Urban Hat€monger ?

I think the problem with the lounge is that it`s too small to cover everything else other than music.

If I was to for example start a thread on some book or film chances are after a couple of days it`ll get buried under hundreds of attention whoring posts.Then if anybody new comes along who has an opinion on it , they won`t see it.

If the non music side of the forum was more cohesive topics on certain subjects would be easier to find & discuss. Have a sports forum , have a tv , film & books forum , have a news forum , have an unmoderated forum for all the attention whoring posts where people can mess around & get to know one another without fear of moderators telling them to stay on topic.

I visit the Doctor Who forums at Outpost Gallifrey on a regular basis , they have 11 forums on the subject of Doctor Who & 6 forums that are not , non of the other 6 forums detract from the other 11. That forum has only been going around 3 years longer than this one , at this moment in time there are approx 350 active members posting.... Right this minute.

Now you can`t honestly tell me that music is less popular than Doctor Who.

See , it`s all about keeping people there & making a community spirit when they don`t want to talk about the main subject.
