Some kind of music discovery system would be badass. Considering that huge companies where people are getting paid to develop it for years and years and they still kinda suck may mean that its beyond the abilities of our friendly volunteer dev community.

I am totally against any sort of rating, grading, points or whatever system. The internet has proven time and time again it cannot handle this sort of focused famehunt, and its way too easy to be the target of trolling, e-meltdowns and bad feelings. To me chipmusic.org is an enthusiasts website to discuss the creation, performance, r+d ends of the scene, etc and meeting like minded people.

The minute you start cherry picking people as being better using some arbitrary system (the QFS at its best, elitism at its worse) or some fake democratic method (that's going to be gamed by by people using the methods stated before or even just by people who got nothing better to do than camp online and endlessly debate) you are going to get hurt feelings and people who either feel left out, or feel they need to endlessly play the "emperor has no clothes" card and point out that someone is only popular here because they have friends.

I know to a lot of you youngsters that cm.o seems old and cranky, but please remember that lots of the people who started this community and post here have lived both sides of the results of the discussions about stuff like this, and talked about it, over and over for the last 3,5,9,15 years.

Newcomers should strive for personal satisfaction in their music first and foremost, and worry later what a scene of 500+ chips musicians tops think. CM.o is the not the be all end all springboard to internet fame, and to put that kind of pressure on it inst really fair to anyone.
