Re: [ms] DJ Database
I'm going to be candid here, so I hope I don't come off as blunt or rude since it's not my intent. My original plan was to eventually add labels and be able to tag our DB artists to labels. As much as I'd love to repeat that process for the labels I first need to see more people populating our current DJ Database. I hate to say it, but there's no way I'm going to create a second database when our current DJ DB is only being populated by about four people. I need to be confident that most members out there will take the five minutes to submit a new artist to the DB if they create a thread for an artist that doesn't exist... it's just not happening.
If I had ~20 committed volunteers who were devoting at least one hour per day submitting DJs for four months, I'd start working on the label DB. Otherwise, I'm not going to spend another ~3-4 hours/day for four months to create a second database that will ultimately be my responsibility to populate and maintain along with the first one.

I just don't want this to be an effort by a few people, but instead a group effort. If we want to see this place grow, we all need to put a little bit of work into it. If only 300 of us put ten DJs into it over the next month, we'd have every DJ you could think of in there and I'd be willing to do the label DB
