I’m willing to host a sheet music archive if people can contribute to it. If anyone here has a nicely organized archive with all the good stuff, let me know if you feel like sharing and I’ll host it online for one and all.
I know IMSLP is great and all, but there are so many old printings and duplicates, and now with the ads and download limits, I’d rather just have an Archive here.
Once we have a few responses, I’ll set up a public DIR that we can all dump files into. Once it’s organized we’ll sticky the link.
Turns out there’s a TON of stuff in that archive, so it would take forever to site rip it and post to my server. Maybe we’ll see if knar is cool with opening it up for elite group or 100+ or something.
I’m going to make myself very unpopular here… But if the forum software allows it, wouldn’t it be better to change 100+ to 500+ or maybe even 1000+? Or remove it altogether and stick to the elite group (which I didn’t know existed)? I’d appreciate the ability to post threads not accessible to everyone with an account, but 100 seems to me to encourage spamming behaviour just to reach that number without either participating or contributing (which we’re seeing from two members right now AFAIK), whereas I’d guess most people would see 500 or 1000 as just too far away to spend the energy on unless you’re really interested in taking part. And yes I’m perfectly aware both would certainly leave me out for the foreseeable future, but if it meant I wouldn’t have to plow through thread after thread with 0 value posts each time I sign in… I’d be cool with it.
Great, so I might get access in 2-3 years then.
Seems strange to go on a recruitment campaign only to exclude new users afterwards, but that might just be me.
Edit just to add: I don’t mind these worthless posts you talk about, but, to be frank, I mostly see them from established members.
Personally I am in favour of leaving things unrestricted.
The restrictions were orignally designed to stop people leeching stuff then cross posting to gamingforce.
I doubt that it an issue anymore.
