Possible idea: renaming of the SFV/NFO/M3U Requests forum

Hi everyone,

So - does anybody think that it'd be a useful change to rename the current "SFV/NFO/M3U Requests" forum to "SFV/NFO/M3U/JPG Requests"? This would allow members to request images (primarily proof pictures) in addition to the standard M3U/NFO/SFV files that are included in all scene music releases.

Thanks!

I don't see such a need. It's obvious that in this section you can ask for all small files, including jpg, cue, log, txt, etc.

And if it's necessary to change the name of this section, then only just to: Small files REQs.

agreed... tho Small Files would probably be bit more confusing for beginners, but then again i dont think many beginner collectors are members here lol

maybe we could only change the description... and name slightly

SFV/NFO/M3U/etc Requests
For any SFV, NFO, M3U and other small file requests (CUE, JPG, etc) for Audio scene releases.

for example

Thank you both. :)

Ok - so for naming, how about "Audio Requests - Metadata"? This avoids the need to mention any file formats, but this could be clarified in the description.

It's really small stuff in the end. Is it really needed to make such a change to effect that detail? Most users usually just post links to srrdb anyway so those requests are either going to be filled based on whether they are available on srrdb or not.

That is a sensible idea, I can see how there might be a possibility of looking for exact files for releases, but couldn't people just request the whole release just the same? Not to sound like an ass but - sort of - kind of - seems like a large split being made for the purpose of making a destinction between something so small and insignificant will make a lop-sided imbalance of participation seen over the two sections if they be tried.
