A warning?
^ This is exactly what I think an up-and-coming musician would want from a forum! You just gave MuzicForums the best promotion possible, Duce!
(Plus, they have the games!)
I actually haven't looked at MuzicForums' promotion section, other than to note it exists, but I
do know that at least one of the MuzicForums moderators is a professional musician who earns his living playing and teaching music, which I learned from my conversations with him. He's very knowledgeable about music.
EDIT: Okay, I just took a look at the MuzicForums website and read this about their promotion section:
"Forum Title: Promotional Material
Forum Description: Promote your band, music website, or anything related to music. No spamming please!
Sub-Forums: Promote Your Bands Myspace, Articles, News, Concert Information"
Surprisingly, there actually doesn't seem to be a lot of activity in this section of MuzicForums' site. For example, most of the promotional threads that people started on the first page have only 15 views and no replies/comments. And the thread designated "Promote Your Bands Myspace" currently only has 481 threads and 920 posts.
So this shows what happens when you have a bunch of people together each of whom wants to promote herself or himself: not much conversation!
Yet it also shows that allowing promotion of bands on a forum doesn't seem to cause a massive influx of musicians aimed at self-promotion. Of course, MuzicForums is a smaller forum than MusicBanter; if *we* had a promotion section, perhaps more musicians and those who want to promote bands would flock here, drawn by the lure of our small horde of devoted music listeners.
