I've tweaked my suggestion somewhat and will edit my first post as well with my updated suggestion. The biggest tweak is an additional music forum specifically to discuss releases, like upcoming album releases or album reviews. I've also divided the general discussion forums into two separate secions (music and off-topic).
My amended suggestion is as follows:
Musicbanter forums
- Music section
- Artists corner - For discussions on music production, equipment, songwriting, etc.
- General music - For general discussions related to musical arts and artists
- Releases forum - For threads relating to specific releases like album reviews, etc.
- Off-topic section
- Media corner - Discussions on non-music media like books, movies & video games
- Philosophy - For discussions on religion, morals, science, the nature of reality, etc.
- The Lounge - For general discussions that would be off-topic in the above forums
- Community section
- Introductions - New members can introduce themselves here
- Member journals - Members can create their journals here
- Admins section
- Announcements & feedback - Mods and admins announcements and members feedback
- Archive - Threads that have been locked down
