RE: new mcc> cLowNsiTTers track
the thread was deleted cos it imitated another user, and frankly I'm getting tired of this bullshit. This space was setup as a SECTION of DT. It works, it's free, it's way better facilties than most other sites provide, and that's that... This site does other things, and whereas most music sites the owners spend their time running around promoting the music site we do other syuff like delivering videos etc.
The space is there, if people want to use do so, if they dont, don't. Im fed up with the site being discussed in terms of how busy the forum is, Forum's are not a measure of traffic or rankings.
I mean Jesus man, about 4 or 5 months back I had the editor of Future Music on the phone just to say how good DT was compared to FM's site!... he's since left FM mag as I understand it
- we've had 4 artist signups to the site since this morning, and that's average.... people always signup day in day out. We get decent traffic. example: I saw some link to a free plugin on CM/FM forums and mailed the guy saying we had posted his plugin on our site. He wrote back to say that in the previous month he'd had about 30 downloads and since we posted it he'd had hundreds of downloads within a week or so. The SX video's are well appreciated, i've had several emails from people saying the vid's are better than several SX-Tutorial DVD's they'd bought for a minimum $50 bucks each... we just try and do stuff as we can, and we do more than provide webspace for musicians
I personaly dont have time to worry about wether the forum has a happy gang of campers on it all day long. Sure, it's be nice to have more people chatting, but...i dont have time to worry about it.
Our moves next is to bring online the server-space upgrades... I've been doing some calculations, and actualy i think we can offer a larger space to the first 100 members as a bonus & run it like a co-op 'members club' sharing a server for themselves.
After that we will do more stuff to enhance the music signups which I aint saying what it is here.
again, people are quite free to go and use Myspace or whatever and get only 4 song slots, a page riddled in cheezy adverts for crap, and wait a week just to be able to post a track even...... if they want to do that fine, it's a free world and this is just a site which offers free streaming facilities without the cludge & advertising as part of the site.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
