probally if we had someone willing to review music, JP has been wanting a music section for a while now but I think that it'll just turn into one of our many dead sections.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I plan to start reviewing CDs pretty soon, and declare myself head of a music section. I don't expect it to be big or our most popular, but it'd be a cool addition, since I'd focus on a variety of styles, older stuff worth picking up rather than the latest pop thing, and a variety of free, indie and less mainstream stuff.

yeah, I'd review music if I were sent it. I'd run music reviews if we got them.

but we'd need a bunch before we could consider a new section a need.

You said we could start a new section if I reviewed twenty cds. That'll take one week of me in high productivity mode.

I SAID NOTHING!

Maybe Fell did though. I don't actually make that final decision.

I think it was more in the format "I'm going to send you reviews until you guys are forced to start a new section and put me in charge."

Most excellent.  After I see a few of Jam's reviews, I may start submitting reviews of my own.

Don't hold your breath. "Soon" means "sometime between the present and before I decide it's a stupid idea and can't be bothered, or the heat death of the universe, whichever comes sooner."

That was probably Fell as SE said.  I actually hope we don't plan on adding any new deparments anytime soon since:
1) We've allready got 2 dead and 1 that is almost dead.

2) Not sure on this one yet, but the new menu design may not be very modular so we won;t be easly be able to add things to it.

I have no intention of adding a music department. Nor do I remember approving a new menu design.

Why do you think I used such words as "may" and "not sure yet"?

Oh, you'll think differently when you're starved for any content in existing sections but have twenty JP CD reviews sitting in the database....

Patrick Gibbs just sent me a review of Harry Potter 6.

It's up and viewable by admins.

Out of curiosity, what are the dead sections?

webcomics. Tower of Cheapness. We get very, very little content for CCGs and video games too.
