No worries, some *****bag is going to launch a site soon!

I did not name any names but people can read and judge for themselves.

delicious library

I like DVDspot too,luckily I only had a small portion of my collection there.

I'm going to try Chasingthefrog too,I don't like the way DVDAF is set up.

thanks for finding that site.

That's on my to-do list.

I'd be interested in DVDProfiler but if I'm gonna put any work into getting my catalog up and running again, I'd also want to keep track of my CDs, games, books and any arbitrary collections.

Rats. I just went to DVD Spot to add a few movies, saw that the site was down, and then found this thread. Too late to back anything up , although I maintain a similar list on DVDAF for just this situation.

I wish they had sent a notification email before shutting fown. Guess I should come to this forum more often

Trevor

Yeah, it wasn't a whole lot of notice, like 2 weeks. Message on your spot homepage if you logged in there. They should have done a mass email.

As for not checking DVDtalk often enough, I learned long ago that I usually regret it if I don't check the main forum and the bargain forum at least once a day each. But then if you really don't want to miss bargains, I hear you have to check fatwallet and a couple other forums daily, or even hourly.

OK, I know they made a 2-week notice (or how much?), but what if someone wasn't visiting the site for a while like me? Now all my collection is gone (but that's not the worst thing 'cos I have it in Excel as well), but I also was keeping track of movies I watched, with dates etc. Hundreds just vanished with DVDspot and I've no idea how I'm gonna recover that information. Why couldn't they just leave some saved copy of their pages? I'm destroyed...

ChasingtheFrog.com doesn't seem any better than DVDAF

Giggles,
do you know of some Russian or European DVD organizational site? And speaking about your info you lost, you listed the dates of the times you watched your films? What for?


Snowmaker,
Chasingthefrom.com basically looks better - more pleasing to the eye - than DVDAF.

MGR

OK so I've been offline and otherwise occupied for about 6 weeks, so have just discovered that DVDspot is gone. *poof*. I'm really in shock right now.

Luckily I did export a .cvs file earlier in the summer, so that's only slightly out of date.

I just would like to know what the "other great web properties" are that CNET (or whoever it is that owned and dumped DVDspot) is focusing on. So that I can be sure I'm not using them or visiting those sites whatsoever.

Giggles

Hey toddly! No, I haven't come across any European (I'm not even mentioning Russian) sites similar to dvdspot or dvdaf. Most collectors from Europe I know either don't bother at all organizing their collections or actually do so in their blogs (which can look rather cute, but I bet time-consuming).

And I kept all the dates of watched films just because it's interesting. For example now I'd like to know when was the first time that I watched Terminator (back in 1991 I guess) or how many times I watched it in general. Besides I could always take a look at dvdspot to make sure I've already seen a certain movie if I was not sure Or keep track how many films I've seen during a year...

Darth Maher

Weird. What happened to the .com post?

43? Crap!

Edit: Is there a reason the site is deleting the name of the site?

Is there a conspiracy that I don't know about?

Numes

I noticed that message was deleted too. I looked at the user list on the site that shall remain unnamed and that person doesn't look to be the owner of the site.

Definitely a conspiracy...

Trevor

Wow, that site could turn out to be a lifesaver. dvd count dot com took my dvdspot backup csv file and accepted most of it.

Not nearly as pretty as the spot, and I haven't played with it at all yet, but this looks promising.

Darth Maher

I wonder if they are prepared for all of us to set up shop there.

Trevor

I still haven't messed with it much, but if they make it easy to add titles, and the new releases are pretty much there without me having to add mainstream stuff, I think I might be sold.

Sure, it's basic and not at all pretty. But if it allows us to keep a good list of our titles, and easily share it online, it just may be my next "spot".

They must have spammed the forum here trying to promote themselves, so therefore the site name is blocked. Hopefully that was their only offense, some over anxiousness.

LickTheABCs

I'm officially a fan of "count".

MikeAK

Could somebody PM this "count" address please?

Trevor

I put it pretty clearly just four posts up. Just use count instead of spot. I'm really hopeful about this site.

MikeAK

So can anyone edit the movie details and thumb? So you could log on to find some kid went and changed all the details of all your movies? Or once they are in your collection then nobody can change your details? The reason I ask is because I wasn't even signed in and was given the ability to edit a movie

Trevor

FYI, forum filters won't even let us add it to our signatures.

MikeAK

"count" looks very promising but anyone can go behind you and edit/change the details and thumbnail image to what ever they want. So you could spend hrs adding your collection and details only to have some jerk come behind and erase it all. I'll definitely add it to my favorites but will wait for it to be more refined before spending any time adding titles.

MikeAK

Wanted to let everyone know that I have sent in feedback about this issue and have since been told by the creator that he has changed the code so that only a user can edit their titles, so once a title is added to your library it can't be edited by anyone else.
