Should I get rid of the Jokes and Sports forums? We have almost 200 users here. I can't control what people want to talk about. The forums are there if people want to use em. Give this place time. I have been open for about 2 weeks now.

So I'd have to talk about sports in the lounge? I like the extra forums. They add a bit of diversity. What I like about trumpet forum in general is the commonality of intellect, which generally isn't shared on other forums like joke site or a sports site. I really enjoy hanging out with trumpet players even though I'm not talking about them all the time.
When I have a question about trumpets, I know where to go
Don't sweat it, things are going fine here. It could be worse. We could be like another site complaining about mods and hating "brand X" sites. Thats not trumpet talk either.

I agree with Thevor. There is a time and place for everything and if you don't make room for it on this site, it will show up in another generalized forum. Management control is what marks this forum from all others and for that to happen, we need the extra forums if not more listed.

It's good to have all the extra forums so that there's not alot of off-topic stuff that gets put into all the rest of the specific forums, and it is nice to talk to other people who share a common interest about anything, even if it's got nothing to do with whatever you have in common. It's like an email list I'm on, that started out as a "teenagers with perfect pitch" list but then lots of teenage musicians joined who didn't have PP, and that was cool, but there's not always alot of music talk, and there can't really ever be alot of perfect pitch talk, because there's not much to talk about with regards to that. It's fun just to talk to those people even if they're halfway around the world about anything because there's a kind of connection there. And then when I'm excited about the symphong orchestra playing a piece that I wrote I can go "OMGOMGOMGOMG THE ESO IS PLAYING MY PIECE!!!!!" and they will understand my joy!!!! This is what it will be like here. Trumpeters see the world in a different kind of light, and it's fun to chare that with others. Wow, I suddenly got all emotional there... excuse me while I go correct that by pissing off my neighborhood trying to, uhm, expand my range... yeah... Erin -iii<

Hi all. My friend Lee told me about the new forum. I am looking forward to a good trumpet site. All us trumpet players have to stick together.
Hey Master, good luck with it.

lets also keep in mind that on other sites have a lot more in the way of stupid questions. i would much rather see everyone chill out with sports and jokes than to see such things as "should i do the pencil exercsie? or what side of the mouthpiece should i blow into?" type topics.
sites such as TH have more "trumpet talk" but really they talk about the most stupid sh*t out there some times and you have way to many high school and college students giving advice. so yes there might be less trumpet talk here but i promise you it is 10 times more meaningfull here than any other site.
