The purpose of the Site Description is to reflect the content and purpose that we already have..as created by the members. It would be an error to try to represent something that we are not. If people find us and like it here, great. If not, then what DQ saidslinger wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 2:41 pmConversely, attracting people who enjoy music as well as hi-fi would boost footfall in the music room. I would suggest that casting a wider net would be a positive move rather than just trying to attract the type of people who already post here. Exactly what demographic are you aiming to entice?savvypaul wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 10:54 amIt won't do any harm but, in the context of what we are trying to achieve, it won't be of any benefit, either.
People looking for a music forum will not be looking for HFS. Discussion of music makes up relatively little of the content here. There are only 8 threads in the 'music Room' which have been posted to in 2018. 3 of those are the 'standing orders' of 'last Listen', 'Last Live Listen' & 'Obits'). 3 of the other 5 threads have less than 10 replies. That is Audioflat levels of inactivity; and in the way that AudioFlat is not really a forum at all, we are not a music forum. In the last 24 hours alone, however, we have posted to 11 different hifi related threads (and yesterday was relatively quiet for us).
If the balance of the content changes in the future, it will be an easy task to reflect that in the Site Description.
Alternatively, if you don't want to attract punters who like music and could then be educated on the best way to listen to it then it might be better to close the non-hi-fi forum rooms and concentrate on pure hi-fi here, as the prevailing attitude seems to be against non-hi-fi threads.
Why would we want to close non-hifi rooms? We chat about music, politics, movies, sport,literature, health...and there is no reason not to. Where is this prevailing attitude against non-fi threads?
