If no one takes notice to your idea, we could always start our own little rebel club in the audio forum where we could vote on our favorites of the week. That would make me happy, and who knows....maybe if gets attention, the club's top 5 could indirectly affect the ap's top 5.
You know what...never mind, that would never work. Your idea is better
hah, I know what you're saying. We could start our own little group of people who vote fairly on the most recent submissions. Become stronger than all of the people who vote badly for no reason. MWAHAHA. That would take alot of dedication and more than a few people to be something special.
I posted this topic in the audio forum instead of general because I figured it would attract the people who are engaged to making the audio portal better. I figured this type of post wouldn't get too much feedback in general. I would have thought that at least one of the mods would have commented something by now about what I posted.
My whole reason for starting this thread is jsut to throw out some ideas.
I have the idea to add "some kind" of mathematical equation. I'm not to great with math, but possibly one of you are. Or maybe, you have a whole other idea. *shrugs*
Share them. Let's try and build off of others ideas. We need to put our minds together. Something will work out.
Anyone great at formulating equations?
I suggested this idea in Ideas for Newgrounds Evolution with no response. I wanted to get some input on my idea. Here is what I suggested:
The problem of A-bots weekly favorites has been brought up inside of the Audio forums about a billion times. I would like to help formulate a fair weighted down voting system (that will only affect the score for A-BOT in deciding the weeks favorites).
With me so far? All right, please listen carefully, and please consider this. This is in no way perfected, only a direction:
Since A-Bot decides the favorites on a specific day, the total score of the audio submission will be increased for how many days go by until the next weekly favorites are chosen.
Short: The more days that go by, the higher the score will be weighed down (for A-Bot). This will add to the equation that a score kept at an average of 4.50 for a week is better than a score of around 4.50 that was just submitted, because more people have had a change to see it and listen to it. Is that rational?
Also, add to the equation how many people have voted on the song. For example, adding this along with the idea above in the equation would result (for example) a score of 4.17 voted by, say, 30 people higher than a score of 4.75 by 3. Now, this is in no way correct but this si what I would hope for the equation to accomplish somehow.
And possibly, only impliment this equation (allow for the weekly favorites) for submissions submitted within 8 days, instead of 7. Why? Because submissions that are submitted on a tuesday don't have a decent chance of getting a high enough score (with the equation in mind) to give it a fair chance. You may think that giving it 8 days to be viewed and rated would cause an ADVANTAGE, but the weight of the scores is what would really determine it, so the days would only have a slight change in score.
Another idea for this is to maybe exclude the 0's from having any affect on the audio being on the favorites. This would probably reduce the massive downrating of songs. And, if a song really does deserve a rating of 0, it will only effect the ACTUAL rating of the song ass seen on the charts and artist page. But, this is not exactly the best idea, it does have flaws flaws, but it does have elaborative value, I wnt to spawn some brain storming for you guys. I really want to see the audio portal grow.
Bottom Line: I think Any improvement on the A-Bots Weekly Favorites is an Improvement. The way that audio gets on A-Bot is too easy to manipulate.
Would this make things more fair? if the equation was weighted down correctly.
I wanted to write down the exact equation that you could implement....But I couldn't get started. Hopefully someone, good at math, could do this fairly easy, I wouldn't imagine this would take too much effort to implement on NG, maybe just a little bit of tweeking with A-bot, but I have no idea. I believe this to be in high demand, and it would ABOLISH the users who submit their audio and vote 5 on their own right before A-Bot selects the highest score...If done correctly.
Hopefully these few ideas for the equation will guide eveyone in the right direction for the voting system. I believe this would be a massive upgrade to the audio portal. I would love to hear input from you mods out there, if allowed.
What do you guys think?
What do you think of this as your theme song?
Sorry I havn't been on AIM. I've been rather busy. I apologize for commiting myself like that. I'm going to have to opt out. But here is a song that I made that's "not too happy or too dark" in my opinion. Feel free to do whatever with it.

It's so fun playing with other people.

That picture is of Stardust, an old WWF wrestler. When you said sevendust, that's what popped into my mind.
Now, time to blow shit up.

At first, I thought you were talking about this guy.
Yeah, I can get on AIM. Look for my screen name in my profile. I'll just stay connected all day.

Here you go man!
The mixing sounds terrible when listening to this on another computer, I don't know exactly why. It sounds a million times better on the few different speaker set-ups I used during recording.

I went to the E.M.P. last year and they had all these cool interactive D.J. displays and stuff. One was beat matching..and yeah, it takes some practice.
I always wanted to scratch....It looks like so much fun.
Under "tutorials and help" there is a link titled "Audio tutorials." This seems a bit too general. You should add " - Music Theory, Mixing & Recording Tutorials, etc." or something. I was about to suggest adding some mixing information before looking into the links you provided.
Mad props to you man. I really appreciate all of your time that you provide in making things easier.
How's everybody doing? Me, I'm doing great. I got my G.E.D. and I'm off to Audio Production at The Art Institute of Seattle.
I'm REALLY behind on giving out some good reviews to everyone, I hope to do so in my free time. This place hasn't been visted in a while and thought I would bump it up a little bit by letting you guys know that I came out with some new material...Just click my signiture.
For anyone who has posted in here, you got a good chance at getting a couple reviews by me in the near future.

For the audio portal:

Any progress on the frontpage or is this still low in priorities?

Yo, No offense, but I wouldnt wanna make some rap for a pre-pubescent rapper.
Remember People... Music is a lot like Candy...In either case you should throw away the rappers...
What about that Chinese candy that comes in edible rice paper?
You should add the song that plays for Samus's stage.
There's some stuff I've made for fun on newgrounds. If I were to make a theme song I'd like you to kind of give me direction on it.
There's also JetAudio, which is a pretty cool MP3 Player that comes with a broadcast thing-a-mah-bob called JetStream. It's pretty easy to use and you can do it anytime. users select your streama s they would a radio station.
I'd be willing to spend some time on making a theme song for you. The only thing is is that you probably wouldn't like it. You'd have to tell me what to do and how you want it.

Getting your GED is easy as hell.
That will give you an idea of what God is.
I think everyone has the wrong iea about God. peole see him as this person up in the sky when God is simply the definition given for creation itself. This whole existence is simply a play of reactions.
One time I jerked off in a water bottle and forgot about it. The next day the room smelt like ass.

Think about it....This all started because I didn't what Quebecers were. That's hilarious.
Audio cannot be blammed in the audio portal.
