The problem with WARP and µ is they are record labels, not fansites or
community forums - they don't have the time or manpower (personpower?) to
devote to having moderators babysit their forums. Agreed, I think forums are
excellent sources of information (sometimes better than mailing lists
[sic] ) and they do provide a sense of 'community' for users, especially
electronic music listeners (I refuse to use the "I" word) who otherwise
might not know another soul in the real world who shares the same interest
in music. Perhaps if WARP and µ brought their forums back, they could
recruit trusted individuals (fans) to moderate their board so they don't
have to devote the time/money/warm bodies to it and have their cake and eat
it too so to speak.
