Should we have a section for writings?

Ya know. Stuff like poems, lyrics and what not.

Yeah, why not. I used to write alot actually. Half of my band's lyrics were written by me. I still write every now and then too.

I vote no. There's already too many sections, and it should be kept focused on guitars. There's off-topic and chat forums, so they could be used instead. If anything, I'd like to see a gallery section where people can post pics of their custom or non-custom guitars.

I bring this up because I know there are word filters and the sub-forum wouldnt have them in place. I had mine deleted before.

I vote no for a few reasons, for one I'm kind of a jerk. Also most people have nothing important to say and giving these people a forum will bring in a wave of bad poetry that may bring the boards to a halt. Personally I think everyone can do without rantings about killing people, and seeing F*** every third word. Sure I don't have to read it and there may even be more than a few intelligent, insightful things posted, but I doubt it.
In fact the reason I haven't shared an writings with anyone here is because most of what I have to say has been said by someone else, and usually better.

I basically agree with El Cid, but if there was such a sub forum, I'd like
to submit this simple haiku:
f*** you, you dumb f***!
what the f*** is wrong with you?
f*** you, you dumb f***!

Of course, its possible that I'm way too cynical, and the considered
prose and poetry of others will reveal something enlightening, if not
positively beautiful. And if that happens, I'll join a convent, i swear

That's just plain stupid.

Mr WizardNeck, I'm afraid you simply don't have the highly refined,
exquisitely sophisticated sense of humor it takes to understand the
real hilarity of my haikus. I'm clearly a genius waiting to be discovered...

An X of F***s is clearly beyond human appreciation.

Wow, I didn't even notice the X. It wasn't conscious, i swear - thanks!

The letter 'f', followed by several asterisks, is not, technically, a swear,
dammit! Neither is "dammit", dammit! Although, I have to say,
f*** is still my favorite word. As an adjective, it's the perfect complement
to any noun, just ask your favorite English teacher!

Voted no too

If you have lyrics and stuff you want to post you can put them in "Multimedia: Upload Pictures and Sounds" as the description allows for 'other files'.
That's a general enough place. Just be cool about it, okay?

(as in, read the FAQ on posting in general if you haven't).
