Well, maybe there's just nothing interesting going on so people post crap? I dunno... i just come and go as I please... not in here that often anymore... Music's not that interesting at the moment.... I've gone back to listening to all my old albums...

But it is , otherwise they wouldn`t be here.

Isn`t the main thing that people want to be here in the first place?

Just because they don`t want to post in the music forums ALL THE TIME doesn`t make their reasons for being here any less justified.

I agree with what you said, but I wasn't saying they shoud post all the time. there are certain new members who don't post in the music forums at all, that's the problem. But I do agree that the lounge kinda draws people to stay. At the same time, I agree with stu, that this is a music forum, which is the whole point.

I can see you`re dismissing this so here`s an example of the sort of thing I mean.

Say we have 2 people with radically different tastes in music , the chances are the way things are now it would end up in a long drawn out flame war.

Say we had another forum on , for the sake of arguement sports & both these 2 people both supported the same football team & have a discussion about it.

The next time one of them would post in the music forum they`d be less likely to flame each other due to having something other than music in common & the music forums improves as a result of it. You might disagree but i`ve seen it happen in other forums on all sorts of subjects.And not once has it detracted from the main forums that the particular site covers.

i think a big portion Stu may be because for the most part, those of us who are here alot already have discussed our musical tastes or likes and dislikes with each other. Its pretty much all been said before untill a newbie comes in with some new input. Sure the old arguments happen all over again, but not always, and alot of the times the same discussion that happend 6 months ago and is old news to us is new to them so what ends up happening most of the time is these newbs end up getting flamed for starting a new thread on an old subject (old to us, not to them) so alot of ppl just stick to the lounge now where basically anything goes and you dont have to worry about ppl complaining about why such and such band is mentioned in a certain forum. Then again, maybe music is getting stale and were all itching for something new to come out so we can all talk about how much we hate or like this "new" band. Either way, i dont see the lounge as a bad thing, it definetly takes away from the music portion of the site, but I have to agree with the way Urban explains it.

you cant say that. new music and new bands are coming out all of the time and some of us (not many- but some) are actually attempting to have conversations and debates on these new artists. yet when either they die on their arse or somebody comes in and starts talking completely off topic it does become frustrating. i would accept what your saying if the spamming was solely in the lounge but its not- theres is A LOT of it in the actual music forums where we try to talk about bands and artists. im sure you wont be too hard pressed to find an example of this.
