With the massive success of the Ellie Goulding forum trial thus far, two new AFs have been added on a 3 month trial basis. To pass the criteria, they will need 10 posts per week (minimum) from at least 3 different posters.

Both artists are currently at #1 in the UK right now - Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.

Moderating Shawn will be Calum (head mod), Jay and myself. I will also be overseeing Camila on an interim basis only because we are holding APPLICATIONS! I will have the thread up shortly but we'd like you guys to apply if you'd like to head the Camila forum shortly biggrin.gif

As always, they will show up in your artist selections very shortly and I'll give you all the go-ahead then. In the mean time, you can access the forums by clicking View All Artists, or by using these links:

Camila Cabello
Shawn Mendes

I'm hoping we end up with some mods who ensure this won't happen - as Ellie has proved, a keen mod team can work wonders!

You don’t think Linds was a keen mod then?

Is it time for ones that maybe aren’t working to go?

Billie’s one that might be worth retrying next era/an eras time but it’s not exactly a success at the moment

This has been discussed and it's an ongoing thing!

The answer is no - the situation with Paramore has been explained. Lindsey did a great job but it seemed there was little interest from other people for getting that forum off the ground.

Not sure about Camila but I definitely think Shawn can work, he has quite a few stans on here!

There’s always an excuse to save forums that only get 2 posts a week, even when a new album is released biggrin.gif

The mods aren’t everything. Forums sometimes don’t work despite hard efforts from enthusiastic mods. I’d steer clear from saying things like ‘good mods will make it work’.

It’s like I said with the Lounge a while back, you can’t pin all success and failure on mods. The community have to be trying too.

That said, I have zero interest in either of these artists oops.

Shawn could work given how thirsty this forum is x

Not entirely sure about how Camila can hold up a forum alone, maybe if she was joined by the other 5H members sure, but does she have enough material to create discussion on her own?

yea kinda in agreement with cqm there but ofc willing to be proved wrong laugh.gif

kinda disappointed to see all the trials going to mainstream pop artists though, what about expanding the genre horizon and all that?

surprised halsey isn't getting a shot as well but if she does you know where i am angel.gif

5H can be discussed too! I guess it's ultimately like the Bey forum.

Perhaps, though an enthusiastic and positive mod team can often motivate the community. It's a two-way street really. Paramore didn't work for a number of reasons but Lindsey wasn't one of them, it was one of your examples of the community not getting involved.
