May 20, 20187 yr Indeed! Probably because there's no way for the automated DCMA bots to actually link it to a specific track. I do remember when I first joined that mp3 packs used to not be direct links. I assume that's unnecessary if your theory is correct (indeed, there's no way it could be found by someone searching for a specific track when they're just named 'semi 1' - and I also suspect that less people are doing that these days what with streaming services) but I had been thinking if it's worth being a bit careful about them.
May 20, 20187 yr How did Michael's inbox get filled up again already after everyone's inbox got expanded very recently?! Huh when did this happen?!

I agree that it is probably worth us being a little more discreet about them again. Although I query how much they’re used because I never provided any and there wasn’t a single comment about them (on buzzjack) that month. Over the summer break it is certainly worth considering how we proceed. Although I do think we’re fairly well protected from DCMA notices for the reasons weve both mentioned, it is a good idea for us to pause for thought
May 20, 20187 yr You could just like hyperlink them to a picture that's just like blank and unassuming as I doubt the picture could be picked up? :lol:

Although I do think we’re fairly well protected from DCMA notices for the reasons weve both mentioned, it is a good idea for us to pause for thought We didn't get them in 102 & 104 and I have been thinking about creating ones for those because they really help me with not forgetting past entries. As a contrast, I barely remember any entries from spinoffs, where there are normally none. There's a small number of people who still use them. I had been thinking of maybe just setting it up so that people who want them let me know and I'll PM them for as long as I'm able to make them up.

Plenty of solutions for creativity! Need to think as a community if it’s time for us to move with the times and focus on Spotify & YouTube playlists
May 20, 20187 yr Idk if I just wasnt in the mood to listen or if that semi was just kinda shit but that was tough! I had like 14 songs short listed but literally all of them bar my 12 pointer were just kinda "meh, it's decent enough to throw some points at" :kink:

I had been thinking of maybe just setting it up so that people who want them let me know and I'll PM them for as long as I'm able to make them up. That could work for those who do find it useful! I personally will add the song off Apple Music but I need to get much better at that as I’m so bad for forgetting about great tracks!!! You should have access to the 102 & 104 confirmation sheets with the links in them which should help!
May 20, 20187 yr Ashton has voted! (Pete give me a yell if you didn't get them coz the phone signal on the west coast mainline is patchy AF)

May 20, 20187 yr Thanks for the reminder! I completely forgot I entered this month :blush: . Gonna start listening now, so my votes should be in later tonight ^_^
May 20, 20187 yr Huh when did this happen?! "What one thing would you change about Buzzjack?" thread: This thread has brought a little bit of a change, everyone should now have a bit more space in their PM inbox (up to 200 for members and 1000 for mods). *site crashes* If it doesn't, you'll get to keep that, and hopefully we'll have less people with full inboxes.
May 20, 20187 yr A lot of good stuff in Semi 2, a lot of entries would be sad to see not make the final!
May 20, 20187 yr I agree that it is probably worth us being a little more discreet about them again. Although I query how much they’re used because I never provided any and there wasn’t a single comment about them (on buzzjack) that month.Actually I did comment in the thread and never got an answer :kink: I ended up buying a handful of MP3s of the songs I liked, so Iz if you end up making belated packs hit me up if I can fill in some gaps. Gonna echo the "Republic of Adonia need to vote" sentiments, please just this once :drama:
