Plans for the future of Gamingforce

I'm not sure if this sentiment will resonate anyone else's view on the subject but I'll give it a go anyway.

I've been here for almost two years, and I may do more lurking than actual posting, but so far I've observed that most often the members of CH who actually come here for the discussions in the main part of the CH forum are the ones who tend to at least try and participate in discussions going on in the other parts of the board. Heck, I've even seen some of the regular non-CH members post in that part of the forum a number of times. I remember when I myself first joined this iteration of GFF it was because I remembered having read and participated in a few of the discussion topics in there many years back and I was curious to see if what it would look like today. I've also noticed that a certain number of the people who frequent that part of CH don't necessarily participate very much in the sheet music sharing part of it.

I have noticed that the incursions from both camps into the other have lessened a bit in the last few months, but nowhere near the point where there is absolutely no contact going on whatsoever, which is how some people seem to be seeing the situation. However, the Musician's Library (where all the sheet music trading is going on) is a whole other matter, and I do agree that that part of the boards is almost completely detached from the rest of what goes on here.

In any case, while I do agree that the massive sharing threads are the logical place to retrieve server space, I'm not sure that removing the discussion part of the CH would neccesarily be beneficial to the GFF community, as to me it still seems to have it's place within GFF as a whole.

What's more, the moving of the sharing part of the sub-forum might well alleviate tensions between the CH regulars and the rest of the community, as CH would no longer be that part of the board that absorbs server space disproportionately to the amount of regular members who benefit from its presence on the boards.

I'm going to remain here no matter what happens, but I would honestly be sad to see that part of the board go completely as to me it doesn't feel like it's out of place.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

However as Blah says it would give The Concert Hall a chance at their own community if the entire CH was moved. Hmmmm...

The thing is that there would be nothing stopping those who prefer to follow the sharing threads to the .com from starting their own discussion forums there if they are so inclined (in fact it might even be desirable, what with the whole camouflage issue and whatnot).

Another solution might be to incorporate a CH type sub-forum in the Creator's Cafe...?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
