Tonite's broadcast - London Part 2 Oct 18

[King of Snake]

how's the membership activation speed of RTSR these days stimp? I remember hearing that sometimes people had to wait for weeks before being accepted into RTSR. I can imagine this might turn people off who are looking for shows.

My personal feelings on this issue are similar to Jan's. Small clips, YouTubes, etc, are fine for here. When you start talking about whole shows, take it to RTSR. And yeah, RTSR would be easier to use with a forum rather than a mailing list.

i'm not quite sure what you mean by 'forum'..

the web interface for yahoogroups, is almost easier
to use that the dirtyforums. you just have to access
it through 'groups.yahoo.com', instead of just subscribing
to it, and looking at the emails..

I activate people almost everyday. But there might have slipped a few of course.

I disagree. The Yahoo message archive is decidedly inferior to a forum like this one. If RTSR had a fo.... the discussion could be categorized. Like, for example, a forum for discussion of the 1995-1996 STITI tour, and a forum for the current tour disucssion. You could search on topic titles alone, instead of entire message content, like Yahoo. Informational threads, like download information, could be stickied for easy reference. How many e-mails have we had on the list that say "I'm sorry, I can't find it, where is the FTP information, and how do I log in?"

Well i did say that it needs an overhaul. The archive isnt as good as this and neither is the forum. But its free, and the hosting is free and its been that way for years. And as lloyd says, approval is daily. Add to that the non-yahoo requirement and the new tracker and I think you can say that improvements have been made. Its far from perfect but it works. However, its still the place for bootlegs discussion. If you dont like it, dont use it. Now can we talk about something else?

the search feature is especially usefull for that, by date, etc.
i use it all the time..you just have to be more specific in
your queries...but yes, it could be improved.
