Latest ad: Band is The Caesars, song is Jerk It Out. It was mildly popular about five years ago, I think.

Site overhaul - issues here plz

Heya, if you have any questions or suggestions about the new site - especially if you're having problems posting to the forums - leave a comment.
The Band in the Bar

Really digging your blog entries. Keep it up!

Hello

Winged rats are still working, in spare periods between making cheese for The Man to fund their overindulgent lifestyle. Slow going sometimes.

Summarise

Winged rats reinstated comment summaries on forum index page and user profiles (under "Track")! Baby steps...

Lemme know if anything looks skewiff. Taking nominations for next priority.

where's all the old videos gone?

Sorry 'bout that. New video lovin' is in the pipelines tho- our little army of winged rats are working 24/7 to get some new stuff up.

Where's all the traffic?

Hey Mindvandal, really stoked that you're keen to participate. We've actually negotiated a major revamp, including pretty much everything you (and Jet in other posts) have suggested. Some point soon we'll need some friends-of-nzmusic.com who are interested in being editors & feature contributors, so I'll be in touch. (Jet, foal30, harsh bloke & christianity, you guys are on my mailing list too)

KFC NZ Music Month - Finger licking good

H-Bomb, how is this post irrelevant or offensive? Because christianity disagrees with you? Most of his/her comments appear to have been written in the spirit of honest debate, so harden up already.

can't seem to figure out why

immediate problem fixed, more better music now

Its been a long time:

welcome wayward son... ;)

Lyrical Lines that Just Don't Work

Er thats what I meant, yeah ;)

I was definitely not referring to Mrs Johns. I have not been a blithering fanboy since Neighbours days.

Lyrical Lines that Just Don't Work

Lyrics like that get you hot wives, apparently.

Lyrical Lines that Just Don't Work

It's a dangerous game, listening to lyrics...

Site Updates Today

Few updates happening around the place, as you may have noticed:

- Interface/layout changes are underway. Hope to have these knocked off tonight so things won't move around to much after that (until the next update that is).
- Most noticable things - Logo/Navigation strip. Removed ad zone from here.User Menu/Search at top of page. User icons are now 90x90 pixels, but will show at smaller sizes in some areas.
- Righthand sidebar is chnaging a bit - navigation being phased out of this area.
- Tag Clouds introduced. More to come.
- Main section titles are bit clearer/simpler. Hopefully.

Site Moved Server

Ok so after an uncomfortable few days during the week, we've got the site over on a much needed new server (for the second time in 4 days!). We've blown the equivalent of a few music video grants in the process ;)

Many people noticed the site slowing down to a crawl in the week or so previously - this was due to the site growing faster than expected and it put pressure on the old server it was on to deliver more than it could. The hosting company placed limits on the slow requests meaning lost of "Page Not Found" errors started appearing (very annoying!).

Anyways - it's now in a cluster dedicated server environment with ample room to grow. In theory it should be quite fast to use. That said as we are still building lots of new features, there may be moments where things slow down for certain features that haven't been performance tuned. As developments settle down we will performance tune everything into shape. All said, I don't think you'll notice any slow downs - hopefully!

And just to celebrate new servers, we've launched Private Messaging! Yay! It can be found in your personalised navigation menu on the right hand side of the site, called "Messages".

why does nzonair give more than one grant per artist?

Oh come on.... "neomuldoonesqe"? And I'm paranoid here? Wahahahaha

If you're really not trying to alienate me, then re-learn how to communicate. Apparently I speak "bollocks" like a propaganda'd up "zombie". Them's great words to win friends with.

I'm pretty sure even you can accept that it starts to smell a whole lot like an agenda when good ole christianity lays the NZonAir-debate-only-to-turn-on-Brendon forum trap.

Admittedly I regret posting a vaguely sympathetic response in the first place. Admittedly I prefer less ugly approaches, such as accepting the situation for what it is and then influencing some change (even here), instead of lighting the dog poo bag and leaving on the doorstep.

Good luck with your motif. I like you too, when you're not throwing poos.

I merely meant that choosing to attack some person directly, either personally or "professionally", is naive.

I don't disagree that much with what you have to say about NZonAir (and I stated my personal belief that its not my cup of tea) but if you choose to turn my comments into a reason to also alienate me then I think your basically a political child. Good luck with your agenda.

Brendon Smyth is an excellent person. I don't think there is any reason to attack him personally. It also undermines your point.
