Failscene Radio

[AWS]

Thanks to Tyler for suggesting this idea.

 

Failscene will be opening a radio some time in the future, hopefully this month. I'm planning to create a brand new homepage for Failscene too or just put the radio player on the forum but I'm not sure. Vote in the poll please!

 

I'll also need your help to donate either by sms or paypal to help us fund the radio, it only costs ?1!

 

Thanks

[Tyler]

YAY.

 

Yeah make a FailScene Homepage

[Steve]

Cant fucking wait.

[AWS]

Poll is now up.

We need a site, aswell as a forum to be honest. The radio player needs to go somewhere that is available to all, such as the header or footer, so that it can always be listened to. If you're against doing this, then just make a new homepage.

 

And the idea was no problem. ;D

[Steve]

I'd prefer it intergrated with the forum, but thats my opinion.

[AWS]

So if we were to make a new homepage you want the radio to be on the homepage and integrated to the forum as well? We could do that if we get enough votes for the homepage.

[Tyler]

I mean, what would we do with the site though? We're a general forum. Things would be much easier if we had a niche. It'd probably just be best to keep it to the forum.

I'd prefer it if the radio didn't appear on the forums, you should give users the option to display the radio on the forums or not. I always play my own music, and I don't always have a great bandwidth so adding the radio would make it harder for me to preview the forums

 

If there was a good DJ on that played good music then i wouldn't mind as mooch :)

 

But yeah, this sounds like an awesome idea! I'd be willing to do some DJing for you kids ;D

 

Uncy Matty show XDXDXD

Theres only around 20 active members too, so adding a radio would be tough at the current time.

[AWS]

There's more than 20 active members lol

[TehByte]

@Duke lmfao ;D I rawk

 

Even if there's 20 active members, thats 20 people viewing you can get a basic radio to have a max of 50 listeners... 20/50 is quite a lot of listeners to start out with XD

[Tyler]

I know, but we need DJs and we want to be DJing round the clock, thanks to the bitch we call timezones.

[TehByte]

Indeed, we should have some form of status on the forums saying wether the radio is online/offline then get an auto-DJ to connect when the radio doesn't have an external connection ;D

[Tyler]

Pfft Timezones. I'm awake 24/7 :)

[Tyler]

For the radio to be worthwhile, we want to be getting around a minimum of 10 listeners the whole day, to start off with that is.

[TehByte]

CAUSE U R SPARTA DUKE XD

I can DJ quite a bit when I'm sat at home doing nothing, set up duel display and I'm sorted to control a radio for like 3 hour intervals XD

[Tyler]

Yeah, I've spent the day on the laptop, it's fairly easy.

[TehByte]

Your shows never over until you start repeating songs ;D

[Tyler]

I mean, look at the BBC DJ's. They go for like 4/5 hours at a time.

[TehByte]

Yeah, and they're called professional DJs Tyler, they have millions of music tracks :')

 

On a PC we probably have like 800? XD

[AWS]

If there are empty slots in the timetable then a DJ can go on and DJ if they wish.

[Tyler]

I don't even have that, but if we get enough listeners in, we can get enough requests, which means time!, to download of course.

I have my sources.

Only problem is, this then causes confusion for when DJs are coming on/going of; as long as they stick to the time table it should be fine.. Just in my experience of online radios it messes everything up
