I personally hate adding subforums because all the posts in there get hidden away and hardly anyone replies to them.

There are a few exceptions, of course - the debate forum, for instance. Not everyone on CB wants to participate in a topic in which they are expected to think out well-written, intelligent responses; and quite frankly, those who do don't want the rest of CB participating. People who enjoy the debate forum go there to discuss issues with other people who like debate.

Same with the anime section. If someone posted a topic about Sailor Moon in the lounge, it would be blatantly out of place in that forum and the topic starter would probably get made fun of. That's not to say they wouldn't get made fun of in the anime section, too, but at least they'd more than likely get made fun of by other anime lovers.

People who are interested in fashion go to the fashion forum to talk about style, people interested in technology go to the tech forum; etc. These forums contain topics that simply would not fit anywhere else. That's not to say that we don't have subforums I disagree with, but we'll leave it at that.

In my opinion, in order to substantiate the need for a music program, we would need to prove that certain topics don't belong in their original home (Entertainment). If there were tons of topics and tons of discussions going on about musical instruments, theory, chord progressions, compositions, and performances, I can tell you that'd give us a great start to prove that there's enough interest to start up a music forum. I'll just tell you, I'd be the first person to post in it if I thought it was necessary.
