Might as well keep it as is then, since the regulars talk about music anyway and admins don't whack the threads.
Exactly. Is all this trouble really about a title? If people want this to be an "Entertainment Board" so bad, just use this board in that fashion. There's been a mega-thread here for months on music. No need to have more boards that people don't check that will get half a page of threads per day.

As it is you've got two options on where you want to discuss music--this board or the OT--depending on what kind of tone you want the discussion to have.

Well in that case, let's not have any board at all. And I'm thinking a music board would attract far more attention than the gaming board or fark board, or world cup board. Money talk is useful, but underused.

The gaming and fark boards serve really distinct purposes and the world cup board is a temporary board that was put in place really to preserve another board from being flooded with soccer topics and to prevent every WC topic from degenerating into a shouting match between the "Soccer is the best sport in the world and the real football and anyone who doesn't understand is an ignorant savage" crowd and the "soccer is gay; their fans are a bunch of euro-trash fairies" crowd. I'm not sure what led to the "money talk" board but I never go there.

Music isn't that distinct is all I'm saying. I don't see a flood of threads on this board. If you want to start music topics and have an intelligent discussion, have them here. They fit naturally and you've got a good crop of posters here who will have intelligent, spirited discussions about them.

Again, it's not my site so my opinion is just one opinion, but while you were starting a thread on here asking why there is no music board--which is asked every month on the help board--why not just start a thread about the music topic you want to talk about and see how it goes?

Or, alternately, the Kiss thread.

I'm keeping track of the things Baloo hates, so that when we have "Admin Appreciation Day," our present will be a video for Baloo.

We have a gaming board. I think more people listen to music than play video games. Same for fantasy sports


It not a function of how many people are involved, but how much there is to talk about it on a DAILY basis.

Because I have a feeling my Lady Gaga threads would be more appreciated in a music-specific board dammit.

It's not like there is a release of new music every Tuesday or anything.

T entertainment?
Music/Artist Dicussion?

Or...

They could just make a lounge or Cafe, were people could talk about Music,Travel, and other topics that have no reference. Instead of just creating a music Board. And they could create a user playlist for tigerdroppings.com... That would show all the artist user info, in Lousiana or state depending on where you lived.

Tiger Lounge.

While I enjoy the music threads in the M/Tv board, I think that an actual Music board is necessary. There's probably a lot of people that think no one will read their obscure music recommendation or thread on the OT or movie board so they just don't post. I really think it would take the reigns as the 3rd most posted in board. JMO.

Its not the frequency of release.

I said it was the issue of something to talk about.

The guy who I was responding to said that there would be more discussion about music than games (which also has new releases every tuesday).

What would most of the music threads consist of?

"Did you like that new album that came out by xxx?"

"Yeah"
"Yeah"
"xxx fricking sucks, yyy is better"
"frick you"
/thread

Just not enough posters with "informed, universal" interest to justify a whole new board. Gaming/Money/Food and Drink/World Cup/Oil Rig, Fantasy sports, MSB, were all formed because those topics kept threatening to overwhelm some base forum at some time or another.

The most frequent music related thread I see (Which comes out once every couple of weeks), are "what are you listening to now?" threads on the OT.
