Again, sorry if this has been said a million times over (I'm new here), but I thought it would be worth mentioning.
I agree with you, and I'm sure many others do too, but the truth is that very narrowly focused forums generally don't get enough traffic here to warrant standing on their own. That's why we ended up with "Country, Folk & World Music" as a single forum. The good new is that "Rock & Metal" pretty much is a metal forum anyway. There aren't all that many threads in there that aren't metal-related in some way.

Welcome aboard by the way! It's always nice to have another metal fan around.
