Musicbanter Improvement Thread (rock, album, Kiss, quote, Lute)

I'd be down with a collective mediafire account. If we wanted to upgrade I'd have no problem chipping in.

As for improvements I think providing users with a custom @musicbanter.com e-mail address would be nifty.

Please, PLEASE, limit the size of avatars and signatures, because the different enormous or tiny avatars deform the website.

I hate all restriction, but this would be an aesthetically pleasing implementation.

I would like to try the mediafire account again.

Music forums are always going to be really difficult. Either:
1.) It devolves into "Thin Lizzy Sucks", "No Thin Lizzy Rocks", which is a complete waste of time. Certainly most people who like music no there are no absolutes and saying something "sucks" is equivalent to "doesn't click with me."
2.) It doesn't devolve and turns into a boring love fest with no conversation where everyone agrees to the rectitude of everyone else's preferences and there's no discussion.

I think the key is to go for relativism. The new X album rocks/sucks is kind of a pointless discussion, but "is Destroyer awesome-er than every other KISS album put together?" is something people can discuss without being adversarial. How you encourage that kind of discussion is a separate matter of course.
