I just realized that what we wanted to do is basically what TA's singles' section is like. You have the song, it gets rated individually, and comments can be made. The project at hand only adds track of the week but allows for more songs to be downloaded unlike TA's infrequent updates.

I wonder if TA would incorporate Quickbase into their singles section to increase songs output.

I PMed Swamper for a request to add another sub-section to the POLLS forums. I'll let you guys know his reponse once I recieve it.

Sly

Great, lets leave all this project news for the TA forum users

If I were to link to songs directly on there then I would kill the service within a few days once they realized how much of their bandwidth I was eating up. Having a bunch of sites do this is what led to MyPlay becoming more strict with their lockers and MySpace.com to file for bankruptcy in May.

'Infrequent' updates will stay - it takes time to find quality and it's only me who takes care of everything on this site... I just spent over 20 hours reprogramming the web server in C and adding new functionality to prevent lamers using download accelerators from sucking up all the bandwidth from everyone - how many mp3 webmasters out there would ever bother with such a thing? Not many.

Keep this going for a couple of weeks within the forum, i'm not creating another section just yet. If it works and is organized and 1 or 2 of you want to keep it running then I can give you 2 access to add individual people for access to another forum within the site where they can discuss/get account details for this thing and all that.

Having it open to everyone will just kill it because greedy people always fuck up everything.

Agreed...

I totally agree w/ Swamper...there is no way I want Quickbase to just be open to anyone who wants to download. That would take up way too much bandwith and eventually get the site shut down. Look at this thread for example 90 replies, but 831 views. That means there are a ton of leechers who just want to take, but not contribute. I think that the decision to force people to register to view the link will cut down on the leeching and make this something that is just ours.

I'm excited that Swamper would even consider giving us our own sub-section to run on our own. Hopefully we can make this work and turn into something positive.

Also as this becomes more popular I'm sure more people will want to register...should there be a limit on the number of registered users or should I just keep allowing people to register. Maybe I can monitor which users haven't uploaded a tune within the previous 2 weeks and remove them from the list. What do you all think???

Sounds logical. You should lock down the number of uploaders (25max, 1up per person) so only a selected few can be able to upload. Put me down as one of those people

Hm...there's still only 18 songs uploaded. I'll try to get my picks on right now to see if it actually works this time.

We'll getting there!

Sly

Is there still room for one more

I've tried to upload three more times, all with different files but I keep getting the 404 error.

I agree with swamper, if it works, he'll give US the section to work this out, huum so, like he said, leave this to only the ones participating, and give the link to only those that want to help, cause if anyone wants to only LEECH and not upload, then his forced to give a review, wich is the fare thing, so Im wondering, those that want to upload can have the link tthrough PM, so the downloads dont go out of control. And if anyone wants to help reviewing, he can also have the link PM'ed, so this can stay organized, and not mess up with the D/Loads.

Now, you say there's 18 songs, but I allready posted 3, do you want other fews to register and upload, or can I upload 1 more ?
