Ok...the moved thread thing is starting to tick me off...
 
This is a GENERAL music forum.

Why can't we discuss all types of music here? I see many genres discussed and debated here and can't quite understand why the mods choose to single out some over others.

Mods?

Um general music is for music threads that don't fit into the other genre forums...it's quite simple really.

Flip McLovin 02-16-2008 11:38 PM

I see alternative, pop, power pop, post rock, and others. I don't think anyone should exclude based on genre in a General forum.

I don't like being directed I guess. Flip's too damn old for that ****.

Was this really worth making a thread over?

Yes, you all see country, folk and world which is where threads on roots/country-related things should go.

Yeah, why does it really matter?

It just really bugs me. There's really no sense in moving a thread. If no one wants to respond then it's most likely that the poster won't repeat the thread. But General should be a catch all for all genres.

I just have a real problem with the whole moving thing without any input or discussion. I don't mean to be a jerk about it...it's simply how I feel.

while your feelings are understandable,....
i hate being moved myself,...

if threads werent moved, and catagories didnt matter EVERYTHING would be in general,....and it would be hell wadeing through it all

If you put a country thread in General Music it'll just get buried due to the number of threads that get started in there.

If you put it in the country forum it'll stay near the top a lot longer & people who like that sort of thing are more likely to find it.

I understand but my point is (respectfully) that I put it where I wanted it for a reason. And if it gets buried it gets buried but I like not having my threads forced into a category someone else feels is best for it.

You feel me?

I'll leave this alone now because if you don't get my point you're not going to and we're not going to agree.

Thanks for listening,
Flip
