Ten years and counting...

Despite the claims of my previous post in this spot, and as many of you must have noticed, the site had not been updated in close to a year. I apologize about this, but I have not had much free time in all these months and had to make many changes to my priorities. I do now have time again to spend on the site, though not anywhere near as much as I had in the past. However, considering the amount of data that has piled up during this extended hiatus, it will take some time to get everything entered into the database. Consequently, to help speed things up a bit, I have mapped things out as follow:

- Phase 1: enter basic data (artist / title / airdate) on every new video released since the last update.
- Phase 2: go through forms & emails and add submitted detailed credits for videos both new & old.

The reason I mention this is because some of you will most likely notice a video added that you submitted but without all the details you gave. Do not panic. This is normal. The phases described above rely on totally different sources. The reason I've decided to do things this way is because I should be able to complete phase 1 a lot faster than phase 2, thus allowing to bring the site back up-to-date much quicker than if I worked my way through all sources simultaneously (which is what I normally do).

Oh, and BTW, in case you're wondering about the title of this article... mvdbase is ten years old this year! A demo version of the site was created in April 1998. It was officially launched on December 7, 1998. So, you can expect a lot of things to happen this year... On a side note, if you work for a record label or production company and would like to help out in celebrating this anniversary, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
