I have talked with OWA and bmah. They are leaving the site soon. bmah said it very elegantly: "like I feel bad that there's less people to look after the site but the amount of time and energy required to pass on the torch is just not worth my time" For what it's worth, I am in the same position. (I don't think I was the "right people" for some of the things I've wound up doing in the first place) God bless the work ethic of people such as Dossar, Silvuh, and everyone else who has stuck it out. But the community is shrinking and chances of the right person just happening to volunteer is diminishing. I have the past year+ of the site slowly collapsing (if you want a metric, go by concurrent users) and countless threads complaining about the site's administration to back my point of view up. I've seen what it looks like when web communities die. This community is dying. Someone needs to be appointed to step in and forcibly MANAGE the site. I proposed doing this with money; if you have some other way of doing it, do it fast. Good luck.

Re: What's happening in here?
I actually wrote a long thought out post due to frustration at a few of synth's responses. And deleted it so I wouldn't show my ass to the whole community.
I just hope EVERYONE understands that drastic changes are needed, and they're needed now. Things are going down hill every day.....

Re: What's happening in here?
I'll step up for Noname (my brother) to say he's done tremendous work handling and gathering song and in-game data information (corrections, permissions, wiki etc.) but have felt no impact for doing so since the start. I've personally dropped in to help when I could even though it's hard to keep up with him and generally felt the same. A handful (bmah, prawn, hi19, goldstinger, eze) were also keen to help push the thing forward. The wiki was built basically to showcase the changes that could be implemented. It's basically ghost-maintenance and kind of a statement to our involvement and interest with the site.

There isn't anything wrong with suggestions on how to improve the batch. However, I see no direction given in this post. I've discussed with Silvuh the idea of having weekly updates on Sunday at 10 PM EST about the progress of the batch, and the new Sprint structure will allow the GMs to see what is currently assigned to the Judgment Team and the remaining tasks to do. We also have a much better idea on which judges are actually active.

Second, we can track file submission, do bookkeeping, and monitor permissions without having this whole in-depth analysis about whether a song is good or not. Similar to osu, just let the community deal with giving songs ratings and identifying issues. The most useful thing I think we get out of the batch is a difficulty rating. Keep in mind that of course I would think the difficulty is most important because I'm a developer who's main concern is game mechanics.

Difficulty ratings come from OWA playing the file once while taking a dump and coming up with a ballpark number. I wish I was joking.

Re: What's happening in here?
Trumpet, man, the more I learn about this site, the less confident I am that it will be there tomorrow.
I wish I had the heart to explain how utterly laughable FFR's legal standing is. The amount of ways and number of people who could sue this site or forcibly get content removed is astronomical. God damn. A lot of things can and should be automated in FFR's workflow. But who is going to do it?

Re: What's happening in here?
[hugs] Don't worry, man, you can take the community out of FFR, but you can never take FFR out of the community.

Submission tracking doesn't have anything to do with the content of the files themselves, so I don't see what the point is here. I never said the actual content of the files was related to monitoring permissions or bookkeeping. The judgment process is what determines what gets put into the queue of files to release, and conditional queue is used for fixing files that have potential to be ingame. |

Re: What's happening in here?
To my knowledge this is partially true.

Re: What's happening in here?
The Queue is the list of accepted files, and the Conditional Queue is a subset of the Queue which contains the files that need additional fixing before getting ingame. The Batch is both the Queue and submitted files for the bi-monthly periods.
Essentially you can think of the Queue as the accepted files, and the Batch is a way to move submitted files to the Queue or have the files be submitted to another period to be rejudged.

Re: What's happening in here?
Yes, judgment is the process involved in moving submitted files to the Queue after a batch period closes.

Re: What's happening in here?
Then, yes, I think judgement should be removed, therefore making the batch mostly pointless. Thank you for clarifying.

Re: What's happening in here?
uh
you've got it backwards i think, you'd remove the batch and just have files judged i would think removing judgement is akin to saying accept every file into the game i think |

Re: What's happening in here?
Removing judgment means there isn't a batch. Like YoshL said, it would literally just be submit and put into the game.
