Submit a Non-music gear

Site does it on its own. There is no category that says "non-music" that you can use.

Unless the item is specifically related to the sound an artist uses, just don't submit. Seriously, I'm tired of seeing canned Spam and luxury watches all over the place, it doesn't do crap.

Edit: OK, you're submitting for Pewdiepie. I don't even know how to respond to this because I actually feel that this is something people will actually look for.

However, this is after all a music-oriented website. So... seeing Pewdiepie along with the chef, the fisherman, and that other photographer I saw months ago is distressful.

Gchiaren, Jim, Michael, anybody else... your move.

whatever, I'm not sure who half the actual musicians on this site are and I don't always even know what all the stupid boutique pedals on their huge, jackassy boards ae meant to do.... it can be ahrd to care if someone adds a famous fisherman and hispreferred bait 'n tackle.... its just as confusing to me as noise guitarists who have rows of glitch producing pedals and self oscillating fuzzes.... I swear some of these young 'pros' are just other users friends and family members! who has heard of them? I am not saying anything is invalid artistically but you can't ask me to care about it any more than I do about fishing, LOL... to me there are a lot of effects and things that are no more interesting than a fishing rod and designer watches certainly are cooler than a lot of crazy ambience pedals and stuff I will never want to try (whereas I love my collection of fancy watches and am sad to have parted with 2 recently)

Its Michael and GChiaren's server money, so maybe they should decide what's wasting space

I think that some non music items are okay, Laptops for example as long as they are pictured in the source as being used for music related happenings..

Seeing people adding Drinks, Fashion items etc also annoys me. I'm fairly sure there are guidelines at some stage (whether it's the actual guidelines or implied by the submission process) and people are simply not reading it or putting too much thought into it.

If an artist had every drinks brand they ever imbibed, their page would be totally useless to anyone actually interested in their gear...

Alright, now you're getting my actual opinion instead of my initial humorous response...

An equipment site encompassing all the arts is obviously not what they had in mind when they built it (if you are in any doubt the founders frequent the forum and have explained exactly why they started EB, trust me it was music related), hence why the music gear is carefully categorized and non-music gear does not even have an official category and you had to ask this question in the 1st place.... I mean, look at the forum categorization. Do you see a graphic design category? Or culinary arts? You are being intentionally obtuse; EB is a music site, but if they wanted to expand it I would not care that much. I would probably come on here a lot less if they changed it to include all outlets of creativity because I am fairly disinterested in, say, sculpture or blowing glass.... 2 cool artforms, but I feel like they can get their own sites, we finally have a music site that's like a super-pinterest but for musicians only and the forum is NOT populated entirely by jerks who flame eachother constantly and engage in political and religious arguments that turn schoolyard. It might be unwise to try to expand it too far and mess up a good thing.

Given my druthers I would see EB stay a site for musicians to review instruments and MUSIC equipment and link said stuff to famous users from music history and today. It works well this way and is fun and focused for the people who it was built for. If anything the site has been narrowing in a good way. I went to cullinary school as wella s art college. I am an accomplished painter, designer, illustrator and cook. I discuss those things on other forums unless asked. I don't go around adding Gustav Klimt and his paint brushes to EB just because I admire his work. He didn't play music. I don't particular want to see other non-musicians added or have people discuss their favorite videographers or interior decorators on the forum. Not interested unless it directly relates to music. Not because those artforms are uncool, just because they can (again) start their own sites.

I think some of your confusion stems from the fact that the mods and admins are overworked and can't keep up with all the crap submissions. They are trying to take out all the inappropriate stuff, but you guys have them overwhelmed. Maybe I am wrong, but I am pretty sure I am right about this.
