Tom, if you do redisign the site again...maybe you should try broadening the topics, and combining some of the other ones. Like instead of general drums, cymbals, and marching; you just have a "general drums" topic and combine all three. saves space with threads are aren't getting any play.
then add some like "new equipment" where you post pictures of new equipment coming out we can talk about. Classifieds is good as-is, gigs also
then add some new topics like "Other instruments" or more specific like piano, bass, etc. i'd love to hear from some piano guys on good songs to learn that will build skills fast.
Combine all the suggestions threads into one.
then you will have 5-10 threads to choose from and they wont be so spread out and dead.
Ok dont get too excited at the moment I have another website I have to make which will take a bit of time, but re-doing drum world is definatly in the pipe at some point. It's long overdue for this site and you guys have been very patient!Tom
