So I spoke to spyed

victorsskull	Date: January 5, 2012 @ 9:07 PM Yes he will do some things on the site but first thing is first. He wants to know what we don\'t need here so we can clear up the clutter. like the polls and the point system that is pointless or the calender that no one uses. So lets hear what you all have to say please. this is progress and I would like to thank the ones who help pester Spyed and got his attention you know who you are good job
ShadowMom	Date: January 5, 2012 @ 9:39 PM Good for you, and good luck actually getting anything done. I truly hope you stay this time. They are going to need you. Try killing the hot topics box along with those other things. If I think of any more, I'll be back.
ChillinBuzz	Date: January 5, 2012 @ 10:11 PM Captcha box on new users signing up to stop all that spam account crap. Make THAT a priority IF we really have to keep all that messed up coding and database... Things to remove... ? Polls aren't massively relevent and can be covered in forums. Calendar. Yep get shot! The point system that is pointless? Goodbye Point Wh0res keep the other stats, right??? My DMusic - Profile and Settings tabs - maybe merge them? Never understood why Jack had to create submit buttons for every single section, there's something else that could go... ... To be honest, half of what makes up the profile is a waste of time, mostly because it never worked properly (and trust me that one was WAY out of my hands!) but I'd go for that if it means we could have customisable profile colours/settings/whatever. The HTML override on artist pages. It's a great feature don't get me wrong but it's not a great substitute for a settings page that could do the work without the artist needing to be a geek or a script kiddie. Again, I'd want that gone if it meant we got a range of templates to use and/or easier to use customisation settings. One for the coder who has the unenviable task of sorting the forums... Does it REALLY need 3 different folders of templates? (it was in 3 different places when I worked on it, fecking nightmare). Journal/Blog archive section. Get shot of the "all on one page" layout. My page, before I gutted and trashed hundreds of blogs, used to give my browser a heart attack and take forever to load. Needs a far smaller range viewable at a time. The MyDM tab... It's basically all you see on your user page. Nuff said. http://music.dmusic.com/charts/ - same information is shown on music.dmusic.com so pointless having that 2nd page. The News Tree on the news page... It's been there since the dawn of Man. No, seriously though it's been around since I have and I don't think I used it much back then, I never use it now. There's a browse function anyway. http://interact.dmusic.com/team/ how often is this page used? is it entirely relevent? or just needs a major faccelift? I know it was more of a "what DON'T we need" but you just can't stop at such a narrow focal point where this site is concerned, mainly because a lot of it is f&^ked or messed up (partly from the awful fixed width farce). Anyhow... My initial thoughts.
victorsskull	Date: January 6, 2012 @ 5:48 AM get rid of the blog tab in the user page. every one can see you blog already.
victorsskull	Date: January 6, 2012 @ 5:49 AM and the shoutbox tab on the user page. pointless
Distilled1	Date: January 6, 2012 @ 11:38 AM subscriber forum .. admin forum ... both should just be killed there is no need for either.
Distilled1	Date: January 6, 2012 @ 11:46 AM subscriber page and links and info should be removed. http://www.dmusic.com/subscribe/ http://help.dmusic.com/faq/view/87/ there are a lot of links some active some not to old info in all these sub cats http://help.dmusic.com/faq/ although I just noticed I can edit and delete in there so just the subscribe tab maybe.
WTF2	Date: January 6, 2012 @ 11:51 AM I figure you all know what you are doing so I will just ask to make the charts move. Even a little bit would be nice to see it not frozen in time, I do not think much of charts but it looks real bad. Like DM is frozen at 40 below or something. Hey that is a good name for a site 40 below or maybe a record or production company or all of um. This is a great place but it is like going through a music museum many of the artist have not been back since whenever. 1920 or whenever the site started.
victorsskull	Date: January 7, 2012 @ 5:30 PM bump
JohnWilliams	Date: January 8, 2012 @ 10:00 AM why bump dude just have them trim down the site as mentioned above~ and i think if all the fake bot accounts that have been created here over the years they need to go im sure they take up quite a bit of space~ as far as the integrity of the music around here~ keep all the mp3's you have here~ some of them with never be reuploaded~ those accounts keep~ if they uploaded music here then they are a part of dmusic~ as far as the forums we can do with alot less we have already proven that~ what i am more interested in is how and what are they gonna do with the code~ i think they should go with a code like www.system195.com that is a more stable code~ anything else well just make things work around here like uploading and pictures stuff like that artist edit and profile edit~ etc- anyways i hope they start working on this place it really needs it~
pog	Date: January 9, 2012 @ 3:25 PM someone needs to water the ficus tree...
JennaeMusic	Date: January 9, 2012 @ 5:38 PM
WTF2	Date: January 9, 2012 @ 10:04 PM I think maybe he bumped me John , that is ok , I was just saying what it doesn’t need . Ok irrelative to this thread but whatever,
GeneHilbert	Date: January 10, 2012 @ 5:11 AM All you want just as long as I can still boogie......
TameasDust	Date: January 10, 2012 @ 8:22 AM Oh joy more cutting .. He denuded and trashed the forums now he want to know what else we dont need why? Dont we fit on the ram drive he keeps in his pocket? Or does he own soundclick too? Pay no attention I'm just Little People ... as in "If your not cop your Little People" Blade Runner
victorsskull	Date: January 10, 2012 @ 5:26 PM first clean then fix
Distilled1	Date: January 10, 2012 @ 8:15 PM yep clean and then fix... but the real fix is starting all new code or (pre built space and moving files to it) those of us even non coders that have even had a peak at the code that holds our little site together dangling from the rope know , its trash and has to burn... it needs a 200% re build and I am all in to help with anything I can but the code as it sits needs to be almost wiped .. the issue with that is saving the mp3s and data from bands and musicians that will never return to the site it has to be portable to the new code
ChillinBuzz	Date: January 11, 2012 @ 9:45 AM On 9th Jan 2012, WTF2 said: I think maybe he bumped me John , that is ok , I was just saying what it doesn’t need . Ok irrelative to this thread but whatever, NOTHING is irrelevent. The site is being held together with the thinnest of sticky-back tape & the cheapest, dirtiest wood glue there is. Rich is right, the coding here is a total nightmare, broken, bodged & in dire need of throwing out.
pog	Date: January 12, 2012 @ 4:03 PM Arguably, the last time the code was "overhauled" it felt like the beginning of the end. It really needs to be done properly to allow for growth in the social market.
JennyK	Date: January 18, 2012 @ 6:55 AM Sounds good so far. Can't really think of anything above what's mentioned. Everything I keep thinking of would be part of something new, not a cleanup so... I'm glad things seem to be moving. Just wondering, is it just me or are the posts here double?, I mean the text repeats.. Or maybe it was that smoke... Naahh.
Distilled1	Date: February 2, 2012 @ 6:04 PM well any news....
TameasDust	Date: February 5, 2012 @ 8:38 AM Maybe we all should atart a new DM .. Or all get together and buy it back .. Make it a Co-Op .. Make LeFlaw KING and put Chillin in a locked room and not let him out till he has fixed the code. we will feed him one a week if he is a good boy.
