This is something I've been thinking of for a while. What if we had a forum dedicated to music played by the GT community? A "Music Showcase" per se. It would most likely go under the Miscellaneous Forum. I know the majority of us here can play at least one instrument, and this would give them a chance to show the community their musical talent. For example, it could be set up so that anyone who wants to participate would create a topic with their name as the title in the music forum, and then in that topic, post links to videos or .mp3's of them playing an instrument. The topics could be updated with more links as needed. The forum will also encourage people who don't know an instrument to start learning one, since they will be able to see other people actually showing what each instrument is capable of.

This idea was inspired by my posting of the PotC piano videos; I know I'll be posting more similar videos and wanted a more "suitable", if you will, place to post them than the media forum.

Would this be possible/a good idea?

Well, if there was one I'd participate. I've been thinking about buying a microphone for my computer and recording some songs. Nothing fancy on the cello, I'm no prodigy but it would be fun to post songs. It would be easier than going through all the topics in the Media forum but first you would need to know how many people are going to participate.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to find out. In the end though, it's really up to guru.

I like the idea alot , what are your thoughts on setting something up? music.gametoast.com ? hehe. We could do that no problem or just put a new forum area. I also would like to put a shop area where people on here can sell stuff they make/own/related to their job/skill/craft/income.

I'm a counselor, if there were some kind of forum where I could give "Life Advice" that would be super.

Sounds cool, what do you have in mind for it? MP3 Streaming, being able to post videos, etc.? Personally I think a new forum would be easier, but it's your choice really.

That would be great as well. I know I'd use that.

... I could make poo sculptures...

Sounds nice, if I ever got a better Ocarina, I'd play some tunes.

I'll take a dozen!

Wait, would we be able to sell prints of artwork, like on DA?

It sounds a bit far-fetched, selling random stuff and all that. I suggest that everyone thinks this through realistically before wasting a lot of time and work on something that doesn't lead anywhere.

But are you interested in what I suggested (the music forum)?

Just a thought.

Oh no! Please no!

As Super_Shadowman said...I'm indifferent, MAJORLY indifferent to THAT idea.

Although I am not so indifferent to the rest of the ideas...

Interesting idea. Too bad I dont know how to play any instruments past a cheap, 10 cent plastic recorder you can get in any school music room..Oh thats right, once we got into 5th grade we got to use real Recorders :O

Could also be like a sticky forum with tutorials made by players on how to play certain instruments, Ive always wanted to play an electric guitar

Playing an instrument =/= modding.

All the stickies would say the same thing - practice.

Yeah, this isn't a bad idea. I don't play any instrument or anything, but I know I'd love to hear all of you guys

I hate to be blunt, but...have you decided what you're going to do yet, guru? If not, I'll wait; I have some songs ready to record, but I don't want to keep making topics about them in the media forum.

Is anyone else interested in this idea? So far only eight people have expressed interest.

eh to be honest I think gt is more of a place for game modding.

I'll agree that that is the main idea behind the site, but that doesn't mean that it can't explore new areas other than modding. For me, this site is the place I go when I want to just relax and talk to some pretty cool people.

Plus, we already have non-modding forums, this would just be one more.

Just saying.

To be honest this sounds like an expansion/revival of the already-there media forum.

What about tutorials about, say, how to mod your tuba into a piano? I think we really need topics like that, I run into the same problems everytime I try.

You don't. What we DO need is a forum for suggestions. You know, one for dumb ones and one for smart ones.
