Asdfp277 03.17.18	we're not rym quite yet (lol) but we're making progress! >:]
JustJoe. 03.17.18	That's impressive. Great work, sputnik-users.
brainmelter 03.17.18	woooo Sputnik cool list
Asdfp277 03.17.18	it's all thanks to y'all >:]
Asdfp277 03.17.18	somebody bring macman to do something cool about this
JustJoe. 03.17.18	summons macman I don't think I have that kind of power, so we'll see what happens.
bgillesp 03.17.18	Awesome! Gonna add a band to the DB as soon as I get back on wifi with my computer. On mobile now.
TheSpaceMan 03.17.18	Fuck yea, we the big leagues now. thanks for the effort you've put into the database man. And the mods too
bgillesp 03.17.18	Yeah, big thanks to y'all people putting in most of this work! I've only added like 3 bands to the DB
SandwichBubble 03.17.18	We can't just summon a statman, we need to trap it https://i.imgur.com/SY4XOGv.jpg
RippingCorpse1986 03.17.18	Cool stuff That title made me think this was a Darius list commemorating his 100,000 comments. That guy really shitposts a lot. Come on birb, get those 100,000 comments before the end of the year >:]
Asdfp277 03.17.18	lol @ sandwich y'all: feel free to add any artists the db might be missing, it's of great help! >:]
Asdfp277 03.18.18	adding digs
bgillesp 03.18.18	Gonna add some Spanish Blues to the DB. We're good on Bandcamp artists getting in but foreign artists (mainly non-English speaking) are where we need the most work
Asdfp277 03.18.18	most of the artists i've added are non-english speakers too lol, we're definitely lacking in that regard
bgillesp 03.18.18	Well thanks for that then! I love finding Spanish speaking artists but they're only in the DB half the time. I've added a bunch of albums to those too
Frippertronics 03.18.18	hot damn
Asdfp277 03.18.18	heck darn thrust!: i googled nola and only found a spanish brass band, want me to add them or is it another artist?
Asdfp277 03.18.18	ahh lol i figured
Asdfp277 03.18.18	thanks for the feature fripp!! >:]
Relinquished 03.18.18	I’ve been adding hella electronic records so I helped too, just not for this occasion lol
Asdfp277 03.18.18	added you to the entry, you've helped a lot when it comes to electronic albums after the gap that deviant left!
Relinquished 03.18.18	thnx asdfp that’s exactly why I started the effort tbh
macman76 03.18.18	I can do the actual artist count based on the alphabetic sorted band index pages... later lol @sandwich
JustJoe. 03.18.18	It worked. He is summoned.
RippingCorpse1986 03.18.18	Just noticed this on the main page ''Happy 100,000!! by Darius'' Hahaha
Asdfp277 03.18.18	s m g d h
RippingCorpse1986 03.18.18	Just added Nemecic to the database. They're the band N°100061 right now.
someguest 03.18.18	the real trick is keeping the server up
someguest 03.18.18	hopefully the database isn't built on a thread something tells me it probably is though
Asdfp277 03.18.18	we're also close to 280,000 albums !
macman76 03.18.18	alrighty, here is code to get the count of active band pages in the database https://gist.github.com/mac7678/7f5aba30b5fb5cca4427a8440aa81905 and here is a plot of the success rate of our database entries: https://imgur.com/gallery/PqBD9 So the count of band pages is 94,137 band pages, but that might be less than there actually are. The bandpage indexes are limited to bands that start with a to z alphabetic characters and 0 to 9 numbers (as far as i know). It's possible that bands with mandarin or japanese characters are not stored on these pages which would explain why there appear to be a lot less successes in the most recent database entries.
Asdfp277 03.19.18	someguest you jinked it >:[
Asdfp277 03.19.18	fun fact: the huge drop @ ~37500 is because of a spam attack that added entries to an online store as bands, and were promptly deleted :0
macman76 03.19.18	Any guesses as to why there’s a weird success rate after 75000?
DoofusWainwright 03.19.18	Just checked and I’ve added about two hundred albums here, bit surprised, they all add up
Asdfp277 03.19.18	macman: no idea, can't even access the imgur gallery anymore lmao
TheSonomaDude 03.19.18	damn, 37500 spam pages? how the fuck does someone have the time to make that
Artuma 03.19.18	most of them are yak's bedroom emo bands, wouldn't really brag about it
Asdfp277 03.19.18	@sonoma: no dude, there's a drop in actual bands around band-id=~37500, not 37500 spam pages they were made using a computer program too, i'd bet
macman76 03.19.18	Oh sorry, the image is public again, I thought having the link let you see it in private mode
Asdfp277 03.19.18	maybe @ ~75000 the ampersand glitch started taking place, it's been a huge cause for deleted artist pages
macman76 03.19.18	Musicians need to stop collaborating if you ask me lol
Asdfp277 03.19.18	splits are on fucking thin ice
Divaman 03.20.18	Nice to see. Thanks for pointing it out, Asdfp.
Sowing 03.20.18	I'm sure this has nothing to do with the server overload issues.
macman76 03.20.18	Ah yes, the double/triple/etc. posting Also explains why it has mellowed down recently
Asdfp277 04.13.18	update: just reached 95000 actual bands, approx.
Asdfp277 04.13.18	if only i could get a hold of the full rym artists list, this number would exponentially grow lmao too lazy to code it tho
macman76 04.13.18	They ban you if you try, those bastards
Asdfp277 04.13.18	lol :[
