That is a really great idea! That's the one thing I've been missing out on discussing here 'cause I love going to live shows. Hence why I created a members journal about it.

The 'Talk Instruments' section is pretty much where a lot of the discussion about your own band is. Would it be neater and easier if we had a thread of general discussion/questions about your own amateur band, without promotion? Also if we could make a non-promotion discussion forum on ways to work with your band, good music to start off with, but not actually promoting your band because there is a big chance we get some gay spammers. I know it's walking a thin line back to the old promotion forums which was a failure, but it would make a lot of amateur musicianship discussion a lot easier to find than searching through 3 different sections for help.

The original plan was to have Talk Instruments & Stereo & Production Equipment forums merged to basically incorperate all that sort of thing in one forum.

But then Yac told us that merging forums together isn't possible without a load of complications so the idea was dropped.

I'd also like to see more than someone's last 1000 posts if possible.

It was only 100 till I asked for it to be raised.

FaSho · 11-10-2008, 08:21 PM

Ahh so it CAN be raised then?

Urban Hat€monger ? · 11-10-2008, 08:22 PM

Don't hold your breath. It's only just been raised to that

About 2 years after I first asked.

Please, PLEASE, limit the size of avatars and signatures, because the different enormous or tiny avatars deform the website.

It looks fine on my 17 inch display.

I hate all restriction, but this would be an aesthetically pleasing implementation.
