On a serious note, I think that once the site's redo is finished (sam says october maybe), and advertising it goes all around, maybe it'll be active enough for a good replacement

Re: RIP Blip Fest? (181 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Really, Blip shouldn't be the 'goal' of chip musicians. That's been my biggest concern with much of the scene.
Blip was an epic thing and a ton of fun... but... well, that's just it! It was for fun! Playing Blip doesn't MAKE you prestigious! Most Blip artists got there because they had already made a splash in the scene!
That being said, the true goal of chip musicians should be fun, music or community! The more of those three things you have, the better the chip musician you are! THOSE are the things we should dream about!
It's also a nice dream to stand on a stage in NY and play your music to that many people and know they're into it for real
But your point is so true as well It's important to dream about making an impact

A quick coda to my earlier comment. I don't think an off topic area is a license to be a fuckwit. People talking about movies/sport games/other stuff not related to chip music, I think should be in a specific area. Trolls and jackasses can go to /b/
No, obviously threads full of ponies and made specifically to be an asshole shouldn't be allowed. But like, I found this awesome video that was just 6 minutes straight of things breaking in super slow-mo. I'd like to share that with everyone here, but I can't really. I'd do it on facebook, but I'm not friends on facebook with everyone that I talk to here.
And then in the OT section there could be threads like "What are you listening to right now?" and whatever.

Note I don't want an off topic forum so I can post ot content, I want one so I can not got there ever.
And a lot of us want one so we CAN post silly stuff. It's a win win: you don't see our garbage, we post our own discussions.

Very interesting data. I think I see it supporting my point, if in reading into it right. The only thing you said that I disagree with is the thing about starting a thread to make fun of someone that made a stupid serious thread. If you look at the post content after a while, it has nothing to do with being mad at the OP for stupidness, it just becomes a discussion involving pictures or jokes or whatever. And that's exactly the kind of material that most of us want to post. An off topic section wouldn't fix the issue totally, but it would help alleviate the issue. Mainly because instead of feeling like that's the place to pat stupid banter, those threads would die and the off topic board would thrive.
The only true way to tell is to give it a try for a little bit.

I'd wager that the members here are mature enough to keep the garbage discussion in the garbage discussion area. The only reason it's thrown about now is because there's no place for it. And you can't just say that the place for it is off CM.o, because that's not really gonna solve anything. Just grumpy users and grumpy moderators.

Eh, not really. At least not in my prior experience.
