Here's a problem with the nostalgia forum I noted: The 2 year rule. There are times where I've heard a song whose chart run ended at least 6 months ago or that's at least 6 months old, but no more than 2 years old, several times in a short period of time or for the first time in a long time. And it's a shame I can't make a thread in nostalgia because of the rule. All I can do is post the song I had in mind in WAYLT? or in the RT Thread. It's not really nostalgic if a song is still getting recurrent play on radio, and only dropped off a few months ago.

What if a person doesn't know which decade his song was released in? Where does he post his song? What if you know when the song entered the charts, but you don't know when it was released (especially if it came from an album)? Where do you put the song thread?

Maybe a topic can be stickied at the top of each Nostalgia subforum with a link to www.allmusic.com/ or another site where you can look up when a song is from.

What are some ways we can increase discussion in the forum? Can the two year rule be reviewed and maybe adjusted to 1 year? Or maybe the forum can be moved up within its category?

Yeah, you can report it (click gear -> Report Post -> write where it belongs) or I can add you to the group that has access to move threads within the Nostalgia section if you'd like. Keep in mind that we voted to put songs in subforums based upon initial release date, not time of peak popularity.

It'd be great to be able to organize the threads Kurt. Fully support the "release date" decision.

What about the closed topics?
I would just delete them. There are a lot.

It wasn't me this time around #TooBusy Will try to catalogue as many threads as I can this weekend. Checking every thread via discogs.com is hyper time consuming; often includes re-naming the subject line. Tagging the threads and moving them into the sub-forums is super *yawn* So, also from my part, thanks to the busy benefactor :)

You're welcome. I went through the section while catching up a bit after my long absence from the board.
Question: should the albums be tagged too?

I meant the albums in the dedicated Nostalgia subforum here: pulsemusic.proboards.com/board/36/albumsThere are 155 threads that are not in the decade-specific folders and that can't be tagged either, as far as I can tell.

Forgot about those - I just made labels for those, so you can label and/or move (right? if not, I'll just move them). Also, trebor, I tried to post this last night but ProBoards appears to be having iPad issues again: instead of using Discogs, try searching the artist and title on Google - usually the year of release appears either in the YouTube result at the top or in the metadata on the right sidebar.
