| | Posted: | | | | Just curious
As a newcomer I have noticed that at least in my case there are not that many heavy contributors to teh online database. It seems like there is a core set of people that do 90% of the work.
Now my exposure is limited since for the most part I only purchase blu-ray now and I import very few releases. So I am justcurious how many heavy contriutors are out there. |

| | Posted: | | | | One area I'd like to see from the database ( that only Ken can see) is the amount of ownership to a particular profiled title..
[case in point-] I contribute minor change to a major title(s) such as the six titles of the Star Wars Franchise and volume 1,2, 4,5,6 all have votes in the 29 to 35 range .. yet my volume 3 only has two .. why? .. because of the locality of the title ..
I'd like to see ( one day) where the accepted yes votes can branch over to other locality's .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

I believe that only Ken can answer that. I know he has immediate access to that What was inteneded is finding what other people see and if they feel they do a lot of contributions. This could be helpful for people like myself that are new to the community as a source of people they could PM for assistance. | | | | Last edited: by Scooter1836 |

| | Posted: | | | | no way to say for sure Terry... but it could be that your vol. 3 is one that has a less used UPC that just isn't out there as much.
As was said... only Ken can say how many heavy contributors is out there... but I will say I see a good amount of different contributors on the titles I own. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | When scanning through the pending updates it's usually the same names that show up.
Luckily we in Germany seem to have a living contributing community. Means: The main-contributors are not the same as they were three years ago. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | I'd say it strongly depends on the Locality of the release in question who's contributing and how large the group of contributors is. |

| | Posted: | | | | I used to contribute regularly, but then a few users...The Movieman is the main one...started getting the jump on me. Just when I was ready to contirubte a new release, he would beat me to it. Mind you, I am not complaining as his work is quite good and it saves me time, I just like to give him his due when ever I get a chance as he makes my life a ton easier. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

You could always send a pm to someone and ask if they would assist you. But, the forums are generally a great place to get advice from. |

| | Posted: | | | | Used to contribute a lot but now I mostly do minor tweaks and fixes and the occasional cover scan. And while I don't buy any new releases at the moment there are still hundreds of old titles in my collection that needs to be fixed. Guess I'll have time for those when I retire in 20+ years... Actually, I think I'll wait for a cast and crew data system for movies instead of profiles since the whole process seems pointless with the current system. Why should I bother fixing something that most owners of the same film will never see because they happen to own another edition or re-release or locality? The redundant work we have to do is staggering. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 | | | | Last edited: by Nexus the Sixth |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't contribute much, but that is mainly because my taste in movies is rather mainstream and almost all the DVDs I buy are already in the Database. |
