+1 I can see the rejections coming instantly as this is such a conservative place that is not so keen to speak of topics that can create controversy 
Also agree on the health and ecology sections to come up, but seeing the such limited responses offtopic sections get, not sure how many people would actually post there

^ There's no 'controversy' about it and it isn't about being conservative. I'm glad there isn't a section on it. Seems childish to need to talk about it, imo. There are other forums for that.
There is the spirituality section where you can talk about mind expansion and other experiences you may have had. No need to talk about the 'good shit' you had at some festival, but you can talk about the experience you had on it all you want. Isn't this what it's all about?

No need to talk about the finger, right? Let's talk about where it points.

Sorry but this sounds like a cop-out.
You know it’s precisely this type of mentality that you don’t want to see taking over a psychedelic trance forum. It should be more like hey if you think talking about psychedelics is childish then go and find a more “conservative” or if you want to call it “mature” place to hang out because this is a psychedelic trance forum where freaks that are tripping balls on acid, mushrooms, peyote or dmt are WELCOME to come and talk FREELY about their experiences. Because those are the people that you want here. The real freaks! (like the people who started this very scene)
But no, it’s all loopsided and instead the psychedelics talk is discouraged creating a very lame G rated wannabe real psy ground for posers who only like to pretend they are into the real psychedelic experiences but in reality are just not.
Of course there are other sites to talk about psychedelics but this is supposed to be a psychedelic trance forum!! No use in arguing if the mods think differently though. But I just wanted to say that I think a section about psychedelics would ignite the forum with the right type of energy because its right in focus with what this scene and this MUSIC is all about which is the psychedelic aspect. But until then IMO all these new off topic sections just serve to dilute and distance the forum from the very thing it claims to be and represent.

Excuse me but the psychedelic trance music is not about psychedelic substances at all.
Anyway its not wise to open this discussion here because the topic will be redirected somewhere else totally.

Aluxe, your suggestion was noted and we'll consider it.
Let's move on to other suggestions as Detox suggested.

first of all great to see aluxe here...
just wanted to say:
it is easy to talk about such stuff ( psychedelics) in a community where someone else is responsible in front of the court.
the best thing to do, if you truely believe in psychedelic mind expansion ( with or without substances) is to start zour own website and put your own name in the disclaimer and take responsibility in front of the court if needed. and just say here i am, and i know why i do this and i believe in my vision and i have something to say and a culture to protect....

Lucidpicnic just in case you havent noticed it there is already a SPIRITUALITY section on the forum (which is ofcourse mind expansion without any psychedelics) which is preety active.
People have to understand that this is A MUSIC FORUM.
If someone wants to talk about politics there are 1 million sites out there to do so. Same for psychedelic substances or ecology or the global economic crisis or whatever.
So back to forum improvement suggestions i guess.

Would be nice if topics could be sorted by something other than timing of the last post: by the starting date, by the number of replies, by how long a topic was active (it’s not the same as the starting date).
Also, user profiles could have a link to the complete list of that user’s posts (sortable like I suggested above). And no, the Search function does not accomplish that (yet, at least).
Buddy/Ignore lists. I have no use for those, but many people do. Also, it makes it easier to figure out a user’s tastes and interests by reading who likes/ignores him and whom he likes/ignores in the user profile.
P.S. The latest mini-argument about drugs is BS, imo. You wanna learn all you can about drugs – do what I did: go and study pharmacology at your local university. This is a community of psytrance fans and producers, and some of us are “clean” – so, don’t tell me there is some absolute and necessary link between the music and the drugs there. But the main thing is: there is no need to open our hosts to potential legal liability. Or do you really think that only psytrance fans read this site?
