And I recently thought about this. I'm willing to bet that at one point, this board probably had the potential to host some actual industry people. Record label people, more radio people, etc, etc. But I'm sure upon coming here and seeing how unprofessional this board is, they probably decided against it. It's good that we have as many regular members as we do and I think the potential for this board in what we serve to the online community is incredible but I think we're held back at times because of the reputation that we give ourselves that usually comes down to certain fan groups. Sometimes what we find here is no different than what we find at fanboards. I think that sucks! At one point, I am fairly sure we did actually have more people involved with the industry here. But something changed and suddenly tons of fans swarmed. Not that being a fan is a bad thing, but they seem more interested in having a personal chatroom or battling over the latest feud than discussing music and/or information in a mature manner.

Last I checked though, this board wasn't too impress anybody or see how many 'industry people' we could garner, it's a music message board..for discussion.

But look at the advantages of having people in the industry around.
Imagine a world without bks! I'd have one less reason to wake up on Wednesday mornings.

Well of course, but I don't think it's an issue really that we don't have a whole lot of insiders here.

And it is not used as a music discussion board. It is used as a fanboard now. The amount of actual discussion about the music industry has plummeted to nothing being replaced by chatting, shrieking HATER, or having fan wars. IT has, unfortunately, driven away a LOT of the insiders or more mature posters that actually did use it as a music discussion board and not a fan board.

For discussion but it seems to be based more around other members, who can be a bigger fan, random gossip that nobody cares about and how big of a fan group can be made. The point is is that I think it would be more beneficial for people that actually *care* about the music aspect of this board if we could have it about the music news and chart discussions and stuff. People that have inside info would be more willing to offer stuff then.

Oh come on, I would rather defend my right to use cutesy fan names and to defend my artist by whatever means necesary, and to forever claim that my artist is better than your artist than to have a discussion about the music itself.
Music as an art form, the charts, how music has evolved over time. None of that matters. My artist should be worshipped by all who dare utter her name. :o :o :o :o :o :o
(just kidding)
