I was scared of this happening after the "CBS in the guardian" thread.

Thanks for making life a little more bearable for the past years DJX.  I understand that this time it's for real; all the more respect.  I hope that your radio dreams come true some day.  I'll be waiting for the next launch...

Any informations on this thread? Apparentely I missed this discussion on cbs.nu ...

Re: "CBS in the Guardian" thread

Basically, it was a thread mentioning an article in the guardian that covered CBS..
http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/musi … 65,00.html

Bias replied with the current amount of listeners to the stream, being 43 at the time. (Too bad it wasn't 42)

Rdjx said that he didn't check the amount of listeners any longer cause if he did he felt like pulling the plug..

That was it, basically.

Re: "CBS in the Guardian" thread

At most it had a minor impact, this was a decision based on a long thought process.

edit; yeah.. it was really only a matter of time at any rate.

Hmm. Perhaps it's no coincidence that once it makes the Guardian, the CBS disappears. That seems like a Ferenc thing to do.

I too don't think it really had that much of an effect... Remember the 2007 shut down ? RDJX diagnostic was already established back then. I think we can be grateful for the extra year...

It's friggin' SUMMER! Who's sitting online indoors when sun is shining and you're on holidays?!

Re: "CBS in the Guardian" thread

Yeah, i agree it isnt exactly the season to determine listerners/popularity level...but like said it had ben cooking for a while. I can understand when the criteria is ever to expand, and it isnt happening, that the energy put it isnt determined to be worth it.

That guardian article does not make sense to me btw...why do these people have to write like that? Seems like they just wanted to cover up with vague, random facts for not knowing whats goin on. And why mention peter visti...even the most appreciated edit makers got slagged off at cbs...so why bring in some danish guy that noone knows? Maybe they meant flemming but just got things screwed up?

Edit: well, granted, the article was not specifically about the cbs but still...

Youre the one who wrote the article?

Re: "CBS in the Guardian" thread

no i'm not that stupid but i was stupid enough to get funny about how edits can be the coolest thing (which the reporter was saying)...

edit: anyway as BMX said i don't think djx would close cbs beacuase of just one bad topic let alone one bad post. he had his own reasons with all my respect. meantime i will continue to donate as usual until i get further info what will happen with all this.

How can you relate the article with the end of the CBS?

Re: "CBS in the Guardian" thread

anyone else sick and tired of Bias's inherent negativity and bleak aspect on the world? everytime i read a cbs post, he's always there bringin the whole place down to the point where i didn't want to contribute. maybe i missed the point, all i read from the above is Bias's name and the closeure of the cbs.

Re: "CBS in the Guardian" thread

@HAL, stop trying to find someone to blame already. cbs just didn't work, now we need to take care of the legacy and there's lot of steam going in the streaming thread who knows what it will bring. there are a lot of positive threads up. smile
