Title: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Jamaha on May 05, 2013, 03:54:18 AM
(For what this is about, see this link) (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=5572.0)

And yet another thread, this time for the forum itself. The forum seems to work mostly fine so this probably isn't as critical as the others. But still, there's always room for improvement. Obviously with the site update the request and submission forums will see some changes, but are there other changes you'd like made as well?

Would a custom theme improve the overall feel of the forum or is the current one adequate?

I like the current light blue we're having.

I do agree that our current color scheme is rather relaxing and, to a degree, gentle on the eyes.


However, it WOULD be an interesting concept if there were a theme where the user could design a custom color scheme for themselves.

We used to have this feature-did we lose it in one if the crashes? Almost forgot about it.

Whatever happens, we cannot -I repeat- cannot change the forum color scheme to black. It's most depressing.

We need a place kinda like the "What time/key is this song in?" thread, but for any kind of music theory issues and questions.

I'll be back when I think of something else.

This is the sort of thing you can already do... JaMaHa is talking about changes to the forum look and layout; i.e., color scheme, smileys available, text font, any buttons that don't already exist up there under your avatar, etc.

Right, right. We need a Gmail button!

I remember wishing there was an emoticon that isn't there but I can't recall what it was.

I do realise that I am (obviously) completely new to the site, but since you are planning on updating I might as well add some things that were on my mind. At least this might help the planning go a tiny bit further in your head :) (or disrupt it... you never know).

♦ I don't know about everyone else, but I find a lot of the font sizes to be way too small, especially in proportion to some of the other fonts. I don't think it is highly necessary for the quoted text to be so minuscule; most people would not type so many lines as to go over the default height of their post, so what reason is there for "saving space" like that? The menu bar at the top can also be made larger, it looks to be about the same size as the default font.
♦ When I click on a thread that has new replies since my last visit, it does not redirect me straight to the new post(s), is it supposed to do that? I sort of assumed that if you click on the "New" icon it would "snap" the screen to the first new post. It would be wonderful if I wouldn't have to scroll through the page to find the newest post (while reading all the small text on the dates). Even adding a little "star" or a bright little icon next to the date of the unread posts would help immensely.
♦ I'd also find it helpful if there were several different skins to choose from. For example, sometimes I find it more soothing to the eyes if there is a darker background (ie. dark blue) with white text. Even a darker main background with the current theme would frame the posts nicely, I think.
♦ More options to fill in on our profile pages, perhaps? Even something as simple as "Your Preferred Musical Instrument" or "Occupation" would be fantastic. Just so that we may learn something basic about the other members instead of having to figure it out by reading all the posts.
♦ One last thing - you can never have too smileys. :P

If I stay around a little bit longer, I'm sure I would become accustomed to the layout, but at the moment it has been quite awkward.

The "New" button does take you to the specific post, so either you aren't a waiting long enough or there's a problem.

They're just the default size and I haven't bothered to alter them. They look fine to me, though.

As SlowPokemon said, it should work as you described right now.

The problem with multiple skins is that not all addons installed to the forum necessarily work with them. I'll keep that suggestion in mind anyway.

Agreed. That should be simple to implement.

As someone who hardly bothers with smileys (as I'm an emotionless Finn) I don't really see the need. Plus it looks like the most important smileys are already represented.

Quote from: YugiMaybe make a "Trash can" board? Where we move all our locked topics?

We had that before. I don't really see the need. Enlighten me though, because there obviously is some kind of reason for that.

A trash can board might be useful occasionally, but it isnt necessarily needed. The only thing I can really see it being useful for besides cleaning out the other boards is organizing all the funnies (like the longest child) all in one place yes i know its gone its just an example

No worries, I wouldn't want to shove even more work on you, especially when I don't have much of a clue as to how to go about altering the site formatting. Like I said, I'll get used to it eventually.

The archive/trash can forum is helpful to keep "spam" away, but this forum seems to be pretty well organised IMO. After all, the members make a forum site what it really is.

@FSM: Those are really cute smileys. ^^

I just realised I made a typo in my previous post.. gah, whatever!

If they are unofficial I doubt it. Unofficial ones help motivate others to arrange and many many more sheets get done. Maybe the next project shouldn't be something I want...lol...but should be the request board. There are hundreds of requests not done just sittin in there collecting dust. We should clean out at least some of the requests....? Maybe some giant " Do 100 Request Projects" or something :p

Probably IP ban evasion is how he got back. Apparently the staff wanted to give him a second chance so they didn't do anything, but after he posted some links to pirated serials for finale, that was it.

"..because Wendy had always insisted on 'safety first.' But how safe could she have been when she was plummeting 1000 feet to her death without a parachute. A funny thing about jumping out of airplanes, it is usually a fatal activity. Death is a funny thing, it's a constant force in his world, and everything is trying to kill you. Even your own heart can get sick of your shit and attack you in the middle of the night. A lot of bad things happen in the night. Once my cousin, Jacob, was walking down some back alleys one night and tripped over an empty trashcan. An empty trashcan is nothing more than a depository for lies. And just like that my lies had reached their zenith; as she fell without a parachute she had to wonder how this could've happened? Well it largely happened because I pushed her, but that was beside the point. The point was she felt the need to not repay that $20 she owed me. And for what? All for some corndogs at the fair. And they weren't even good corndogs! She took two bites and proceeded to throw them away like a used condom from a $5 fair. We did make love that night behind ferris wheel, though the staff and families on it didn't seem to appreciate that fact. That was a good night. A lot of good things can happen at night. Once I remember meeting the sweetest, most charming girl in the world. Her name was Wendy, and the best thing about her was that she was always prepared. There was never a time in which she didn't anticipate, and she always made sure to never be in any kind of danger. But her biggest mistake was meeting me; I was dangerous. So after the corndog incident I made it a point to prove her wrong. So I had convinced her to go skydiving, and she agreed but only after lots of training, because Wendy had always insisted on 'safety first...'"

I don't think it's going to happen. I mean, it'd be nice, but I'd like to think that people delete and edit posts because they'd like to change what they said for the better. Offensive things would be removed, unnecessary post would be deleted, etc.
What would happen if it was turned off?
Arguments would go on longer, as people could not edit their posts to better and more sensitively state their opinions.
People would constantly have to deal with lousy past posts being drug up, despite the fact they may no longer agree with them.
I don't know about you, but this is not the NSM I want to be a part of. If someone deletes their post because they realized what they said was being taken the wrong way, I respect their opinion.

But it's the internet, so you need to subtract around 5 years to account for how badly some people act.

But has anyone really thought about how irritating this would be for the mods?
Every time someone signed up for a TWG, it would require a mod.
Every time someone wanted to add another sheet to their OP in the personal arrangements thread, it would require a mod.
Every time someone wanted to fix a broken link, it would require a mod.
The list goes on and on.

I only really see this as worsening flame wars, not making them better.
I can also see it being used to constantly bring up previous statements people couldn't take back. I don't want to singe anyone out, but I can think of a few specific scenarios that would happen quite often under this new rule. And I don't want that to happen.

Every time someone wanted to add another sheet to their OP in the personal arrangements thread, it would require a mod. Should this be managed in the nsm portal? I never really looked at it but I assume you can edit there...
Every time someone wanted to fix a broken link, it would require a mod. Use the fucking preview button for once, jesus.
The list goes on and on. Do tell.
Also it wouldn't be just global mods, it'd be all nsm staff who can look at the list of posts that the original poster has flagged for deletion, but will be archived until removed by a global mod.

That way punishment will actually happen to people who post shit.

EDIT: Wait I never said they couldn't edit, just have a "Show previous edits" link.

The best thing I can think of is not allowing users to delete their own post so they would be forced to just edit it to a blank post, and then adding some sort of edit history option.  However, why is this a thing that people really need/want again?  It is a silly concept.

Basically to keep posts on site so mods can actually take action to discipline people who make shitty posts instead of the person just deleting them so they don't look bad.

That's the gist of it.

People deleting posts can suck at times though : / Reading through old topics doesn't make as much sense as it should at times.

Plus, I agree that if someone is going to go out of their way to post something, they had better have the balls to back it up. This whole cowardly "delete my post so I don't get in trouble for it" bs is pretty pathetic.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: MaestroUGC on June 30, 2015, 12:50:25 PM
I suppose the only thing worth looking into in this regard is some sort of record of deleted posts that mods have access to, if only so we have a record of arguments and inflammatory posts.

To me, it just adds a layer of inconvenience to things- for both the poster and the mods. The situations in which it would be helpful are so few and far between that I personally believe it would not be worth it, unless there was a major problem that you needed to be stringent about.

A way to see the other persons arranger name when you go to there profile. You can see your own when you go to your's but no one else's when you go to there profile.

It's just that features like that are on hold at the moment. With Deku leaving and me having practically no free time (well, free time for NSM) making updates to the NSM Panel is rather slow.

I was actually thinking about this too. You would probably need all the songs (for example) from a certain game to be put in track order first before doing any site changes since you'd need them in track order and alphabetical. All the games would need put in track order first unless we're only doing certain games.

No, like giving each arrangement the track number as a hidden value and then reorganizing them upon request. So if, for example, we have track numbers 2, 8, 1, 17, and 6 on the site and appearing in that order alphabetically, we can press a button to switch them to numerically ascending 1, 2, 6, 8, and 17.

Well uh, last time I checked, a question about something wouldn't really be a redesign to the forum, would it :P. I guess we don't really have a general help topic or something, but maybe check here (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?action=help) before you ask questions about something about how the forum itself works. Olimar's answer covers it.

Note: If you would have checked out the linked "help" page and clicked on "profile" and scrolled down to "membergroup" it does state that your "post-based membergroup is displayed."

That's true, but it could still cause spamming.
Maybe it'd be a better idea if there were "achievements" for different things. For example, how much you've spent online, how many arrangements you have on site, how many pictures you've drawn in the art topic, etc.
There are many possibilities.

Basically contributions to the community. Spamming doesn't contribute anything so I guess measuring it like that would work.

Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Dudeman on December 11, 2015, 11:05:04 AM
Perhaps number of sheets that have been accepted? I think that's a pretty standard measure of someone's contribution to the site as a whole. Plus it would be a little added incentive to submit sheets.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: braix on December 11, 2015, 11:14:53 AM
Some people might not want to submit sheets or not be confident enough to arrange anything. You could contribute to the general community by posts and stuff too.
That said, maybe there could be achievements for posts(or whatever it would be) and a separate one underneath for stuff like sheets. Basically one for the forums and one for the main site

I realise that this has been discussed a couple of weeks ago, but I'll add my thought anyway. An alternative to having post count stars could be reputation points, which is basically similar to giving likes to posts except with a bit more meaning (for example, adding a personalised private comment). Plus the more points you have, the higher your reputation power becomes (that is, you hand out more points when giving rep to others). I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about, it's all over the Internet in various forums. ;) This takes away the possible spamming issue that comes with having a post count ranking.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum

That's true, there doesn't appear to be any issues with spamming here just for the post count. :) It was simply a suggestion for an alternate ranking system. A good thing about rep points is you can quickly tell if someone has more useful posts when their post count is low but the rep level is high.

Aye, lots of interesting ideas shared already. If more stats/rankings are implemented, that would always be a welcome change. :)

This whole issue is best exemplified in comparing me and BrainyLucario. As you already know, I have sheets on the site (around 5), while he has just submitted his first 2 sheets, both of which have yet to be accepted. He has more stars than me, even though he just joined rather recently, whereas I joined in January (although I was inactive for a long while). It doesn't bother me, but, and I think Brainy would agree with me on this, I do think the star system stands to be improved. An idea I have had has already been spoken by previous members, although it makes the most sense to me to have an arrangement-based system.

Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Tobbeh99 on December 27, 2015, 05:02:31 PM
I think mlf said something about having achievements instead of stars. And I definitely support that Idea. Some other sites has that idea that if you do certain actions you gain certain achievements. In our case such achievements could be:
Submitting various # sheets, posting various # comments, replacing various # of sheets, submitting sheets for # of different games, starting a # of different topics, being a member for # of years, starting topics on different forums, placing high in an arrangement contest, being friends with # of people etc.

My idea I have is that you'll gain achievements, and these in turn will give you points that will later turn into stars. So in conclusion this will keep the star system but refine it so it depends on a multiple of factors rather than just comments.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: braix on December 27, 2015, 06:11:13 PM
We could do a weighted system. Post count would be 10%, sheets would be 40%, replacing sheets would be 30%, amount of time since joining would be 20%, starting topics would be 5%, etc. (The math doesn't work out but you get my point)
If we implement a weighted system we could easily avoid people spamming by making new topics or by posting too much.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: E. Gadd Industries on December 27, 2015, 08:08:41 PM
Both of those ideas are really good! Tobbeh, yours reminds me of a game such as Smash Bros. or Kirby Air Ride in which you have a whole grid of achievements where you have to do certain things to unlock corresponding rewards/awards. That'd be kinda cool to have, considering this site's goal is to arrange video game sheet music.

If you want to know, I took the idea from khanacademy.org, an educational site, where you can gain achievements from completing math problems, watching videos, get thumbs up on comments etc. Then you can chose which achievements to display, so you can chose the ones you're most proud of. The rest of your achievements can be viewed in your profile page. The difference from that site is that it has more options for what could be an achievements, from completing all kinds of problems in mathematical/scientific areas to watching videos of various topics. So I thought we could have our star system but based on achievements rather than posts.

Achievement points for starting topics is an idea I'd like you to reconsider. It encourages lots of pointless topic-making.

My thought for the arrangement count is a little emoji-esque thing on what I call one's "Forum Card" (the bit on the left side that shows who's posting, their personal text, etc.) that looks like a music sheet. You get one for each arrangement you've posted until you've posted 5 arrangements, after that it turns into (single sheet emoji) x __.
Just a thought.

Quote from: Dude on January 14, 2016, 01:39:05 PMCan we merge double posts, that'd be awesome.
There are plenty of cases where this is undesirable, especially in the Story Telling board. It's much easier to just try to get users to stop unnecessarily double posting than eliminating the ability to double post altogether.

Quote from: Dude on January 14, 2016, 01:44:06 PMAlso, archiving topics older than a year.

Like seriously.
No, no, this is definitely not a good idea. Five years, maybe, but one year is way too short a time for something like that- especially if you have members who have a lot of personal topics (that they may be interested in using in the future) going on temporary hiatuses from the forum (or even in situations where users have topics that they update occasionally but otherwise don't post in often). This seems too catchall to be more helpful than unhelpful, I think.

We could have a section where people could submit requests as a guest, because there's so many people that just make an account for a request and never log on again.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum

This is something to be decided by the updater team as they are the ones who know how many arrangements they can handle in the queue at once.

Suggesting maybe adding the possibility to tag someone in your post? It's a common feature in other forums and much more convenient than PMing people links of certain posts.

The utility would not be to drag people into meaningless disputes they tried to back out of, regardless of how "cowardly" their methods may have been. If somebody edits a post to remove something they said that they would rather not have public, I think they should be allowed to. If it's really a big enough deal that they said something, the mods should be notified and they can deal with it.

I frequently edit posts to fix minor errors or add an idea into a post to avoid double posting. Anonymous editing is completely reasonable.

Possibly, but I see very few scenarios where more consideration might change what a person says. If something embarrassing is posted like they spelled a word wrong or relayed an inaccurate fact, there's not enough harm done to warrant removing edits. If something inflammatory or insensitive is said, it's likely to get said regardless of whether it can be edited simply because it was posted in the heat of the moment. And at that point, removing the ability to edit or delete it only keeps something harmful out there.

On the other hand, if somebody accidentally reveals information that they or somebody involved would rather not have on the internet, it can't be easily edited or removed. I've had a picture of my face posted before because I forgot to mention not to when I turned on my camera in Tinychat. I asked for it to be taken down, and within 20 seconds it was, easily. That along with accidentally posting enormous pictures or other inconveniences and the major benefits of editing links in posts. Heck, what would personal arrangement threads be?

I don't think there's any reasonable need to remove the ability to edit posts, and really, the average forum user doesn't need to know what somebody edits.

I'd prefer: If you're going to say something stupid, at least have the balls to recognize that it's stupid and remove it before you make a fool of yourself. Admitting that you're wrong shows more maturity than trying to back up flawed or hasty reasoning. And I'm not strictly against edit history, but using a post's history to dredge up something that the person edited out (presumably because it was in poor taste and/or the poster realized its inflammatory nature) is just as immature as posting an inflammatory comment in the first place.

So if I tell someone to kill themselves and they see it but I edit it out that's perfectly OK?

Wtf.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Dudeman on February 02, 2016, 10:38:32 PM
Well if you edited it out, I would hope that it would be because you realized your error and wished to fix it. If someone did see it and subsequently called you out, I would hope that you would apologize as a result. Simply editing it out doesn't make it right; it's the attitude behind the edit and the subsequent actions you take that matter.

Also, friendly reminder that the report button exists. If a post is reported it will be taken into consideration regardless of edits.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Zunawe on February 02, 2016, 10:42:51 PM
No, if you say that, it should be reported to the mods and they can deal with it regardless of edits. Saying that people who like Pokemon are immature isn't so serious, but it is something that shouldn't be posted. Apologizing for such a post is obviously the better outcome, but deleting it is preferable to standing by it simply because it's there now. And if it were edited, people shouldn't bring it up in an accusatory way because it's already obvious that the person realized their mistake.

Ninja'd by basically the same thing.

We're working on it, hang tight.

The current rules section is a little vague and does a poor job detailing consequences for actions and also what proper forum etiquette looks like. This new one is a bit on the long side, but it's better than being not explanatory enough.

Dudeee as much as I know it'd be a fun addition for you, imo making such a board would promote the core values of the website. Having limited accessibility would essentially put people on the forums in different positions and equal treatment and access to conversations for everyone wouldn't be as possible. Some people don't find nsfw content that comfortable and it isn't the reason people come here for and I think you agree with me!

Quick question concerning the new etiquette stuff. I recently necrobumped a couple of my threads that were created for the purpose of sharing things I had made. Should exceptions be made for necrobumping threads created by the bumper for a similar purpose (i.e. Personal Arrangement Threads, Art Threads, etc...)?
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: MaestroUGC on February 04, 2016, 02:26:23 PM
Quote from: MaestroUGC on February 04, 2016, 12:12:02 PM- The double posting/necrobumping rule does not apply to your own Arrangement Thread, or other creative threads (like art, original compositions, reviews, etc.) as long as you're bumping it with a new arrangement or appropriate creative content. If you wish to comment on someone else's dead arrangement thread, just send them a PM. Try to avoid "I'm planning to do X, Y and Z" posts if you're going to necro-bump; just post the material when it's ready.
Modified to reflect those additional creative threads.

There's no reason we need "special clubs' or anything of the sort on the forums. There's nothing preventing you from talking about anything as long as it is within reason, doesn't break any rules, and marked "NSFW" if necessary. If you're worried about "not offending the kiddies", then you should be mature enough to realize that what you want to talk about may not be appropriate here in the first place.

Otherwise if you wish to have a private conversation, you can do so either through private messages or outside of the forums.

It would require an unrealistic amount of monitoring for new quotes on the mods' part. And what sort of criteria would we use to choose? What if someone's really good at coming up with good quotes and other people never get a chance to have one? What if posting suddenly becomes a competition for who can come up with the best quote? I only see bad things coming from this.

Unless you meant quotes in general, like philosophical good-feel statements. In which case, the news banner is just fine.

Maybe we should add an "other" category to the gender selection? This way transgendered members have an option that actually fits them.

Quote from: Bloop on April 14, 2016, 11:46:19 AMIs it actually possible to change that gender icon above my avatar to something that's both male and female (something like this (http://www.signnetwork.com/decals/Decals/SYMBOLS/images/Symbol%20(108).jpg) or this (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/03/b4/c5/03b4c5c7034587c9c1d60ead290b1c14.jpg))?

I'm wondering if you could have something like this: you have the fill-in box option, but certain words would create equivalent icons. For example, if you type "Male" into the box, ♂ would appear on your profile. However, one negative of having a custom fill-in box is that someone could take advantage of the situation by typing something offensive or vulgar. I trust that most of the community would do no such thing; however, that is a risk that comes with customization. Perhaps just giving more than 2 options would suffice?

Because there are only two sexes that a human can have, as opposed to the many gender roles that exist.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Nebbles on April 16, 2016, 08:06:34 PM
Even if born with a biological sex (male or female) a human can identify as a myriad of different gender identities, so basically what Olimar said.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Bloop on April 16, 2016, 11:40:24 PM
But individuals with a different gender identity probably won't want to choose the sex they biologically are. Mtf transgenders will choose "Female", because they feel and mentally female, even though they may stil have a penis. Genderless people will probably choose neither male nor female, because they feel they are neither (I'm not saying that everyone on this forum without a gender is genderless). But I don't feel like I'm neither one of those: I'm both
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: braix on April 17, 2016, 12:14:27 AM
I mean I feel predominantly male but I also feel female so I'm not sure what I want, but I'm just going with female at least as far as pronouns go and I have my profile set to reflect this.
I probably wouldn't use it, but if there was something for androgynes that'd be pretty cool to see, though I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement such a setting.

Could we make a feature that you can "watch threads"?

We got "view unread posts" and "new replies on your posts", but I think there should be a third one where you have certain threads you feel are more important and which you can "watch". Maybe we could extend this to boards, for example I find it way more interesting if something happens on the submission boards rather than on the off topic board.

While Nintendo hasn't given any official abbreviations, I've seen "NS", and simply "Switch" thrown around online. So perhaps [NS]?

And while I'm on the subject, the request thread (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=1626.0) has yet to be updated with the abbreviations of some of the consoles on-site (Atari, 3DO, NeoGeo, etc.).

Post by: LeviR.star on September 08, 2017, 09:28:49 AM
Is the site currently set up that games on multiple consoles are only labeled as [MUL] if they were released for multiple consoles at the same time?

For example: an arcade game is released in 1985. A year later, it is ported to the NES. Over the years, it receives more and more ports. [ARCADE] or [MUL]? What if the arcade music is slightly different? What if I want to arrange the NES version, but it's only different in terms of tempo, harmonies, and key signature?

This has never made sense to me. Tetris is a notable on-site example. We have sheets for both the GB and NES versions, but that may only be because they have different soundtracks.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Zunawe on September 08, 2017, 11:02:12 AM
The general rule in my mind is that games that are clearly designed differently are different games, regardless of whether they have the same name and gameplay. All those versions of Tetris are then their own games. If they share a soundtrack, it's up to the song and discretion of the arrangers then to make different arrangements.

If the same game was intended to get a wide release on multiple systems, it gets a [MUL]. Metal Gear Solid V (multiple systems at once), Rocket League (ported to Xbox and then OS X/Linux after it gained popularity), and GTA V (intended release on PC was intentionally delayed 2 years after initial release), would fall under this category despite their differing types of releases.

Re-released, remastered, and remade games belong to their original console(s). None of the things on the Wii VC that were ported from previous systems deserve the [MUL] tag. Ocarina of Time has been remade and re-released too many times, but it will forever have the [N64] tag. Shadow of the Colossus, which was remade for the PS3 and is being remade again for the PS4 will only ever get the [PS2] tag.

There are a few other edge cases that might sneak by (e.g. Dark Souls was ported to PC after major success on console as a single package that had the DLC built in under the name Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition), but those rules seem to be relatively consistent from my experience.


Imagine yourself as a user. "I really want to play this Tetris music from the game I found on my Gameboy." Why should I be presented with NES sheets? Basically, different games are their own entity even if they have the same name. If you can call it a port, it probably doesn't need its own section.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: Yug_Guy on September 08, 2017, 02:20:00 PM
I definitely agree with everything Zunawe mentioned above, but there is one edge case I've thought about quite a bit that might need to be discussed:

While today the music between games ported to multiple systems are identical given that they're made using mp3 files, or wav files or what have you, back in the day this wasn't possible since consoles were made with different hardware that made it harder to port music to. While I could name quite a few examples of this, the consoles I want to highlight are from the 16-bit era - the SNES and the Genesis. It was fairly common for studios to port their games to both the SNES and Genesis, which included the music. However, the Genesis used more traditional chiptune chips as well as FM synthesis, while the SNES had a more sophisticated chip that could replicate real instruments, meaning that there would always be something lost in translation when porting songs from one to another.

To get an idea of what I'm talking about, take a listen to the same song on the Genesis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmsdWR9Gm5E), and on the SNES (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD3JsQAI3Qs). Even if the song is still the same, the instrumentation makes them sound wildly different.   

Now to be fair, I haven't really found any songs that have any major differences between it's multiple versions (including the song above), but what happens if we find a song/game that does? And how does this affect some of the games that we already have on site? I remember I originally put Bubsy 1 in the SNES section because that's what I used as the basis for my arrangement, but should that really go there because it was also released on the Genesis too? Or are the soundtracks different enough to where the SNES version should get it's own section? Should we keep Earthworm Jim in the Genesis version because that's what most people expect, or do we acknowledge that it was a multiplatform title? And I'm only talking about two specific consoles, don't get me started on arcade ports vs. home console ports, or heaven forbid early PC games. *shudders*

idk, maybe I'm just overthinking things, but I might as well put it out for folks to see & discuss.
Title: Re: The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: The Forum
Post by: LeviR.star on November 30, 2017, 08:14:03 AM
I don't know if this applies to everyone, given that the site layout can be customized, but while the "News" is a classic site feature, and a true contributor to NSM nostalgia, I feel it's beyond outdated.

Sure, several segments of news have been added somewhat recently, but they quickly become irrelevant, and many of the others have issues of their own --

The main problems
- "Are you on Discord? Join our server!" can be accessed by anyone that comes to the forums, whether they want to have anything to do with the site or not. It's probably the reason why we get unwanted members on NSM Discord
- "Introducing the new sorting feature on the front page! Sort through sheets alphabetically or chronologically!" -- now, I may not know exactly how old this feature is, but I do know that no one would call it "new" anymore
- "Found an issue in the Requests Board? Let Bubbles know!" -- I'm pretty sure Bubbles doesn't have the time nowadays to manage the Requests Board and doesn't need a bunch of PMs from newbies, and a lot newbies start with requesting, anyway
- "Welcome to the updating team, Seb and Insig!" is old news now, and with the way news is getting updated these days, it probably won't be removed any time soon
- the two .gifs that appear now and then have also gotten stale. Would it hurt to add something new?

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/tv59e99xuq7mm5x/e3%20swag.GIF?dl=1)

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/az9tnzmwmr74uqr/secret%20gif%202.gif?dl=1)  <-- I mean, c'mon, if we're keeping this, can we at least replace it with a "pixel-perfect" .gif instead?
[close]

... along with the fact that we have a very short number of segments, allowing for very little variety. I feel that if we don't have someone competent enough regularly updating the News, we might as well not have a news segment at all. Even so, come on, even if we did use it, no one would pay attention; all the news nowadays is looked for in the Site News Board and the Discord server! No one would be lost without it.

So, what should we do? Keep it exactly the way it is, keep it and actually update it regularly, or trash it?

Well, while I was initially arguing against keeping it, I can suggest a few ideas myself:

- adding and swapping out a few humorous new .gifs occasionally to keep things interesting
- a few seasonal greetings for holidays
- keep notices up as long as they stay relevant, i.e. up to a week
- reminders of upcoming release dates for hyped-up games
- a notice for when a member is leaving the site
- a weekly "arranging challenge" where you try to arrange a song of a certain category, like a certain franchise, or a beach level theme, or an extremely sad song. It's up to the arrangers if they want to participate
- a segment that introduces an active staff member, linked to their profile
- possibly some gaming trivia (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=9698.0), too!

Only a few ideas, but if someone could help chime in, we could make this new plan a reality!

Quote from: LeviR.star on November 30, 2017, 11:10:51 AM- adding and swapping out a few humorous new .gifs occasionally to keep things interesting
- a few seasonal greetings for holidays
- keep notices up as long as they stay relevant (but maybe longer than a week because a week is pretty short, all things considered)
- reminders of upcoming release dates for hyped-up games (although I don't know if many other people would like this, and a "hyped-up game" is pretty subjective)
but I wouldn't recommend adding these:
Quote from: LeviR.star on November 30, 2017, 11:10:51 AM- a notice for when a member is leaving the site (we've got a topic for this for a reason)
- a weekly "arranging challenge" where you try to arrange a song of a certain category, like a certain franchise, or a beach level theme, or an extremely sad song. It's up to the arrangers if they want to participate (this isn't exactly "news" and I wouldn't tout it as such. Also, weekly? On NSM? You make me laugh.)
- a segment that introduces an active staff member, linked to their profile (I don't think this is entirely necessary, and we have a "Staff" section on the main site already)
- possibly some gaming trivia (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=9698.0), too! (we've got a topic for this for a reason)

Neither did I. Sorry, Tras; I forgot that not all games see world-wide single-day releases. My apologies.

But yea, if we're going to update the "News" with segments regularly, they should only be relevant to the current time period, hence the "new"ness. Ones like "Interested in contributing to the site? Give the Arrangement Formatting Guidelines a good read!" would not apply.

I agree with Dudeman on his adding and no adding reasons.

Just some additional thoughts to add to Dudeman:

As he said, this isn't news, but rather a new idea under the umbrella of arranging. I wouldn't mind do something like this, but it would only be for fun (in other words, not put on the site). We have enough trouble keeping up with subs and projects as it is.

Quote from: LeviR.star on November 30, 2017, 11:10:51 AM- a segment that introduces an active staff member, linked to their profile
I mean, this is kind of done already by congratulating the new staff members and it's not like we have new staff regularly.

- "Are you on Discord? Join our server!" can be accessed by anyone that comes to the forums, whether they want to have anything to do with the site or not. It's probably the reason why we get unwanted members on NSM Discord
- "Introducing the new sorting feature on the front page! Sort through sheets alphabetically or chronologically!" -- now, I may not know exactly how old this feature is, but I do know that no one would call it "new" anymore
- "Found an issue in the Requests Board? Let Bubbles know!" -- I'm pretty sure Bubbles doesn't have the time nowadays to manage the Requests Board and doesn't need a bunch of PMs from newbies, and a lot newbies start with requesting, anyway
- "Welcome to the updating team, Seb and Insig!" is old news now, and with the way news is getting updated these days, it probably won't be removed any time soon
- the two .gifs that appear now and then have also gotten stale. Would it hurt to add something new?

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/az9tnzmwmr74uqr/secret%20gif%202.gif?dl=1)  <-- I mean, c'mon, if we're keeping this, can we at least replace it with a "pixel-perfect" .gif instead?
[close]

... along with the fact that we have a very short number of segments, allowing for very little variety. I feel that if we don't have someone competent enough regularly updating the News, we might as well not have a news segment at all. Even so, come on, even if we did use it, no one would pay attention; all the news nowadays is looked for in the Site News Board and the Discord server! No one would be lost without it.

So, what should we do? Keep it exactly the way it is, keep it and actually update it regularly, or trash it?

This seems so... unimportant.. Those are supposed to be just for fun, not some super serious thing that gets regular attention. I'd rather we focus on site updates that include sheets rather than those.

Olimar: I don't get this, but if you are saying that this message is the cause of your strife, you are very mistaken. For starters, the amount of members on Discord that aren't NSM members can be counted on one hand. Secondly, you referring to them as "unwanted" is rude, since you A) don't even know these people, and B) they don't make up a noticeable percentage of the activity there to be considered a nuisance.

- "Introducing the new sorting feature on the front page! Sort through sheets alphabetically or chronologically!" -- now, I may not know exactly how old this feature is, but I do know that no one would call it "new" anymore

Olimar: it might not be new as of the last few updates, but it still is technically a new thing considering how long it wasn't a thing. Also why is it an issue to have that here? One might not even know of this feature. It isn't hurting anyone.

- "Found an issue in the Requests Board? Let Bubbles know!" -- I'm pretty sure Bubbles doesn't have the time nowadays to manage the Requests Board and doesn't need a bunch of PMs from newbies, and a lot newbies start with requesting, anyway

Olimar: False. Regardless of how often she posts, she's still been doing a fine job of keeping the request board organized and regularly responds to PM's in a timely manner.

- "Welcome to the updating team, Seb and Insig!" is old news now, and with the way news is getting updated these days, it probably won't be removed any time soon

Olimar: these messages usually get replaced with the new staff additions. For example, that message replaced the "Welcome static" message, etc.

- the two .gifs that appear now and then have also gotten stale. Would it hurt to add something new?

Olimar: Maybe not, but eh.

Olimar: this one is actually optimized for the layout though, so no.

"Regular attention" -- this can be updated occasionally, right? It wouldn't take a lot of effort to maintain it, and it doesn't have to occur on a regular basis. Take our site updates, for example. We haven't had a regular update since the 25th of September, yet we still, somehow, had time for a Metroid 1-3 update, and a 39-sheet sheet Halloween update which many had no knowledge of until it was posted. It's just how we manage our time on what we, quote, "focus on". I mean, fun things can become stale so easily, but like Dudeman said, there could be over a week between times someone has to add some recent stuff and throw away yesterday's news. It doesn't sound hard.

I agree with Olimar that it's not important enough to spend a lot of time on. It's a throwaway feature in the corner of the forums.

Then, in that case, if no one is going to bother to maintain it, I for one say we get rid of it. It was mostly likely started with the someone's intent of regularly updating it anyway. Like Seb said, it makes the site look dead, and if you ask me, no one's really going to miss it. Bubbles probably won't

I don't think anyone "started" it, it's just part of the SMF package that the forums run on. And if someone intended to update it regularly, then they'd still be updating it regularly. Point is it's something we have, somebody said "fuck it, let's put some stuff in here" and we just kept it around. Nothing about it makes the SITE look dead because it's not on the site. Again, it's in the corner of the forums that not a lot of people know exist. Heck, somebody PM'd me the other day asking if I had a copy of a sheet that's dead in my PAT because they'd been waiting for it for YEARS and had no idea that the forums existed until just now. We can scrap it but there's really just as much point in scrapping it as keeping it around and sticking new/updated stuff in it every six months.


Ninja'd, Yug's right. There's something odd about how much attention you're giving this, Levi.

This I don't get. You do realize that the special updates are in lieu of submission updates, right? I mean we don't just get more hours in the day during these times. It's not a permanent thing, either. Occasionally we do focus updates instead of submission updates.

I partly take the blame for this since I get excited about updates that are out of the norm. I'm sorry that we haven't been focusing on submissions updates recently, but we plan on returning to submissions as soon as possible.

Wait, I thought msf was joking. I just figured he meant any trolls looking for a server to invade.

I'm terribly sorry, there has been a big misunderstanding. My apologies, Olimar. I'm either thinking of that one time someone joined and immediately left, or something that happened on the Kirby Wiki server. There's a Pikmin-based username there, too.

I didn't intend to look "worked up" about this. I just saw this as a casual, healthy debate where no one's getting upset; I intended to discuss the significance of the News and why no one wants to get rid of it. I'll admit that seeing the same messages over and over got on my nerves for a while, but now I've just gotten used to it. I wish not to anger anyone during these debates; that's never been a goal of mine.

If you guys want to keep it, that's entirely fine with me. Nostalgia is something special, especially on NSM, but whatever the reason is, I won't argue against it anymore. I hope we can leave this resolved with no ill feelings.

Random idea I had while editing a sub:
It'd be cool if there was a link in the NSM Panel that connected your sheet entry there to the page in Submissions. It isn't the most pressing thing to be addressed, but it'd be a bit easier to jump between to say "I fixed these things" after editing your sheet.

I don't even know if this is something feasible since I have -.5 EXP in programming of this nature, but maybe it is? :P
