that'd be cool.
i mean you can already post one if you want but i don't see any. so making a sub-forum would create more of those. and it would help people out.

There isn't even a thread on it so I don't see what the point of starting a whole forum for them would be.

Secondly, emo/screamo is a genre that is not only somewhat difficult to get into, but also has very few knowledgable fans on the interwebz. Due to our forum having a large collection of intelligent skramz fans, I think it would be benificial to us and mb as a whole to have a thread where interested posters can come to get sound advice and obscure music.

The sharing threads being removed had little to do with the whole RIAA thing and more to do with musicbanter's owners. At the time the current owners had just taken over and we asked what their position on filesharing was.
They said in no uncertain terms that it wasn't to be allowed, so all the sharing threads were deleted. I understand your point about it being relevantly underground, but where do you draw the line in what's allowed & what isn't? At what point of obscurity or fame do we allow or not allow links to be posted. It's too hazy & it's not really fair to people who listen to other genres of music.
That's why there's a blanket ban on all of it.
