I have a problem with the fact that most of the threads on GD are totally irrelevant to large sections of the board, music crosses all of them. I mean discussions turn into flame wars or we agree to disagree, so a little game is there to be fun, and not to have deep meaning or scientific importance. A great many of the threads are either directed at an individual, e.g. hey yournamehere, or are ethnocentric. I was looking to cross boundaries age/gender and nationality which sadly too many other threads do not.

I did not consider your song thread Spam, until it was brought up as being a spam thread! Heck I am one of the most frequent posters there and if it is a spam thread then I am a spammer. You are right, music is one topic that encompasses everyone and a music topic is almost always going to pop-up. I guess the reason it was considered a spam thread is the fact that, while it allows people to have fun with music, it really has no 'content'
There really is no room for debate, opinions, etc.....Perhaps we could get them to move it to the poll forum and try to pass it off as a music poll
