There are so many facets and possibilities related to the idea of Music Forum that we need not only to discuss it thoroughly but also to experiment and play a lot with it to get the best out of these possibilities. This is just a brief first comment on the forum entrance, the 'outside view' to the Music Forum among the other forums. How about this top-level layout:
The Underground (Napsterites)
The Music (find a subtitle here)
Peer to Peer (The 3rd millennium technology!)
Napsterites News (News/Events archives)
Test Forum (Napsterites graphics test forum)
Somehow I like the generality of 'The Music'. That includes many of the aspects that Ramona mentioned: making music, promoting it, finding it etc. Behind the same main door one would find both the music and the musicians, which sounds healthy to me. The characteristic energy of the Music Forum could be
art whereas The Underground resonates dominantly around the vibe of
community and P2P around the vibe of
technology.
Any comments?
