Happy Belated Birthday to Maria!
Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm coming out of lurking to say that my barbershop chorus, the Toronto Northern Lights, is preparing for the annual international barbershop competition in July. It's held in a different city each year, usually in the States, and this year, it's going to be in my hometown of Toronto!
In honour of the occasion, we made this promotional video! (You can see me, briefly, in the background of a couple of the shots)
If you're confused by the video, I should explain that it's a parody of a video released by another chorus in the competition. Hopefully, with this context, it's even funnier.

Am I the only one who no longer gets mail notifications when there are new posts?

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
I've never received notifications; I just drop by from time to time... and lurk.

Strange, probably Surftown has changed some server settings or something...Pater Alf wrote:Am I the only one who no longer gets mail notifications when there are new posts?

Unfortunately, the people who most need to see that message won't receive notification about it.jayenkai wrote:Keep visiting, people!!!
Right now, I'm on my way downtown for the international barbershop music convention. I've been going to these things for 11 years now, but never in my home city. This is going to be surreal!

Hmm... I just mass e-mailed myself from phpbb's admin section and that came through. No idea where the emails are getting lost.

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
I'm performing in the barbershop competition tonight. Don't wish me luck, because that's bad luck!

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
Don't worry, I'm not planning to leave. unfortunately I don't have as much free time as I had some months ago. Also my gaming focus changed from freeware games to commercial games again (blame GOG and some of the indie bundles for that), so I don't write so much in the freeware section anymore. But I hope to become more active again.jayenkai wrote:Keep visiting, people!!!
With just a few active members left and hardly any game hunters, maybe we should discuss how to change the rules to still make it possible to add games to the database?

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
Sounds like a plan, but don't do anything that's too open.
I like that the official database is a nicely curated collection, as opposed to anything-goes.
The worst that could happen, IMO, is to end up with a database where anyone can throw any old junk into the thing. Hell, imagine if I could simply fling AGameAWeek on here.. You'd end up with the site being rebranded "Curly's World of Utter Crap" within just a couple of months!!

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
Yes, you are right. A database were everybody could upload everything, wouldn't be good. Was thinking more about the possibility that crew members could say which game they want to add and if nobody gives a veto within 10 days it can be added. Would probably still stay a hand-picked quality database that way, but we could skip the validation process that needs at least three game hunters that played and rated each game.

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
Aye, that sounds more Curly!
Re: The little Inn by the wayside
I'm afraid I'm too ignorant of the current CWF process for acquiring games to comment.
In other news, the barbershop convention is over now. I've been saying for years that the barbershop competition isn't all about the medals and I still stand by that, but that being said... We won! We won! Wheeee! Hahahahaha! I still can't believe it happened! It was a fun and exhilerating experience and I'm not exactly looking forward to returning to "real life" after that.

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
Congratulations, Tormuse!
I really feel great today. Had a a fun day with lots of sportive activities. Did 30km cycling, 2 hours diving and 13km running.
Think I deserve a weekend beer now.

Re: The little Inn by the wayside
I don't even have an opinion any longer. I know we don't all have the same standards for "quality", but any new additions ought to be better than none.Pater Alf wrote:Yes, you are right.
