i think i'd stop coming here if everything was lumped into a music board. there'd be too much crap i wouldn't want to read and i don't want to have to sift through pages. it would make it look like we talked about it more, but when it comes down to it, there'd just be people posting in "what are you listening to" inside of a really unorganized slop of threads.

I agree. The music boards don't need to be combined. They get relatively regular activity as it is, and this forum is a music forum, so its alright to have it spread out a little for each person's taste. I think that general discussion is hard to get because most of us here also post pretty regularly at PBS's GT where we know we'll get more hits if we post a thread there. Maybe to get more activity around all of the music boards, the admins can start a thread in each board entitled something along the lines of, "If you weren't a fan of <insert genre> before, listen to this..." This could put a sort of 'best of' in one thread where fans who aren't sure of the genre can listen to the music.

The recommend a music threads pretty much do that, maybe we should Archive them and start new ones.

those threads are kinda dumb IMO. if you like a song, and want to recommend it to people, post a thread about it so we can discuss it. then there will be *GASP* discussion! =D
or, if you're interested in the music, just lurk around the boards, if all goes planned you should be able to find some stuff you like. and then you can make threads "more like artist-x plz"
also, for the general discussion issue, i think pbs' gt sucks. that's a whole different story, but going along with that, the members here are a lot better at not sucking than the majority of the ones there. our GB isn't filled with "whats ur favorite movie" or ">insert news headline<" or "what member do you have a crush on"

Agreed. I think we should scrap the recommendation threads. 2.

And I'm not saying we need something that everyone can contribute to. I'm just thinking of a sticky thread that lists bands that kind of define the genre that can get people interested. Also, I only mentioned GT because a lot of the members here post threads in there instead of here. I didn't say we should be more like GT.

I think if you add an advertising board you would get a lot more members, mainly from ProBoards Support.

Features and a sexy new look. Have you considered the forum feature on the OTW Group on last.fm? I'd get more involved with the last.fm group if the forums were used?
: prepares to get destroyed :
Anyway, when I say features, I mean things like if I were to type some BB Code, I.E. [lasfmband]Innerpartysystem[/lastfmband] or [lastfmsong]Obsession[/lastfmsong] it would create a hyperlink to that band or songs last.fm page. Same for myspace and purevolume.
And what about tagging? Is there a way to add some sort of tagging feature to posts/topics.
This is a music discussion forum, so we should have more music specific features like 'Now Playing' and the last.fm Profile Icon available.This Town Your Grave - Innerpartysystem

The Last.FM tags is a good idea, I think we can implement that in the new version, sounds good. ;D
A working version of the Last.FM icon in the mini profile would be good too.
And yes Del, the forum jump, that too.
