... To be honest I couldn't actually pin down a point where the section started going off the rails. Even the first screen of most recent contributions seems to follow much the same themes as the oldest - minus the Soviet music of course!!.

That's because we removed all those latest posts, which included standard R&B/Funk groups, mainstream jazz records, unrelated soundtracks, etc.

I believe that the founders of this forum have a single vision of the utility of this forum while the users see the other parts equally (non-library, Track IDs, etc).

I don't know if it's my comprehension of the English idiom or not, so I'm not sure I exactly got what you mean Bronic, but I'll point out this:
The single vision of the forum includes every single one of the sub-forums sections. I mean, "General Discussion", "Blogs", "DIY", "Requests", "Reissues", "Tracks ID's"Film, TV and Radio Cues", "Labels", "Composers and Artists"...
every single one has born with the same focus of the forum itself, each one of them was conceived referring to the world of library music.
We also see "the other parts equally", but certainly not in the same misrepresented way in which many see it.



Yet it's a steep crackdown on a popular and harmless subsections of the forum. It's not like Michael Jackson's (Bruton Music's owner) discography would ever be posted there.

Popular? Probably
Harmless? Not for us

Hi, any idea how long the "temporary freeze" will last? A guesstimate, at least?

Thanks so much!

I believe that it's the right decision for the forum to be careful with non-library postings as the music industry is getting very touchy about copyright. The forum has been shutdown many times , probably due to a copyright strike and it's wise to attempt to minimise the risk of it happening again.

There is no particular disagreement) The rights to the music library belong to the studio giants  ;)

I understand why the forum was frozen -- but I also discovered so many hidden gems in that section from early 80s experimental electronica, to late 70s disco, to late 60s funk and folk -- be it in lossless or high quality mp3's.

I understand the reasons for it's shut down -- but it was also a cool forum to discover cool new music.

I sure do hope the bosses reconsider, but again -- I understand.
