  1. I have no idea how you IDd all these, but amazing... Thanks!
  2. no new releases since 2014? Has RDB hit the end of the road?
  3. Yo people, I'm making a new page on Wikipedia for the Drum & Bass Awards. If anyone has any comments or can be fucked to contribute, please do. Don't worry about filling in the results, I've collected them all together, I just haven't had time to fill them in yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Drum_and_Bass_Awards
  4. heheh. well, im sure by the time it happens, they will have absolutely no interest in d&b or house anyways... well, keep up the good work. maybe if releases are semi-automatically loaded from the juno chart, and search results are prioritised based on how well connected they in the db to other artists, labels, releases... starts to sound a bit like google.... who knows, maybe it will scale perfectly after all. time to go and watch John B play another typically weird set, maybe I'll submit the "Electro & Bass" genre for you in the morning...
  5. aye, you must've been doing this for 10 years. Maybe you can get your kids obsessed with dance music and have them take over?
  6. after some thought i think i agree that it shouldn't matter too much what is in the database (it is going to keep groing regardless) providing the user can find what they are looking for..... how are search results ranked/ordered?
  7. Big decisions eh? rdb collected info on vinyl releases. on the one hand, vinyl sales are ending, but music releases are tending to infinity. Historically every single release has probably been handpicked, by adding the contents of many, many people's vinyl collections and requests, every single tune in the db had been bought or heard by at least one site user. Do you want lots of releases coming in automatically from juno? If it were possible to see how many views a particular release or artist has had, you've probably got hordes of dead flotsam growing in your db... If you want to expand into other genres, I would probably say that you need more moderators. Especially if there's currently a lot of releases going in that no-one on the site knows anything about. Of course, I'm sure it's not that straightforward to find another enthusiastic, trustworthy mod, but I can't imagine you are very excited by the prospect of spending an ever increasing amount of time pondering over tunes that you care less and less about...... perhaps in the absence of a mod, you need to use someother reference as a guide to the significance of a tune, perhaps only add tunes which appear in the top half of the juno weekly chart? You really don't need to be that thorough, the user community should pick up any obscure outliers that have got missed off??
  8. release date: 2012-04-02 label: Smokin Riddims catalog: SMOKEDIG003 1) Dynamics - disconnected 2) Hoogs - ice block this track was huge last year in the clubs
  9. this is a difficult question. I love RDB, and I want it to be comprehensive, but I don't want it full of crap so that my search results explode. If I search for "the nine", I want one hit, not 50 pages of amateur tunes with the same name. I don't believe there is any clear criteria that can be used in a one-size-fits-all way... One artist might be an unheardof bedroom dj making his first couple of tunes and putting them on the web. Another artist might only release tunes for free on the web, but he could be huge... e.g. playing out, on the radio, etc. I have no problem with a handful of moderators making an arbitrary decision on what constitutes an "established artist". Its your site, and I think we should trust your judgement. Fuck it, no-one knows more about d&b than you lot.
  10. I am quite upset about this. Fortunately, I can remember this artist for this one, *phew*.
  11. Anyway, the original post was suppose to look as follows: first visit in a while, I like the new look, but there seems to be lots of new glitches... http://www.rolldabea...t/moving_fusion shows no results, even tho moving_fusion is linked to lots of tunes in the database http://www.rolldabea...now_is_the_time shows this error: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://www.rolldabea...now_is_the_time Line Number 327, Column 4177 then spouts a load of html
  12. wow, what the hell happened to the formatting of my post! also, I can't edit the previous post, I get this error: "TypeError: ipb.textEditor.getEditor("edit-" + postid) is undefined"
