Explain that one

i don't like going onto a music website and seeing that the "recent threads" section is full of sports threads and nothing else.

Post more about music then!

We can't force people to talk about the music, and we can't get rid of the off-topic discussion areas as they keep people coming back to the site.

I didn't.

Good point, interesting threads about music are rare on this site.

you tried to though, i thought that is why the wasteland was removed and posts in the general discussion area didn't count in your post count anymore?

So if i walk into a music pub and the first people i see guys in football tops, i should suggest they find somewhere else to go, as i'd rather hang out with the sexy single girls with good music taste at the back.

Crap analogy, but i hope you see what i'm getting at.
