This site has been here for decades , are we just gonna allow this wonderful platform we've all used for years and years with much enjoyment to just be thrown in the trash heap of history?

Music is supposed to bring people together. It always has in the history of time, but for some reason not here?

Do you guys think there is anyway to get this site back the way it was or are we all just wasting our time? (sigh)

Really makes me sad.

Well, if you've been here that long, touting "opportunity in Nashville", then you're obviously the problem...

Well, there's conservatively speak I mg dozens of lurkers.

I could personally name half dozen. I know they are there, I think Gregory showed he's always been here.

But there is no genuine interest in other people.

At one time tgus site was full of people who wanted to hear people write good stuff, and push them towards it.

Genuiness is something you cant buy, its certainly not here, people only talk about people in thre clique.

O offer honest opinions and it has only served to hurt me here.

Doesn't change my writing, but it changes my 3dperiejcechere.

Theres no want to improve, everybody wants the song done with a video so that saying something about song is moot.

Not everybody wants critiques, that's fine, but nobody believes some of the crap they praise here.

Its critiquing the person not the song.

Rob b, Ben, Marty, Gil guy, they have no interest in being genuine or fair.

But that's ok the better songwriters of yesteryear here would got it.

But until you peel away the bullshit there will never ne compelling content here

You hide behind a fake name and fake music. At least I'm a real person. I'm so sorry you life is so empty that this is your only outlet to be mean to others. I highly doubt you are mean to people in person, cus it would not be a good outcome. You're just a coward and refuse to be happy so you want everyone else to be miserable.

Not me, I'm still happy! (smile)

Its not spelling its typos. It automatically corrects and types something tou didn't type.

And my reply doesn't matter anyway.

Instead of saying that.... you could have been involved in the creative force here.

I think you just proved why the site sucks

What force?

She posts her own songs constantly, no interest in anyone else.

Its easy to pick out, she's not the only one.

But when I critique them the site is something different.

Bottom line not enough people, and not enough serious people.

Japov I dont know what yiur on about...

I quit posting here ain January and you are still bringing up my name in a desperate attempt to generate troll food to feed on.

I left so that you could build this site according to your vision for it.

Your reasons for it's decline are ridiculous and ignore the true causes of this site's issues.

This site is waning because of what is allowed to go on here. It is that simple.

Step back and look....

This lamentation post is attended by 3 personalities, who are all hacking away at each other.
Those same 3 personalities have been banned from participation at another site.
The dots connect themselves.

I also see, that in another post you stated that this site has hit rock bottom and that you are outa here.
You are rock bottom and, and as always, you are still here.

I repeat, you are rock bottom.

Stop bringing my name into it.

You know music is dead when AI has to create its own teenage performers to present its own digitally contrived crap...

AI cannot make music. AI can only control the industry by saturating the market. Very much the same as users operate right here, right now.

Like vultures circling the carnage for any inspiration they can find... because legalizing plagiarism is the only recourse they have left.

Sad... In retrospect, it seems making music online was always doomed to this...

Your argument is based on the faulty assumption that music unites. I could argue the opposite.

Music is often called a universal language, but it frequently separates people along lines of genre, generation, and geography. Musical taste becomes a social marker: fans of different styles form distinct cultural groups, reinforcing in-group identity while excluding others.

Generational differences deepen the divide, as the music people grow up with shapes their identity and often feels alien to those outside that cohort. Geography also creates musical loyalties—regional scenes and traditions that do not easily translate elsewhere.

Rather than uniting everyone, music often highlights cultural differences and clusters similar people together while excluding others.

As for you with your “why don’t we all get along” fairly tale façade, your passive aggressive behaviour contributes to the continued downfall of this site. You claim to be a bringer of peace and then you say things like, “You're just a coward and refuse to be happy so you want everyone else to be miserable.”

You’re like a clown with a fake happy face who throws a bomb into a room and then claims that other people made it explode.

At least the a$$holes on this site – including me – know that they are being a$$holes. You have zero self awareness of your own behaviour which is why you don’t understand why you were kicked off one songwriting site, and why waving your little magic wand on this site does not bring peace.

It’s pretty hard to ask for peace when you are the one shooting the gun.

OH $HIT, Kay!
Looks like BB's got your number, baby lol grin

Don't be TOO HARD on her though, BB.
By mere virtue of her gender, I'm certain she has grown quite accustomed to being treated like royalty online...

In fact, her strategy hasn't changed in 20yrs.
