The site design is not great but it does grow on you-it is simple and works as intended without a lot of the crap that I find annoying in many sites. What doesn't grow on you is the shit that rises to the top of most discussion there, which may or may not be an inherent weakness of the design.

The last sentence at least is a quote from another musician, fyi.

It is not pretty looking, but it has better function than most other sites that does grow on you. Unfortunately the vast majority of users seem to be 19 year old shitheads.
