dude, seriously- its been like three months since last update. now, i think thats too long, and im sure many would agree with me- so- could u plz have an update soon??? plz???
Do you srsly want to be smacked? Complaining isn't going to help make the updates appear faster. T___T You really need to learn when to shut the fuck up.
It's only been a month...
I think he means an update when songs were added. Wasn't the last one just Jamaha saying the updates are now in the forum?

Which was on July 22....one month ago...
Fine then. YOU update. YOU go through every single submission. YOU add and fix things that need done. YOU tell people they're song is accepted. YOU add every single midi file and mus file to the database. YOU announce it to the world. T_T
Who actually does do submissions? Is it just nintendude (because he's the only one I see saying songs are accepted) or do the other global mods and Jamaha help? And what about the NSM staff?
The admins and mods obviously don't care about updating since most of the sheets will be on the forums. It's really only extra work.
I just checked, the last time Nintendude told somebody their sheet was accepted was July 10th. It's not his fault, he has a TON of work to do if it is him and only him doing these sheets. He even said that he is a mod on another forum where he spends more time. The site needs to get a submission team to deal with all of this.

I agree 100% That is a lot of work for ONE person to do....
this is something that's been beaten to death... why does it matter so much if the sheets are on the site or not? if you need sheets, then you can just download them off the submission forum...
and the submission team is a one-man team at the moment, unless something has changed...

ditto
Thanks guys for realizing how much work it is to do an update. It's a ton of work for one person to do, and it's not very much fun at all (the first couple of times it's exciting to have power, but as you do more and more, you're just about ready to pass it on to someone else). As someone else mentioned, the songs are all there in the forum, so it is confusing to me as to why people would post in the forums asking where the updates are. Either way, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update, but that's not likely to change any time soon, as I just recently started school again and I have a horrendous course load that comes with a lot of homework (So far this year I've averaged about 4-5 hours of homework a night). Any free time I have is more of a privilege than a right, and I'd much rather be playing games than updating NSM. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.
All of that said, with any luck, there will be another update coming soon, from someone other than myself. Hopefully they will enjoy the process more than I have, but I'm sorry (and not sorry ;) ) to say that my days of updating the site are probably long gone, at least for the school year.

Well, good luck at school. 8D

I totally agree this is far too much work for just one, but I do think I does matter if they are on the site or not. I'm a newbie here and one of the things I liked best about this site is that it's so fantasticly organized. If you want a sheet, it's so easy to just look it up in the database and really, looking sheet music in all the arrangements of ppl really is a hell of a job... Which even makes it not worth to look for...

I can help. I know a fair bit of html, and such. I know the basics of css, but I'm not good at it. I'm slowly diving into programing MySQL databases
There is no HTML or PHP involved. You don't have to be able to code at all. It's just an extremely time-consuming and often dull process.
Talk to JaMaHa if you're interested in trying though.
yay nakah 8)
ok- well, when i posted this topic, i had no idea that it was just nintendude was updating- i thought there was at least 3-4 updaters, so sorry nintendude- I realize thats alot of work to do for one person to do- like i said- i thought there was multiple people updating. so,can cocerto just lock this topic and can we get on with our life
Unfortunately, this isn't the end of the conversation. Just like nintendude, Nakah now is a one-man team. And he'll probably tire out too, not because of any fault of his own but just because of all the hard work he's starting to put into the submissions. I think we need a submission team, with a system that minimizes work for all the updaters and still gets all the songs covered. Maybe have a team of like 5 people, and once a song gets a certain amount of approvals, like 2 or 3, the song is accepted? I'm not sure exactly, I'm just throwing out ideas. I still think we need to do something about this though.

i like this idea
So do I, but that would be far too hard for me (since I'm just a newbie with no experience at all :D)

Maybe 2-3 people to look in submissions thread to approve them, then they send the songs to 1 or 2 people that edit(fix titles and stuff) them, then they send them to a person,like nakah, who will put it on the site. This would really decrease the work load, and I'm sure we can refine this some more.
