yes, i've already adjusted to AGT post counts being disabled. dami ngang mga forumites dyan na ginagawa nilang pampataas ng post count ang AGT, so disabling post counts on AGT discourages this practice...that's all well and good...
but yes indeed, taking out the whole anything goes forum is way too extreme. again, we are musicians in our after-hours time, so talking solely about music on these forums is pretty much like a lawyer speaking legalese with his wife and kids when he gets home for dinner. we musicians have lives too outside of our craft...we have girlfriends, wives, families, friends, co-workers, classmates, and outside interests that deserve a separate forum for discussion and sharing. then there's the concept of networking...and friendship between musicians that are fostered, especially in AGT...
