I dont want to say bad things about TA, but you just cant compare TA with RMF! I'm on TA for some time now also, and its nice and cosy here in the Dutch forum (and on the dutch TA IRC channel). But TA is just something different. You say that Swamper doenst care about the sharing etc? Hmm... i dont know.

No, Swamper doesn't care about file sharing. If he did care he'd code custom modules to allow for all info to be input allowing a poster to input: Producer/Artist, Title, Remix, and then in another box the full path to the where the file is located. Then I'd have a program run to get the header information of the mp3 and pull the ID3 info and include that within the post information - this of course would all be in a separate database that would be easily searchable so as to easily prevent duplication of postings. I can do all this, I just have other priorities.
That UnknownTracks.com thing took me WEEKS of programming - I have lots of other work to do on that as well for the new TA and integration that'll happen later in the year

Let him buy a DECENT server for the forums! The forum is low & not always online & reachable. Its too crowded. RMF is always fast & reachable. This is not meant personally to Swamper. I respect him that he makes such a site. We should all be glad this site excist, as well as that we should be glad that RMF excists!

Vector jumped on a hosting plan at RackShack that came out prior to better offers being available - In essence he could've received a much better server for about the same price had he waited another 4-6 weeks.
When entering into a hosting agreement with any company it's important to note both uptime and connectivity. RackShack has been pretty good in the past year however there have been issues with the Cogent lines they've been trying to integrate into their system. Also their switch to a new data center delayed me from going there since there have been numerous network interruptions in the transition and this site and my other sites don't need the chance of that happening. Sure, I could get on a kickass server right now but the price is hefty - it's better to wait a while and endure some slowness during peak hours than to settle for a hosting plan that you're stuck with because you jumped the gun.
Believe it or not the forums manage to handle 75 ppl comfortably on a 300 Mhz machine with 512 megs ram. Why? Due to heavy optimization - check here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...&threadid=30860 if you're curious.. It's a few months old and some things have changed (namely version numbers) but it gives you an idea. I have some people pay me to customize their servers because it's not easy for the non-techie to fiddle with all this sort of junk
Trust me, when the other server is here it will be worth the wait. ETA is mid next month. |

You dont really get much of the things i wrote, did you?
All the things you wrote here, i just explained that RMF didnt do such things. You are the little kid here, learn to read!
Ofcourse i know what the 'jail' on TA is.
There is no such thing as a blacklist on RMF. Just 1 moderator keeps a list for himself, but he doenst act to people on the list. They are just being watched by him.
You know what it takes to run and moderate a forum? Dont think you do!
It takes a lot of work and a lot of effort! You get pm'ed and mailed all day, and sometimes that can get on your nerves. You just cant always tell people how to act or what to do. You just simply act!
All the respect to all the moderators of the TranceAddict and RMF forum..
And the RMF forum isnt run in a hap hazzard fashion.
There arent half as much quarrels and flamings than here on TA.
I can show you tons of fights here on TA, like that between a certain Miss ?. that fights a lot in the Dutch forum.....
And don't gimme bad stuff about the Dutch forum, cause you English/American people really dont know what is going on there. Its one happy family..
Greetz,

First off I wasn't calling you a lil kid or anyone else on the board of RMF a kid. I said it's like lil kids are running the board....you've heard of similies...a comparison using like or as....it was simply a comparison...maybe "you should learn to read". And don't come here and call me names when I never disrespected you in such a fashion! I understand that it takes alot of time and patience to run a forum. I'm not blind to that fact. But obviously people are being banned from RMF for reasons that they don't even know about. Example plainly given Tiesto14. Possibly if he had been warned he would have stopped. I know that mods listen to people on the boards. And I know that it takes alot of effort to keep people on the boards in line. But I feel that it is poor moderation to just ban someone without a fair warning. And possibly the people who were so-called "harrassed" by Tiesto14 should have said something to him directly before getting mods involved...that's what PM's are for. Snuggle...I could care less about whether there is more or less flaming on RMF as compared to TA. That was not my point. My disagreement was in the way people are banned on RMF without warning. I heard your explanation that it is impossible to warn everyone and personally I think that is a pretty weak arguement. Maybe if RMF wants people to act a certain way there should be a user agreement that all members are to sign before joining RMF. If a memeber is expected to share a certain # of files per year with the rest of the members then that should be stated up front before they join. Then that would take away all of the pressure of having to warn people all of the time for this infraction or that infraction. Writing up a user agreement and having it as part of the registration process wouldn't be that hard of a thing to do. File sharing seems to be a big part of RMF....that's a great thing. But when I registered for RMF I don't remember seeing any requirement to share with anyone. |

SNUGGLE....
you says its out of your league right....well this is an EXACT quote from RareMusicFinder on the subject that YOU posted --->
""""""I banned him.....
I'm trying to ban more & more leechers these days.
Yesterday i found out that some guy, that was on the tranceaddict forum, was a leecher on RMF. He asked how it was possible that he couldnt see the download forums anymore.
So i banned him also.
Maybe it sounds a bit cruel, but its best for the other members.
We should keep the forums a bit clean.
But hey, we as moderators cant do all the work! That would be too much! RMF is a forum to bring musiclovers together. Mp3's are illegal (har har ), so its also important to make up your own network of mp3 sharing friends. Thanx to RMF i got a big icq list with guys i know (Tais, Chicane, Interdance etc etc).....
RMF is more than mp3, and you can see Vector is changing the whole website in that direction.
Greetz,
SnuggLe """""""""""
NOW you said in that quote that YOUUUUU banned them...so its NOT of your league......YOU ARE LYING .....
i still dont know why i was banned considering i did share...and the people u mentioned in your post on RMF "Chicane,Tais and Interdance...." well i shared with Chicane...and Interdance FLAMED me when i gave him access to MY FTP and he stole a sets from me and STILL hasnt given me ANYTHING back...so why isnt he banned..????.....
YOU say that TA people act like kids or something like that, i forgot what u said....well i have emailed Vector and the support group several times about why i was banned and havent received and email back as to WHY...but every time i email or PM SWAMPER her gets right back to me..or trys his hardest to fix any problem I or someone else has...so dont say TA is not equal to RMF...atleast Swamper gets back to me...thats MATURE..unlike Vector...
BUT for you to say u have no control on the situation i just prooved that you do...so please dont lie to me or other people to make it look like you you are in the clear...when in fact u banned me for SHARING...and asking people to share....maybe u should go ban Interdance because he FLAMED the hell outta me by taking sets and giving nothing in return....
whatever.…..NOW I KNOW WHY I ALWAYS POST ON TRANCEADDICT.,.,…THEY ARE THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT |

Thanks Snuggle for explaining it to me better. I might of read the thread over there wrong. Like I said, I completely agree with the booting of leechers (people that just respond "thnx" and crap like that), so keep up the good work. I think RMF is still a kick as site and like you said we are very different over here at TA. But we all have one thing in common, and that's music.
Good to see you here, sorry it came under crappy circumstances. If you didn't read my reply on RMF, great sig again (good job Henkie :D )
Swamper, no words can honestly give you credit for what you've done here in TA-land. Seriously, besides the fact that we created some great friendships here, but the knowledge of music is enough for me.
Thanks for the site. And I can't wait to see the updates and new look. Oh yeah, UnknownTracks.com kisck ass too.
