Asdfp277

JustJoe.
03.17.18 | *summons macman*
I don't think I have that kind of power, so we'll see what happens. |
bgillesp
03.17.18 | Awesome! Gonna add a band to the DB as soon as I get back on wifi with my computer. On mobile now. |
TheSpaceMan
03.17.18 | Fuck yea, we the big leagues now. thanks for the effort you've put into the database man. And the mods too |

03.17.18 | Cool stuff
That title made me think this was a Darius list commemorating his 100,000 comments. That guy really shitposts a lot.
Come on birb, get those 100,000 comments before the end of the year >:] |
Asdfp277
03.17.18 | lol @ sandwich
y'all: feel free to add any artists the db might be missing, it's of great help! >:] |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | adding digs |
bgillesp
03.18.18 | Gonna add some Spanish Blues to the DB. We're good on Bandcamp artists getting in but foreign artists (mainly non-English speaking) are where we need the most work |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | most of the artists i've added are non-english speakers too lol, we're definitely lacking in that regard |
bgillesp
03.18.18 | Well thanks for that then! I love finding Spanish speaking artists but they're only in the DB half the time. I've added a bunch of albums to those too |
Frippertronics
03.18.18 | hot damn |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | heck darn
thrust!: i googled nola and only found a spanish brass band, want me to add them or is it another artist? |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | ahh lol i figured |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | thanks for the feature fripp!! >:] |
Relinquished
03.18.18 | I’ve been adding hella electronic records so I helped too, just not for this occasion lol |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | added you to the entry, you've helped a lot when it comes to electronic albums after the gap that deviant left! |
Relinquished
03.18.18 | thnx asdfp that’s exactly why I started the effort tbh |
macman76
03.18.18 | I can do the actual artist count based on the alphabetic sorted band index pages... later
lol @sandwich |
JustJoe.
03.18.18 | It worked. He is summoned. |
RippingCorpse1986
03.18.18 | Just noticed this on the main page
''Happy 100,000!! by Darius''
Hahaha |

RippingCorpse1986
03.18.18 | Just added Nemecic to the database. They're the band N°100061 right now. |
someguest
03.18.18 | the real trick is keeping the server up |
someguest
03.18.18 | hopefully the database isn't built on a thread
something tells me it probably is though |
Asdfp277
03.18.18 | we're also close to 280,000 albums ! |
macman76
03.18.18 | alrighty, here is code to get the count of active band pages in the database
https://gist.github.com/mac7678/7f5aba30b5fb5cca4427a8440aa81905
and here is a plot of the success rate of our database entries:
https://imgur.com/gallery/PqBD9
So the count of band pages is 94,137 band pages, but that might be less than there actually are. The bandpage indexes are limited to bands that start with a to z alphabetic characters and 0 to 9 numbers (as far as i know). It's possible that bands with mandarin or japanese characters are not stored on these pages which would explain why there appear to be a lot less successes in the most recent database entries. |
Asdfp277
03.19.18 | someguest you jinked it >:[ |
Asdfp277
03.19.18 | fun fact: the huge drop @ ~37500 is because of a spam attack that added entries to an online store as bands, and were promptly deleted :0 |
macman76
03.19.18 | Any guesses as to why there’s a weird success rate after 75000? |
DoofusWainwright
03.19.18 | Just checked and I’ve added about two hundred albums here, bit surprised, they all add up |
Asdfp277
03.19.18 | macman: no idea, can't even access the imgur gallery anymore lmao |
TheSonomaDude
03.19.18 | damn, 37500 spam pages? how the fuck does someone have the time to make that |
Artuma
03.19.18 | most of them are yak's bedroom emo bands, wouldn't really brag about it |
Asdfp277
03.19.18 | @sonoma: no dude, there's a drop in actual bands around band-id=~37500, not 37500 spam pages
they were made using a computer program too, i'd bet |
macman76
03.19.18 | Oh sorry, the image is public again, I thought having the link let you see it in private mode |
Asdfp277
03.19.18 | maybe @ ~75000 the ampersand glitch started taking place, it's been a huge cause for deleted artist pages |
macman76
03.19.18 | Musicians need to stop collaborating if you ask me lol |
Asdfp277
03.19.18 | splits are on fucking thin ice |
Divaman
03.20.18 | Nice to see. Thanks for pointing it out, Asdfp. |
Sowing
03.20.18 | I'm sure this has nothing to do with the server overload issues. |
macman76
03.20.18 | Ah yes, the double/triple/etc. posting
Also explains why it has mellowed down recently |
Asdfp277
04.13.18 | update: just reached 95000 actual bands, approx. |
Asdfp277
04.13.18 | if only i could get a hold of the full rym artists list, this number would exponentially grow lmao
too lazy to code it tho |
macman76
04.13.18 | They ban you if you try, those bastards |
Asdfp277
04.13.18 | lol :[ |
