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. :unsure:

Well.. maybe you're right.. but then you may as well trash the trading section as well.. Because.. that's not gonna stop them either. Trashing music forum doesn't make sense. :ermm:
Have you forgotten about lounge? :eyebrows: That's even a more haunting place for traders.
Personally, I don't think, it should go. This place would feel incomplete. I mean how can you keep movies and other sections going on and just exclude the music section.
And this means, that we're giving up to the traders' actions. We're just giving up something to diminish their "post count"? :blink:
Well.. If this happens, then I don't doubt that one day, I'll see Cabalo in an irc taking interview of people before letting them registering. :dabs:
Sorry, if I seemed rude, but that's how I feel. :mellow:
If your reason for posting is your post count, then you're posting for the wrong reasons.Quote:

Ok.. as others stated above, then you should close the games and movies section as well. I mean, like in games section.. those "PES or FIFA", one has to write just one word for a post to be counted.
@ Disme : Well.. Sometimes, you can see quite a number of trolls there as well..
and what about forum games? Aren't they like gateway to heaven for traders?
But it's the lounge! :OQuote:

The music section was pretty dead anyway. If it weren't for those spam count posts, the last post done at the section would have been months old. So it's actually, today, a ghost town.
It's not hurting the board either to have it there...
But the games forum gets legitimate threads some of the time.Quote:

Can't say how the music section is, I've never had any interest in going in there.
Then you could close all the threads ccs434 has posted on today, I guess.Quote:

Have a look at the amount of "thread locked" icons. :lol:
I see. Haven't been there in a while...Quote:

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.
I find this to be an odd post from a person who loves music such as yourself, although I sympathize with your BT standpoint.Quote:

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 :happy: , 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.Quote:

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! :yup:Quote:

remove it. ;)
The movie section will never be removed. That's my section!! :angry:Quote:
