Just to clarify, we've concluded that there will be two new forums, one for Industry News (more general non-chart-related news) and the other for Songwriters/Producers/etc?
If so, I'd say Industry News could be a subforum of News (or, split News into Chart News and Industry News, like how Artists is split into A-J and K-Z). For Songwriters, etc, it might make the most logistic sense to place them in the Artists section but I feel like they'd get lost in the shuffle. I'd almost suggest giving that section its own forum and place it between "Artists" and "Live Shows".

My thoughts about placement:
Industry News = split the General Music News into two sub-sections
Probucers/Songwriters = Put it into the Artists section as a new subforum

Oops, didn't even see the discussion for where it should go. Sorry about that! I should've read closer and chimed in. Just going to quote off of Khrazy's recent post because I agree with a lot of it. 1. I like the idea of changing the "General Music News & Chart Discussion" board to be just "Chart Discussion" (that seems to be what it is, mostly, anyway), and then adding a new board for "Industry News & Discussion." I think those two subjects are distinct enough to warrant separate boards. I agree with this entirely. "Chart Discussion" in place of "General Music News", and then make a separate folder for "Industry News & Discussion" beneath "Chart Discussion". I really really really like the idea of having a board to discuss the business side of the music industry, legal issues, mergers, job openings, etc. I'm not crazy about the name "Behind the Scenes," especially if it's a sub-board with no description, just because I think it's not particularly clear what that covers, but I'm fine with it if that's what others want. I enjoy "Behind the Scenes", but maybe something along the lines of "Let's Talk Business" or something could work, too, since this seems like it'll be more of a business/management section. 2. I think the best place for a "Producers/Songwriters"-type board would be as a sub-board of the "Artist Discussion" board. I don't think it would get lost, but we could also move it if it does. I think discussion of producers and other creative types belongs with discussion of artists rather than with the business side of things and a new industry board. As for crossover, I think it's fine, for example, for Timbaland to get a thread in the PSO board for discussion of his work for others, and a thread in the K-Z board for his solo projects. This entirely.

So, running the risk of not considering all sides on the discussion and on a very generic standpoint, creating a "Behind The Scenes" (let's call it that just for the sake of this post) with a industry/business side and a production side would make sense to me because both pertain to what goes on behind the curtains so to speak, of the final products we discuss here on Pulse. On the other hand, Khrazy's ideas also make a lot of sense to me: discussion of production topics is closer to the artists' discussion than it is to the more business/entrepenurial one. They're also artists, after all And the industry/business topics (they're the same thing as far as this discussion is concerned, right?) would be closer to the Music/Charts discussion. ...so, to conclude my rambling, while I like my suggestion, I'm also fine wit Khrazy's suggestion, too as it integrates the new addition into the already-existing structure of Pulse and it may therefore help people in finding the subforums :) Sorry if this makes no sense. I'm just too tired but wanted to comment today as I will have no time tomorrow, haha

Producers/Songwriters as an Artist Sub-Forum would be just fine and should show more life then the dead Unsigned Section that was present beforehand.

I agree on the idea of putting Producers in a subforum of the Artists forum, like how the A-J/K-Z subforums are now. I also like the idea of splitting GMN as previously discussed. ...So I think that means I agree with K. on both points, lol.

It sounds like we are mostly agreed or ok with the following layout:
OTHER MUSIC FORUMS Chart Discussion Let's Talk Business Artist Discussion - A-J, K-Z, Producers & Songwriters Live Shows Etc.
After what someone else said, I do think "Behind the Scenes" would have made sense were the industry and songwriters forums placed within the same forum. Since they are separate, I think "Let's Talk Business" is good and is a little more specific.
If there are no objections, I can implement this later today.

Let's keep it alive people! Kurt and K. lets break the double posting rule for this section since I'll help keep all threads, if possible, constantly updated in the Songwriters/Producers section
