Well I was going to post this on Monday, but it makes sense to post it now, then I can experiment with a few test posts over the next we days and see what works and what doesn't.
Ok the long and the short of it is, Vibes isn't going anywhere, it will remain open, if I decide to take a break then my m8 of over 50 years leeds will be back to keep an eye on it and post a few things as well. Concha is admin here with me and leeds will come back as admin, well think he is already admin.
The changes will be with my posts, and only my posts the other members are free to post whatever they wish in whatever fashion suits them, Vibes is not a dictatorship as a certain person claims.
So what is going to change, well I have already stopped sharing Flac and wav, which will remain the same.
Re posts from today Monday 16th November 2026, I will not re post anything unless I decide to re post something I have posted in the past. You can't request a re post of any pf my posts, but you can of any other member of Vibes team (check in the tags who made the post), which can now only be requested via email, the site email is on the right of the main page. 4vibessite(at)proton.me, just swap (at) with @
From today I will experiment with limited numbers of downloads on posts, requests for the links. Password protection and posting at a lower bit rate most likely 192, which is still good enough to listen to. Hidden links are staying, so learn how to find them, I will not tell you or give clues to the whereabouts on the post where they are hidden. If you can't find them, sorry that's your problem and not mine, try searching the net for a copy if you can't find the link. Even if they are password protected, the links will still be hidden. Sorry but this is how it's gonna be from now on. I posted the PJ Harvey at 192 with 20+ downloads, so I don't see posting albums at 192 is a problem. In end it will most likely that I post a mix of 320 and 192 posts.
I always have checked the bit rate of my 320 posts and only post all true 320, well from today that ends, I will post if it says on the files they are 320, they won't be checked, this is as every other blog on the net posts, they don't test the files, they post as is. They don't replace fake 320 they discover as they don't check. All of this is not important if in the end I stick to posts at 192. But that is still to be decided.
From time to time, I will whenever it suits me take a break and won't post for a couple of weeks or months, but leeds and Concha will make sure Vibes runs smoothly in my absence. I am connected to a few other music projects away from Vibes and need to spend time working on them. It's not important what.
After a week of trying new ways to post, what works for me and hopefully for you, i'll make another post, saying what the outcome of my test post have been and how I will continue to post here in the future. And once I decide on my selected method of posting and options for posts, there will only be one post per day from me in the future, there will be more while I experiment with the various posting options, there will be more.
I know your unable to comment, on this post, but your free to drop me an email to 4vibessite(at)proton.me, just swap (at) with @
But please bare in mind that this my site and I will post as I see fit, but feedback is always welcome.
The site home made comp Box Of Vibes will remain on the main page and will always be posted with a 320 link, but my own home made comps I am thinking about adding a page and with post them there in the future but maybe not we will see what happens.
