I've set up a Discourse site in the hope that you may find it interesting or otherwise simply for my own personal curiosity. It's been a bit quiet around here and if Facebook is now where the conversations are then I'm also missing out. Maybe I've never found a better forum for music than the 313 list, but my personal interest is more generally underground electronic music, and UR as an inspiration.
https://disco.k-os.net/ (Discourse @ K-os.net) Feel free to post your SoundCloud things there (it has support for embedding players too), if you want to (anything goes). I'll keep the site up if there's enough interest to keep it going. It's all set-up with email integration and good security for passwords etc, but also allowing folk to use Twitter or Google, or even Yahoo for authentication, and Facebook if I can get that to work. Currently Facebook login is disabled. This sits on it's own virtual dedicated server, supports mobile browsers and things. Worth evaluating if you are interested in that sort of thing. I'd help out if there's interest in setting something up specifically for 313.
