For instance, all the threads on music festivals (Bonnaroo, Langerado, Wakarusa) could be moved there, as well as Musical Alphabet, Jukebox... just those alone would give the reinstated Piano Lounge more traffic.

That's what I was thinking... Of course leaving the ghost threads that redirect to their new location up for a few days too. I think after a while people may have started using it more and more and posting their music threads in there again. And of course if the admins couldn't keep up they could have created temporary mods of some of the bored PW's...

Then it devolved into this thankfest thing that, while stroking the uploader's ego, is absolutely useless for any real purpose.
This whole 'thanks whoring' thing is a fairly recent phenomenon, and is in fact a bastardization of what the feature was intended for.
Personally, the # of people who download one of my uploads tells me far more about whether or not I did good than any number of 'Thank You!s' ever will.
