Okay this took me by surprise so I'm just gonna come out with it: Omni and JCW have made myself and Shellshaka admins.
After the latest drama and John's head getting completely and utterly fried with all the unnecessary drama here, he just had enough. He was bound to leave eventually what with Uni just around the corner for him and there are only so many hours in the day to begin with, but it's a crying shame that the day came a lot sooner as a result of the most recent TIMGUL shitstorm.
There's more I want to say but I'm scared of boring people half to death with all the little details. I said myself that JCW was leaving behind some pretty big shoes to fill, I never thought I would be among those to step into them.
I don't want to say too much while Shaka is still in bed and can't offer any thoughts at the moment but I think it's safe to speak for him by saying say that we will both do our best to live up to the JCW standard because we love this place and its uniqueness. I even sent Shaka a private message on here just in case he had a heart attack or something upon his next login! I really am pretty lost for words, and am anxious to speak with Shaka about this crazy news.
Anyway I'm sincerely flattered for one thing and as I said will do my best to live up to John's high benchmark of quality admin service ;) as I'm certain Shellshaka will. Still gutted after that farewell post though, it really is a sad day for TIMGUL but let's just see where we go from here.
Well I've rambled on long enough, gonna call it a night now and I'm curious to see what Shaka has to say about all this tomorrow as I'm sure he'll have something to say!
One last thing, I just want to say to John how much I appreciate everything he did for this place. Good luck with Uni and I hope everything falls into place for you and your lady - I can honestly say you deserve it. :)
This is Neil signing in.
"We are behind you sire... to the death..." -300
holy cow blonde you bet i'm surprised!!! in fact i'm speechless!! jesus!
gotta go to work now, we'll chat later hoi
Congratulations to you guys in getting the jobs. Glad to see two members at the wheel who, like the former Admins, Really care about the site and the community. It would be nice to see everyone who left return, but unfortunatly life's priorities seem to have a grasp on a lot of members, including myself, which keeps some from participating as frequently as we used to. I won't speak on the drama thats transpired within the last couple of days, but I will say that I'm happy to see the community growing the way that it is, for every member that leaves there seems to be another to fill the gap and bring their own unique music and styles to the table,in addition to the members who return. I also hope to see more members return as TIMGUL heads into this new stage of growth.
congrats shell n blonde-i have a feeling u guys will do great and keep this place happy n peaceful cheers capser

glad your back Majix!!!
wb james-since rob took over as admin we haven't had any drama-just like the old days :D glad to have you back casper
Welcome back man! Yep a strict no-drama policy is in place. Proud to say we're back to old times on TIMGUL and many, many new members. I believe 50 over the past 2 months. A lot of fantastic new music/artists to be heard. Now, get to creating, James! I want to hear some new stuff from you! :)
When is the site being revamped?
I want HIGH DEFINITION filming!!! Brighter colours!! Deeper blacks!!!!! I want sharper images and a soft-focus glowing effect surrounding each member as they come in and out of the forums. I want music to be played in SURROUND SOUND MUTHAFUKKAS! I want a NEW THEME TUNE! I want a NEW LOGO! I want opening and closing titles showing the name of each member and big smiley shots of each member!! I want an entrance with glasses of Shloer available for everyone to sip! I want tiny glowing pixies floating around to create a mystical atmosphere! I want regular trips to the moon!

LOL :D Rikki. Is that all.... You made me laugh so hard I almost pooped myself! ;D :) :D
I'd like there to be a song rating system, stars out of 5 or something, as well as comments. So if guests hear the music, they can rate it :D
that's a cool idea dan the only problem with it is there are a couple of bitter people who were banned who would prolly give all the songs a bad rate-however from experience i can tell you that if some asshole gets banned from a forum ur on and 6 months later is making up fake nicks to get in and harass you-u must be doing something right lol-i'm in favor of rating so long as we can be clear-it means nothing the true value of your music lies in whether your song made one person-have goosebumps-hum along-dance-feel happy-smile and so on-bring on the ratings lol casper
heres an idea for rates,lol great-good-maybe-idunno-don't ask don't tell hehe
Yeah thats a good point casper. Maybe with the rating system have only members allowed to do it, or even yet only buddies. This way only trusted people are allowed to rate. I think also there should be a section for verse collab songs, so that way they are much easiert to find. It seems my idea to do verse tracks has taken hold lol, and i didn't think it would be that good of an idea. And if say someone wants to do a verse track, on our profile it should state what generator software we have, so if i like perfson x's music, and he has m2k, i could ask him/her if he/she wants to do a verse track. I think verse tracks enhances our ability to create songs, and build off eachother.
I think I saw a rating system somewhere on SMF official website. I forgot if it was for SMF 1.1.x or 2.0, though. I agree it may be abused, though, if a troll was to join and rate every song 1 star, though. On Youtube the rating system was already abused.
Another thing I have on my other website is an individual post rating system where you can rate people comments up or down, like the old Youtube comment rating system, except each comments could only be rated once by the same user and the total amount of votes showed up as the person's Karma. Usually, people will rate up project updates and helpful comments and rate down useless offensive remarks. However I doubt this is needed on TIMGUL given the comments positiveness or helpfullness, plus on my other site it got abused once by a troll who rated 400 of my posts down. We kept it though because it seemed to discourage people who are more rude from being as rude to not get rated down and sometimes we get 400 posts a day so it would be hectic to moderate otherwise. As I said, such system would not be needed on TIMGUL. A topic rating system enabled in the songs section would maybe work, though. I'm unsure. People may just rate the track up and not post, decreasing the site overall activity.
On a side note I just noticed TIMGUL had the most active July in its history. Check the board stats at the bottom and compare July 2008, 2009 and 2010: http://www.mtv-music-generator.com/index.php?action=stats
Yeah good point. Although i thought it would be mad to have like a top 20 or something list. Maybe have something like a cheer, and a cheer only on the song itself. Only members can hit it. and only once per member. The song with the most cheers leads the TIMGUL charts. I like that idea.
What about a MUSIC PLAYER on the main home page that plays any random song produced by any of us members, so that we can hear songs we might have missed or forgotten about.
And some kind of chart is an awesome idea. Provided it is done in a way that encourages producers, rather than makes them feel pissed off about not having made it into the charts....hmmm...
I LOVE the idea of a music player embedded on the main page. The points you brought up, Rikki is exactly why. I also really like the idea of a chart of sorts. I'm not exactly sure how to go about that to make sure it is absolutely fair and not have anyone abuse it. Omni would be the man to get that done.
most active july!!!woohoo!!! i been checking the stats and thats why i know this site is BACK!! hell yeah!!and yes i would LOVE a flash player-perhaps for a certain number of tracks for each member casper
Maybe have a rating system like i mentioned for each catergory. So have a top ten for each of them, and have it so you can only give a thumbs up to any song. The song with the most thumbs up leads in its catergory. I think this would increase peoples insopiration to create more advanced well made songs. If a guest would like to give a thumbs up, then they should register to do so...possible way of getting more members?
The song on the home page idea is brilliant!!!!!
I like the idea of a rating system following on to a chart. So you cannot rate songs DOWN, only UP, and the ten most UP rated songs will be in the charts.
And there should be charts for each genre (although a problem with this is...are there enough songs posted on each genre?) - unless it is done monthly?
Also, I think on the main home page, there should be a huge breast. Just one though.
Maybe it should be top 3 for each genre?
Yeah :)
A music player running random trax? Awesome! with direct links to the posting? & A ratings system would rock. charts would mean there would be alot of mp3 management! lol. freshenin up some new stuff and dustin off some oldies!
Sounds like a great idea!
