Please would all visitors to Vibes please take the time to read this, many thanks !!
* This post was first posted in August 2025, but it seems people read what they want and take no notice, this is why I have re posted it again today. I will add a text post to the right side of the site, when I have the time about Re Up's. *
* A few days ago someone requested a re up of the second cd in a two cd set, there was no name, the comment was anonymous. Anyway I looked at the post and saw it was not my post, but another member of the Vibes team (who is temporally without access to a working computer). So I checked my folder and didn't have a copy, I know another team member downloaded a copy, but as they are away on vacations at the moment, didn't want to ask them to upload it.
Well it turned out I had a 320 version, the original post was in 256. So I uploaded it, but spent my time looking for it and uploading it and then sharing it on the post. And who ever request it, has not even downloaded it!! Why do people do this? Please don't request a re up, if you have no plans to return and collect a copy. Well the link will stay on the post until Monday, if nobody returns, the new link will be deleted from the post and it won't be added again, unless it requested by someone who makes many comments here and adds a name to their comments or it's someone I know!! And they were getting an upgrade from 256 to 320, go figure.
Well I deleted the new link yesterday, was just a total waste of my time!!
Each member is responsible to re up the links for their posts, and as that team member, is unable to do it at this time, I thought I would try to sort it, just for someone not to collect it! Can't have wanted it very badly, or just messing about, who knows!
I have no problem sharing another link for any thing I have shared on Vibes, apart from the Flac I share here, but I have had a rethink about that as well, if someone I know or someone who adds a name to their comments (and has made many comments here) Then I will send them a copy, if they add their email address in the comment, which we won't publish, I will upload it and email them a new link, but the link won't be published on the post. I only keep Flac files of Reggae or Soul, any other genre is converted into 320 and I keep that.
We have also been getting a few nasty comments submitted to the site once again, but as all comments have to be approved, they don't appear unless I publish them, I was thinking about changing it back to automatic posting, but the system works and stops the internet idiots from posting shite in the comments.
One thing is would be great if your posting an anonymous comment if you could be so kind to add a name or nickname to the comment, then we have an idea who we are getting the comment from and if you require a Flac update it could mean the difference between you getting a copy via email or not *
* Well have been thinking about the whole re up of albums I share, other Vibes team members are free to do their own thing, either re up or not. But I feel three months is long enough to collect something that has been shared in 320 or Flac. To that end in the future I will not re up any of my posts in Flac or 320. But if I know you or you comment regularly on the site (with a name on your comment), then drop a comment in on the post in question together with your email address (which won't be published on the site) and I will email you a new download link. This offer as I say is only for people I know or regular commentors, who add a name to their comments. Or you can request a re up via an email to the site email, which is on the "About This Site", top post on the right. *
* 4vibessite(at)proton.me is the Vibes email address just remove (at) and add @. Posting it as we do, it stops spam!! *

ReplyDeleteI see Zerosounds blog posts re-ups as "new" posts. I think it saves time, and just goes with the flow. When you re-up a link at the n-th day of some-tember years ago, only one person might see it. If they have not yet found it elsewhere or lost interest, or look next month.... When you re-post the item as new post everybody sees it. Add re-post to the title, job done. Saves a lot of annoyance.
ReplyDeleteRe-posts are (for me) just like any request. I never know when you get the time to do. BTW Thank you for fullfilling my requests. Hope for more, but already very happy.
Thanks for your input Richard. But I won't be re upping any links in the future that's for sure, unless they have commented with a name or I know the person. Three months is more than long enough. Don't want to spend time re upping when I can be sharing new stuff. I am busy this week but next week will add a text post to the right hand side about re ups. Just don't have the time this week. Have sent an email to team members asking if they will or won't re up their links, so when I make this post, I can say I won't but others will or we all won't.
