As part of the promotion of Premier Wedding Discos, I'm in the process of creating a new website.  It's far from finished but I'm going to throw it open to everyone to check it out and offer their opinions on the layout, format, and content (of which there isn't much yet but this will soon change!).

The linky is:
http://www.weddingdisco.viviti.com/

Have a look at the site and post your opinions.  With the help of everyone on here, we aim to make it the best wedding disco website in the land!  (And, of course, the ideas people give can be shared by everyone - that's the purpose of the forum, after all!)

In the next couple of months, Lightning Disco & Entertainment are going to put the forum out to the entire world with a big internet promotion campaign to drive up visitor and member numbers.  

In order to achieve our aim of making this forum one of the best on the web, and not just in our industry, we need some help.  We're not asking for any major commitment from anyone.  We just want responsible people who can look out for posts that don't meet our family-friendly standards and moderate them.  There are a number of safeguards built in to the forum itself but there's nothing like the human eye and mind to pick up on things that programming code may have missed and apply a bit of common sense.  You don't have to pledge any amounts of time spent on the forum.  It's a role that you do when you have some spare time and come on the forum.

If anyone wants any more info, feel free to PM me.  Then, we can discuss the role in a bit more detail.  

And, before anyone asks, there's no financial reward involved.  Your reward is to be an active part on one of the future greatest forums the web has ever seen!  That and the satisfaction of knowing that you're making a difference and making the forum better, and safer, for everyone who uses it!  ]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:51:49 Dazzy 'D' http://www.lightningdisco.co.uk/forum1/Blah.pl?m-1212922814/ http://www.lightningdisco.co.uk/forum1/Blah.pl?m-1212922814/#num1 After a spate of spam attacks on the threads on this forum, we have taken the drastic step to stop Guest users posting comments.  We haven't taken this decision lightly as we felt that everyone should be able to leave comments but, sadly, spammers have prevented us from allowing this.

We believe that this spam has been sent by zombie pcs as opposed to anyone sending it deliberately so we haven't barred any particular name/I.P address in case these people want to join legitimately.  

Guests can easily join.  It's simply a case of clicking on the relevant button on the menu bar and entering a few details.  You will be sent an email which you need to respond to in order to activate your membership and that's it!

We must point out, however, that anyone caught posting spam will be barred from the forum completely.

We make no apologies for taking this course of action as we want this forum to be safe for everyone and the type of spam that has been posted was in bad taste and has no place here.]]> Sun, 8 Jun 2008 12:00:14 Dazzy 'D' http://www.lightningdisco.co.uk/forum1/Blah.pl?m-1208684334/ http://www.lightningdisco.co.uk/forum1/Blah.pl?m-1208684334/#num1

Was just surfing the web and came across this little community.

I work in the wedding industry and have worked alongside many mobile discos over the years.  I just thought I could join your forum and give another perspective - another opinion - to the situations that affect us all.  Maybe I could learn some of you a thing or two and I certainly look forward to learning from you in the future.

Best wishes

I'm Dazzy 'D' (aka Darren!) and I'm the chief forum administrator around here.  But I thought I'd just tell you all a bit about myself so you can feel you know me better.

At the time of posting, I'm 32 years of age (in DJ land this makes me a pensioner!).  I am a dad to 2 (Liam aged 2 and Katie, 1) and we all live with my partner Anne and her daughter Chloe.  All in all, it's a bit of a mad house really!

I run Lightning Disco & Entertainment, one of the regions most popular mobile disco & karaoke operators (going by the number of bookings we've been getting lately).  We provide entertainment for all occasions but I prefer to do the family parties, especially weddings, as I feel more comfortable with these than the pub nights.  

I've been DJing since 1999 when I started doing work for another local business, Rising Star, run by Kev.  I honed my style here and then started up Lightning cos I felt I had something more to offer.  Lightning is a family three-way partnership with myself, my dad and my brother, Lee.  Working together, we have built up quite a business.

I'm not just a DJ/KJ though.  I recently started work as a civil servant with a nice little 9-5 office job which frees up my weekend to the disco work.  It's also a good regular wage so I don't have to rely on the discos too much especially if we hit any quiet periods.

My aims in life are to be happy and keep doing what I enjoy.  I also want to help other DJs/KJs to improve the way they work and, in turn, raise the profile of our industry and also improve the publics perception of us.  I feel that, in achieving this, everyone will benefit.

Anyway, I am always open to questions so if there's anything you want to know about me, about Lightning or about anything else connected to our industry, just ask and I'll do my best!
