These kids have a rare blood disease: "Stickittodamanniosis"

[Jom]

I botched the first one, because I forgot to forward the attachments.

They're all fixed now, though.

[Kingofdudes]

I'm gonna set a goal. Im gonna add all the albums I have to Sputnik.

Looks like Chad got a mod account again

[Storm In A Teacup]

Okay, thanks Jom.


I noticed yesterday Mx removed the thing where it shows a users weighted ranking, it's a good move. :thumb:

[Thor]

I've got a question for the sputnik crew:
Is it OK if I post a review for Bleeding Through's new album, The Truth? I know it doesn't come out until Tuesday but I've already got one done for it.

[Shadows]

You can if you want it deleted. I've submitted albums without reviews before the release only to have them deleted, so I doubt mods will make an exception.

Why do we have such rules?

[pulseczar]

Because if you have an album before it's released, it's most likely illegal (leaked onto the internet). I doubt Sputnik would want people asking why their reviewers have albums before they're released, the industry's really bitchy these days.

[Shadows]

Of course it's illegal, but that's not going to stop anyone. People are going to keep downloading and it's stil lgoing to be illegal, whether it's before or after the release date. If downloading albums was a serious issue around here I would never be allowed to come here again.

[Jom]

We can stop people from reviewing leaked albums, though, you see.

[Shadows]

I know that, but I've always wondered why. I've never come across a leaked album that has differed from the official release.

[Jom]

The differences between leaked and official aren't related at all to legality, however.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I think I have my sputnik awards almost done. I might e-mail you my nominations within the next half-hour Jom.


BTW, I finally finished my FOB review, I think it's better than the one I turned in before, I would appreciate some constructive critisizm though.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=4966#comments

[Jom]

Sounds good, Kripes.

[ocelot-05]

I read in Revolver magazine that Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age) would appear on Tool's next album. I bet that will be interesting, especially since Tool has never had a guest before.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I e-mailed the nominations Jom, I won't give any of my nominations away, except that bassically every regular I think has been nominated in some way or another. :)

Oops, forgot Iai. :(

[Storm In A Teacup]

Did Morrisey lose her mod powers?

Also, how do I transfer songs I recieved from e-mail to iTunes?

[pulseczar]

I think Morrissey's account got hijacked, I saw morrissey2 around so I'm guessing that's the case.

[morrissey2]

yeah I was hijacked through some hole in sputnik, I think.

edit: as for Itunes, just go file-add file to library and browse to the folder where you stored the songs. If you don't know where they are stored (if your email program does it automatically they might be tricky to find if they aren't on the desktop, ,in my documents or my music) then just search your computer for the file name and once you know the location add it to itunes (as shown above).

[pulseczar]

yeah I was hijacked through some hole in sputnik, I think.

now you know how it feels :(

[morrissey2]

now you know how it feels :(
So does Jeremy, and a few other mods have gotten hijacked too. :(

I'm with ya.

[Damrod]

Yeah, Chad the fu'cker got me as well in early December :mad:

When I banned a hijacked account he had, I left as reason "Hijacked account. And to Chad: Get a life or something, like fu'ck a stick" He posted an ATTN: Kithkin thread in the Pit asking how to :lol:

This guy is such an attention whore

[DFelon204409]

So does Jeremy, and a few other mods have gotten hijacked too. :(

I'm with ya.

Remember the time I got hijacked morrisey?

[Jom]

Where you bumped the thread you made about Spikey's boobies?

Yeah, you were "testing" something alright. Hahaha.

[Shadows]

I've been hijacked by Chad twice, does that make me a supermod?

[Jom]

(singing)

Judge me now, used to be afraid to let it show
Bow down, a mod in my own mind
Everything's in place, so much brighter from today...

[Storm In A Teacup]

Okay, thanks Moz. I still need to download those songs I recieved from Jom. I'll do that now.


DFelon, I don't have IM so could you just e-mail me a couple Hot Cross songs?

raguse-golf@prodigy.net

Edit: That's weird, I didn't type in the e-mail thing. :confused:

Edit: I can't get rid of it either. :confused:

I am currently introducing my little brother to the wonderful world of Opeth. :)

[Liberi Fatali]

Sucks to be your brother.

Take me back to the place that I know, on the beach. Yeah yeah. Dooown on the beach, yeah doown on the beach.

Does anybody know who sung that 'Sex On the Beach' Pop song from the 90s? For some reason I keep thinking the Venga Boys, but it doesn't appear to be them. >.<

[Shadows]

I don't know, but in the process of looking I came across a handy guide on having sex on the beach. Now I'll be able to get pleasure while avoiding sunburn and not getting caught.

It was indeed Venga Boys.

[Liberi Fatali]

It was indeed Venga Boys. It was? I guess I better download it then.

Does anybody else think this song would have been banned if it had been released around the time of 9/11?

This is my first review in a while, and I must say, I'm quite proud of it. I appreciate input of my fellow peers. :)

http://www.musicianforums.com/sputnik/album.php?reviewid=5011

Anyhoo, it's late and I have yet to play guitar thanks to a long conversation with a female I rather like, so I must bid you all goodnight. :p

[pulseczar]

damn the review I'm writing right now is beginning to be way longer than expected, that usually never happens.

[morrissey2]

Remember the time I got hijacked morrisey?
Hahah I most certainly do.

[Jom]

Hey Moris you're not invisible and not returning my snail mail e-mail confirmation thing. What gives?

[Liberi Fatali]

Jesus, moz get on aim. I need a listener to throw all my problems onto.

Its been a tough night modding. :(

[Kingofdudes]

If a certain mod were still around we could have ended up with a couple new Chads. Luckily you handled the situation though.

You and be both buddy :upset:

EDIT: Heyyyyyyyyy, Moz wrote me an e-mail! Score!

Don't worry about it, man. It was just a long night for everyone, and I'm tired as hell as a result of all that's happened, among other things.

Jommy I'll check my email stat.

Hey, where did we go, days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow, playin' a new game
Laughing and a-runnin' - hey, hey! Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with our hearts a-thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing, hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding, baby, all along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la...

Yes!!! I found a guitar tab of Youth Group's Skeleton Jar, and Shadowland! Life just got that much sweeter! :) :) :) :)

I've been gone for five days. What'd I miss?

Besides Jom's hawt knawkers.

I thought Jom was Brain Toad at first when I saw his avatar.

[DFelon204409]

We all did. I think Jom should stop biting or else he'll get the suplex.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I knew I'd seen that before.

Today is a good day. I listened to Youth Group all day, Prison Break won a peoples choice award (it's the only show I ever watch), and I learned why Scruples is called Mikey The Great. :)

[Jom]

We all did. I think Jom should stop biting or else he'll get the suplex.

Don't make me Google "John Cena avatars" or something, Nick :mad:

Edit:


Well I think Green Day is right to make songs about politics.If you see the world of today you can see that there are many stupid people who act wrong like BUSH!many of us think that he is stupid cuz he was the reason for the war between iraq and america..if you want to support it....you can do it if you want to make suicide and if you are so egoistic!!!!


People like this are why I still don't know if I'm a Democrat or Republican. :-/

[pulseczar]

If there's any comic strip in the world that never ceases to amaze me, it's PBF :lol:

[Jom]

People like this are why I still don't know if I'm a Democrat or Republican. :-/

Yeah, he tried to submit an album review which was more along the lines of bitching about Bush and pop music in general, but with a ton of spelling and grammar mistakes, with absolutely no line breaks.

It was humorous for about... zero seconds.

[pulseczar]

People like this are why I still don't know if I'm a Democrat or Republican. :-/

well there are stupid Bush-lovers too, you know (isn't that redundant?)

Why? How much gigs do you have on your hard-drive? I have 19 gigs of music and my computer still runs super smooth.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Less than 200 songs. :(

I ask for an increase on latest comments, and what happens, it gets reduced. :angry:

[DFelon204409]

I decided to average my scores for my reviews and I got 82.9%. That's pretty nice but then again I don't review **** like Silverstein because I can't even stomach more than 3 consecutive songs.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Erm, next to some bands it says that there isn't a description yet, so would it be ok if i add some ?

[Damrod]

Sure

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Ok, cheers, i'll do one for Rancid which i've noticed hasn't been done yet :)

EDIT - Woah, someone just made one like a second ago i'm sure :(

[Storm In A Teacup]

how is 200 songs slowing your computer down?

[Jom]

He could have a computer as crappy as my old one was.

300mHz processor, 56MB RAM. Not a nice number like 64, but 56.

Needless to say, it was garbage.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I don't know any of that stuff, but after 197 it actually stopped me from transfering any songs to iTunes.

Ninja Edit: This is why I don't have Aim or Msn. :(

[masada]

Sputnik has been on a sucking binge for awhile.

[mx]

What do you mean?

[Jom]

He probably means the quality of reviews that have been coming in, not the changes.

[masada]

Yeah.

That was kind of vague on my part.

NP: Sonic Youth - "The Dripping Dream"

[pulseczar]

I agree with Jr., I think you guys should be less lenient. But I doubt that'll happen, judging by the enormous amounts of meh reviews.

[masada]

Honestly, I think people need to put a lot more thought and study into a review than just crapping out a track by track. It's not much of an effort to read some real reviews from Rolling Stone or All Music Guide, so I don't see why people don't do so. You can learn a lot through reading enough reviews; grammar, paragraph structure, vocabulary, etc.

I'm also tired of going back and editing all of my posts, because for some reason, it lumps all of my paragraphs together when I space them out.

Annoying.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The quality of reviews is bound to be low given the numbers of new reviewers coming on to the site. We all started with crappy track by tracks or similar.

[Kingofdudes]

even I did >_> <_<

[Jom]

I agree with Jr., I think you guys should be less lenient. But I doubt that'll happen, judging by the enormous amounts of meh reviews.

You want to see one of the reviews I axed a couple days ago?

Okay, here:

Well I think Green Day is right to make songs about politics.If you see the world of today you can see that there are many stupid people who act wrong like BUSH!many of us think that he is stupid cuz he was the reason for the war between iraq and america..if you want to support it....you can do it if you want to make suicide and if you are so egoistic!!!!well green day made these songs to open their fans eyes...to explain them what the ***ing politics are doing with our world..and this is punkrock...they say what they believe and billie said on many concerts that they have to vote if they want another peaceful world!!this is absolutely right cuz many fans have green day as an idol.so shut up with your:`green day became famous and stupid and blabla!!!!` its betterif there are bands which are against poverty,war atc..like U2 par example.do you that they make stupid songs about their hair which get white or about the clothes they saw in gucci?well if you want stupid songs you`d better chamge from punk to Britney Spears!!!!American Idios is a ***ing good album,ok?so if you don`t agree.....you should better shut up and hide cuz youre inhuman!!!

Don't tell me we need to be more lenient here, heh. We're allowing tbt's through, so long as they're descriptive to a degree.

[Dave de Sylvia]

That review rocks Jom; I didn't know you wrote so well.

[pulseczar]

Don't tell me we need to be more lenient here, heh. We're allowing tbt's through, so long as they're descriptive to a degree.

uh... I said less lenient.

[Jom]

Whatever. The point is you guys have no idea how many reviews we've (between just mx, Damrod, and especially myself) been rejecting lately. Letting some reviewers that have promise through shouldn't mean that we have to get criticized for it. Otherwise, the community won't be able to grow. Conversely, if we let reviews like the above one through, that lowers the quality of the site.

Believe me, I understand your complaints, but we're working on doing what's best for the site, not to appease the "veterans."

[Dave de Sylvia]

If the reviews are so bad and the user never improves, then there's always the opportunity to delete the review and no harm is done. A lot of the regulars here started from pretty bad places.

[masada]

I'm down with that.

/agreeing with Jom (SOP if you want, also)

[Shadows]

Don't tell me we need to be more lenient here, heh. We're allowing tbt's through, so long as they're descriptive to a degree.
That was actually submitted as a review?

[masada]

The person who wrote that should really consider writing for NME or something of the like.

It would open doors for millions of cretins, worldwide.

[pulseczar]

Yeah that guy's ready for the 1337 music magazines, NME, Blender...

I agree with you Jom, though it's not happening a lot, I've seen people starting with t by t's and moving on to overall's. I'm not sure if it was by their own will, but everyone in the top 30 writes overall's, I think.

I just think there are some reviews (I won't mention names) that probably shouldn't have been accepted. Judging by the proceeding reviews by that user, I was probably right. No offense to you guys, accept what you guys think is right, I'm just saying what I'm saying.

[Jom]

That was actually submitted as a review?

Yes.

If the reviews are so bad and the user never improves, then there's always the opportunity to delete the review and no harm is done. A lot of the regulars here started from pretty bad places.

Unless I misunderstood what you wrote, this could lead to a number of problems.

First, as soon as we accept one review, that user no longer has to go through the mod queue. If this hypothetical reviewer continually churns out awful reviews, there's nothing we can do but try to keep deleting them. We're able to curb users like this.

Second, this eliminates people who jump the gun and try to flame the poor soul. Before it goes through the queue, we're able to let the reviewer see our feedback before we put it onto the Sputnikmusic site. Believe me, some users can't wait to flame new users, so we want to curb that as well.

Forgive me if I misunderstood your post.

I just think there are some reviews (I won't mention names) that probably shouldn't have been accepted. Judging by the proceeding reviews by that user, I was probably right. No offense to you guys, accept what you guys think is right, I'm just saying what I'm saying.

I don't keep track of how many reviews I accept and reject, I just know that I was possibly too strict. I'm pretty sure I've rejected at least thirty reviews and accepted no more than ten. It's not like we have a thread anywhere where we talk about the reviews we put through and rejected; instead, we trust each others' judgments. As staff, we work as a team, and we prepare for whatever comes next.

One way I help new reviewers is that I edit their reviews for spelling and grammar; also, I fix coding and spacing issues for them, along with adding album art, tracklists, and release dates. I do the little things, and usually let the others accept or reject the reviews, because again, i thought I was too strict.

And again, as someone alluded to earlier, everyone started from very modest beginnings. It's easy for you to look down upon these new users, but you were that person at a time.

While that would be problem, there's no problem in deleting old bad reviews of inactive reviewers, is there? I think that could improve the site a bit. Specifically looking at pretty much every review in the Doors section.

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, I mean if someone reviews a bad review but shows potential and you accept them, but then they leave the site or stop writing or whatever, you can always delete the review later on. E.g. bad reviews don't have to stay on the site.

[Jom]

While that would be problem, there's no problem in deleting old bad reviews of inactive reviewers, is there? I think that could improve the site a bit. Specifically looking at pretty much every review in the Doors section.

Unless Med and Damrod were granted telepathy powers by mx and I was left out of the loop, there's no telling which users will come back and which ones won't.

No, [this is what I meant].

Oh, I gotcha. Well, same thing applies to what I said to Galapagos: there's no telling when someone will leave/return/etc.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Who cares if they come back? If their reviews aren't good enough they should, after a grace period, be deleted.

[Jom]

I don't think it's justified to remove reviews from the old CD Archives forum, which is what I thought you guys were talking about.

Med comes back tomorrow, so I'll see what he has to say, and I'm sure Damrod will answer sometime when he wakes up. If mx sees this, he can answer as well. It's his site, after all.

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, I mean like the people who are joining now. The CD Reviews forum should be preserved for its own sake.

Edit: Where did Med go?

Editer: Do we have too many stickies?

[pulseczar]

Maybe bad reviews from users who haven't been active over a year? Anyway, I think I've said enough on that.

Hey Vague, expect a review on an American Shoegaze band and a review of a MBV EP or two.

[Jom]

No, I mean like the people who are joining now. The CD Reviews forum should be preserved for its own sake.

Edit: Where did Med go?

Editer: Do we have too many stickies?

Med went to Antarctica to go play with the penguins (and possibly get a free tuxedo, ho, ho!).

I don't really notice the stickies, because it's not like we have very many threads here to begin with.

Maybe bad reviews from users who haven't been active over a year? Anyway, I think I've said enough on that.

I'd rather wait for official word before anything is done, but thanks for the suggestion.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Oh Med and his sex parties. Crazy guy, 10/10.

[masada]

Hey Vague, expect a review on an American Shoegaze band and a review of a MBV EP or two. :)

I'm going to attempt to get around to that review on Nowhere this weekend. Possibly a week or so after, I want to get in EVOL later.

[Liberi Fatali]

Ooh-ooh. I'm uploading some Tangerine Dream for a mate, so I figure if any of you want some then post your email addy.

These aren't the best ever songs by Tangerine Dream, but I was just trying to cover a wide range of their career, in terms of time and sound.

List of stuff in the email:
Tangerine Dream - Two Bunch Palms
Tangerine Dream - Snow on Dragon's Peak
Tangerine Dream - Sequent C'
Tangerine Dream - 21st Century Common Man (Part I)
An abstract picture of me
A wise chinese proverb
A copy of my half-finished half-arse Final Fantasy IX OST review (maybe)
The Chills - Pink Frost
AND MORE!

Call within the next 10 minutes and you'll get all this for only two small payments of $21.95!

But seriously, I'm in a weird giving mood, so post your email address and I'll send you all that stuff plus a bit more.

Editer: Do we have too many stickies?

I wondered too a while back, but I don't know what threads could be dropped. The only one I could think of would be the "Rolling Stones 500 Albums of all time"-thingy, but not a lot beyond that IMO

Threads that have to stay on top:

Report Thread
Changes
Security fixes
Banned Users
Suggestions thread

[Jawaharal]

I'm seeing Bela Fleck and The Fleckstones tonight with the symphony :cool:

[Storm In A Teacup]

Are these kinds of comments allowed? I don't think so.

If the album is so dissapointing how come i love it

bad news for you buddy - it's probably because you're retarded.

What a douchette not allowing others to have their own opinions without being critisized.

Vheissu is a bit of a prick so don't worry Kripes.

[Jom]

Kripes, you need to chill the heck out, man.

[Jawaharal]

Anybody whose name is a thrice album is prone to suck anyways. Even though that comment was perfectly fine.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Kripes, you need to chill the heck out, man.

I'm chill, I just don't like the guy, if I wanted something to be done about it then I would have posted this in the bad users report thread. :)


I just hit myself in the mouth putting my guitar on. :-/

To all those other fobs that haven't signed up for free music, pity on you.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I would sign up for that but I have absolutely no room on my laptop right now. If you, or someone else, was able to hook me up with a Final Fantasy Soundtrack (preferrably VII, or VIII) in the future, I'd probably plotz.

You're missing the point. Every time you disagree with something you see on Sputnikmusic, you bitch about it here. My personal favorites are when people leave you any anti-Kripes comments and you bother to quote all of them, post them IN THIS THREAD, and then say, "Must. Keep. Cool. Must. Not. Hyperventilate. Must. BAHHHHH LIFE'S NOT FAIR WAHHHHHHH."

Some sites have the whole soundtrack to download. But you don't just download the Soundtrack, you have to decide whether to get the full original soundtrack, the piano collection or the orchestrated collection. Decisions decisions.

Mmmm, its a nice day today. I think I'm going to go lie in the sun, listen to some ambient music and read 1421: The Year China Discovered the World.

Im working my way down. So far I really like "Snow on Dragon's Peak".

[Storm In A Teacup]

Chevelle aren't a Tool ripoff are they? I've only heard the singles from Tool, and they don't sound anything like Chevelle.

[Kingofdudes]

Chevelle aren't a Tool ripoff are they? I've only heard the singles from Tool, and they don't sound anything like Chevelle.
I agree. I dont know why people are always saying that they are. I remember a lot of people saying that last year when the new Chevelle CD was released.

[morrissey]

I've been listening to Amit's song for the past couple hours on repeat.

I wish I was as good at piano as he is :upset:
Wait that isn't actually him playing, is it? I thought the song was composed entirely from samples, DJ Shadow-style. Unless we've been listening to two different songs.

edit: and thanks Lib.

Yeah, it's all samples, but if I ever saw him play it live, I'd probably kill myself because he's soooooooo much better at me at everything in life.

[Liberi Fatali]

Hey Jommy, I'm surprised you don't want my free music and Chinese proverb. The proverb in the email has a lot of meaning for us mods as a team.

Today was pretty cool, my Mum brought home two Swan Plants (That Monarch Butterflies love) with 6 Monarch catterpillers on them. One of thems a fat prick that chewed through a whole leaf in about 10-20 minutes. That nig better go into a chrysalis soon or it'll eat the whole plant clean.

For those of you who are thinking what the hell does a monarch butterfly look like?

I plan on killing it. :evil:

[Jawaharal]

That Bela fleck concert was the best thing in music history ever. Every musician there was phenomanal. The first song they played blew me away. Each band memeber had amazing solos. Victor Wooton really had the groove and his bass solos were amazing. I don't think I ever heard someone play a banjo as good or as fast Bela eithier. And The Futurist was pretty damn cool when he did a one handed drum solo. I heart Bela.

[Storm In A Teacup]

My friend thinks Wooten is the best bass player ever, but I still say Jaco is the best.

[Jawaharal]

My friend thinks Wooten is the best bass player ever, but I still say Jaco is the best.
Wooton has to be the best. He was incredible.

Okay, the typing like idiots thing stops here, as does the joking about wonderful bassists. I honestly didn't think it would carry on, but you surprised me.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think is more than a fitting way to end the conversation.

Is that Nikki Six?

[Storm In A Teacup]

That's what I thought at first, but then I realized his face is too fat to be him.

I still don't know who that is though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's Nikki :-\

[Storm In A Teacup]

Oh, huh.

[pulseczar]

I thought he couldn't even play bass. I thought he just played really badly then went off to have coke filled orgies.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Nikki's a decent bass player, especially now. He and Tommy form my favourite rhythm section, just because they sound so awesome together.

[Storm In A Teacup]

He wasn't that great on the Carnival of Sins dvd.

Ugh, I went to vacuum my house, but the vacuum bag needs changing, but I decided to go ahead anyway since I didn't have a new bag, and now the whole house is stinking. I couldn't find any Lysol to make it better. :(

What do you mean by that? It smells really bad throughout my house.

[encmetalhead]

i'm not goign to do an overall reveiw anymore, i dont care if you dont like it, i've tried ti twice and both times was ****ty so i'm doing t-by-t

[Storm In A Teacup]

You've never done an overall review before though. :confused:

[pulseczar]

i'm not goign to do an overall reveiw anymore, i dont care if you dont like it, i've tried ti twice and both times was ****ty so i'm doing t-by-t

well your t by t's aren't too good either, you're not gonna become a good reviewer if you don't take criticism. You could actually improve if you didn't just get all pissy and quit.

oh yeah, that wasn't even a real overall.

[Storm In A Teacup]

oh yeah, that wasn't even a real overall.

That's what I've been trying to tell him for the last 20 posts. :-/

[encmetalhead]

look my 2 attempts

Darkest hour - undoing ruin = sucked
and my new one = i thought i had dont a good job and acutally made a decent review but no i didnt do it right or it wasnt real. how bout if ya'll would tell me how it aint real and not just say "tell more about the feeling of the cd" or "this is not an overall review"

well if you wanna know you should've just said so instead of getting all defensive and immature.

look i might have blown up but i'm on short temper right now and i'm really stressed out and if the internet cant help me get unstressed there si something wrong and u making it sometihng wrong right now i'm getting off when i get on i hope to see a post with the pros on this review and the cons of this review.
if i write another review for this site its not goign to be soon so u better hope someone esle has the urge to review the Bobaflex cd

:lol: Oh my, that's one of the better lawls I've had in a while.

Laughing at him/her won't do any good.

Am I able to make a second account using the same e-mail? My brother wants to join, and has almost finished a review. I'm making sure in case it does something weird like keep me off of my account if I use the same e-mail.

[Kingofdudes]

It wont let you register with the same one. Just make a new hotmail account for him to use.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I might sound like an idiot, but whatever.

What's a hotmail account, the same as an e-mail? How do I make one? I hope it doesn't have anything to do with msn or aim as I don't have that.

[Kingofdudes]

Hotmail is free MSN based email, you dont need MSN to use it.

Just go to hotmail.com and sign up for it.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Urgh, 250 mb, I'll have to wait for my dad to come home from his trip today to see if it's possible to do it.


Is there any other way to get a new e-mail without taking so much space up?

[Kingofdudes]

hotmail doesnt take any space up on your computer :confused: Its all web based

[Storm In A Teacup]

It says 250mb storage space.

[Kingofdudes]

thats how many emails your account will be able to hold

[Storm In A Teacup]

I tried to fill out the info, but the text is too small for me to read.



It's about three times small as this.

[Jom]

View -> Text size -> Large/Largest

[Storm In A Teacup]

Awesome, I got it. Does this mean I can instant message as well?

[Kingofdudes]

If you download msn messenger, yes you can.

[Shaun of the Dead]

Well, now I'm Shaun of the Dead here, but over on Sputnik I'm Kripes, and I can't make it go just one way. :-/

[Jom]

Uh, that's because you signed up for two accounts, dude.

[Shaun of the Dead]

Will duh, but I can only post as Shaun of the Dead on these forums, and I can only post as Kripes on Sputnik.

[Kingofdudes]

Logout of sputnik, then you have to log onto sputnik as shaun of the dead

Thank you Cathedral, it worked. I was meaning that it would let me be Shaun of the Dead on the forums, but when I logged out of Sputnik, and logged in it still had it as Kripes' account.


Time for my brother to go post, and finish his review.

[masada]

Oh yeah, a miniature Kripes parading around.

NP: Fall Out Boy - "Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends".

anyone seen Buffalo 66? Such a great movie, listening to the OST right now.

[Shaun of the Dead]

When my brother tries to post a comment on sputnik he'll click the post butten, but it never leaves a comment. He is definitely signed in though.


Huh, I was using a different window. I should still be Kripes. :confused:

[morrissey]

Hey Kripes if you want to make this easier, each use a different browser for your mx/sputnik posting. Say he uses IE, and you use Firefox. That way you don't have to worry about logging in and out and submitting reviews on the wrong account by accident etc.

[Shaun of the Dead]

This is Kripes (lost ability to post here :-/ )

Okay, what is IE, and Firefox?

[morrissey]

IE= Internet Explorer
Firefox = http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Opera = http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/?platform=windows

If you already have Netscape (or some other browser) use that instead. If you have a small amount of disk space and memory, I'd recommend Opera instead of FF.

[Jom]

Firefox is a browser, just like IE.

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/upgrade-2.html

To get back to Kripes, just clear your cookies and log-in.

[pulseczar]

Good thing I have every review since my 8th saved, but this really sucks, I have to submit 4 reviews again, and it'll really suck if no one comments on them because they did before. I feel bad for anyone who doesn't save their reviews.

[encmetalhead]

this is sad for everyone...atleast we didnt lose everything but i got a backup....most of my reviews are on a forum aswell so i can just go tot he forum and get them yay lol

[Shaun of the Dead]

Damnit, I lost my Disturbed, and Motely Crue reviews, and I can't get them back. I still have my FoB, CKY, and GZR reviews. I have one other review missing, but I can't remember what it was.

[encmetalhead]

i like my comment in my TAO review the first comment got deleted somehow...lol

[Jom]

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

And so on and so forth.

Come on, guys, this isn't the end of the world. If you didn't have back-ups of your reviews, that's your fault.

[encmetalhead]

do they not allow you to post the first comment in your reviews anymore?

[Jom]

I don't like it, especially when it has something to do with the crash.

[Kingofdudes]

:-/ I have rated/added to my play list over 100 albums since the last back up of the site was done.

[encmetalhead]

Kingfodudes, I think it was you who neg voted my Floyd review (if not ignore this :p), could you change your vote again like you did? I know it seems kind of stupid to ask you, but could you?

[Kingofdudes]

I still think you are way to hard on it, but I changed it again

[Shaun of the Dead]

I figured out that my System of a Down-Hypnotize review is the third review I don't have a backup of. :(

Spat Out Plath, do you still have the e-mail of when I sent the beggining of it to you? I don't, my dad gets rid of all e-mails after a while. :(

[morrissey]

:-/ I have rated/added to my play list over 100 albums since the last back up of the site was done.
Heh I've lost over 200 ratings, and the entire discographies of several bands I've added (including some biographies) and one news item, but it's all small peanuts and I'm glad I didn't lose a review without a backup or anything. It'll take time to do again, but fortunately none of it requires any creativity (well, bios do but it's all manageable). I'll just cut my losses, like I said it's small peanuts.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah, I still have the email; I'll send it back to you. What I'd advise you to do first is to disconnect from the internet, go to file in the internet window and hit 'work offline' then search through your history for the lost reviews. If your temporary internet files are still there, you should be able to access the reviews that are on your computer. I have to stress the importance of being offline, though. Get back to me if you can't.

KOD & Steve: Yeah, me too :upset:

I know. This is nuckin' futs! I wonder who the "they" people really are. Not the bloody Russians!

[pulseczar]

I stopped watching the show after Sutherland came back to life, or wasn't really dead. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD AND THAT'S HOW I WANT IT. Of course I never really liked the show in the first place.
