The Rant Arena has gotten over 90,000 hits since you closed it, Brian...
Just Sayin' lol

I don't know why you're so fixated on having a "politics" thread...

Even if you manage to eliminate politics/religion from your site, I know several who would still bitch-n-moan about the music industry, AI, lyrical woke ideology, the cost of studio time, free streaming is killing profits, and nobody is listening to poor pitiful me...
In other words, "The same old boring $hit!"
And those whining the most would still be the least productive; As usual.

Typical home grown songwriters can't compete with AI, Brian.
So, if you're going to saturate your site with computer generated crap,
"AND"
Limit/control subject matter among supposed adults...
Then YOU are the one killing your site.
While the hecklers just laugh...

I still believe the "hecklers" are bad actors from other sites!
