The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Just out of curiousity, I thought I'd start up this little poll.

Hmm..I had my vote in
"All of the above, plus I am capable of transposing notes to other keys or writing parts for different instruments in the appropriate key for the instrument"

but when I added more options to the poll, my vote didn't follow accordingly and there is no "manual override" for the votes.  Oh well :p

I can't do anything.  I can't even stay in tune with a radio.  Not to mention that I find all but LBT music to be annoying usually.

What would your vote be if you could re-do it?
Mine would be 3rd from the bottom.

Yet you could stay in tune very well with us during "Bestest Friends"! :D

But that's what you said before... well, I guess what I meant to ask is what did you vote instead of that?

Oh the poll above, it shows my vote in:
I know all of the keys but have limited knowledge of chords outside of major and minor

I was just stating that is incorrect.  You see 2 votes there, with one of them being mine.  My vote should Not be there.  It is supposed to be in

All of the above, plus I am capable of transposing notes to other keys or writing parts for different instruments in the appropriate key for the instrument"

That's because I have literally watched LBT 10 several thousand times. :lol:

I have all of the major keys memorized, a few of the minor keys, and some basic knowledge of chord structures


I never took music theory, just played the stuff and learned off of that.

I am forced to play piano by my parents.

I also play the violin on my own accord.

I chose the second option. I mean, I do consider myself a music lover. I just have a hard time trying to understand the notes.

:lol I have brought this thread back from the dead!

Not sure what to answer in this poll. I don't really have a good instrument.

I wasn't sure how to answer so I didn't.  I don't remember much but way way way back in fourth grade the substitute teacher did teach the class how to read and write music, though I don't remember any of that since I had no reason to remember and keep using it.   She was the teacher for 2-3 months while the regular teacher was on maternity leave.
