"inside-jokes" don't just happen.. they develope as people grow together, naturally. that's actually the reason why i don't go to kvr much. to much BS, not enough content. off-topic sections are great and all.. but totally unnecessary to form a community vibe. i’ve been over at em411 for years now, i’m a very active community member, and the chat (general conversation) section is the least used forum.

(at least the first one.) maybe there can be a section like "technical questions". or "really technical questions". i never get the chance, but being able to take a look at what other members are working on would be cool. also, it's a good place to post about events that might not warrant being on the front page. i admit that an off-topic section (or sections) is something i’d enjoy, too. i really enjoy arguing with like-minded people about pointless topics. :) seriously, though, it’s also good for asking semi-related questions for the musicians that need more technical help and the technicians that need more musical help?

I love the content here but it's So compressed. Hope that you’ll somehow have a more spacious look in the new version. I love the content here but it’s So compressed.

An off-topic section in an otherwise music-centric forum allows for the kinds of insider humor that keep a forum vibrant. KVR has Tarnce, Crunk, Bones, Chase, "Does it sound like a virus?", "How do you make the Cher sound?", etc. as references. Why can't CDM have its own sometimes light-hearted, othertimes flame-inducing inside-jokes? ATA I tell you, that’s what keeps me coming back to KVR, besides the up to the minute plug-in news.
