Restructuring The Forum Genre Boards - David Broad - 02-01-2010
Well I have only one thing I would like to see just to make life easier . Putting pictures on a thread in a social group . Unlike here there seems not to be the means to do it . I have been wanting to put a picture on the Album Info Thread in the Beatles Social Group and can I do it ? No I can't . Yet can do it everywhere else . So that is something that wants sorting . :lock1:

Hi David,
The changes under discussion here are restricted to the forum boards, but hopefully Ambernector will be able to assist with the Social Groups.
Restructuring The Forum Genre Boards - Jerome - 27-01-2011
Seeing as you guys listen to far more diverse material than myself, I will leave it up to you. I do think reggae belongs in a group by itself and that 'ambient' music should fall under electronica etc. ??!! Just an opinon. And is there a slot for ethnic music - maybe this can cover traditional types of music??!! Or even reggae too. You decide. 'World' music is too vague.

There may be a degree of disagreement about the current categories Jerome, but the reasoning behind them is something like:
- Reggae is a unique form, but too minority a taste to warrant its' own board. It's ended up grouped with Folk, Country, and World Music as they're all based on traditional Folk Music.
- I'd agree that Ambient would fit within Electronica. The reason it isn't mentioned specifically is that sub-genres were pretty ruthlessly pruned to avoid cluttering the board titles.
- The term World Music seems to be a touch controversial, but to me it encompasses ethnic forms of music - Folk Music, maybe - from around the world. It'll predominantly feature non-Western musical forms or English lyrics.
There have been a few rumblings over the genre classifications recently, so if there's a consensus for some minor changes, then let's debate, people !!

I think we are OK as we are

I tend to agree, Griff.
It's important, though, to seek regular feedback (I learned that from you, BTW :biggrin

If that's the way you want to go I'm fine with that - I don't think it's a major issue anyway - people will always find their way to the music of their choice.
