New site coming

jimbobhickville · November 4th, 2005, 12:07 PM

A new version of Librarius Metallicus is nearly completed. Expect it before the end of the year. I'll give a heads up when it's up, with a list of what's new.

Goreripper · November 10th, 2005, 12:23 PM

Ha. Cool.

Goreripper · November 10th, 2005, 12:24 PM

The old site is still there, in case anyone's wondering.

jimbobhickville · November 11th, 2005, 10:00 AM

Yeah, sorry if that confused anyone. The old site will be up until I replace it with the new site. I'm not one of those geniuses that takes down the old site for six months while building the new one, and then never finishes so everyone gets the 'New Site Coming Soon' page forever. I hate people who do that.

the cradle of filth section is rather incomplete. i could make hundreds of changes... the album list is VERY incomplete... i could at least post another 50 albums more

(meaning bootlegs, demos, rehearsals, special editions)

Goreripper · November 30th, 2005, 10:20 PM

I am thinking of drafting a policy regarding bootlegs that would exclude them from inclusion. Demos are fine, but 'special editions' of previously released albums (remasters with new tracks, double albums with bonus live tracks, etc.) are pretty superfluous. There's plenty of space in the notes section for each release to chronicle 'special editions', re-releases, picture vinyl versions etc. But if you do see an official release that's missing (single, EP, demo or album), just include the details either here or in an email or PM and it can be added (once checked

).

The reason I don't want bootlegs added is because some bands have a ridiculous amount of them, and if we include them for one band, we'll need to include them for everyone. Just including the known bootlegs from Metallica would add about 500 albums to their list, and that's even without including "interview discs" and useless crap like that.

Yeah, I've always discouraged adding special editions or remasters as separate releases.

The new site is close to ready. I just have to finish up the search function. Definitely by the end of the year it will be live, but likely much sooner.

I can never have enough databases to look at when doing my research. Can't wait for the new site!

jimbobhickville · January 16th, 2006, 11:36 AM

Damn, I hate when I make statements like 'definitely by the end of the year'. Especially when they don't end up working out. I'm still around, but haven't had much time to work on things lately. I'll try to get things wrapped up soon, I can promise nothing more.

Goreripper · January 18th, 2006, 08:53 AM

DOn't sweat it Greg. Good things take time.

jimbobhickville · January 31st, 2006, 08:09 PM

It's up now. Enjoy.

Goreripper · February 1st, 2006, 08:01 PM

Sweet

jimbobhickville · February 2nd, 2006, 05:00 PM

Hey Goreripper, I just got an email saying your 'contact me' link isn't working, which means that the email address in the database is probably old. Could you check on that? Send me an email so I can forward the email along.

Goreripper · February 4th, 2006, 12:50 AM

It should be right. I've double checked it.
