You're learning quickly Sockface. Welcome to Music Banter.

What MB needs is a jazzy new banner. Just screams dad rock. Give us something with glowsticks and post dubstep.

Yeah, you have no idea how much hard rock was discussed when I joined. It dominated the boards in a way that no forum has since on MB.

I posted quite a bit when I first joined.. Than I realized I'm not a fan of the music forums; it's lacking discussion, and very few people share music. I forget who pointed it out but to summarize: "Most of the people here have known each other for years and know what each other are into. So now it's just a place where we hang out and talk. If you want to share music and interact with members about music go to the plug".

And that's exactly what I did! I have enjoyed plugging with quite a few members, I know nothing about them except what they like in music and they have already shown me many songs that I consider grab worthy.

The general forums are cool and I do enjoy some of the banter and silly forum games, but I came here for music. Getting to know new people is just a plus(minus depending).

Also, plug is where we discuss most stuff these days.

I can't use that Plug dj thing, it sucks to miss out on that

Why not?

MB has probably changed a little, but I think I've changed a lot. I don't know if it's become less cool, but I do feel like I've grown apart from it, and like it no longer really fulfills my needs. I feel much more directionless when I logon.
