Metal Reviews :: View topic - One Recent Purchases Thread Here?

Yay, except your posts could be buried pages and pages back really quick if ALL recent purchases were together.

Nay, leaves little room for discussion on one's purchases.

This was brought up before? What are your thoughts? I'm beginning to think one big thread for all music would be better. Thoughts?

I think it wouldn't work.

I tell you what would work though, a Reccomendations thread for every forum, where you post stuff about bands you've found, and where people can go to find new stuff. Saves zillions of threads being created, and stops bands being forgotten, even if Ken and I would be the main users of them...

I don't think that would work. When you recommend a band, you want the focus to be on that band, no? One thread would turn into an off-topic mess.

But it would give them a bit of attention, more than most of our threads seem to at the moment. Plus, people who are actually looking for bands would find it easier to find them, then, instead of having to search through lots of old threads which may or may not be helpful.

If Recent Purchases can stay on-topic, why couldn't a reccomendations thread?

The entries into the Recent Purchases threads largely go undiscussed. I think it would be the same with a Recommendations thread. People are going to ignore it either way. Too many faux music fans here! :roll:

you should make a don't care option, either way it wouldn't bother me.

How about a global sticky per month? At the end of the month, unsticky the topic but don't lock it (unless it just won't die), and create a new sticky for the next month. Rinse, repeat.

I would like to see a sticky for a recommendations/donloads thread, where if you post something that isnt discussing anything already posted you MUST provide some music!
