Well, thats unfortunate on soundclick Scott. sometimes there have been some mean spirited things said on some forums and boards and perhaps it might be legal components involved where the organization could be liable , worries about getting sued. not sure, it is a changing world in the law aspect of it, I know a montreal newspaper shut down feedback on its comment page, and a large media source in Russia did the same thing, guess it shows up on the feed, or search engines, and I guess the mods figured if people cant be civil , then they just gave up, I know I have avoided some boards because of the noxious comments people were leaving,free speech to a point, but not at the expense of someone, or getting personal. but then again, i see some pretty intense things said on facebook. and raw to the bone emotional interaction,. so not sure. I was not a soundclick member, heard of it, never used it, although might have listened to peoples music there. as for forums, the only one I use is the pipeline, nothing else except some on yahoo which are for djs and promoters. As for artists I think the interaction and communication is important, sometimes you can get great ideas from that kind of thing, and meet up with really fine artists and talented individuals or read what they are doing. all good here. cheers
