Commodore Remix

My wishlist:

* Each tune gets its own messagewall. Shouts will still be there, but here the remixer can take part in the "conversation".

* Each remixer gets its own messagewall on his profilepage.

* A tune's rank is displayed on the arranger's profilepage.

* Display the date of a shout.


Anyone?

Reads as:

A whooping assload of work for LMan.
If this doesn't impact site performance and LMan has no life otherwise, this could happen.
But I doubt it.

Heyho and thanks for the suggestions.
- I thought of a "reply" function for shouts, but this would mean changing the shouting rules somewhat (prevent editing of shouts and such)

- Messagewall on the profile page... hmm must ponder this.

- Tune rank is not on the arranger's profile page because it is the arranger's profile page and should mainly represent the arranger, not what other people think of him. This philosophy actually disqualifies the messagewall.

- Date of a shout... hmm what for? Would clutter the display. But I'm open for opinions, so please discuss this.


Of course, making all those features optional would solve the philosophical problem, but as of now I can not spare enough time to implement all this. There has not been an ease on my real life tasks for a cople of years now, thus improvements of remix64 come in slowly.

I think shouts are fine without replies. Shouts are basically just information to the remixer anyway.
However, usually a remixer likes to discuss the tunes, and I think it's just a good thing to offer a remixer to have a messagewall on his/her page or on the tune's pages. It is also a good way for the listeners and fans of the remixer to express their opinions in detail. I agree it should be optional and perhaps he/she should be able moderate it.

To see when a comment is shouted is not important, but I don't see why it shouldn't be there.. It would be nice to see if a shout is 3 years old or two months old.

The song discussion thingy exists over at slayradio.org. It also includes various other bits of information.
A good example of usage could be Reyn Ouwehand's Green Beret. Have a look: http://www.slayradio.org/discuss.php?ID=2999&what=song

Cheerio!

That's very cool, but not too active it seems..
Perhaps each C64 tune on Remix64 could have a link to the slayradio discussion page, if that's not too much hazzle?

It's a fairly new feature so it hasn't gotten that much attention yet, but it's slowly filling in...
But yes, it would be nice to link from r64 to slayradio. On my end a fairly simple task to feed LMan the SLAY Radio song ID<->RKO/R64 song ID link table. Don't know what it would entail in form of work for LMan though.

Let's create an interface some time.
