Forum down time
The forum is going down temporarily, as we migrate the web server from Nginx to Caddy. Hopefully, this will also afford us a lot of extra configuration that can deal with some of the issues we were having since July that only just seemed to have let up.

Forum DDoS
The forum has been undergoing gradually more DDoS-like requests from Chinese IP addresses since July. I don't even know if stuffing the forum behind CloudFlare would be a viable option.
New releases are now shorter, is streaming overriding artistic creativity?
Popular music is shrinking. From 2013 to 2018, the average song on the Billboard Hot 100 fell from 3 minutes and 50 seconds to about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Six percent of hit songs were 2 minutes 30 seconds or shorter in 2018, up from just 1% five years before.
Stands to reason if artists are being paid per stream, long gone are the 10 or 15 minute tracks.
