Suggestion: A reduced number of forums

I'll think about it. Maybe they can help you out with better understanding what you're advocating for as well.

Get a room, you two!

I've tweaked my suggestion somewhat and will edit my first post as well with my updated suggestion. The biggest tweak is an additional music forum specifically to discuss releases, like upcoming album releases or album reviews. I've also divided the general discussion forums into two separate secions (music and off-topic).

My amended suggestion is as follows:

Musicbanter forums

• Music section
  • Artists corner - For discussions on music production, equipment, songwriting, etc.
  • General music - For general discussions related to musical arts and artists
  • Releases forum - For threads relating to specific releases like album reviews, etc.

• Off-topic section
  • Media corner - Discussions on non-music media like books, movies & video games
  • Philosophy - For discussions on religion, morals, science, the nature of reality, etc.
  • The Lounge - For general discussions that would be off-topic in the above forums

• Community section
  • Introductions - New members can introduce themselves here
  • Member journals - Members can create their journals here

• Admins section
  • Announcements & feedback - Mods and admins announcements and members feedback
  • Archive - Threads that have been locked down

You may find the analogy condescending, but consider it. If any one of us get too rowdy in any way, he or she gets quieted by one or more other members. From Advameg's point of view, the MB community as a whole doesn't make much in the way of demands, is well behaved and requires little to no maintenance. All the while creating content and enough activity to generate visitors and some income from ad clicks.

It's a relationship where we're working for Advameg, especially the mods, and they have the luxury of giving us basically nothing in return for the last 10-15 years.

It just doesn't sit right with me.

does this place even run ads?

I don't recall ever seeing one, maybe it's my ad blocker

It does for people who aren't logged in.
