New forum

How about a new forum where you can request an MP3, etc., post your e-mail addy, & then kick back & wait for another ledgie to fulfill your request?

Then, when that ledgie has sent what you wanted, you delete your request from the forum, or add the word RECEIVED to the bottom of the post so that other ledgies don't keep sending you the same file.

Everybody's always asking for MP3s or photos or other stuff, but these requests are always buried under various & sundry threads, & I have a feeling they get lost.

I think this would be a great idea - much like the "Bootleg Bin" over on Nancy's site.

Johnny Stew · #3 09-12-2005, 08:52 PM

That's actually an excellent idea, David.

I'll suggest it to Marty.

I agree! We need a forum like this.

That's so simple, I might even be able to handle that, then again maybe not.

How about a usendit take one leave one policy....i have heard of other forums that do it this way and it seems to work out fine.
I think it we would then have a great place for those of us who can't do the the torrent files...just a thought

This has been discussed several times, but nothing ever came of it. Same with a trading forum - I believe Brian J. offered to moderate it if it ever came to pass. But it never did.

I remember that too. I think that both of these ideas, mp3 page and a trading page, are terrific ideas. Hopefully, if the right person on here gets ahold of this thread, it will come to pass.

I'd like to moderate the MP3/Photo Request forum because it wouldn't entail any warnings or strikes or debates or discussions. I would just automatically & immediately delete any extraneous off-topic posts. In order for such a forum to function properly, the signal-to-noise ratio must be very high. In fact, the noise must be practically nonexistent.

If such a forum is overrun with chitchat & gab, there's no need for the forum. You might just as well keep all MP3 requests buried in the threads on the other forums, where they are now.

this is a fabulous fabulous idea. the streisand board I visit has one and it makes a WORLD of difference and is so awesome.

WizNicks · #13 09-13-2005, 04:10 PM

Good idea! It would be good to have something like that here!

WelshWitchPMD · #14 09-13-2005, 04:35 PM

I would be up for a trading forum but not so much for an email sharing forum. I think that they are both good ideas, however.

BTFLCHLD · #15 09-13-2005, 06:25 PM

maybe a datadump that can be sorted for duplicates...then anyone at anytime can upload or down...it they are deleted once specific requests are fulfilled then someone new on board may not have the chance to receive?
