Close the music forum

[anon]

But the games forum gets legitimate threads some of the time.
And if you post a question there, you will get legitimate responses as well.

Then you could close all the threads ccs434 has posted on today, I guess.

Can't say how the music section is, I've never had any interest in going in there.

Have a look at the amount of "thread locked" icons.

I see. Haven't been there in a while...

I'll have to take a look, and will discuss what to do with the team.

I strongly favor other forms of media over music. That said though, the music section belongs here. Music is one of the major draws to file-sharing. If the section disappeared, newcomers would ask, "Hey, why don't you have a music forum?"

It is a lot easier to have a discussion about a movie than it is an album. It seems difficult for 90% of the members here to manage that. I wish people were more willing/able to put thought into things they claim to enjoy, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the file-sharing demographic.

If the music section is nothing more than a spam haven, then let it be that. There's no harm in it. People looking to get their required 10 post in, will do so AND be just as easy to spot no matter where they decide to post them.

It's obvious that it's only being used so traders can meet the X number of posts needed to trade or access pms or whatnot. Might as well trash it completely, no brain activity present there anymore.

I find this to be an odd post from a person who loves music such as yourself, although I sympathize with your BT standpoint.
As I will agree that the level of conversation there is below average, and does appear to be a gateway for free posts.

The way I see it....

If we remove the music forum, then people seeking higher post counts will simply take their meaningless conversations elsewhere on the board...

In the end.. I believe it will solve nothing.

....and we would have no link to the last.fm group , which you should all join btw

*TrueSounds your pm box is full btw...

Then we could very well close all FST sections and leave the lounge, where it is encouraged.

If it's that bad, I can try to post there. Fact is my music taste is very different than TrueSounds (we both hate trance, though), so he may label my posts as spam.

I say keep the section. Traders will spam to 10 posts regardles of how many sections we have and how (in)active they are.

Exactly!

Minimum 10 posts rule in those sections? That would prevent newcomers to spam there, so a part of the meaningless conversations would gone (im not sure that the other part would spam or not).

[C-mos]

remove it.

And the movie section

The movie section will never be removed. That's my section!!
