    The whole section drives 0 discussion and attaches a stigma to this site when new members look to join. It just shows how archaic this member base is here.

    Koolo brought this up a few months ago, but we were scared it would k--- the activity here. Now that we've seen a shift in Kendrick's favour I think its time to delete this joint and merge it with the music section.

    But I'm going to let the community vote. Votes are anonymous.

    Definitely not. The eminem section will probably be the section that brings the most new users during his next album release. People will talk about him regardless in the music section whether there is or isn't an eminem section.

    From your guys' point of view, I'd think no. Yeah I know they're annoying and most don't stick around once the Em stuff is done, but the threads are always huge and they always come back next time there's Em news. Surprised you guys are even considering this.

    Do we really want to destroy our Music section?

    a lot of the useless conversation which has been contained in the eminem section would take over the music section

    but getting rid of it would be cool too

    Good point, the Em stans would just flood that section when it's time for something new Em related.

    Definitely should keep it I think, it's fun for entertainment value at times too. Don't see why you'd delete one of your most popular sections, or at least I assume it is, haven't looked at the numbers.

    The majority of them won't stay anyways. At least you can limit the eminem spam to his section only rather than having the music section filled with eminem threads. Think how spam like that section will look once he announces a new single and album.

    I understand getting more quality posters though, but I believe more promoting and this site growing will lead to that. I don't think an eminem section really effects that.

    We are, but we're still in the baby stages here.

    I don't think numbers is the most important thing right now, I've been working with Sony on the blog and now Gatorade wants to work together too. This site is only going to grow, and the forum will grow with it.

    We have an opportunity to form our identity here.

    Every time I go in there I wish that it would just be deleted all together. it's embarrassing lol. The downside to this,would obviously be that his "discussions" would probably take over ultimately clutter the music section

    I was thinking of mentioning this idea of mine when Kendrick's thread was 90% of the new posts for a week but I do think there should be a way to block threads you don't want to see. That way people not interested in 'insert whatever new popular album here' can still view the latest stuff on the board without seeing all that every time.

    It was basically impossible to look at new posts on S80 for that week without seeing it all be Kendrick.

    Look, I'm not totally opposed to banning the bad stans either.

    When I said a few months ago that I was going to put that section through a holocaust, I was only half joking.

    Definitely a lot of functionality to consider that would make this site better. We've got a running list of ideas we want to implement when we do an overhaul, this has been on the list since @CharlieWork first suggested it.
