it used to be busier in the (g?)olden days. Back when JJ was posting in your views especially.

Sadly these days I am busy busy and am only on here when I'm procrastinating. As enjoyable as Scott's show is, I find it distracting when I have serious work to do, which is a lot of the time now unfortunately, but I do listen when I get the chance.

[callum]

wasnt it a conspiracy theory that JJ was a character invented by jono to get more people posting ? lol i think jono should hand over the power to someone else now hes had a good run of managing the site. like me !

[DC]

jono is 75% of the people on here, even me.

[Rob]

When Jono does press-ups, he isn't pressing up he is pushing the world down.

isn't the phrase supposed to be "dull as dish water"?

[Lucinda]

isn't the phrase supposed to be "dull as dish water"?

Possibly. I don't find ditch water particularly exciting myself though, so the phrase works. I can guarantee there'll be a Journal of Ditch Water Research out there and lots of ditch water obsessed academics who get very excited by it. Probably some in my geography department who do actually.

I may have been on the wine at the time of this post...

[Jono]

isn't the phrase supposed to be "dull as dish water"?

Well I thought so too but looks like it's both -

in the last two months UM ran out of bandwidth as it had been so popular & maybe it has been moving away from just being about Scott, which i think is a good thing i would rather it be based around the whole of radio-1 & not just one show (what would happen to us if Scott left radio-1 )

and Aled and TOWDS...

i don't see why it should be dependent on Jono being around all the time, & im not having a go here but i think that Jono should just relax a bit & let the site evolve, the site is here for the members after all

[Behelzebub]

i would rather it be based around the whole of radio-1 & not just one show (what would happen to us if Scott left radio-1 )

But the whole point of this site is supposed to be that it's a Scott Mills fansite... if Jono had intended it to be based solely around R1 he would have called it 'Unofficial Radio 1' or something along those lines.

I think it would be a good idea to have someone to keep Your Views up and running in Jono's absence, I can't as I'm very busy with uni work and don't get a lot of chances to listen but maybe someone who isn't quite as bogged down with school/college/uni work could.

yes i know that, but the site must evolve,

just lets say that Scott left Radio-1 & went to Capital, would everyone listen to Scott on there ?

i couldn't listen to him at my work or in the car, i could only do that at home either online or DAB, therefore i wouldn't listen to Scott anymore, not out of choice but i wouldn't be able to.

i have often thought about what would happen if Scott went.

i currently admin & mod a few sites, but i doubt Jono would want my help

judging by the quality of your arguments i think thats a scary thought for us all i am sure i am not alone in spotting the excessive usage of "&" !

Defo, I'd follow Scott onto any station. Capital only broadcasts to London on FM doesn't it?

[Jono]

It's just the forum crunch. It'll be back to normal in three weeks time.

[Lucinda]

It's a dangerous path, criticising other people's posting styles. Especially spelling, grammar and capitalisation.

I'm not sure what would happen to the site if Scott left to go to another station. I guess the Scott Mills section and the Radio 1 section would be independent of each other but would hopefully still continue.

If he left to retire or something, it would be a little weird to continue a forum about specifically him.

[Viv]

I've been finding the actual show with Scott a bit repetitive lately, so it's difficult to come up with topics. That will no doubt all change, I guess.

Actually, I've notised the show discussion has slowed dow, even when the shows on

I attempted to encourage posting to make a discussion, but no-one seemed to bother at all so I gave up and don't do it anymore. If we're using well known phrases: "I can lead you horses to water, but I can't make you drink..."

Hence the name 'Capital'

I'm not sure if i'd follow Scott on to another station, especially if it was commercial. He would probably only go for a breakfast slot and i'm not turning on the computer in the morning!

Nah I wouldn't do a morning show, I'd get his podcasts though if he still did them
