It's weird, i often think of making a new a thread but then i start thinking how members will interpret the subject AND if the subject has been done to death like all those "Mainstream music" sucks threads and by the end, i over think it so much i don't do anything at all.
Same here. I think of threads and let them go and someone else post nearly the same. I was going to do a thread about short lived closed threads e.g. http://www.musicbanter.com/lounge/80...-happened.html but Trollheat beat me to it, although his includes both open and closed threads. Another example was I started a thread that kinda died early about celebrities who recently passed away in the Media forum, it was replaced by Vanilla RIP thread in the Lounge. I like Vanilla's title better and it made more sense to include anyone famous, not just celebrities. My all time favorite thread I made that vanished was about Beatles coversongs. From my point of view it was more about the bands that did the coversongs more so than just another Beatles thread, but I guess someone in high places thought otherwise. To see that thread disappeared killed my desire to make any threads at all.
