No forum caters for all possible interests; I wouldn't dream of yattering about the minutiae of recording surround sound here, much less the editing of baroque music (you'll be pleased to know) - there are other places I can do that, and they're not all on the Internet, even.

Sox:
Actually Paul, I'd kinda love it if you did. Just saying. Infact, I'd say that the former would be an incredibly worthwhile and informative thread for the music forum that is currently lacking.

Alex C:
Yeah, but unlike your recording studio analogy, things like RPGs and PC component wankery already DO get discussed here every once in a while. The problem is that in the case of RPGs, at least, they get scattered around and thrown in the faces of people who have absolutely no interest in the subject whatsoever. For example, I believe we've had two or three topics with titles that amounted to "D&D 4th Editon," and they all hit at least two pages despite the multiple threads in different subforums. As it stands now, you occasionally get someone putting a tabletop rpg post in the books subforum, since they're you know, played with books, or in HURRR because they're games but not video games. In practice, however, you're a lot better off putting it in the Video Games forum since that's where us nerdy bastards who play too many silly games hang out.


Anyway, I'm hardly attached to the idea and I think Maiada's suggestion would work very smoothly, particularly since it consolidates Arts & Crafts with the Drawing subforums.

If it's boring, it'll sink into the archive. All locking a boring or pointless thread does is stop it from ever becoming interesting, because you nuked it before it even started. A thread has never started until the first good post.

I agree entirely with the above. As long as people aren't being complete fuckbags to each other, I'd say let it be. If a thread sucks, people will threadshit and/or just not give a shit about the original topic, talking about something completely unrelated.

Exception: "PITCHFORK SUCKS OMG" threads. God, so annoying. This is common knowledge. It's practically painted in day-glo orange everywhere hipsters tread.
