7/4 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 sounds like a good idea to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 One could easily argue both sides of this coin (what next? - a blues forum? - and then a zydeco forum? - and then a...), but I too would really enjoy having a classical music forum (or sub-forum) of some sort around here. I know an ironclad argument for having a classical forum clearly cannot be made -- never the less, I think such a forum would be quite welcome by a number of folks around here. Perhaps put it to a vote? (a poll), and see what folks here think. Or, better yet (I would argue), just do it and see what happens! I propose a test period of 2 months -- where a classical forum (or sub-forum) is created, to see just what kind of conversations would be enabled as a result. Then if Jim doesn't think it was really necessary (or beneficial), then just collapse the newly created topics back into general music, and life goes on. Or keep it, because it turned out to be a good thing to have around here. At least giving it a chance might produce some interesting results.

Jim Alfredson Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think we should consider thinking about the possibility of talking about starting a classical forum first. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) I think creating separate forums for all sorts of music would clutter the board and lead to fragmentation. Not a good idea in my view. Edited May 14, 2007 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i was thinking a seperate section to organize all the classical related threads (like the new hammond section). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think creating separate forums for all sorts of music would clutter the board and lead to fragmentation. Not a good idea in my view. I totally agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think creating separate forums for all sorts of music would clutter the board and lead to fragmentation. Not a good idea in my view. I totally agree. I agree too. I understand that this is predominantly a jazz board, so it makes sense to have a "Misc. Music" forum to discuss anything other than jazz, but I hate to ghettoize other music genres beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I don't see why a separate forum would be necessary. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say over the past year I've been buying & listening to more classical music, even craving it on some days. So thanks to y'all for the threads & recs.
