It was then I realised that there are some topics that just don't fit in anywhere. So I think it's time to sort out the various sections we currently have and maybe add some news ones. Hopefully it will make the forums alot easier to use. Any suggestions?

EDITED : Removed a suggestion which on reflection was a bit pointless. i don't think that would need a seperate section however a sticky at the top of each section (guitar, amps, fx) with that info would be a good idea. i know we kind of have that for guitars. perhaps in the form of a FAQ. another board i'm on did that kind of thing and it has cut down some on the noob ?s like i'm buying my first guitar what should i get.

Yeah I have seen something like that before. It's an interesting idea and most likely is going to be used.

Would you guys use that? i would. one board i'm on has music broken into catagories for easy access to the more popular styles (rock, metal , blues and jazz, and then a catch all for other styles).

Somewhere we could post like 4 bars of a drum loop, then pass it on to someone else they could add another 4 bars with a bassline/strings/organ/whatever, then keep on passing it on until we end up with a full tune. Keeping it from say 4 to 12 bars to keep the files pretty small and managable

But as for arranging an EGF get together or something like that... maybe doesn't require a whole section. I think that the Off-Topic section would cover that?
