FTP site

Is there a way for you guys at Moog Music Forum, or Webmaster to set up an FTP for images? I want to post a picture/diagram of my rig in the ‘tell us about your rig’ forum, but don’t have access to an FTP site.

What do you say? I can’t be the only one that wants to do this…

Why not use one of the free picture hosting sites? Imageshack, Photobucket, etc.

BRILLIANT!! :smiley:

Well, don’t I feel silly. Thanks, dude.

I use imagecave.com

Look forward to seeing your rig.

What about music? I have 2 files around 30 meg a piece that I’d like to give people access to. Any suggestions?

upload the audio files (lol) to a file site like megaupload or rapid share

If they are under 9 megs in MP3 format you can go to reverbnation and make a page there.

I’m gonna do this. Myspace is just so unseemly.

Myspace sucks. It has so much trash, the funniest being those people who are PRETENDING to chat on the webcams, trying to look sexy and smiling then trying to look serious. This one dude is eating stuff lol. Jeez.

WHat do you expect, its owned by WIlliam Randolph Hearst Jr…OOPS i mean Rupert Murdoch.

I was hoping that was some sort of bad dream and no one else was seeing that.

No we had the same bad dream. Its really bad, especially the dudes lol.

:open_mouth:


But I guess those people get paid for that.

I’m the only person left in the world without a myspace account, and damn proud of it! :mrgreen: I use flickr for photos and archive.org for music. I only have one song there, for now. More when I get time to record more. :wink:

Amos should do one of those.

I hate Myspace soooo much

Anyway, a Moog storage place for pics, patches, music, would indeed be a good idea.

THey did that before, it was called Moogspace.
Before that it was a yahoo users group called Squarewave.

Squarewave fizzled out. Moog tried to charge for admission to Moogspace and alot of people rejected it.

But It seemed like it would have been a nice thing but it just never took off and I think theres no content on there anymore. THe forums were free, who woudl want to create a pay account when the forums were free. I think therein lay the downfall.

A point of clarificaton: SquareWave didn’t fizzle out. I was personally asked by Jared White of Moog Music to move the SquareWave stuff over to their new site (MoogSpace) prior to the ‘grand opening’. I figured that momentum would shift over to MoogSpace once it was launched anyway, so I did. Later, Moog decide to charge for MoogSpace, and that decision, along with an overly-ambitious effort with the Moog Modeler, was ultimately it’s undoing. Moog shut down MoogSpace late last year, but the site was already pretty dead (only a handful of people bothered to posted anything in 2008). Moog never did actually charge for MoogSpace, but the initial announcement to charge users created a huge rift in the Moog user community that never healed - it was all too bad, as the basic concept of MoogSpace (user file sharing) was sound, and I still believe that.

I say that based on my experience with SquareWave -a very successful Voyager sharing site that remained so right up to the day I shut it down. SquareWave attracted over 525 members in the 15 months it was online (members included a couple of ‘big names’ that managed to remain anonymous, and I’m quite proud that these folks thought enough of my site to join!). I’m also proud that some of the articles I wrote for SquareWave have gone on to have a life of their own (LOTRM being the most notable example). In all, it was a very satisfying experience for me, and I’d venture to say the same thing for the Voyager owners who participated in the site.

I think there’s still a need for an information sharing site, and over the last couple of months I’ve been putting some things together to do just that. I’m not ready to announce anything just yet, but things are in-process. Stay tuned.

:smiley:

Great to hear Greg…and i wish you all the best in setting this up.

If you need any help just give a shout…else i will be one of the first to subscribe to your new effort… :slight_smile:

Thanks for the clarification, Greg.

Id be hapy to see whatever you have up your sleeve.

I didn’t know squarewave was your baby.

Awesome! I hope you include some spots for the thousands of Little Phatty users and the dozens ( :wink: ) of MP-201 users.
