A separate forum, well moderated, for jokes would be a good idea rather than Don's massive thread.

I agree with all Sundance and bobcflatpicker have said about songwriting. ie Mr Gannon's suggestion of "help my song". I too feel that this would not be a positive move as collaborations seem to naturally occur.

+1 for an "add-ons" forum. Maybe with a list of free vsti's that work with the Software.

Some forums should also be "read only" for people that have not registered their PG products. This would not stop newbies gaining insight into PG Music software and we would not loose the people who post and do not have PG software as they could still post in the off topic forum, for example. I have learnt/gained a lot from one in particular.
This could include suggestions on how to improve the products and/or manuals as in the tips and tricks forum now.
