I'm closing the other thread to divert the attention to this thread. Here's a suggestion, which I might do if no one protests too loudly. In part to divide the discussion into two natural categories, in part to discourage off-topic discussion.
I've found that most discussions in the general discussion forum are one of two categories, either general music discussion (listening suggestions and such) or community.related (such as talking about people, events and websites.) So that's what I'm suggesting "general music discussion" and "community".
Thoughts?
