I think many members are here to promote or hear about lesser known bands but they are also upfront about listening to some mainstream music too.

Couldn't agree more.
What attracted me to this forum was the lack of mainstream taste without an obvious elitist overtone.
I enjoyed coming here because at the time the site was populated with individuals who shared an interest in a wide choice of music.
I was always impressed especially by some of the younger members who showed great knowledge and appreciation for music that quite clearly didn't belong to their generation.
A trait this site still has but not as evident as say 5 years ago.
I was going to make a long list of what it is I think of MB members, but then I realised I'd probably only include the members who've been here for years due to the fact that the personalities of the latest batch are below my radar as I don't pay as much notice to this place as I once did.
It would serve me better would I spill my guts about what I thought about MB today compared to how it used to be.
But then I'd have to leave!
