Define Cynical Fan Forums

Quoting from elsewhere:

"It's one thing to have a general "talk about your favorite music here" topic, but a forum for it allows a lot more opportunity.

Generally, there are individual topics devoted to a certain type of genre or even a certain band. And when you have these topics presented from someone you know, its more likely you'll be introduced to different types of music through them. I myself can devote 20% of my musical library through such topics. This is something you can't pull off in the Anything section. "

But do you think it would actually be a good addition? Vote on it.

*wakes up*

Mmm, wha?

Oh hell yes, I've been needing a good music-specific forum, music type threads usually go to hell, it'd be good to have somewhere to keep that stuff specific.

I vote no. Simply because of the apparent lack of discussion value between most members.

Out of curiosity, what would go in this new forum?

We have a few threads where people showcase music they've come up with and a thread for "what you're listening to now."

Lots of MCR threads and/or threads about boring j-pop/techno/whatever the hell kids listen to these days?

1.3 million threads about Belle and Sebastian.

Who here actually listens to any of that?

Eh, closest I get to "j-pop/techno/whatever the hell" is a couple videogame music remixes. By a couple, I mean I think about three, and one of those is the electric guitar remix of the FF6 intro, which I don't really think counts as 'techno'.

I'm sure somebody does.

EDIT: Note that those were just examples.

I listen to music, does this mean I can apply to be a music forum? If so, what are the terms of carriage?

Meh, there's really not a lot of musical compatibility here. I'd say no.

BUT ALL YOU UGLIES WITHOUT LAST.FM ACCOUNTS SHOULD JOIN.

I'd like to add, that this poll isn't here to satisfy the purely hypothetical. I will actually consider creating a new forum based on your votes/responses to this thread. So take it seriously \o/

I voted yes. I don't know how many topics it would get (too bad we can't have subforums), but I think if we want to talk music, then a whole forum would definitely end up better than a single thread, and hey, I predict it would be more active than the House Rules forum.

It's true, there isn't much music compatibility here, but not all the topics have to be about bands...I'm sure there can be discussions about instruments, musically-related people, music created by forum members, band camp (lulz), etc.

The fact that none of you drugfaces know who Paddy Willis is tells me that we need a music forum.

To be frank - the hilarity of the Arlo/Ibun musicality situation made me gigglechortle enough to stick around.

It was a very good month. If you want more drugmonths like this facemachine then vote 'Yes" on referendum Milk 09

As a drummer, it would be a sin for me not to vote yes.
