this is the worst news ever. i used it bc i could specifically use it just for my SteelBook collection. and now what? i am truly miserable!

Damn, this sucks. I switched from DVDAf to DVDSpot awhile back and don't want to go back! I'll try some other places first.

Although I use DVDAF, I couldn't whole-heartedly recommend the site simply because it seems more of a film cataloging site as opposed to a DVD cataloging site.

There's no DVD specific related info except for what's in the title header (Special Edition, Limited, etc.) and there are no statistics; so it's essentially generic. But it has a ton of material (domestic and imported) and if it doesn't, the process is easy to get into the DB. And I like having folder options for sorting, which Profiler does not have. +/- with any of the choices.

Count me as another one of the pissed off people.

I switched to Spot when Profiler became a pay site (Profiler was always a bit glitchy for me anyway). I love prety much everything about it except for the lack of offline use. But it never glitched, always had the EXACT DVD I was looking for and had some interesting and unique stats.

I tried DVDAF, I think I might even still have an account there, but I was never really impressed.

This may be the end for me as far as cataloging my DVDs/Blu-rays. I've been trying to scale down my collection anyway.

Hmm. Does this mean that there might actually be a likelihood of people looking at my DVD collection?

The amount of time I spent maintaining DVDSpot is made even more sad by the fact that practically no one saw it.

Yeah. Maybe this is divine intervention. God is telling us to find better ways to occupy our time. (even though I'm an athiest)

I didn't care for DVDSpot, although I used to house my small collection there. I've been using DVDAF as of late.

I'm pretty sad. I used the function of adding views to see how many titles I watch a year and when I last watced them. Damn.

So Profiler or DVDAF? Any others?

That's a bummer. I love DVDSpot. Count me as another person now looking for a new cataloging option (other than DVDAf).

This fucking blows. I've got my collection listed there and have spent countless hours contributing titles. Guess it's all been a massive waste of time.

I was at DVDaf before and won't be going back because I just didn't care for it.

This is terrible, terrible news. I have no idea what I am going to do now. Not only was this site fantastic to help me keep track of my own DVDs, but it was also amazing in finding DVDs that I wanted. I am truly disappointed. This came out of nowhere. I wonder why they are doing this?

The site was bought out by CNET a while back. Since then, it appears to have been pretty much abandoned by them. Some of the now-former editors there post here so they'd be better suited to answer that than I am.

LAME. I'm pretty pissed. I can't take dvdaf's look and I refuse to manually enter in each title. Unless there's a way to enter them by the lot, I'll go elsewhere.

Speaking of which, what is this DVDProfiler? Somebody said something about Movie Collector too. I guess I'll start looking into them.

Fuck! This is certainly unexpected. And October 15?! How about more than a roughly 2-week notice?

I'll echo other comments that DVD Af is probably not in my foreseeable future.

Looks like DVD Profiler will be my one and only.

Aficianado remains the best.

The more I think about this, the more I am thinking that I might just stop cataloging my collection like some of you guys are doing. It took me forever to completely get my collection moved from DVDProfiler to DVDSpot and it would've taken longer had somebody here (I can't recall who, but "Thank You") not helped me out with exporting my collection.

It might just be time for me to hang it up.

There is - but there is also an option to hide everything.

I've never used Profiler but each entry at DVDAF should have at least this, found in the One-Page Mode:
Example: Bad Taste
Director: Peter Jackson
DVD publisher: Anchor Bay,
DISCONTINUED
DVD country: U.S.
Region: 1: US and Canada

Genre: Comedy / Horror
Original language: English

Release status: Out of print
Screening year: 1987
Screening date:
DVD release date: 2001-11-20

Plus the UPC code. Maybe that's not what you are talking about? I'm partial because I'm friends with the ONE guy that operates DVDAF and I know that there is an entire outside site dedicated to fixing problems, adding new features, deleting unused features, etc. I'm not plugging the site as you should use whichever you like most but I don't want people to post uninformed opinions either.

I think we need a thread dedicated to the Pros and Cons of DVD Aficionado and DVD Profiler, because looking at them both they are entirely different than DVDSpot and I can't bring myself to pay for DVD Profiler unless I know for sure I will like it. Anyone that uses (or has used) both care to give input?

I also have DVD profiler so this isn't the end of my world, but I think this really sucks. I liked them for the small touches they added and will miss them now that they are gone.

I like having two databases for just this reason, but the chances of me ever going back to the *upgraded* dvdaf are slim and none.

Just a tip for everyone on DVDSpot that is in the process of exporting their collection. Because DVDSpot, when exporting, lumps all of your Owned, Ordered, and Wishlist into one File...what I did was export it once, then deleted my Wishlist and exported it again. Right now I'm leaning towards DVD Aficionado because it is free, but just doing a few quick searches it is apparent I'm gonna have to do some contributing *sigh*

There is no import feature on dvdaf yet? Damnit.

I'm no longer going to catalog my collection. I only signed up with DVD Spot because it had a similar style to the now defunct Guzzlefish. I don't like DVDaf all that much, plus I don't feel like adding 2400+ titles to my profile. If something else similar pops up I might consider getting into it again, but for now I'm done. This really sucks. I loved DVD Spot.

This sucks. I've got about 3700 titles logged on Dvdspot and now what the hell am I supposed to do? I hate Dvdprofiler and I'm sure as hell not going to pay for it now. I had a Dvdaf account but it was just boring to use. I guess I'll give thema try again. I'm going to miss all of the statistics and everything Dvdspot had. I loved those.

Is there somewhere to look to see how many people viewed a member's DVDSpot page?

Ugh. It's gonna take forever to put all of my DVDs onto DVD Aficionado. I may just use the Exported file from DVDSpot and say to hell with online cataloging...
