duh...

sorry then, carry on

:D

Yeah, I got it wasn't MB but I didn't know what you're working on :)

"A drone made with a disfuncional coffee pot."

yeah, we need to be more careful about our random sounds

Eh, that literally sounds awesome :p

(well, ok, not literally, I haven't listened yet)

"As you can imagine, the cost of maintaining Freesound has been increasing as the site has grown" can't you just throw all the stuff in the IA and just be an index?

:D

storage and network costs are free for us

because of the university

Oh

development costs

So what's the cost, maintenance?

Ok

also, FS has always been a tool to collect secret data for research

so we keep track of downloads, clicks, etc

which would be more difficult if we move downloads offsite

Oh you evil spies

Ok, gotcha

But yeah, no point anyway if you don't pay for them :D

The patreon thing someone suggested sounds interesting

(I wonder if MB has ever looked into that)

although, if there's anything that newhost move has shown me, hetzner is really cheap and we could probably host it on only 2 or 3 servers :D

yeah, patreon is interesting

I mean I've seen it for other things but not often for dev work

we got a 500% increase in donations just by posting that, though

But it's definitely doable

or even more

(https://www.patreon.com/bay12games)

and many people posting their first comment on our forum in this thread, so it sounds like for the most part it's just a matter of telling people that they can do it

send them a nag email once every 6 months

(that is the only dev patreon I've seen)

Yeah, that sounds reasonable too

Of course, 500% increase usefulness depends on how much the start point is :p

the download/everyone else ratio is incredible

we shift about 600gb of sounds a day

if 1/10 of downloaders donated $2 every time they downloaded, we would be self-sufficient)

Well sure, and if every active MB editor donated $2 per month we'd have at least one extra dev, but eh

(that's why Patreon and the like are kinda neat, because they automatically are repeating IIRC so it makes it more likely they donate again and again)

(even if they forget about it :D)

yep

(and once you set a recurring payment it's easy to forget you have... as my paying my ISP for like 9 months after closing my contract proves *sigh*)

we have paypal, we could always tell them to set up a recurring payment

reosarevok: you got that bakc thoguh, :O??

Yeah, but that feels different somehow. Dunno. Somehow "hey maybe make a recurring payment" sounds more like begging than "hey maybe use this site which happens to make recurring payments" :D

CatQuest: I didn't, but it got stored as "pre-payment" for my account

.. wich you never used anymore? ¬¬

So once I reopen a contract I'll just not pay for it for a while

reosarevok: yeah :D

I mean, I might be able to get it back if I ask, but eh, effort

it'd be nice to hook in to patreon to let people fund their favourite sound uploaders, too

btw, does anyone know of a neat way to incorporate the sort of grap like

in blogposts? neatly

I wonder if we could do a multi-split

user pays x per month

10% to patreon, 50% to freesound, 40% to some chosen sound creators

souns a bit like humble bundle get up :D

CatQuest: tbh I'd just screenshot it

:/

I don't see any embed options so...

I have the tiny screen thoguh :/

i also literally have things zomed out almost everywhere also, for this reason

hmm if i normal zoom that oage..

oi dæven

I've zoomed out like 3 or osmething XD

You don't need to log in to see the report, so you could just link to it

default 100 % view it looks ridiculus for me :D

yeeeaa.

You could embed it in some iframe or something, but that'd look awful on mobile I imagine so :/

i wanted to show a neat picture thoguh.. maybe a screen capture.. but by someoen with alike, a bigger screen or something o_O

CatQuest: http://imgur.com/a/CycM2 ?

reosarevok: you da real mvp

(or how that goes :D9

Also !m CatQuest

eh

:D

!m CatQuest

You're doing good work, CatQuest!

That's a pretty impressive graph :)

hah.. maybe metabrainz should pay me and not you? :P

good job! :)

har du seriøst 1 øre? becasue I collect coins and I'd love an actual 1øre coin, yes please :D

haha doh!

hehehe backfire :D

indeed =)

"Production of 1 and 2 øre coins ceased in 1972"

uh oh

shoulda read wikipedia further

haha

indeed

reosarevok: if I find wikipage about like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_%28performanc... where the instrument (poi) is an integral part, is it ok to link this t othe instrument in mb? maybe not..

Hmm

"Poi refers to both a style of performing art and the equipment used for engaging in poi performance"

I could see that

wikidata actually says "balls swing rythmically on strings" wich is litterally a description of the instrument too

well usage of it

Yeah I'd say link it

👍

reosarevok: can yo uhelp me with the grammar of this description: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/9fb5bbb...

(anyone esle too of course, but they wont be able to edit it :D)

What about that now?

perfect. thnak you :D

now only one left! :D

I really like Bandcamp's recent blog stuff about small scenes https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/05/24/vaporwave...

:D

Of course, I also approve of someone called "STΛQQ ƟVERFLƟ"

:D tag with sillyname

I can't seem to figure how aggregate rating is computed in MB. Would be helpful for the ratings project of CB.

(but I think it's what you want)
