I was thinking about it last night. And I did it for one of my other forums a long time ago. They'll be more like archives but I think it'd be more creative to consider them a "Library of Threads [Name of music section]".

I could easily take care of it and would take a bit of time but it would get done, no doubt about that.

Just wanted some thoughts.

And if you're wondering about format, this is what it'd look like:

The only help I would need from the mods is to lock the threads when they're completed and possibly sticky them. But I don't want to ask too much before I get thoughts on the idea.

Feel free to vote in the poll as well. That'll give me a more direct point of view as to whether I should go through with it or not.

So, I suppose i'll just go ahead and start doing these then. I have no idea how long it'll take until they are all completed considering how big some of the sections are. But they'll get done. I'm working on Classical at the moment.

I think that's actually a pretty good idea. While we do have a search function, it's quirky at best.
As for whether the threads should be closed, I'm thinking it might make your job a little easier if they remain open, so others can post links for you to add to the main post, and you'll be editing the main post when new threads are created anyway, so you'll need to have access to it.

That's a good point. Than go ahead and leave the threads open. I should have Classical done either by tonight or tomorrow.

And thus, the Classical forum library of threads was born:

Hey, this is a really great idea Milano. I appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this. I'll sticky the threads for you.

This is a very good idea in regards to official threads of artists, and common topics.

EDIT: Please don't make me do it.

You don't gotta do it, Ped

I got it covered.

As I said, it will take some time. But I can get it done.
