is this forum in the worst state it's ever been in?

[woops]

this used to be a place that thrived with intelligence, creativity, ideas, wit and character

every time i go on here i see YouTube clips with no comment, wierd political side-taking, innocent people expressing distress

there are valiant attempts at intellect but it's so rare to come on here and feel it's wothh engaging with in public. i can't be the only one feeling like this.

It's just a shitpost dump now, has been for ages.

It obviously doesn't work at all without luka

Yeah it's pretty dire

Not sure what happened

A load of toxic political arguments spilling over into random threads didn't help

But also a lack of inspiration around new (or any) music which has been the case for ages ofc, and the forum has gone in different directions like talking about film or books more so it's not NECESSARY but the music forum used to be the hub of the forum for me and right now it's quite dead, most threads are archival (and I've started and posted in threads like this so I'm not saying it's a YOU LOT problem)

We need something to get excited about I suppose
