It seems the only nights that do well are of the cheap and cheerful varity or the uber-big line-up type and even then there's no guarantee it'll do well.
I tend to go for quality,always trying to put together line-ups that I would get excited about, heard on a system that does the music justice and this is an ethos echoed by a few other nights around the city to varying degrees of success. I wish everyone the best and try and do what I can not to clash and to make sure all these events survive but it's inevitable that some will fall by the wayside (only to be replaced by new nights undoubtedly)
I don't know what the solution is but the community is beginning to try to work together more and more and this can only be a good thing: Long live the Manchester Dubsteppaz

A simple solution would be for the dubstep community as you said to work together more. I mean they manage it within the dnb community around manchester, you very rarely if ever get two big dnb nights on in manchester and I can only asume this is due to comunication between the organisers or just common sense after you hear someone else is putting a big night on avoid putting something on the same night. But then I guess club availabilty comes into it and stuff like that. Anyway thats just my two cents nothing you probly didnt already know
it took Metropolis moving to Leeds, Platoon disappearing somewhat, and a load of nights ending for the new ones to come through, and now it seems just as it always was, with Soulution replacing the Audiosalad vibe and Oh My God and some other bulllcrap nights doing the work of Metropolis
Manc's scene weird, theres just enough locals to keep the bigger nights going and just enough students who stick to their own nights to keep the small nights going, just hope we dont end up with another Metropolis providing the same line ups year in year out... that said though they had N-type, Distance and Joker in the little room at thelast Leeds Metropolis, so someones telling him who to book!
thing is, if you could stick Ntype, Distance and Joker on a lineup here in a smaller club and promoted it properly you could have a night on your hands
last night in manc i went was the Deep Medi party at Basscamp and yeh, there was a few hundred people there but the venue if im honest seemed a bit shit (looking forward to checking out Sound Control) and there didnt seem much of a vibe there, and for Deep Medi you'd expect a fully rammed venue at least, i duno tho, been a while since ive been out in manchester regularly anyway!
