The next queue clearing event should be the last one.

Why do you think it should be the last one?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

because the goal would be to only accept enough files as we need. but, i don't necessarily agree with that. events are good for the community.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Well if you liberally have that many queue-clearing events, then FFR would be filled with a countless number of songs (and we're already reaching song #1000). Then the empty queue would be a reason to fill it up again and have another queu-clearing event soon after.
I make simfiles partly for some recognition, and if a lot of songs are released in a short period of time, most of that recognition is lost because of the sheer number of simfiles. Also, some people do not like having to play so many songs at one time; they would have to do some "catching up" on all of the songs they missed.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

It's because we won't reopen the regular batch until the queue gets almost empty.

and yea events are fine, we just need to open a special batch if needed.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

this summer's event is 50 songs. *shrugs*. the last major event we ran was for Christmas... 70 songs in 7 days. Before that, there was the ST events last summer. That's about it. Twice last year, this summer will be the 1st this year.

There was also the FMO/FGO event... but that was only ~15 songs, whereas the others I've mentioned are all 50+. There was also the Easy ST event, but I kinda lumped that in with the normal ST event. Since they were July and then August of 07.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

The number of files in s-token and subscriber's event was 50+ just because of the amount of files in the queue.. and the number of files in the event isn't always related to the quality of the event.

The concept of this summer's event is far better than those ones I guess, though.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

this summer's event is quite epic.

Nice. I'm going to see if I can finally get The Outlaws to give us permission. Green grass and high tides here we come!

I can think of a lot worse things than having too many songs to play.

I personally like the queue-clearing events. It's a good excuse to get back to FFR and see what different artists are doing with their time stepping songs. Events also bring the community together, since a lot of people who don't frequent FFR will get on and check things out.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

IMO, files should be released faster than 1-2 songs a week, instead of a trickle with spurts of queue-releasing events. I don't really care too much, though.
