This month will see the anniversary date of 10 years with Invelos (after 4 years for me with Intervocative). I take advantage of the event to give a score to the 10 most important points about my experience with DVDProfiler.

- 10/10 The plugins and tools developpers, who produced great tools to help to manage our collections.

- 9/10 The program, with all its local customization possibilities. Though it could be improved on some points, it is quite perfect to manage a collection of movies, provided however of entering consistent data.

- 9/10 Ken's reactivity during beta testing phases. Major bugs are generally quickly solved and beta programs can be rapidly used as main program (this is already the case for me with 9.5)

- 8/10 People sharing their headshots collections. The only grey point is about the impossibility to decide about a fake BY system allowing to share different actors with same name.

- 7/10 People who share their developments to help the use of the program (reports, layouts, translations...). Most are original and useful but some are just minor modifications of others' work.

- 4/10 The general atmosphere of the forum. We have many users who are always ready to help others and give useful advices, but also too many  unable to accept different opinions than their's. Not speaking of a few ones full of hatred, who treat others of nazis and/or play with their blocking lists. I love to see interesting feature requests in order to improve the program, and dislike the posts of users who do all they can to avoid any useful change. Bad faith in General Discussion Forum is also very annoying (I remember a very sad episode about a dramatic judicial case where heartless people said it was political to try to close the discussion).

- 2/10 Ken's presence on forum when a quick decision should be taken.

- 2/10 No mobile application for Windows phone. The Restifier plugin can be used but has many bugs and is no more maintained.

- 1/10 The online collection of data. Correct for cover scans and minor fields that are easy to fill, it is an incredible mess with most important fields (cast-crew) because thousands of actors/crew members have different unlinking names, and because obvious errors are blindly recopied. Totally impossible to use as a database, though the program is designed to work with a database.

- 0/10 Contribution rules. I never understood why Ken decided a "copy exactly as in credits/covers" philosophy that makes the database functions of the program (sorting, linking, filtering) totally unusable.

9 Years, 11 month... nearly there at ten years mark 

still loving the program!!!

Newbie! I passed 16 years in January.

I have my original Intervocative registration date as my tagline. Looks like almost 15.5 years for me. Wow, that's a long time!

My registration was on September 24, 2004.
