IFM on the brink of starvation (Page 5 of 6)

A side blog, or more prominent "daily stuggle / behind the scene" infos on the font page. Both would work.

Basically the front page went from almost not being a radio station (CBS days) to the other extreme: being nothing else but a way to tune in to the stream. I know it's a difficult balance to strike, but I think a rework of the news/blog section (give it more space) could help a lot. That and a way to give feedback & appreciation for each show. Chat doesn't work - different time zones, reruns, recorded shows, basically chat is useless for everything except for live.

-- Anyway, live Donate-o-la was great, everything seem to be on track... cheers!

ralphi rosario - you used to hold me

come on!

oops yes, i actually have this one

+1

Ok some way's are defenitely there, some are just not that transparent to a non-involved user. Okay the upload tool I missed out, overlooked that so far -  for shows, well I mean it could also be that the ifmx feels that there are more than enough any addition is unnecessary - I just wouldn't know since I'm not involved.
For me I think the best would be if there's instead of just the upload tool, a button that says

'contribute' > Tracks
                  > Shows
                  > General Suggestions/Idea's

and in the last tab I could post down stuff like this now, and over the course of several days or weeks everbody could give a comment or idea on this, which is something far more effective than sending a mail where the idea arrives only at a very few person's, or a chat where everything written is gone after I log out.

Or stuff like "Hey why not make a ifm desktop player, I could imagine it looking like this..." and someone else a few day's later "hmm i know some stuff about coding, i could think this...".
I'm not keen on having a forum again either, but stuff like that would be very cool.

edit: I know there is already a player, just took the example as a way on expanding the whole thing.

...

ah, it's hidden behind the membership stuff

Click on "stuff" on the left side of the page and then click on the gamepic

i was expecting that maybe he coded it hardcore style in the assembly language for the c64 CPU, but if i remember it's made using some game editor with its own language or something? (or maybe that was for the forest of loom game?)

Nah, you can't make a text adventure with SEUCK

Thanks .. Heh, quite nice, I like the intro! Some mad programming skillz!!!11 Btw. I could get the key in the first room even if the drawer was not open and I could give the wallet to the guy even if i didn't pick up any wallet .. I didn't play it very far though, it became a bit frustrating since you couldn't type 'look' to get the description of the place again (like in usual text adventures) if you didn't see it anymore on your screen... Yeah, I guess I'm just spoiled by modern games
