Another metal board people might want to check out

As for forums in general, they mostly suck. Great forums generate talk around the net, more people sign up, and eventually they turn into a typical craptacular forum. I hold little faith that this great Heart of Metal forum will remain so for a long time.

This board has been around since 2004. When it was the Ulty board on ezboard. It will never turn into what you're saying it might. Scott and Kurt won't let that happen.

That would be awesome! I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm only speaking from experience, and that experience has showed me that once it becomes too much of a hassle to moderate, the moderators just back off and quit moderating pretty much altogether. I've seen this happen at countless forums.

If Scott and Kurt can keep this forum civil and mature, that would be pretty awesome.

The only time I can remember a real fight, there were a couple of guys who didn't post much (can't remember their name), they started fighting and were banned on the spot. It won't happen, imo.

About the Rock forum, yeah it is pretty much the non-metal room. I don't always agree with what bands go where, but again, if someone disagrees, let us know. I don't think yet another forum for non-rock related stuff is a good idea though. More sections will only clutter things up. We're already at the brink of it now!

Check out the forum structure here: http://www.metalreviews.com/phpBB2/index.php

Now, this forum is clearly not in need of that many forums, because there's not enough people here, but that structure did work when the forum was a good one. The average age of user there is like 15, though, so it's basically Blabbermouth. But the structure did work, and it wasn't cluttered or anything.

Seems to me they just added sections for just about any sub-genre out there. That is just too much, imho. Maybe we should just change the Rock section so it is more clare that all the non-metal topics should go there?

We've hi-jacked this thread long enough, so i'm taking this discussion over to the generan discussion area.
