Minushuman24: What's up with the artist pictures?

Divaman 10.23.18	Yep. They've been dead for more than a year now. I asked Jom one time if it was still worth adding them when I added a new artist to the database, and were they ever likely to be back. He said no, probably not.
Minushuman24 10.23.18	Huh. That's weird but.... okay
Drifter 10.23.18	They died when the site died last year
JustJoe. 10.23.18	We don't deserve them so they were taken away from us.
TheSpirit 10.23.18	I don't think the mods have much control over that, it's probably something only mx can fix
SandwichBubble 10.23.18	It went the way of the dodo, much like our precious review question marks.
Minushuman24 10.23.18	i miss those question marks sometimes...
CugnoBrasso 10.23.18	I joined this site almost two years ago and it has never occurred to me to see an artist picture. I even forgot it was an issue, I was too focused on the question marks in reviews.
SandwichBubble 10.23.18	Instead of being inquisitive, we all just look like we don't know how to use quotes properly
Nomos2 10.23.18	Site's been broken in easily fixable ways for years so I wouldn't expect them to return any time soon unfortunately. I mean, I'm pretty sure the site has been trying to generate emojis from text (try typing a ":" and then a ")" and watch in amazement as it turns into a broken link thumbnail in your text. I've been noticing that for many years, never fixed. Are there ads here? Maybe I'll turn off my adblocker when they fix the little things LOL
Minushuman24 10.23.18	Yeah, I gotta think this site will get an update at some point? Maybe? Probably not.
CugnoBrasso 10.23.18	I feel like this is a good time to type an emoticon :)
CugnoBrasso 10.23.18	Hey it actually works!
Sinternet 10.23.18	last update was 2012 right, i remember first lurking the site just after that
Nomos2 10.23.18	Wait a second you can type those now?! :) Maybe they're parsed differently in Review comments, I dunno HEY IT WORKS! Maybe something was finally updated haha.
Sinternet 10.23.18	(◕∇◕✿)
Minushuman24 10.23.18	UwU
Cimnele 10.23.18	'L_'
Nomos2 10.23.18	8=>~
Minushuman24 10.23.18	It's a rocket ship
Deathconscious 10.23.18	i dont think its even been a year since they disappeared.
Underflow 10.23.18	I never even noticed tbh
SandwichBubble 10.23.18	@Darius DEVO was right all along
XingKing 10.23.18	I never liked that feature anyway. "Oh, here's a picture of the vocalist screaming during a live show" "Here's a photo of all of the band members except they haven't had that lineup in three albums." "Here's the album cover to their most acclaimed album." Good riddance, I say.
SandwichBubble 10.23.18	You could say the same thing about outdated band descriptions that announce a band's new album (circa 2011).
Minushuman24 10.23.18	I dunno, it made the site a little bit less plain for me
XingKing 10.23.18	@Sandwich: 100%. The best band descriptions for me are "(genre)(band name) from (city)" and a link to their bandcamp or website if they have one.
Pheromone 10.23.18	do you guys remember the lastfm plug in?? I miss that shit
Cimnele 10.23.18	replace all that info with a tag cloud of the words that most frequently appear in their lyrics pronto
Minushuman24 10.23.18	I didn't have a last.fm when that was a thing. I really wish this site kept that, cause I got one back in 2014.
XingKing 10.23.18	Lastfm links and user neighbors were two features that I liked
Pheromone 10.23.18	same bro, I remember being blown away by rows pink floyd numbers
Deathconscious 10.23.18	"I never liked that feature anyway. "Oh, here's a picture of the vocalist screaming during a live show" "Here's a photo of all of the band members except they haven't had that lineup in three albums." "Here's the album cover to their most acclaimed album." Good riddance, I say." some bands had some awesome/hilarious band photos, but yeah, i dont really care that theyre gone.
sixdegrees 10.23.18	first they came for the last fm integration and I didn't speak out- because I dont use last fm....
SandwichBubble 10.23.18	^ Exactly you are all fools.
XingKing 10.23.18	And then they came for the question marks and I did not ask why, because I couldn't.
TheSpaceMan 10.23.18	huh, the artists pictures are there for me
Sinternet 10.23.18	last.fm integration was the shit, i remember it just stopped working when last.fm had their big update
Tyler. 10.23.18	mlp'kjhjhhgfdvasfdgxfcgvhj efdg gdrg dgdsg dgg g g g g g g g ggg g g
Cimnele 10.23.18	right on brother
SandwichBubble 10.23.18	@XingKing that's the deepest thing I've read all day
Frippertronics 10.23.18	Actual answer to this question, iirc someone tried to sue the site because a band's pic infringed on their ~rights~ to their work, so as a safety precaution, the artist pics was taken down completely.
sixdegrees 10.23.18	was it old man fripp
TheSpaceMan 10.23.18	back when you could let your kids run around a grocery store without worry
Rolling Girl 10.23.18	I sometimes wonder what would happen if this site was sold to an actual team or something. That being said I'll probably stick with this site until it dies its slow and graceless death.
XingKing 10.23.18	If I win the lottery, I promise to spend the entirety of my riches making this site marginally better
sixdegrees 10.23.18	sell it to whoever brings back imageposting
Pheromone 10.23.18	I've grown to love the ugliness of this site and I notoriously hate change so watch what you do xing
XingKing 10.24.18	Don’t worry, I would be a kind and loving overlord. One who fixes time out errors when posting lists or reviews and gets rid of blank pages on reviews. I am a man of the people.
Keyblade 10.24.18	"sell it to whoever brings back imageposting" can u imagine that being brought back, would be absolute carnage lol
Deathconscious 10.24.18	Cant be any worse than what we've already seen.
THVRTVVN 10.24.18	wait when the FUCK did that happen and why am i just noticing
sixdegrees 10.24.18	end it with a bang instead of a whimper agreed
J() Alexander 10.24.18	I've grown to love the ugliness of this site [2]
Frippertronics 10.24.18	"was it old man fripp" it was some irrelevant bargain bin pop punk group or something
sixdegrees 10.24.18	lmao way to go Jeremy Fedora
Nomos2 10.24.18	huh Sputnik does kind of have a lame lo-fi charm to it that brings me back, in a good way, to the early 2000's internet. Maybe that's why I've come daily for almost 10 years.
Minushuman24 10.24.18	Regardless of the garbage-ness of the site, I will always call this site home. Unfortunately.
Ryus 10.24.18	"sell it to whoever brings back imageposting" damn im sad i wasnt around in those days sounds like chaos
THVRTVVN 10.24.18	really wish someone that could revitalize the site would buy it :/
TheSpirit 10.24.18	"Actual answer to this question, iirc someone tried to sue the site because a band's pic infringed on their ~rights~ to their work, so as a safety precaution, the artist pics was taken down completely." sounds like something snide would do since it's the only he'd ever make money off of black malachite
SandwichBubble 10.24.18	I just want question marks back, y'all. Priorities.
Minushuman24 10.24.18	Shouldn't the album covers be taken down by that logic??
Frippertronics 10.24.18	Album covers are exempt from this problem
Sinternet 10.24.18	if they weren't it would have a slight chance of sparking mx to do something
Drifter 10.24.18	"And then they came for the question marks and I did not ask why, because I couldn't" hahahaha
Minushuman24 10.24.18	I bet his password is password
