It would be nice to be able to upload loops and samples to a location that everyone could access them, there are however a few considerations to take into account.

* Who would have access
* How much access
* Copyright implications
* File size
* File type

Stickies are a great idea in the short term, but tend to clutter up forums when used overly.

Linking to web pages is also good, but the main problem being that web pages have a habit of moving around, therefore copies would need to be taken and stored (with the permission of the web page copyright holder)

Im not deliberatly sounding negative, just playing devils advocate. On a positive note...

* How about a monthly contest to find the best synthloop/ percussion loop/ vocal loop/ techno lyric

This is somthing that would limit the amount of samples being uploaded, and ensure quality, it would of course build slowly, the top three being put in every month. The loops would have to be royalty and copyright free, perhaps under the creative commons licensing arrangement.

How about this one, once the amount of loops has reached critical mass, perhaps it would be good to sell the loop pack online to make a little bit of money to plow back into an event or perhaps a decent managed webspace for all those who contribted to have their music available in a more promotive (is that a word???) environment?

All this under the BOA logo.

I know it sounds a bit commercial, but it would certainly benefit us all, and increase focus on working together,.

just my 2p.
