Hawks 09.16.25	Colton wtf is this "folk scares me" post you put up under my name????
Colton 09.16.25	I wanted to call it SoundShelf but the domain was taken and would have cost like 5 grand to acquire it. I like RecordTrove cause it's kind of like a play on "treasure trove"
Colton 09.16.25	lol sorry hawks I was just testing stuff out. I can delete that for you if you want
budgie 09.16.25	you made a bunch of accounts of ppl here and wrote posts pretending to be them with their personalities like a psychopath serial killer playing with dolls of ppl he wants to murder in his basement

Colton 09.16.25	Cugno's thread is lit rn
TheSonomaDude 09.16.25	I've been trying to add new artists but nothing is happening when I hit the "Submit" button. anything I'm doing wrong?
RVAHC13 09.16.25	Crap Sonoma can’t add load and st anger to the database what is he gonna do
TheSonomaDude 09.16.25	wrongo pal, I already started my load campaign on the new site. nobody can stop my load, hahahahahaha bitch
Colton 09.16.25	@sonoma that’s because you have to be given the role of editor to interact with the database. i can give it to you when im home in an hour or two
RVAHC13 09.16.25	@Sonoma well im gonna add megadeth’s last 4 albums and give them all 5’s >:(
brickhed 09.16.25	is my test account still alive or did i forget the password nevermind forgot the password im in
budgie 09.16.25	Crap Sonoma can’t add load and st anger to the database what is he gonna do LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Colton 09.16.25	huge
Colton 09.16.25	Sowing has also joined
RVAHC13 09.16.25	Thank you Colton for letting me onboard, I think I did it right but I can’t see my profile yet but maybe it takes a second
TheSonomaDude 09.16.25	I love you guys. I wish you could adopt me
DocSportello 09.16.25	I’ll nevr join ur site (or have I?)
Colton 09.16.25	I suspect you have...
Colton 09.16.25	@RVAHC were you able to get in?
Hawks 09.16.25	I was.
Futures 09.16.25	trusting colton with your internet privacy should automatically get you on a watchlist of some sort
TheSonomaDude 09.16.25	make me editor pwease daddy Cole fingers
RVAHC13 09.17.25	I can log in but the “my profile” doesn’t take me anywhere Here’s the profile url: https://www.recordtrove.com/user/kip
Colton 09.17.25	@sonoma you have it now
Colton 09.17.25	@rvach hmm sorry about that, not sure exactly what happened. it seems like there's no actual kip user created in the database. maybe just try signing up again (with a different email if possible) and see if it works
gabba 09.17.25	A parallel universe has opened its gates, but there's a frog in the grog: should we stick to the classic & award-winning or switch to the new and improved? A dilemma dating back to the invention of the wheel on fire.
RVAHC13 09.17.25	Alright now I have a profile! It still lets me login with my original email/password, did that original profile really never get created? Also will I ever be able to switch my email on my new one?
Colton 09.17.25	doesn't look like it did, no. not sure what happened there, I'm gonna look into it further. glad you're in now though. I'll look into allowing people to change their emails too although it might be tricky with the way google's auth system works
ArsMoriendi 09.17.25	Niice
Colton 09.17.25	ars if you go to the charts page and look at the highest rated albums of all time in all genres Chocolate and Cheese by Ween is #1
ArsMoriendi 09.17.25	haha that's bizarre, but nice
RVAHC13 09.17.25	If you are gracious enough to grant me the powers of editing I can spruce up the database as well
Colton 09.17.25	done
RVAHC13 09.17.25	Thank you sir
budgie 09.17.25	thank u sir *farts in coltons mouth
jrlikestodance 09.17.25	My accounts set up now (:
RVAHC13 09.17.25	When you’re attaching multiple genres to an artist/album do you have to separate them by commas?
Colton 09.17.25	Yes, commas and spaces. I will be improving this soon so there will be a dropdown of some kind
chemicalmarriage 09.17.25	What do I get for being a shitty member of 2 cults
Veldin 09.17.25	I didn’t add a profile pic when creating account, am I out of luck now or can I add one later? When I click on empty profile pic box it just brings me to pie chart tab
Colton 09.17.25	i’m gonna add the ability for users to update their profile pics soon. but for now you can just shoutbox me the link to the photo and i’ll add it for you
RVAHC13 09.17.25	Alright I’ve added death cab as my first db contribution, unfortunately I submitted asphalt meadows as a live album, if you’re able to delete that I can re-enter it. Sorry lol
Colton 09.17.25	no worries, you should be able to update that by going to the album page, hovering over it and clicking Edit Album
RVAHC13 09.17.25	I just noticed that, I fixed it
Colton 09.17.25	awesome. I appreciate you guys contributing to the db
Colton 09.17.25	well guys something really bad happened. basically I was running the app on low memory servers just to test things out and more people joined than I anticipated which crashed the database. there were almost 40 people that joined. and because I just got a new laptop I hadn't properly configured my ssh keys which allow me to backup data from the deployed database instance to my computer. so unfortunately all of today's data was lost... which fuckin sucks. I'm sorry guys
Colton 09.17.25	this is the kind of thing that happens when you launch an app, stuff is bound to go wrong. I have upgraded the servers so they have more memory and will not crash but more importantly I've now got it set up so it will create backups automatically and store them locally on my computer so even if the database does crash again it'll just pop right back up a minute later and I can throw in the data from the backup
Colton 09.17.25	those of you who made accounts today will unfortunately have to recreate them
DoofDoof 09.17.25	I guessed ;)
DoofDoof 09.17.25	Good luck though, still looking great
Ectier 09.17.25	Ill make an account at some point
Dunderbus 09.17.25	The website button does not work. Objection.
BookoftheFallen 09.17.25	Ill get started adding some of the essential pornogrind albums to the database
DocSportello 09.17.25	“trusting colton with your internet privacy should automatically get you on a watchlist of some sort“ Some of us are still willing to take risks I guess!
pizzamachine 09.17.25	Amazing work Colton! Congrats
Colton 09.17.25	ty pizzamachine you should put your discog on there
brickhed 09.17.25	daunting task to start adding all of the bdm i like to the database, best to get started at least
Colton 09.17.25	I will give you the editor role so you can add stuff
Colton 09.17.25	also gonna make it so people’s tags show up on their profile and beside their name when they comment
pizzamachine 09.17.25	@ Colton: yaaaas
Colton 09.17.25	alright database has been upgraded. 4x as much RAM now
brickhed 09.17.25	colton please let me edit some of the genre descriptions, it's so clearly copy pasted from wikipedia and i hate it least on the death metal one
Colton 09.17.25	that's a good idea. I'll work on enabling that once I finish updating the UI so it tells you when you lack the required role to make changes, and adding the SputnikMusic theme that was requested
Colton 09.17.25	for now you can just post your description of death metal here and I'll update it manually
brickhed 09.17.25	i'll post it when i think of something good since everyone is gonna see it
brickhed 09.17.25	"Death Metal is a subgenre of extreme metal with a focus on heavily downtuned and distorted guitars, blast beats, and guttural vocals. The first bands to do so stem from the early to mid 80’s, alongside Possessed, Necrophagia, and Death. It exploded in popularity in the early 90’s, and developed quickly from there." feel free to tweak if needed, i was really struggling not to use 'with' again. tried not to make it too long, unless you wanna do a RYM type thing where you have the option to really go in detail. if you wanna do that lemme know.
Colton 09.17.25	that looks good to me. just updated it. and you can make them as short or as long as you want really, I'll leave that up to you guys
Colton 09.17.25	sputnikmusic theme in the works rn
brickhed 09.17.25	added an album, saw i made a mistake with the release date, and i can't edit it at all, even though i'm an editor (i think). am i missing something? also i do like that i can just add the image URL instead of having to download the image and maybe resize it. not sure how the score function works on the profile though, i assume its in the works.
Colton 09.17.25	what was the album? I'll take a look
Colton 09.17.25	score is derived from a few different things, you gain a certain amount of points per comment, review, rating, etc
brickhed 09.17.25	Digested Flesh - The Answer to Infection correct date is actually 2004-12-30
Colton 09.17.25	hmm okay, you do have the editor role and I was able to update that date, so not sure what the issue was, but I will investigate. let me know if it happens again
Colton 09.17.25	back up to 30 users let's go
Ectier 09.18.25	31 i made my account
Colton 09.18.25	welcome!
GreyShadow 09.18.25	looks good man!! did you need/want any dev help? happy to at the very least take a look at any issues
Colton 09.18.25	thanks! and yeah definitely, any feedback is appreciated
GreyShadow 09.18.25	feel free to send the repo!
Colton 09.19.25	hmm I don't know if I should share the actual code just for security reasons. not that I don't trust you or anything. but if you wanna make an account and test it out and try to break stuff that's always appreciated
ScuroFantasma 09.19.25	Site looks awesome man, congrats and well done
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 09.19.25	can u make digs lists
Colton 09.19.25	thank you scuro glad you like it
Colton 09.19.25	@mryrt yes, there are some updates to post functionality in the works that will enable lists like we have here on Sput
WatchItExplode 09.19.25	Well this is a fascinating development
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 09.19.25	it looks good bud. i want to add btmi and cows to the db im mryrtmrn please
Colton 09.19.25	ty! just gave you the editor role so you can add bands and albums, and I also added BTMI and Cows discogs for ya
twlight 09.21.25	Impressive
Feather 09.21.25	I think Colton is down
0xME 09.21.25	certainly looks that way
Colton 09.21.25	the service I deployed the database through was doing maintenance. and for some reason wiped everything in the process. this is why backups are so important. everything's back up now
Colton 09.21.25	I have an idea that's either genius or the stupidest idea ever. when the new Taylor Swift drops I'll write a semi-negative review and then make a fake Taylor Swift fan account on Twitter and complain about the review, prompting people to flood the site
Beardog 09.21.25	How come records show up multiple times in the charts mr. Coltonmusic?
Colton 09.21.25	hmm where are you seeing that? which charts?
Beardog 09.21.25	Charts for top rated albums, e.g. 2025 all genres, Wolf Alice's the clearing shows up twice, once on the top, once at the bottom. Happens to multiple records.
Colton 09.21.25	oh the 3 lists on the charts page are for different things. one is sorted by rating, one is sorted by popularity (amount of ratings) and the third one is just recent albums. they’re 3 separate lists
Beardog 09.21.25	lmfao I'm blind, I thought it was one large page hahaha Would help if the titles are a bit larger then ; )
Colton 09.21.25	lol nah, 3 different lists
Colton 09.21.25	but yeah those titles could be bigger you’re right
Colton 09.22.25	gonna start advertising the site on some other platforms soon and see what happens. hopefully it can handle it lol
Feather 09.23.25	"I have an idea that's either genius or the stupidest idea ever. when the new Taylor Swift drops I'll write a semi-negative review and then make a fake Taylor Swift fan account on Twitter and complain about the review, prompting people to flood the site" This is just a step above a Nathan for You pitch
Colton 09.23.25	I'm gonna do it
Colton 09.27.25	lotta changes in recent days and coming up soon
