The show has been cancelled. Thanks for everyone who participated ... if you liked it you can continue to use it at Progfreak.com.


I've overstayed my welcome for far too long ... I've become an intolerable burden for this website, so I'll simply go and won't look back.

I changed the implementation a little bit ... you'll need five albums to make it to the page. The albums have to be from 2008 and the rating has to be at least 6 (on a scale from 0 to 10). This ensures that for each user exactly five albums are displayed, and only those with reasonably good ratings are shown.Smile

I can only think of 4.  I guess I'm disqualified.

^ EDIT: I must have been reading your mind ... but maybe the top list which I added to the left side inspires you!Big smile

I changed the implementation again ... you'll only need three albums to make it to the page. I also added the general top albums list to the page (using votes from all the users) on the left side, and reduced the level of detail in the per user lists. BTW: You can use the charts page to cast your votes:

http://progfreak.com/home/charts.xhtml?chart.year=2008

But I'll try to add the editor buttons to the other pages too, for your convenience.Smile


Any feedback is greatly appreciated ... even if you don't want to participate, I'd still be interested in why.Embarrassed

On the discography page the edit buttons should be in the list (rightmost column), and on each album page there should be a button in the "Info" box, right beneath the album rating.

I'll try to highlight the buttons better ... Smile

Now you can select more years ... or browse the general top lists without any restriction. Next up: filters which will enable you to narrow down by genre and/or prog status.Smile

Just about to go to bed ... but I've added three more filters: You can now narrow down per main genre and album type, and you can select year intervals in addition to single years.Smile

Another improvement: You can now rate albums directly on that page, in the album chart on the left. Smile

Yet another improvement: You can now specify how many albums to show per user, and how many albums are required per user. For example, you could choose to display the top 5 albums per user, and require that any user included in the list must have rated at least 10 albums. Or you could choose to display the top 10 albums per user and don't make any requirement at all.

Wow ... I knew that people don't like my website, but that they have to rub it in my face ... I must say that I feel like my heart is being ripped out and flushed down the toilet.Cry

Have you ever spent weeks in an selfless effort to provide something useful to people, and then they simply walk by without taking any notice?

BTW: Thanks to anyone who participates ... I really appreciate it. But what really puzzles me is that I'm getting the distinct feeling that most users here are simply ignoring my efforts no matter what.

^ thanks Chris ... @HughesJB4: Of course I realized that you weren't entirely serious.Smile


Here's something I don't understand: stonebeard's post was created yesterday, attracted about 100 views and 10 posts, 6 of which were people posting their top 10. My post was created much earlier, attracted about 170 views, but only three people posted their top albums (on my website).

@all you out there who hate my website: show yourselves! Please at least give me a chance to fix the things that you don't like ...
