As to your other point, I agree that potential solid members are everywhere. And if we can bring them here, that's great. But I don't see any other site's Open Mic section functioning at a better level than ours, to be honest, when it comes to quality or even quantity.

So you want a quarantine? It's not as though the three audio drops every week are clogging the forum.

For one, we don't have rules, per se. Two-link requirements are lame. The better function would be if everyone were better at returning feed and shunning those who don't feed. I've tried to do this on both ends.

As far as having a moderator who gives a little feed on everything, sure, that would be great. But first we have to find someone competent and willing.

Of course we do. There can never be enough legitimate feed. But most good pieces here get at least one or two legitimate breakdowns from veterans. The shitty stuff tends to get ignored or fed briefly, which can be a shame sometimes.

Nominations are open to the public. But I think we get enough. It usually ends up being about five to eight pieces a month getting nominated. That's a lot of work for the committee already.

Please, do.

namix pays the bills. He never said he'd be the most active site owner. Do you see advertisements here? He has nothing to gain by owning this site or having it succeed. He's doing as much as he's doing out of good will.

We're all volunteers. That's what you seem to be forgetting.
