Why?  Because it all sounds so childish and petty.  That may not be how you meant it, but that is how it is coming across. 

It was never my intention, in 1 and half year I have mention it maximum 3 times. My first post was a reaction to the adult/pornography amalgame that I dislike. For the rest I've just taken the first comment by Berak as a personnal attack (I don't think that I was necessary the target) since I've just made a post before the contributing comment.

I understand that it could be annoying, so don't worry no mention of this in the future.

P.S : Berak, I know that you do a great job with your contribution. So it's the time to smoke the peace pipe and share our hands, we are all in the DVDP familly no 



Absolutely AESP! I did not mean for it to be personally directed at you, but can see how it got interpreted that way. Peace-pipe sounds excellent...

In my honest opinion, when you decide not to contribute anymore, you might also consider not to "contribute" in the forums quite as much? After all - the forums are for discussing DVDProfiler, and DVDProfiler is a user-built database, no? If you do not contribute data (which quite frankly is all that matters), why on earth would contributing users heed your suggestions or wishes?


This is your point of view. Contribution is a very very small part of the interest of dvdprofiler, since data that may be contributed are, for some users, really what they don't want. Local use is by far the most important for some users, and there is only one forum that is about contributing. All other forums are interesting for local use.

BTW no, DVDprofiler is not a user-built database. It's a program to profile movies on DVDs with the possibility to use, if you want, a user-built database.


I don't even know how to respond to this ludicrous comment.  (bold by me)

I want to start by apologizing to the group especially addicted.  I started an argument I did not need to.  Naming the genres I did was simply an example of how I believed things were getting out of hand.  I was not judging anyone and anyone who feels that I was I am sorry.

Why bold the first part of the quote, as if the second didn't exist. If you think that dvdprofiler is not a program to profile movies on dvd, I think you are wrong. And if you don't have noticed that you may use it without using the online database, I think you missed something...

And perhaps if you don't know how to respond to this comment, it might be because it's not so ludicrous...

No problem... there was no need to apologize in my eyes. I just wanted to be sure you understood I wasn't asking for those to be added to genre. Just a reason why I think we need more room for our custom genres on the profiles.

Surfeur, as you would probably know DVDProfiler ist the frontend (means: user interface) to a database. This database doesn't come from nowhere it is, wether you use the online database or parse the data on your own always a "user-generated" database. Simply because there is no possibility to import data directly from a third party.
Denying this is, as Berak mentionend, ludicrous.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I regret that you tranform one's thought by reading only part of answers and take conclusions that only fit with the bad perception you have of the poster.

I summarize :

Berak : non contributors should not post in forums, as contribution is the only real purpose of dvdprofiler which is a user-built database (for me, user-built made reference to online, as Berak was speaking of contributions)

Surfeur51 : dvdprofiler is mainly a program, that can be used in local, without using the user-built online database, so Berak has no right to forbid the use of the forums to non contributors.

Goblinsdoitall : a local database is user-built, so Surfeur's opinion is ludicrous...

Well, if you want. I really regret that hatred is so much present here.

Have anyway a good afternoon

Although I doubt that there are many users who do it that way, it is entirely possible to not use the online database at all & only add manual profiles.

I never said or meant that you are ludicrous, just your opinion that the DVDProfiler database (local or online) isn't user generated seems to be a bit off the road.

I have no bad perception whatsoever of you, it's just that your view sometimes extremely differs from mine. But there are no hard feelings for that, on the contrary, I welcome a good discussion.
What is not welcome are personal attacks of any kind.

I don't believe any of us hate you, I know I don't. I can't speak for you. I think a lot of us find you to hysterically funny...not always in a good way and that makes me personally sad.
