Sticky: TOPIC DIRECTORY: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!

[i read everything]

Welcome to the Topic Directory. This is a handy reference for all of the official or very popular threads in the forum. Please check this list before making a thread!

[i read everything]

Note about link list!

These threads have just been linked to provide people with access to a thread on the band they are interested in in case they do not wish to make a thread. Please check out the threads first, though, before posting, to help reduce thread numbers!

Please submit any long lasting, regularly posted in threads of interest in this thread to be added to the link list!

Official threads must be approved as such by a mod, and are only created when there is great need (in the case of extremely repeated groups). Please contact a music moderator regarding making a thread official, however please keep the previous qualifier in mind before doing so.

[i read everything]

Please don't make repeat topics. They tend to clutter the forum, and can upset some of the regulars. I've taken several of the most common topics on asian music and listed them here alphabetically. Even if it's not on the list, it's still good to check around a few pages and make sure your topic isn't already made before you start a new one.
If you find a topic that isn't listed, please tell me.

Please keep all discussion on each of these bands, groups, or people WITHIN their already existing topics. If you a have a specific question, just ask someone in the topic pertaining to the subject.

If you see that someone has made a repeat topic, and no one else has told the person where to post instead, let them know once (unless they start to be uncooperative ... ) and then stop posting in that thread all together. If someone has already told them where to go, then either PM a mod to have it deleted, or leave it alone. DO NOT post in it and keep bumping it up to the top.

And thank you, i know everything, for this.

Quote:

The very simple formula to the start of a good thread, and to help avoid being flamed!

1. name and most recent news (include live information if you want)
2. short biography
3. member profile
4. discography

Here's a list of online stores that you may purchase CDs from. Now you don't have to make a new topic to ask : D
