One Thing You can Change About DMusic?

milladrive	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 6:40 PM I knew it was too good to last. ...So az, it's personal, huh? It's not the job I do you dislike, it's me as a person. Ahhhh. Now I understand. So, what is it about me "as a person" that you dislike? ...And if you sent Bug a note, then why should you respond ln public with that negitivity too? You don't think I'm gonna respond to that? This is what makes me think you _look_ for combative situations.
Frawgster	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 7:11 PM /me nudges milla. You got the 200th post bro.
azhazhellfire	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 7:12 PM fuk it, I DO LIKE MILLA. i get all this shit from people i like at dmusic tryna turn me against him cus he dont like me and he's banned them etc. well FUK YOU ALL!!!! milla, there is absoloutley nothing wrong with you as a person, people here dont like you cus your the one who does the dirty work (banning people), if you didn't do it then someone else would then that admin would be hated. thank you i'll be here all week.
Number4	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:00 PM is milla the only person who can ban people? how many administators are there on dmusic? and what is each of their fuction?
Cryxan	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:18 PM sigh There are a bunch of admins, some in the public eye, and some are nearly invisible to the general membership. Some are more involved than others. And milla hasn't banned a single person. Get off his back, people. Sheesh.
starseven	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:23 PM hmm... really? who doeas ban people? dont get me wrong i'm sure some of the people deserve it... i have seen myself where some people jsut come in here to cause trouble.... but who is ther person who actually bans them?... i was under the impression that that was Milla Job..... or at least part of his job....

starseven	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:25 PM damn,, that is the second time that has happened to me WTF
Cryxan	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:35 PM I don't think there's much point in naming names. When a member is banned, it's to be thought of as an act DMusic takes, not as something an individual admin does. It may be just one or two people that actually do it, but they have the support and backing of others.
OmegaDaemon	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:37 PM milla's not an asshole personally, it's just his job
starseven	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:41 PM cryxan--makes sense.. thanks for the info Omega--thanks for sharing your opionion
Cryxan	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:46 PM
Expose	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 10:47 PM Omega has a point. If milla was just an artist and not an admin, he'd be a lot more liked by some here. Being an authority matches with being a prick, but usually never by choice.
milladrive	Date: December 11, 2002 @ 11:09 PM Az, I don't dislike you that much. In fact, you've been doin' a pretty decent job tryin' to be nice lately. Believe me, I've noticed. You can be a pretty nice guy when ya wanna be.
Svensta	Date: December 12, 2002 @ 8:46 AM Being in authority means having to enforce rules. People don't like being made to behave. Just ask any felon what he thinks about the local police force. Admins are just regular people who have taken on the responsibility for keeping order in a medium that does NOT lend itself to order. Everyone that gets their wrists slapped takes umbrage at this and rants and raves and makes personal attacks. It is FAR more an indication of the quality of person THEY are, then the mark of character (or lack thereof) of the administrator in question (Milla, or any of the other seeming thousand orangeys around here) If you obey the rules, you will tend to get along just fine with authority, if you don't, you will battle them constantly, and THEY WILL WIN, it's their site. And that really honks you off. Tough." id="27989">Gotta say I don't believe "being an authority matches with being a prick" at ALL. Being in authority means having to enforce rules.

azhazhellfire	Date: December 12, 2002 @ 2:41 PM i compltetley believe that milla hasn't banned anyone... but how have we all ended up thinking that he has?
milladrive	Date: December 12, 2002 @ 2:52 PM Az, yes, I'm the one who's buttons they push, so yes, I'm the one who usually ends up advocating the eventual banning. But it takes quite a bit of beligerence without conscience to get yourself banned from this place. You know how it is at deviantART, right? It's often not pretty when it comes to bannings. And they won't explain each one of them to the community, either.
Frawgster	Date: December 12, 2002 @ 6:46 PM I ban people, damn't. DON'T FUCK WITH ME DAMN YOU! /lie
ChillinBuzz	Date: December 13, 2002 @ 5:13 AM Kentucky Fried Frog
Svensta	Date: December 13, 2002 @ 8:44 AM I thought frogs were supposed to be considerate and charming. I think Kermit is covering up for his species.
milladrive	Date: December 13, 2002 @ 2:42 PM hehehe. ..To tell ya the truth, little is it known that "frawgster" is actually short for "bullfrawgster." It's an extremely rare species that emanates mainly from from the region of the world where the Rio Grande meets the Gulf Of Mexico. They're friendly under normal circumstances, but if one bites you when disturbed, it can be very poisonous.

OmegaDaemon	Date: December 13, 2002 @ 7:50 PM
Expose	Date: December 14, 2002 @ 2:38 PM Slightly wider shoutboxes. Somethings are too big for a shout and I don't want to bother noting them. And thumb's must've had something done to it... it only accepts 4 shouts at a time
HeavyAL	Date: December 14, 2002 @ 3:56 PM I want to be able to change my genre any time, for any tune (of mine), and I want to be able to mark 'favorite' threads.
Cryxan	Date: December 15, 2002 @ 4:32 AM In the help section, add instructions on how to upload a user icon. Pleeeze.
starseven	Date: December 15, 2002 @ 4:47 PM loooks like Herr MIlla is still deleting my threads...if you dont want me here then take me out of the system.. or just send me a note saying you dont want me here.... dont be a dick
mcarp555	Date: December 15, 2002 @ 7:47 PM Anybody smell duck?
teknokimono	Date: December 15, 2002 @ 8:44 PM I don't see how anyone can complain about being banned. Whether it's deserved or not. This is a free service, therefore you have no say, nobody does. However, improper bannings will diminish a site's reputability, therefore this alone limits their abilities to ban people. I'd suggest dmusic implements a system that allows people to annonymously report "offenders", or request a post to be removed. If enough people request it, then those who run the site take notice, and a simple message is sent to the person saying "Your post was moderated by request of the dmusic population". Or something like that.
victorsskull	Date: December 15, 2002 @ 8:51 PM thats a good idea but could also be a desaster
OmegaDaemon	Date: December 15, 2002 @ 11:23 PM too....lazy....to re-read....thread... i don't know if it has been suggested (most likely it has) but the ability to upload different quality versions (bitrate) of the same song would be a plus, as some people prefer a higher bitrate for quality some (56kers) prefer a lower bitrate for faster downloads (not to mention smaller file size)
nickefuck	Date: December 17, 2002 @ 8:29 PM THERE ARE MORE GENRES NEEDED i.e. GABBA/DEATH METAL/THRASH/GRINDCORE/JUNGLE/DNB
THEORIAN	Date: December 22, 2002 @ 3:24 AM One thing I would change is to make it more customizable. I need to get back into php and html so I can help you guys. The time is just not there tho..errg.
leflaw	Date: December 22, 2002 @ 11:18 AM keep it commin dudes. We read this stuff and try to incorporate it in our re-coding efforts, which are on-going.
WeeZee	Date: December 22, 2002 @ 11:51 AM DMusic Should Have Suttin' Under the Song Title where You Can put a Description of The Song...
Svensta	Date: December 23, 2002 @ 11:23 AM What's Gabba
azhazhellfire	Date: December 23, 2002 @ 4:11 PM isn't gabba... a bit like goth or somethin... oh i can't remember
Expose	Date: December 24, 2002 @ 10:43 AM How 'bout rotating the picks sometime? After a few months the same songs are in the picks, and the same over 1000 artists are in the bin. Listen to them, really, it's gotten to the point where I know by heart the 20 top songs here.
Cryxan	Date: January 5, 2003 @ 10:49 PM Now that artists can sell their CDs through DM, those that take advantage of the service could use more ways of letting others know about it. Maybe it could appear on both their artist page and userpage, with a pic of the album cover and a link to the page where people can buy the CD. It's just a thought, I know this service is still in the beginning stages.
ssokolow	Date: January 22, 2003 @ 12:46 AM Are there any plans to add support for songs recorded into Ogg Vorbis format?
RasMasta	Date: February 1, 2003 @ 4:51 AM Offer the option to give a breif description of your track so people know what the song is about.
jkate	Date: February 4, 2003 @ 9:04 AM I'd like the option to upload my own lo fi version, just so I can control the sound. Also the way that the DM picks and bin work are not really user friendly. Maybe a less busy song panel, like make the links to hi fi, lo fo, add to list etc very small icons, instead of linked text. It would give a much cleaner appearance. Perhaps some text at the top of the bin that explains the bin, instead of needing to hunt down the FAQ for it...and maybe making your code open source so geeks like me can borrow and suggest some of the finer stuff you are doing I love to tweak, and I'm endlessly interested in php. (ok or at least make the code available to me? lol...I'll sign whatever you want, I'm curious like a )
milladrive	Date: February 4, 2003 @ 10:14 AM Will you sign our casts? Ya know, the ones we'll have on our arms and legs for makin' the code public? =P hehe
RasMasta	Date: February 5, 2003 @ 10:54 PM lol milladrive. jkate you are talking about a whole new layout the way you described things. Why is it important you control the sound of the lo-fi? It doesn't matter to much to me when I hear it being streamed
jkate	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 4:22 PM Not really a new layout - if you know anything about PHP you know it's fairly flexible.
jkate	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 4:29 PM www.anti-industry.com" id="32436">oh and I read through all these posts, and it sounds like dmusic needs to switch from (what I suspect might be) a nuke type layout to phpBB. My site's done in phpBB and it's got all these features, edit, preview, html, bbcode, etc. There's also a portal feature that mimics the opening page. There are also templates you can pick from to view, or make design changes easy. But I have no idea what this site is about - I'm just into forums www.anti-industry.com
Fiji	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 4:53 PM I would change the tint of the copyright color down at the bottom. Damn straight!
Fiji	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 5:09 PM Oh, and I want the right to ban people.
milladrive	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 6:36 PM You can't have it. Nyah.
Fiji	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 6:46 PM :damn:
RasMasta	Date: February 6, 2003 @ 7:21 PM Dmusic.com best site on the net " id="32479">Change the copyright at the bottom to say 1999-2003! lol...you know I love you guys at Dmusic.com best site on the net
jkate	Date: February 12, 2003 @ 8:23 PM I'm resurrecting because I have an idea that may or may not have been suggested already.. It would be really useful to have a small box, maybe above the ONLINE box that says: You have 4 new Notes. You have 3 new comments on your music page. You have 5 unread replies to your posts in the Forum.
milladrive	Date: February 12, 2003 @ 9:03 PM I love it. ...Perhaps 4N 3M 5F even.
Fiji	Date: February 12, 2003 @ 9:25 PM I like that idea Kate. Very interesting.
Jennae	Date: February 12, 2003 @ 11:12 PM yep
jkate	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 8:45 AM I have just been getting LOST on here, forgetting what artists I've replied to, whose personal page to check, whose artist page to check, journals are a big one... etc. It would be awesome if there was a way to track. I mean I know there is, I just don't know if it's going to be a serious pain in the arse to code. But that's definitely a usability improvement
milladrive	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 9:04 AM http://jkate.dmusic.net/comments" id="33404">Well, I'm sure you're aware of this, but since not everyone is, I'll point it out. It can help until such an idea is put into place. http://jkate.dmusic.net/comments
creativetim	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 9:13 AM lol @ jive
jkate	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 9:21 AM Hey thanks Mill, I didn't know about that.
milladrive	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 9:26 AM
TheTransformerX	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 7:34 PM i would change the color of the whole pages... this color blue is getting boring... even though blue is my fav. color
Fiji	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 9:49 PM I think we need to get payed according to our points. Maybe 50 cents per hundred points or something.
azhazhellfire	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 10:15 PM actually it would be slightly more appropriate for us to pay them for every improvement they make to the site.
Fiji	Date: February 13, 2003 @ 10:22 PM It was a joke, but yes, I agree.
rekanize	Date: February 17, 2003 @ 1:30 PM There should be some other way for people to hear your music aside from a link in the midst of 1000's. Or doing a search for a band that you've already heard. People should have to vote for 10 songs for every one song they upload. this way artist that are potentialy better then artists ranked in 1st place can get their REKANITION. -REKA
rapidhopeloss	Date: February 19, 2003 @ 7:07 AM More song/album flexibility (descriptions, Lyric viewing, cover art)
thumbtack	Date: February 19, 2003 @ 6:12 PM Hmm...Intersting idea mark..
Jayadeep	Date: March 7, 2003 @ 10:08 PM Make it easier to upload music onto your site. It took me hours to get one on, and I still can't get anymore.
Jennae	Date: March 7, 2003 @ 11:21 PM I failed to see fonts and forums in here
Jennae	Date: March 7, 2003 @ 11:26 PM damn those extra pages!!
slangdee	Date: May 15, 2003 @ 6:57 AM add chat rooms to dmusic
creativetim	Date: May 15, 2003 @ 11:22 AM irc.dmusic.com # DMusic" id="45978">irc.dmusic.com # DMusic
CountryMusikMan	Date: May 15, 2003 @ 4:13 PM Yes Chat would be nice it would keep me off yahoo for a bit. I think DMusic is fine the way it is otherwise maybe a radio station would help!
ShakerGreen	Date: May 29, 2004 @ 12:14 AM need some way to search by region, country, sounds like,
robbydadrummer	Date: May 29, 2004 @ 6:30 AM since this thread surfaced, i wish it was possible to update a song's mp3 file or title without having to delete and lose all the comments and stats.
Intergalacti...	Date: May 29, 2004 @ 9:05 AM I think a chat page would be cool where you can talk to people instead of sendin them notes all the time
ICF	Date: May 29, 2004 @ 9:56 AM Yeah - The shoutbox's are too small to chat in and notes get annoying so a small chat pace would be kwl
victorsskull	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 10:46 PM the charts
onewhodreams	Date: June 1, 2004 @ 9:23 PM ditto on the charts.
Rodrica	Date: June 2, 2004 @ 5:33 AM I just want a private password only area to upload/download one or two songs - so that unfinished collabs don't get entered in the charts
CowgirlBebop	Date: June 19, 2004 @ 5:04 PM i haven't posted in the forums in months because i hate them now.
