Thank you very much.

How about MB install a hypocrisy detector? Or some rule to help us know how off topic we may get before Urban calls us out on it and we get in t r o u b l e!

If people feel that none of the suggestions will be taken seriously by the management, then they will be tempted to turn the thread into running jokes that bash former members (like poor Cory) or current members...like that boob, right-track.

As Freebase and others said earlier, when they joked that the site should use holograms or hot pink, the owners appear to be too busy to make changes since the site brings in little revenue and gets by as it is.

So the question I think about is this: If the owners need MB to be more lucrative for them to implement improvements we'd like, how can we make the site more lucrative = entice more members to join and stay so that the owners can charge higher advertisement fees? How do we increase traffic?

I think it was right-track who suggested interviewing famous band members on MB, which I thought was a great idea. People might be sucked in by being able to ask questions of some musician they admire in her or his own thread.

So, does anyone know any famous musician who wants to set up shop here in her or his own thread and occasionally answer questions posed by fans and non-fans?

There must be a FEW famous musicians out there who would enjoy bantering with everyday people and would be brave enough to face them in a music community setting. And if famous people showed up on the site, then the owners would probably notice this and perhaps spruce up the place a bit! Give us visitor message notifications, for instance.

Vanilla, are you in the loop with Lady Gaga?

And Urban...you could ask your beloved band Muse to make an appearance!

Don't expect anything like that though ^
That idea was in the context of a forum far removed from the format we have now.
I doubt very much if Admin would allow such a radical change to the one I had in mind at the time.
In fact it would be a complete waste of time even asking. For something like that to happen it would require an Admin fully involved and interactive with this site and one that had the future of MB as a priority. I suspect they are more than happy to maintain the status quo.

If I was in the loop with Lady Gaga she'd be in my bed right now getting busy.
