Dear Niall

Fact is, the 6th album thread was only really opened to discuss solid news, not a fuckload of rumours and tweets off of obscure twitter accounts. Plus it always went stupidly off topic, and naturally that was because there was, funnily enough, nothing to talk about

Vicious circle, eh?

Well there was absolutely no information yet people were discussing it pretty much right after the Resistance was released. It was speculation based on rumours. Which is what I would assume a 6th album discussion is about. Enough to fill up 10 000 + posts and warrant a new thread.

Actually the 6th album thread reached 10'000 posts because it was accidentally merged with the original 'Unpopular Opinions Thread'.

No, it was opened to speculate about the next album including rumours. We had one for the Resistance too. And there is enough news to warrant a thread imo.

This is certainly the first album cycle since I've been here for where there is (now) nowhere to discuss the band's forthcoming album.

Doesn't that strike you as a little weird given it's Muse's official messageboard?

[Furygirl]

Well there is now, so go discuss it, dammit.

[a-museing]

I see no sixth album thread.

[Clunge]

Muse general discussion thread =/= Sixth album thread .

Is there some alterior motive for not wanting a specific sixth album thread?

[Furygirl]

I'm pretty sure Niall is opening it today. Not sure what the hold up is.

[Clunge]

Oh ok.

Please do excuse my pedantry .

[Niall]

I wanted to give time for other staff to voice opinions on it before acting. It's been quite a while now so I've opened it under the conditions of heavy moderation.

I just think this is silly overmodding of a very small/insignificant issue. Surely it's harder to mod 6/7 different threads which tangentially involve album #6 discussion when it could all be contained in one (as it was until it was locked)?

/two-cents. I'm not trying to put the boot in on purpose, it just seems quite illogical .

I agree. the conversation has spread even into Live section.

My suggestion: find a knowledgeable volonteer mod or two to keep LP 6 discussion on topic at all times
