Wait, people can't post in forums AND visit the music section? I'm sure some people are...?

So maybe it would be nice to revamp the music section here. There would be more views if it was more 'interactive', and more connected. But then that's all dependant on mr. 80.

It would be cool to have a listing of singles for people of more discriminating taste.

And also go to the music section right now.

Here, you get music views and comments no matter what. On 8bc, you need to call your song something like 'Dubstep Porn Click Here For Free Monies.mp3' to even get a view.

I call bullshit.

I do think this website is home to a much more mature crowd, but at the same time its nice to actually get feedback on your tracks which, for me at least, has been non-existent in my short while perusing this site.

EDIT: Though I do feel that the forums on here are amazing, interesting and funny. I love the forums here enough to keep me attached to this sight regardless of a lower level of interactivity in the music section.

It's all planned for change. But just like the rest of you I'm sure, I've been busy. Also when I have free time its like making musc VS web work.

The new user page is about 70% done- which has music and some other things.

Front page is planned to have newest tracks and recent forum posts, also ditching the "recent posts" link at the top so that it's on the front page.
We will have a selection of hand picked tracks on the front page as well, that will be by no means attached to popularity- Quality/Creativity over all else, giving new and unknown artists the same chances as those who are popular to be featured. and of course a RSS to that list and maybe a popup radio or something there after.
