Why is the "share your music" forum hidden away as a sub forum of recording

[lidl e]

Surely that should be top of the forum lists?

There are a lot more people interested in sharing their music than there are people who want to take the time and effort to listen to other people's shared music and comment on it. As I recall, the Share Your Music and Noodle Bar (R.I.P.) areas were created to give a home to this stuff and to try to reduce the clutter in other forums of self-promotion threads which, let's be honest (going by the views vs responses in those forums), there isn't much genuine interest in.

I found I got a better response and more listens by posting my bands' new releases in the General Discussion part of the Forum.

Thanks for the response

 

You make some very valid points. Personally i try and listen to everything people post and i never think of it as self promotion 

 

I think the noodle bar would suit me! I like listening to, posting and discussing noodling!
