Re "troll" and variations thereof, okay then, just cut down on usage of the word (moderators lead the way). But please delete pictures of the creatures.

My idea that no one should dislike:
Track down interesting old music threads that are long, have been active within the past three years, mostly stay on topic, are low in conflict, and possibly could be discussed anew. Then make an index to those threads in a sticky in the General Music sub-forum. Also, anyone could personally bump those threads, if there's something worthwhile to add.

So your suggestion is:

1. Disregard an idea that the majority supports, because it doesn't work for you specifically and distracts attention from ideas you like.

2. Say "troll" less, and delete pictures of trolls.

3. Have someone index old threads they think are interesting and fit a criteria while disregarding the fact that when people discuss things they're interested in that already exist, we routinely link them back to the original thread. So basically, try to foresee what people will be interested in and allow them to access it all in a thread (On the off chance that they want to discuss that thing) instead of letting them use the search feature.

I'm not trying to be snarky or anything. I'm legitimately wondering whether or not this is accurate in your perspective, and if not, please explain.
