Poll
Dear Initiates,
The AHS staff recently received a suggestion to create a new forum section for discussion of non-Asian music. However, there doesn't appear to be enough interest in music from other parts of the world to justify making a new forum. That leaves us with two options: 1. Leave everything as it currently is, i.e. discussion of Asian music in the J-pop forum and all other types of music in the Chat Room 2. Change the J-pop forum into a Music forum for discussion of any type of music regardless of genre. Please think about it and let us know which you would prefer. The poll will be open for one week. Afterwards we will modify the forum or not, according to the will of the majority. So should the scope of the J-Pop/K-Pop Chat be expanded to any type of music? |

I didn't really think having a seperate section for "general" music wouldn't been too successful, so I think that with a "merged" forum of all types of music, things will still be active with jkpop/kpop/etc, and the latest stuff from American artists and such !

Y2KSPHINX, we're not going to add a new section. We're having the vote to decide whether the J-pop section should be changed to allow all types of music or not.
Don't contaminate the J-pop section! On a more serious note, I hope the J-pop section is not changed. Most Ayu fans also have a passion for J-pop/K-pop/etc. I think that this is a great section for it. Having general music in there as well would make things strange. You'd see all of these j-pop topics, and then a random American musician thrown in there. Seems very weird to me. Not many people talk about music outside of J-pop/k-pop/etc. here on the forum so I don't think it's necessary. I hope the J-pop section doesn't change. |

To clarify:
We are asking if the initiates would like to change the "J-pop" forum into a "General music" forum or not. We already determined that there was insufficient interest to create another forum in addition to the J-pop forum. |

I think this is mainly a Jpop forum, specifically Ayumi Hamasaki, and should stay that way. So I voted no.

I would not like to change the jpop/kpop forum into a forum for all types of music. i think that the chat room can just be continued to be our 'all genre forum'. i wouldn't like to see the jpop/kpop section mixed with other music genres. imo.

I don't see how it would taint anything? You never know the interest in a section until it's made. If it's not popular, then you can delete it.
But since that's not going to happen, and since I'm the one who proposed this idea, I voted yes. Even though this is mostly a j-pop fandom, there's other music out there. Other music some people have never heard, and who may like if they heard it. Arabic, Spanish, Greek, Jamaican, Russian, Indian, African, French, Scandinavian, etc... I think this will be a good way to learn about other country's music and broaden our horizons as well. |

I didn't liked the idea simply because a "merged" forum will cause our initiates to search for their intended news for a longer period of time, which is very time-consuming.
Although we always tried to give our initiates what they want, but I think we need to stress the bottomline of this forum, which is we only emphasize on Asian Music rather than the Western Music. I heard that a lot of people here tend to dislike or "fed-up" with western music..... so why should we merge a forum? I don't see any need for that. |

2) Though some people are fed up with it, I think it's a bit broad to say that all people who like asian music are "fed up" with western music. There are artists from english speaking countries with amazing music, and are still making albums. There's no arguing with the credibility of staple artists and bands who are still making music. 3) I remember when people didn't like the other c-pop and k-pop section because we were strictly an Ayumi site. If you want to revert to what this site ephasizes, I suggest you remove everything that doesn't involve Ayumi in some way. |

I'm not voting on this because I don't have an opinion either way. However I want to point out two facts:
1. I estimate there are about 50 general music topics in the chat room. If all of these threads were moved into the J-pop room only 1 in 12 topics would be about non-Asian music. So it isn't like J-pop topics would be drowned out by the others. 2. Whether the J-pop forum is changed or not we can always revisit the idea of creating a general music forum, if we start getting many threads about different kinds of music. |

I'm going to add that if you guys really want to talk about other music and share it with people who share the same ideology, why not go to another forum? I see nothing wrong with being a memeber of multiple forums, I know I am.

I'm also hoping to learn more about what kinds of music other people like. You can learn a lot about other people by the type of music they listen to. But it seems I'm talking to a brick wall by now, so I'm done. |

I understand what you mean. Just because their isn't a totally new section doesn't mean you can't do that.
Right now I only see you pushing for it though. If we saw more people, then we'd probably think the demand is there. If we ever do, we can revisit the idea. If it happened today, I mean we'd still consider it. If anyone has an opinion on this, please post here. It'll give us a better indication of what you want, which definately matters in this situation. Ashley |
