At the suggestion of several members, I have added some requisite screening questions for newly registering members. Registrants' responses will remain private.

HS Teoh replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion Fugue in C-Major for piano
"There also isn't much in the way of discussions about composition, it's mostly just questions about using MuseScore or just brief comments of the "oh that's nice" nature and then you just move on.  Doesn't feel like a discussion about orchestration…"

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion Fugue in C-Major for piano
"Yes, as MuseScore is surely now the most popular notation software, I'd expect the forum to be pretty active. But, as you say, most posts in notation software fora are of a technical nature and many composers don't want to post works there,…"

HS Teoh replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion Fugue in C-Major for piano
"There's a fair bit of postings in the Musescore forums, but most of it isn't composition-related.  Also, I don't use Musescore so I don't really feel like I'd belong there anyway."

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion Fugue in C-Major for piano
"I used to be active on Sons of Sibelius and really liked it some years ago -- there was quite a bit happening including competitions. Unfortunately, only one person still seems to post there. it's strange that general sites for composers like this…"

"There used to be quite a few of them, but this was one of the most active before its previous maintainer threw in the towel and it went offline for about a month or two.  By the time Kris noticed that it had gone offline, most of the previous…"

"Before this site goes down entirely, this might be a good time to solicit input on alternative sites that similayly cater to a broad range of compositional styles and skill levels."

"I guess you never got any free time . And if the members who would like to join but can't because there is no longer any moderation here, I guess we have to declare this site, like various other previously good composer sites, moribund. "

"A fugue! I feel like I'm obligated to respond 😅 Maybe later when I get some free time."

"well I did and there's no answer. I guess that's another composer's forum bites the dust..... (Sons of Sibelius was very nice for a few years and i even won a competition there but no-one goes there any more even though it technically is still alive)"

  • Oh, and please welcome our new members, if you have a chance.
  • I've allowed a few new prospective members through. If you should observe signs of bother, abuse, or any other matter that arouses suspicion, please advise me promptly.. Thanks all.
  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
