And when I post things here I'm lucky to get 2 relies.
One of the best compliments I saw on the boards was someone said "I can rely on you to post a video I would thoroughly enjoy. You open me up to so much new music." (not exact words but something like that.) I think it would great if someone has so much musical knowledge that people can rely on them to discover new music.

The forum in it's halcyon days was the place to be cause it was a place where someone could rely on a member to file share an album he/she was looking for. But now there are so many music services out there MB lost that aspect. Then Music Banter went into critical mode, where all you can do it to critique music -- music that could be found on other sites like YT or Spotify. Somehow I think MB is past "critical mode" and is now in "conversational lounge mode." Perhaps "critical mode" and "conversational lounge mode" existed concurrently at the same time, it's just the music critiquing has faded into the background.
