I would like to see the portal or front page being used for album reviews and stuff. Write ups by our brightest!
I quite like it. If you don't like the blog page then there's always the "forums" button at the top.

Well it's all sounding good so far, guess we will just have to see how it turns out.

Now if this site or whatever planning to be made is there to supplement this site, (ie. user created music, uploads, and other special things) then that sounds great. But if you take away years of gaining popularity through a top rated google searched music forum then we are back to having nothing. As GB said watch the amount of members slowly decline.

I really dont know what people are complaining about on this forum with a lack of admin support. They keep the forum running what else do we need that we cant do ourselves. If you think this place is boring because of a lack of features well maybe its just you me and the other people who are making boring topics.

Now if I m missing something or have my facts wrong please tell me but I don't get the big hubbub. Why not just create a site that supplements this forum (that does nothing this forum does) so that people who actively post can be more involved.
Ok this is something I'm wondering too. I know admin doesn't care about individual members. It's how my former large forum was, and I am guessing that it's how most big forums are. We are just page hits, that's it. But are there a lot of things mods have wanted done that haven't got done? I remember my last forum it literally took years sometimes to get things done and the admin was always making unnecessary changes and effectively killed the group of 50ish regulars over time. I guess I don't see really what we want done that hasn't been done. I don't really see any problems but maybe mods could give some insight as to what areas there is lack of administration

I agree that, fundamentally, this forum is fine the way it is, as we're all able to function in it without any serious problems. But there are those of us who would like the forum to actually grow and become better. While we're fine with doing our part here, I don't see anything wrong with wanting to undertake a separate venture simultaneously, since we know it won't happen here. When you can't even get the administrators to implement simple built-in anti-spam measures that require one click in the forum software, the reality of the situation becomes quite clear.

No one is suggesting that we abandon MB. At least, I think I can speak for most of the mods when I say that. The idea is to at least try to create something for ourselves that we can actually pour our hearts into like we want to, because it can't happen here. While there isn't much actually "wrong" here, it's disheartening to know it will never get any better. Some folks are fine with things the way they are, and that's great. It's just as valid as there being some folks who would like to create something better.

F*ck it, I'm changing my vote. I'm all for it, I'll even donate money to help get it set up.

MB is dying of cancer and we all know it. The only question is, do we want to let it lay here and die slowly, or opt for the experimental surgery?

I'm for it. There's too many people on here with great ideas we will never see if we don't get something new. You've made great points and I now believe it can work. If it's something you decide to do, you have my full support.

Thank you.

It costs like 10 bucks a month for a shared host. The only time monetary help would be needed is if the site grew very large and required a dedicated server, which is usually about 100 a month.

10 bucks a month? My own forum runs on a host that costs about 50 bucks a year, domain name included.
Eitherway, I don't mind donating a few bucks to help set this up.
