Why is there no "Song Requests" Section?

Why is there no "Song Requests" Section?

Considered and rejected.

Here are some of the reasons:

After there are a large number of posts in that thread, searching would be a problem and scrolling a chore.
How many times has a search result linked you to page #xx in Jazz or a really long thread like Gypsy Jazz?
When folks post and accurately follow these instructions,
https://www.irealb.com/forums/showth...-Request-Songs
new "ask" threads are eventually included in search results as a separate thread-link easily identified by the correct song-thread title format which is different from other search results that simply include the "R"-word.

Song Title - Composer Name(s) (Request)

Also when someone who is about to post a title they’re looking for follows the instructions and actually searches first, they often discover the tune is already posted. If there was a separate thread like you suggest, there would likely be a ton of posts looking for existing songs.

If there were a thread like you propose, where would folks post their helpful charts? Most likely not in their own song-thread per posted guidelines,

Who would clean that up?

What if someone posts a chart without checking the "ask" thread? (Or even if they did...)
What would happen to the "ask" post? How would others know it had been answered?
By following the instructions and also subscribing to that individual song-request thread, posters can learn of answers.
