The reason I think it's hard to set up a forum in the Netherlands is that it will be stuffed with dumb people in some of the forums (especially R&B/Trance, can't help it...). They will come to forums about other genres and tell other people their taste sucks and so on.
I am really amazed by the mutual respect of the music listeners on this forum. It doesn't matter what you listen to, you will get a great deal of respect for being a music enthusiast, unless (and I think there's a good reason for that) you just listen to top 40 music or 'whatever is on at the radio at that point'.

I am a bit worried whether a similar atmosphere will be present at another forum...
