anosou Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh please; they can hate on you procrastinating so long when you know you're just gonna 'NO' it anyways. True, from now on all submitted remixes are automatically NO'd. Thank DragonAvengar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 If I submitted something today and it was eventually passed by the panel, it still wouldn't be posted until 2010, judging from the submission dates of some of the non-resubs in the tbp queue. I'd put more or equal blame for that on djp though. I wonder if he'll ever step down from doing a writeup for every posted mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 True, from now on all submitted remixes are automatically NO'd. Thank DragonAvengar! I thought that had been the policy since at least sometime in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You try managing the biggest video game arrangement site on the internet in your free-time without getting paid with a selected few maintaining quality control without getting paid in THEIR free-time. Not the easiest thing, I'm sure. I thought that had been the policy since at least sometime in 2005. We took that policy out of effect when we decided to not vote at all but this seems like a good time to bring it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I didn't say it was easy. I was just wondering whether he'll ever have enough of it. If I had something that demanded this much of my time and that this many people depended on me doing well I'd probably crumble completely under the pressure on myself I'd build up. And it's not like his workload is going to decrease anytime soon either. At some point, he decided he wasn't going to be able to evaulate all of the songs on his own, and so he created the judges panel and he saw that it was good. Delegating the writeups as well would probably feel like a huge failure for him, as would letting someone else do most of the coding of the website. I'm just wondering how long he'll be able to do it on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in fact, OCR will close down June 2009. It's been a good run. I don't think anyone realizes how much Dave is working on OCR in the background. That he still wants to write a write-up is obvious, it's basically his only communication with the site members and privelege as the creator. So, my point being: he can't post new mixes every day (even though he'd want to) to keep OCR alive and progressing because he's busy keeping OCR alive and progressing.

Dafydd Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You're right, it's difficult for someone on the outside to see how much work djp puts into this place, other than the writeups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FR Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 it's basically his only communication with the site membersMaybe he should post in the forums more??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abadoss Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Maybe he should post in the forums more??? Then he would be using the time he could do write-ups with for posting in the forums... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 also i didn't realize hoboka still posted here What gave you that impression? I post in the wip forums quite a bit Well at least on and off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering how long he'll be able to do it on his own. I think that if (hopefully when) he delegates the write-ups to other people, he could still maintain a connection to the community by having a site/development blog that he can just update at his leisure. It'd let him keep everyone apprised of any progress (in as much detail as he wants) without the additional pressure of meeting a weekly posting quota.

Tensei Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yeah, I'm kind of against that, seeing as getting a write-up from DJP himself is supposed to be one of the perks of getting posted. I really don't care anymore how much longer it'll take to get my songs posted, I just don't want an out-sourced write-up for it Also holy shit, how whiny are you, hoboka? How you can interpret DSes response as a 'punch in the throat' is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Also holy shit, how whiny are you, hoboka? How you can interpret DSes response as a 'punch in the throat' is beyond me. Just being melodramatic as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
