There are so many billions of blogs posting music for download, and some message boards even openly sharing albums via YSI and zShare, I wonder if we might, y'know, get away with it. I just think it'd be nice. Bye! (public) | | | 08-08-2009, 05:47 PM | #2 | | Callum's gum-chewing animal turd bitch Join Date: Nov 2001 Posts: 19,896 | We can discuss it; I'm not really sure. We sort of...inherited the mp3 policy? It's certainly true you can download things these days without having to look particularly hard, but I'm not sure what the admin stance on that is. Or if we have an admin stance. | | | 08-08-2009, 06:05 PM | #3 | | it's a male duck Join Date: Feb 2000 Posts: 19,130 | I know what he means. A lot of places do blog about music, and have the file up for a limited time only, and have disclaimers etc etc. But I guess it really is an admin/martin decision isn't it? hmmm. __________________ my name is ebby, it's been 42 hours since I last sang a showtune. | | | 08-15-2009, 06:43 PM | #4 | | it's a male duck Join Date: Feb 2000 Posts: 19,130 | Quote: Originally Posted by Churumbela but I'm not sure what the admin stance on that is.

If anyone else wants to weigh in with opinions or suggestions that would be most welcome. __________________ my name is ebby, it's been 42 hours since I last sang a showtune. | | | 09-01-2009, 01:50 PM | #7 | | Waluigi's Plum Factory. Join Date: Nov 2002 Posts: 14,513 | There's feedback? I want to see feedback! I thought this thread had died. Can we post mp3s now? (And also find some kind of video embed widget for vBulletin or something?)

But it helped clarify a few things about how the mp3 rule has been inherited and where it came from originally and all that. And a few suggestions towards workarounds. I'd love a youtube embed feature for the forum, to be honest. Another forum I'm on cleverly has it that you can only post videos in specific forums - which we could adapt for here, and just have them in the music forums / TMP or something so that threads don't get flooded with videos. But honestly, we would need to have access to the server to be able to change any of that, I think. And that's out of the boundaries of what the supermods are able to do with this forum. Which is really frustrating, to be honest. __________________ my name is ebby, it's been 42 hours since I last sang a showtune. | | | 09-01-2009, 03:41 PM | #9 | | You are all cunts.

But then again, Martin would have to upgrade the forum for that. (public) | | | 09-01-2009, 04:39 PM | #10 | | Waluigi's Plum Factory.

If only there was someone willing to grab the controls and bring this baby in to land. IF ONLY.

And so, here we are.  | | | 09-02-2009, 02:47 AM | #12 | | Waluigi's Plum Factory. Join Date: Nov 2002 Posts: 14,513 | I know, that was the joke.

Seems like a win/win to me! [public] | | | 09-03-2009, 07:04 PM | #14 | | Callum's gum-chewing animal turd bitch Join Date: Nov 2001 Posts: 19,896 | Quote: Originally Posted by Pete!
