I know this has been discuessed to death but what is the reason for no music board? Maybe even incorporate music with the M/TV board?

And since there is no music board...if I have a music/band related topic what is the best place to bring it up? OT or M/TV?

once upon a time, i campaigned for one. i don't really want one any more. the ot is a good place to talk about music, and the movie/tv board is as well, although, i'm sure it's not encouraged by the admins.

How would one regulate illegal downloading and file sharing?

i don't think the two necessarily go hand in hand, but this is why i don't advocate the board any longer. i don't want td to get hit with a 400 trillion dollar lawsuit because 35 users obtained the joshua tree via the music board

Exactly.

And I think that's what the boys in the big offices think...I think.

Didn't think about that. I would hope people would use the board for music discussion and not try to download files...but this is the Internet after all. Still I've seen people post links to whole albums on the OT etc. I know creating a board isn't easy and like I said this has been brought up before

I think it's one of those boards that sounds great on the surface, but winds up being, meh, after a month or two.

Kinda like Hornets Talk.

I don't have access to the stats, but I would think that it certainly has to be the mouton of the Boards.

I don't know, the same way you enforce regulations on any other board?

Bitch.

We are already at board capacity. In order for us to have another, we'd have to change the name of another board.

The Captain voted.


Thumbs down. I'm sorry.

I still say that we could just condense it all into "Outdoor" and "Shut-in" boards.

Outdoor

Ticket Exchange

Shut-in

Every other board

You might retort, "But... why doesn't the outdoor board file into the outdoor board?" But that's why you're not a master forum arranger.

I said essentially the same thing but punctuated it with a crushing blow to Rummel's masculinity.

No chance of this happening. At all. It would be just as good if not better than the M/TV board.

There isn't rampant file sharing in the music threads as is, and there are a lot of them.
maybe give it a probationary period and promote someone to admin also on probationary period.

The file sharing argument against a music board is totally mertiless and absurd.
