We Need a Place for Music, if John Loves it So Much ;P

[nsr_neko]

Yeah, I think we need ourselves a music forum. Discuss, post your works, blah-de-blah. You know, whatever. John, you know you want this forum. You know it neeeeeeeeds to exist.

i would also like an area to discuss music as i like lots of different music, but possibly music could be discussed under an entertainment section where it would be able to cover not just music but also things like tv and films etc.

Here's my vote for a Music forum.

[Brick_Sledge]

A media forum would be a good idea.

[guffkr]

the rules are crack like eggshells for music

[nsr_neko]

Even if the rules ARE crack like eggshells for music, a music (or media as suggested by Brick - good idea thar) forum would still be nice.

And no, I don't know what rules are crack like eggshells means.

[ZZT-X]

I'm for a media forum.

Then we can turn the "What Are You Listening To?" thread into a sticky and never have to re-post it again!

[Josh1billion]

Same with the post your current lyrics topic (sticky in Media forum).  Similar, but not the same..

Are we talking a forum for discussion of movie/music production, or a way to distribute other people's work illegitimately? If you're wanting somewhere for member creativity and feedback, like a AV version of the game dev' forum then I'm keen, but I'm leary of setting up a place for people to share media they don't own the rights to, as that's just opening up a can of RIAA/MPAA pooh for John to deal with.

How about a creativity forum, for musos, indy film, creative writing, and photography?

Fine arts go into the Art and game dev' forum, or can be moved into a general non-games creativity forum.

I'm in for a music talk forum since lots of music-related topics appear in the general discussion, so it would be nice to have a dedicated forum for that .

The rest (except link exchange for illegal music - here is not a place for that kind of stuff) can go to Art and GameDev forum .

Btw, many people think that "art" has only to do with "visual art" and exclude the "audio art" (music, sound, etc). chiQ don't you think that would be a good idea to change a bit the description of the GameDev forum to include music and sound?

[Josh1billion]

Yeah I was thinking about music discussion too, not music distribution or creation.  I was thinking of a forum where people can recommend music to others and rate/review bands.

I figure 'game asset production' covers everything; geometry, sound effects, music, animation, effects, textures, etc. I don't see any reason to specify audio assets, when I'm not specifying characters, weapons, environment, and so forth.

My offer of a Creativity forum stands, covering non-game art, writing, music, etc.We have a wide range of talented and passionate people on this forum; some write, some compose and play, some paint and draw, but I think giving them all separate forums would be excessive, and a general forum for all of them makes more sense. I'll put one up for now anyway, and we can see how that goes.

[Josh1billion]

Hmm I suppose that's cool..

But here comes the poetry. :/

[Brick_Sledge]

The problem with the creativity forum is that it seems that it's ment for only things you make yourself.

The purpose of a media forum would basically be "hey, have you seen this movie?  I like it", "this band is really cool", or "this author is rocks my socks".  Not a place for distributing anything, with the possible exception of links to movie trailers or music that is legal to download.  No illegal distribution of anything allowed.  That way the forum would be more open to people who like tottalk about the work of others, good for us non-creative types.

[Josh1billion]

I was thinking that too but I guess media discussion is going to be allowed as well (because of the two already-stickied topics.. current music and current lyrics).
