To further improve KeyboardForums to be a better resource for its members we want to have an open discussion about ideas and features that will benefit the members on this board.

Well, here is my 2c:

A section/guide covering all the questions and information beginners look for, like how all this technofunky keyboards jazz works. As you can see alot of the questions here is about that. Things like how it all works, what all the features are and what they mean, what to look for, how to buy and that kinda thing.

I think a section with information on how to play/lessons would also be cool, seeing as alot of people are also new(like me!). Lists of online resources, recommendations on books, how to find a good tutor, mailing lists and such.

Sections in the forums for people with similair tastes in music genre's. For example, the synth/electronica scenes, metal/rock, pure piano etc... All the main groups where members can discuss things related to their specific genres.

I have a few ideas
For one thing, this site needs to look a little more badass. Make the top part look cooler. Instead of that crazy bright colors with multiple views of that portable keyboard, put like a Virus TI on there or something. Or maybe just have a close up of some keys, and then "keyboardforums.com" or somethin like that. The graphics look rad, but they just piss me off for some reason. Idk. maybe its just me. But I think it should look more badass.

We should also have more sections. I think it would be a great idea to have different music styles, because keyboards are way different in each type of music.

Also, maybe have an intruments section with different sunsections, like synthesizers, piano, workstations, midi, etc.

Those are just a few ideas. Peace.

Oh yeah! one more thing- I dont understand the bottom few sections. Why are the subsections on keyboard videos yamaha and casio? that doesn't really make sense to me. There are a lot more than just those 2 companies. And plus, it should just be one fat section, or maybe organized by genere. Alright im out.

Exactly!

And I would enable the "Stats centar" on the bottom of the forum...
You know... where it says who is online, how many posts are sent etc...etc...

The forum that I am most active in,is the Kara-Moon.com forum,as one of it's great features,unlike any other forum that I know of,is that you can easily upload audio & pictures when you post a thread.

It's just a matter of clicking on the "options" icon and you can add audio & pictures-just as easily as adding text to your postings.

I think this feature would be the most prolific way to help add more atmosphere and activity in this forum,because this forum is a dead stick,compared to alot of other forums.

I am on the Kara-Moon forum on a daily basis,because there is such a communal buzz happening there everyday.

I joined this forum because it deals strictly with keyboards,but for some reason,the brand-specific forums like Korg for instance,get all the attention and activity and perhaps this forum is just too generalized and it's on a very small scale & it needs to expand & branch out somehow.

Yeah that would be definitely a good idea to be able to share audio clips and such, it would make it easier for everyone to explain things, share ideas, etc.

Sharing audio is definately a great idea the only problem with that is how to handle the bandwidth issues over the long run. A mp3 could be about 2 megs each... if its hit 1000 times a day the bandwidth issue can be out of control.

Keep the suggestions coming .... all are being considered and will be implemented if possible.

The implementation of audio file sharing is most certainly a possiblity,provided that this site is adequately funded by more sponsorship,so that you will have the resources to increase the bandwidth of this site.

I think it's fair to say,that without additional sponsors,this site will cease to flourish & eventually & inevitably fold.

If you could somehow get some major keyboard retailers or manufacturers to support this site,as means for them to promote thier products,everyone benefits from it.

Word of mouth-via the keyboard user,is the cornerstone of promotional sales for musical instrument companies,so I just don't see the complication in expanding this site in this manner.
