I did an 'experiment' with this thread to see whether I was right, and yes I pretty much was spot on in what I thought was happening here.
most of the time, this thread was mainly just bumped by me either giving a question or just in general posting something that wasn't just a music bump and that seemed to give the activity a little spike since members were slightly interacting with each other. Pusga's post basically gives evidence to this since with his question, within a few hours, there have been two posts devoted to it, a big difference since everyday mlo barely gets a single post..

I'm honestly not going to keep bumping the thread like I used to because that just isn't what the music loving organisation is (and it's really goddamn tedious) so I really really really want members to tell me or whoever what they want from this org because otherwise I'll probably get this closed due to the fact there are other threads in the music board that share the exact same purpose of random music dumps.

tldr; if we don't change and make this board into something that will work, it's going to go, sorry.
