[yes, I know it's minidisc.org but it still counts :rasp:]

"Minidisc forum" and "Minidisc forums" was a very hard obstacle to tackle, as the search listing was plagued with errors related to the sessions file - hence listing the forum description as this:

... VALUES ('494a2df12b48a1e8fdca8ae0e7bfb752', -1, 1099079088, 1099079088, '42f94023',

34, 0) Line : 233 File : /usr/home/forums/public_html/includes/sessions.php[/code]

I finally corrected the error the other day and we should be #1 for as long as this forum exists.

I just wanted to thank the moderators, dedicated users and other semi-regulars for their constant contribution and making this one of the best resources for Minidisc on the internet. I look forward to the future of the Minidisc format and our discussions related to such, and I am proud to administrate a forum with such great minds.

btw, our total page views have completely outdone the opposition by nearly 2:1 at this point, so I wonder if this image honestly holds validity any more.

/end jackass.

Thanks, Tiesto.

The opposition?

You make this sound like a war!

Just friendly political terminology. :wink: The T-Board is a mess anyways; the faq's are severely outdated and actually give people an experience with MD that is not considered optimal. The majority of the faq's don't even reflect the presence of Sonicstage 2! Pathetic, and I know it's harsh for me to say so, but for this community to prosper there must be consistant and up-to-date information. I still have alot of work to do here, but we're on the right path.

Well, why don't you make a thread in the site feedback about it? Or would that be considered treason? :laugh:

I'm sad to say that neither forum is as great as they once were. (Save for this forum, which was a mess a few years ago as I remember it. Great job on making it 100x better.) It just seems like MD has lost steam with the enthusiasts.

... It just seems like MD has lost steam with the enthusiasts.

i think this is best demonstrated by the

mods:mods who use md regularly ratio. not a dig at anyone, more at the limitations & disapointments of supporting a format in the sunset of it's technology.

You're welcome. I'm glad I found this place and you people - it directly affected my purchasing a HiMD, for one thing.

RE: T-Board, I go by there every now and then, it really appears that it's flooded with a constant barrage of newbies who make one post and never return. The few repeat-posters I have noted are also on this board.

I keep thinking of collecting all the simple but -distinct- questions people have been asking re HiMD / SonicStage and assembling them into something. But then.. I'm lazy and I procrastinate.

Of the mods, the only ones who actively don't use MD is myself and Skyther, and myself only recently. Everyone else, I believe, does.

And yes I lost my short-lived enthusiasm for the format. Now I want my iPod Mini. :laugh:

People would much rather postwhore and tell RayzRayl how cool he is rather than do anything useful.

must have been skyther's partisanship that threw me.

anyhow congratulations to the team here. you guys are more informed - the tboard's main attraction to most is the o/t, i think i only post there out of habit.

I don't forcefully influence anyone's decisions, thank you. User experiences speak for themselves, and I'm just glad this place isn't filled with 'know-it-alls' who just repeat the experiences of others while they actually know zilch.

If Cori decides to go the iPod way, it's her own decision and not mine. I just provided her with the advice she asked for. Everyone here has got a brain of their own to decide for themselves.

Of all the forums I frequent (which is a few), this one has the most number of intelligent posters and the least number of arguments and childish disputes. While I somewhat ignore t-board, I tend to frequent head-fi and I find arguments over there all the time. :laugh:

Yes, Ray has made me a remix or two. I do like them. I agree that his posting style is off the charts, but he's done his fair share of cooling me off before I rip into someone or another at the other forum.

Sadly, there are a few people who love to argue, threadcrap, and generally annoy you. Other than the lack of updates to the site and it's content, that's the main issue with that site.

BTW, where are all the mods at that site? I only see a few of them regularly posting anything.

Ziggy lurks, Sefu posts from time to time, Okinawa Joe is travelling Europe and posts once in awhile and recently ditched all of his equipment. SBG, and Rob post and enforce the most. Mystyler has gone almost completely AWOL and I think only Skyther knows where he is. Takman posts a lot too.

Mike Rofone has popped by, Pug is also AWOL, nuWorld posts a lot although is almost devoted to iPod AFAIK, Wrongrobot steps in everyone once in awhile but I rarely see him.

It was when you actually cared about the format, remember? :rasp: I think your time here was before mine, actually. You're the 22nd user to register with the forums! Definitely an old timer.

I'm locking this thread btw, as much as I like talking about the T-Board I rather not waste any more database space.

Summation: Some ok members, mostly annoying members, HUGE need for updates and losing hits/pageviews steadfast.

btw, Google listings is fixed forever and we now are going to get much more activity here. Yay.
