Even one of our staple members (i.e. GuitarBizarre) was frustrated at one point and felt like leaving (though I don't know for sure if it was because of the drama). I practically begged him not to leave.



Yes, I agree I would also like to see duga do some statistical analyses at the 40 non-spamming members of 2013 who tried to start music discussion to find out just what the heck happened.




If new members have some skin issues I don't think you should be bringing it up that they use Proactive.

That's "winding people up" right there. A common reaction many people on this site get to thoughtful posts, and then some wonder why fights erupt and serious music discussion isn't attempted much Moderators need to make/enforce rules against posts like that and issue warnings (or worse) for them.

Meanwhile, for all the talk about senior members now making more threads about music, I don't see any overall increase in activity in the General Music section.

This schtick is getting boring. There has been a noticeable increase in music talk with several threads concentrating on uploading and discussing various aspects of their music libraries. You must get tired always running around in your head in circles.

You're not looking hard enough. It's not only the General Music section but the other sections and subforums as well. I don't know anything about what you like to listen to so I hope to see more posts from you in the music sections just so I can satisfy my curiosity haha.

You have done absolutely nothing for this community other than cry crocodile tears about not getting your own way in a discussion. You want to see changes? Start with your attitude.

Several other people, including myself, have said this time and again. The message doesn't seem to be getting through.

Ban me for disagreeing with the clique? Brilliant.

I've said many, many times that I'm not going to put time and effort into making threads that are likely to get me attacked and reduce incentive from moderators to change the site's atmosphere. No matter how many threads senior members make, new or sensitive people (mostly women, I suppose) are unlikely to participate enough given the level of meanness on MB. Nobody can force me to start threads, just like you can't purely wish activity from people outside the clique.

I regularly view just a few sub-forums here. The Pop section doesn't seem more active. Not sure about Rock, which is more important. General Music possibly is the most important part of the site, the part making the biggest impression on members who aren't already dedicated to Music Banter - and as I said, it's not improving.

I see what the previous posters mean about banging their heads against the wall with you. You want the forum to change and just expect others to change it for you. Try taking the initiative yourself and inject some life into the parts of the forum that interest you and btw you don't have to be a moderator to do so either.

I mentioned to you before, how the journals section of this forum is full of life and that's largely thanks to Trollheart. How about somebody called Sopsych doing the same thing on General Music or any other area of the forum that interests you, instead of constantly whining on here about getting things changed.
