Ban me for disagreeing with the clique? Brilliant.

I've said many, many times that I'm not going to put time and effort into making threads that are likely to get me attacked and reduce incentive from moderators to change the site's atmosphere. No matter how many threads senior members make, new or sensitive people (mostly women, I suppose) are unlikely to participate enough given the level of meanness on MB. Nobody can force me to start threads, just like you can't purely wish activity from people outside the clique.

I regularly view just a few sub-forums here. The Pop section doesn't seem more active. Not sure about Rock, which is more important. General Music possibly is the most important part of the site, the part making the biggest impression on members who aren't already dedicated to Music Banter - and as I said, it's not improving.
