Methinks Mr. Noel has set the piano on fire and exited the stage! That sounds like it could have been a scene reminiscent of "Gone With The Wind" and the burning of Atlanta! But no... the piano is still quietly gathering dust in the living room  Since BIAB came into my life, I haven't played it too much.

First of all let me say that I greatly appreciate each and every one here who makes this forum what it is!!! There are so many talented folks contributing to this group that it’s mind boggling! I have never made a negative type post here of any kind and I won’t start now! I will however, share some of my thoughts on this subject.
When someone takes valuable time out of their day to listen and comment on my material I feel like they deserve a personal response from me. It’s not an ego thing, it’s a courtesy! I will never make any apologies for this! Each of us have our own method and I judge no one. I will however state that when I spend (usually) about 2 weeks working on a song I would like it to have an opportunity to have some exposure for more than a day or 2. Anyone who puts this amount of effort into their work surely has similar sentiments. This forum is a great place to hang out and I would hate to see it devolve into something that’s negative and unpleasant. If it does, then I will spend my time elsewhere...life is too short for that nonsense! Let’s enjoy our music and not be bitter! Everyone keep on rockin ‘

But no... the piano is still quietly gathering dust in the living room Since BIAB came into my life, I haven't played it too much. I was alluding to a story, I’m sure apocryphal, about Jerry Lee Lewis. Supposedly after a magnificent performance he set his piano on fire and as he left the stage he told the next act to “follow that!” All meaning I thought your response well stated the feelings of many User Showcase folks. Hey, my upright bass resides in a living room corner. It’s so much easier to just move a few notes around in the DAW and get what I want with a RT! Bud

Eddie, you keep replying to people individually and it bumps your post up. Send them a PM dude. How do you know I'm not? I will refrain from adding the word I wanted to add because it would have been all asterisks anyway. Lol, I usually just type in ****'s. You mean it automatically does that?  Just to clarify, so you have been responding here AND sending them PM's? Man. I hadn't thought of that. You are thorough.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

EDIT: My below post is in response to a post that was deleted subsequent to my response. The non-bump options have already been suggested here along with many responses as to why they would not help the User Showcase Community. Noel, Torrey and others summed it up very well - and eloquently. . All within this thread. A non-bump option is very Facebook like if that’s one’s preference. Post it and in a day or two it’s buried (often by multiple song posts from folks who choose not to participate other than making their original posts. I think things are fine as is. I’d go so far as to say that a no bump protocol would in short order reduce the board’s participation exponentially. The usual two cents, grains of salt and FWIWs all from likely the oldest forum member but hopefully not the grumpiest. Bud

This whole "problem" has already been resolved! For anyone who still has an issue with how it works (and it seems to be a really small minority), sslechta discovered the option to sort by post start date, tommyad verified it works and I provided an easy to use link you can set in your browser as a shortcut so you never have to change the setting manually! 1) Copy the link below or go to it by clicking it. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=50&page=1&sort=start2) Once there set that as a new shortcut in your browser. 3) Now, every time you wish to view the showcase in the order of latest post first (ignoring those "bumpy" commented posts), just click your new shortcut. It should stay sorted as long as you stay on the showcase thread. 4) And when you wish to view the forum sections normally just click around as usual.

For what it worth... I record my listens in a LibreOffice Calc file (similar to Excel) including date, song, songwriter... When I get time to listen to a song, I will do a quick search to see if I have already listened to it... I also always record the next song so when I quit I have a new starting point... the next song up is "The Traveller" by BlueAttitude... it was on page 7 but who knows where I will find it

For some reason my post was cut short so I will the missing portion... I must admit, often times I'll listen, but not comment... forgive me & I will try to comment more, but most of you already know you're pretty dang good at writing songs!

My last comment on this topic will be this. While setting my view up to avoid the annoyance of people bumping their song to the top every 2 hours, that doesn't resolve them doing it. It just keeps me from seeing them do it. Thus I will refer to this as "ostriching" the issue. Anybody so desperate for adulation that they are going to fish for compliments that way needs a different kind of help.
Out.

The only solution I can think of is if the forum software has a setting that preserves the original posting order of songs by never bumping anything after a new reply. But would that really be desirable?
With so many people songs every day, every song would get buried in a few hours.
The current system isn't perfect, but it does tend to keep songs that are good enough to merit a lot of comments on page 1 or 2 for at least a few days.
Having your songs scroll away faster if nobody comments on them is also a good way to encourage newbies to participate in the commentary. If you don't listen and comment to other peoples songs, they won't listen and comment on yours, so they scroll away faster. Pretty simple form of positive reinforcement if you ask me.
Songs being bumped means there are lots of comments happening, which is the evidence that lots of people are participating in both directions. Healthy forum.

When half the comments are from the original poster, that's when I get irritated. If comments come from users, so be it. But gratuitous replies JUST to bump are just wrong, IMHO. That is just "end zone dancing" to draw attention. I never felt the need to do that.

But you feel the need to disparage the majority who are happy with how the showcase works? And you just assume the worst of them that they are replying just for self-promotion? We told you how to resolve this "problem" for yourself but you have no interest because you would require it be changed for everyone instead. Anybody so desperate for adulation that they are going to fish for compliments that way needs a different kind of help. I would submit that anyone so desperate to disparage others and force their minority opinion on the showcase might also need a different kind of help!
