oh yeah, by the way, it was on my a900. I'll definitely try it out tonight on my a940. They work well as screensavers, by the way!

Screensavers? you mean like a standby animation (after not doing anything for a few secs) or you mean on the 900 you can actually set video as the wallpaper??

Yeah on the a900 and the a920, u can set videos as your actual wallpaper, not just as standby animation...

Don. Could U Hook Us Up With Avant Songs 4 Ringers On Ur Site Please.

[tadlock2699]

So I created a email address for people to send stuff to. its dbcontent [at] gmail [dot] com.
Anything people wanna send will be appreciated. But don't be offended if I don't use something you send (not you personal laursifer :) just anyone in general).
But some rules of thumb for content i use:
Screen Savers should be at least 240 x 320 and good quality. Its best if they are resized to 240x320, but they should be at least that to avoid distortion.
AAC ringers should be under 30 seconds, 32kbps (data rate), and mono.
Video clips (yup, i do video now) should be some format that quicktime can handle.

Thanks again all! :)


Dude, EFFIN SWEET!!!!

i really don't know what avant songs are

[deepisland]

Thanks for your site.

[suebee_lv]

Tried to get back to your site and saw that you are only accepting registered users. Filled out the form about a week ago but no reply.

Is your site still up and functioning or should I re-register?

[Ganorgard]

Don Blay thanks a ton for the site, just wondering when you will be updating the video ringers!!! Love the ones you have now, wanting more!!!

[Danbert]

I checked out the videos. sweet. I figured out as well on my 900 that you can set the video as wallpaper. what I am looking for is the little animation of the two stick figures banging ont he screen trying to get out. or the stick figure one titled martial arts vs modern arts where the little guy is all trying to be kung fu and the other just pulls out a gun.
But what is there is sweet. I downloaded the angry cat one. my wife loves it.
Thank you

[channel125]

What is the link to the site again? Also, how do I sign up?

[donblay]

The ringers are more or less just a test for right now. Kind of a proof-of-concept to see if i could actually get them to work. i realize lots of you are excited about them and wanna see more but don't expect a huge library of them any time soon. They're rather difficult and time consuming to make. and i'm still pretty much testing them out right now, seeing if they work for most phones, and how i can best organize and present them. as always with my site, its a work in progress that you're getting to see. i hope to add more soon, but we'll see....

[braddaruler]

Your sight is way kool i used it befor you had to sine up. how long does it take to get back in now? thanks for the great sight!

[popbottle98]

1st off, yes, i'm still going through applications, its been an endless stream. be patient please.

2nd, what i really wanted to do was ask memebers to test out my new video section. i don't have many videos available yet because its still in testing, but i'd like some help. i've tested the vids with a sanyo 9000 and a sanyo 7400 and they seem to work fine. can members with other phone types try (of course your phone must be able to take videos to play them). They're in 3gp (and 3g2) format, so it should be pretty much univeral for any video-capable phone (unlike mp4 files, not as well supported). i'm working on a method to thumbnail the videos, but for now i wanna make sure the fundimental dowloading and use part works.
Thanks to all who can help.

The videos work fine on both of our phones (mm7500). thanks don......popbottle98

i wanna try some videos..

hope i get in

[ready4URlink]

Does anyone know where to download the "VZW Message Default Beep?"

...its like *Beep Beep, Beep, Beeeeeeeeeep*. Its rather bland and otherwise boring..but yet it sounds soooo cool. Gracias!

[thecynosureone]

man the videos are very nice!! I love them!

[Redbeard]

So I got a video from the site, but it says I need a plugin. When I try to let it take me to where I can download the plugin it takes me to sprints screensaver page... and no plugins. Any ideas? I'm using a sanyo RL-7300.

you should be able to, but it depends on your phone. i know with my sanyo9000 i can. i don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to

[Hott2Death]

you know, the membership approval process would go faster and smoother if you wouldn't keep asking the status of your request. i think last time he told us, there were about 3k requests PENDING alone. he has a life, stop hounding and let him do what he wants, when he wants.

[ThaGeneral]

yea,,,the video works fine on a mm 7500

[boowooh]

you should be able to, but it depends on your phone. i know with my sanyo9000 i can. i don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to

I have the A920 and I can only set it as a screensaver with no sound. It won't allow me to set it as a ringer. Am I doing something wrong?

BTW, the video I downloaded works... :tu:

hey, i've got around 98 ringtones, all roch, metal, or otherwise.
but...you have any free suggestions for AAC conversion programs?

everything is in wav and qcp format at the moment, i'll send them to you once i get my 7500 today,
i should be gettnig the unlim. data plan.

unfortunately i don't know of any way to convert from QCP to any other format. you can convert mp3's and such to AACs using various programs (like itunes for free), but once they're converted to QCP I don't know of any converter or editor that supports that file type.

yup, exactly.....one by one by one by one by one.....
I made a tool that helps me do them by checking off ones i approve and making them active and automatcially sending out the email; but i still read each application myself....

[Niklaus]

That sounds tedious... Is there any way I could help?

Maybe you could search through ppls responses with "keyword", or something? That might weed-out the applications :thought: just a thought

the screensavers/video section is down AGAIN. It appears that yet again it has gone over the allot amount of CPU usage (not bandwidth). I've been told the only way I can have the account unsuspended is to buy a dedicated server. I CANNOT afford this ($180 a MONTH), so I guess it looks like it will be down for good.....

yeah, for the shared server hosting it costs me $90 a year; and i have 2 servers (so i already dished out almost $200. for the dedicated server (where I would have full control over the server and no limitations) its $180 a month.
How can we make it stay up? well $180 a month a guess :thought:
About having a monthly fee, then I would really worry about being sued :weeping:

[donblay]

i've looked into hosting it from my house. i do have the equipment (server and such), but I don't have a means of hosting it on the web. my ISP says I cannot have a static IP address and I cannot have a domain name mounted (violates TOS). They do have a "buisness" package, but again costs $$ and even worse is its not available in my area.

[Niklaus]

Sounds like the whole thing is going down... Man, that's making things difficult. So what we need to do is have "donations" equaling $180 per month to keep that thing going? :scratch:

[jmc67]

Don, I have a vps server and willing to share. PM or email me if interested directly through this board. We can discuss further through aim/email/pm.

[FlimFlam]

Don, here's a question - Is there any way for you to track how many download requests from different IP addresses, on the average? I only ask because it seems like you might want to consider putting a ringer request cap in, just to make sure that you don't kick yourself over the limits. Then, for a fee, you can raise the cap, incrementally for increasing raises in limits.

Sad to see that this is beginning to tax your personal resources, Don. You've set yourself an impossible task of offering everyone everything without requiring them to give you a dime, and I admire you for keeping to that for so long, especially considering that this is more a hobby (or should I say a second, non-paying job?) for you. Most companies specifically providing content don't even do half of what you offer.

one of my frineds suggested that too. but to be honest what i really enjoyed the most was creating the site itself. making content and stuff for people to enjoy of course was nice, but what I really took the most pride in was creating and developing a site that was usefull and functional. thats why i keep trying to create new features. i wanted to see how far i could go with it. i liked making something that would make people think, wow, this is a cool site. but sending out content (ringes & images) via email is a nice idea and all, but it takes out the convenance & accessability for the user (most people here know how to make thier own anyhow, but they still liked to use my site because it was easy). and for me it takes out the fun of what it was to create and grow dbringers.
i do appreciate the suggestion though, thank you. if someone else is willing to manage and mantain a mailing list, i can help with the ringers that i already have if they want to use them.

i could maybe develope a method of doing that. but at this point i don't know if it would help. right now my host isn't even allowing me to access my files; they say they won't un-suspend that account unless i purchase a dedicated server. so i can't tell them that i have a method that might make things better and have the unsuspend the images account on good faith. also the problem isn't directly traffic (though it is related). the problem is my scripts are run so much that they cause my site to use too much of the shared memeory and cpu time of the server. so if i add more overhead to the site of checking IP's and such, it might actually make things worse.
And thanks for you nice words. i really did like trying to make a site that even outshined the ones that charged. i was always trying to be innovative too. and i sucesfully made a huge site, just too huge for its own good. like i said before, i now realize why no good sites stay totally free for long; it just can't be done.

It sounds like you need a script overhaul. Something where bulky lines of script and code are tightened up and uncluttered. Everything will work the same, but much more efficently. However, I understand that they won't let you back in on that idea alone, but if they did, it should help. Do you know anyone that can do that for you? On the cheap of course.

[Perfectance]

The idea I have is solely based on the possibility that your host will let you make these changes without forcing you to get a dedicated server.

What if you have less on your site? Make it only ringers permanently, and maybe have a tutorial on how to make and upload screensavers, instead of hosting your own. Take down the user submitted uploads of screensavers and take down the videos. Trim the fat in a way. Will that help?

For the ringers, don't have all of them on the site at one time. RedvsBlue.com had this idea first, so the credit goes to them. They have many videos for download that they made, but instead of all the old videos ready to download every day, they rotate them. A few one day, a few the next. This way, they can control how much can be downloaded and transmitted at one time. This relates to you like this...

You keep the newest and most popular ringers up all the time, but for the other ringers, you rotate them. For example, have half of the retro 80's up for 3 days, and then the other half the next three. Include a placeholder to let people know that the other half will be up on whatever date is next.

I don't assume to know your situation, but I hope this could work. Anyone else out there have any ideas?

[nycgay23]

I think this is a great idea - although I was thinking more along the lines of a raise some money to help bring back the other half of DBringers!

[donblay]

I admit my code could be tighter. i've been teaching myself PHP as I've been developing the site, so some of the bad-habits and mistakes i made when first learning some functionality still exist in my code. but even if i did clean it up (not that my host is willing to let me open it without dedicated hosting anyhow), i'm not sure if it would help. i think the main thing that is a problem is the image resizing. i allow the user to select the image size and if it doen't exist on the server already it will creat it. the image resizing is the only thing i can think of that's process intensive. i think it was ok for a while, but i foolishly opened up the public-uploads gallery to non-memebers the night before they took the images site down; so i think the extra traffic & use is was what brought it over the edge. The ringer site obviously doen't have this resizing functionality, so all my code over there just mainly constructs html pages and queries the data base
i'm not sure whre i can host the images portion of the site still

I can offer to Host your Videos. i get unlimited Bandwith, and I have a Dedicated Server that is not shared.

[FlimFlam]

I think this is a great idea - although I was thinking more along the lines of a raise some money to help bring back the other half of DBringers!

We do need to make sure that we don't get too ambitious with any monetary plans - the last thing we need to do is to get those record industry people all riled up and on Don's case!

That said, I think it would be nice to get people onboard with donating to at least get Don's server back up so Don can at least get the info off the site, if not to buy a server and get it running. If a dedicated server costs 180/month, 100 people donating $2 a month would handle that amount safely. That's 24 bucks a year - and less than a Starbucks grande coffee a month! (Where's Sally Struthers when you need her?!?)

[donblay]

I can offer to Host your Videos. i get unlimited Bandwith, and I have a Dedicated Server that is not shared.
Really???? Well this could be very helpful, this is what i truely need (and then we can finally get the "don't worry be happy" one usable again :)). Would you mind the screen savers? Screen savers just have some additonal overhead of resizing the jpeg files, but if youre server is dedicated it shouldn't be an issue; its up to you though.

[tadlock2699]

I think this is a great idea - although I was thinking more along the lines of a raise some money to help bring back the other half of DBringers!


I would have no problem donating again. And again..and again. However needed. I've loved DB since it started. I do realize that the images and videos portion is going to be difficult, but, maybe we can all come up with something. Channel's server would be awesome!! And by donations, I was speaking of small donations by the way. Nothing huge. Just enough to help :)

[Xenocide]

i also have a server with unlimited bandwith, my lease is up in 90 days but i would be more than happy to renew it if you would like some bandwith. i have about 1-2 gigs of space i believe.

How Do I Use Cookies On My Phone. I Have A Sanyo 8300. This Problem Just Started Like 2days Ago
Phone web browsers support cookies, I think as far back as my 8100 at least (i member the delete cookies optoin being in the browser menu). Cookies should be on be default, but i thought there was a way to turn them off on my 7400, though my 9000 now only seems to have the option to delete cookies but not turn them off. maybe others have some input on this. but the native phone browser does support cookies.

[brol1k]

hey I went to the site and it said its not accepting new people... I thought the site was open to every sprint user that knows the website?

[dubs29]

You need to read the posts before you and then you will understand.

[brol1k]

i understand that but grits and eggs is free the only thing is its not being updated

[donblay]

i understand that but grits and eggs is free the only thing is its not being updated
maybe so, but grits and eggs isn't run by a single person as a hobby with no advertising income from the site. it i open it back up to everyone again it will overload the shared server and my host will require me to buy a dedicated server which i cannot afford.

[Mantichora]

I've never heard back as to getting on the site but I understand where Don is coming from. People will abuse anything free.

Carry on!

[FlimFlam]

Any word about getting a shared server with another person, Don, or have those fallen through? Would we all have to pool together and pitch in to help buy that dedicated server? Given the number of people that use your site, I would hope that there's enough generous people out there that's willing to help keep the costs off your wallet.... I know I would!

well i might have something in the works. i'm gonna be considering some options that have come my way. but right now i haven't delt with it much. i live in the boston area and we got some major rains over the past week and I have a very flooded basement right now. So hopefully there will be someting down the line soon though

Yeargh. Well, I can see why you're distracted. I think anyone would be worried about their own basement, just a little more...

Stay afloat, man!

wowdb sorry to hear about your basement issue...we got some heavy rain down here in NY a few days ago but no flooding for us...please let me know when you are accpeting more appl.If there is anyway we all can help jus let us kow and we might all come up with a conclusion.

[nycgay23]

OMG - I just checked out the thread and read about the flooding. Sorry to hear that!!! Hope everything gets back to normal quickly!

[donblay]

Thanks NYC. Its ok now. water is still seeping up from the ground, so even thought thankfully the rains have finally stopped, the water will keep coming up from the ground for a week or so. But I just let the puddle in the low end fill a bit and then turn on the pump for a few hours and turn if off when it drains. at least its not rising like before and extinguishing the pilot light in the hot water heater like before, ugh. Did you get hammered with rain down your end? The whole Boston area got it hard!

[donblay]

Like I said, I’ve been busy lately, but I haven’t forgotten about the site. I have been thinking over some options. One of them sounds decent, I can do all the things I want to do with the site; but of course its not free. It won’t cost me the ungodly amount that my current host would. Lots of people say they are willing to contribute; which is good. I’m just afraid when it comes down to it though that I’m gonna be the one stuck holding the bill. Anyhow, I’ll keep you posted on what’s going on.

[dravonix]

hey, sent you some ringers.

What kind of a time frame are you lookinng at?

[nycgay23]

Yeah, it was some pretty intense rain and wind that we've had, for almost the entire past week! It looks like it might finally be over as of today, but I have heard so many flood stories for people in basements and on first floors of houses and buildings, so I really feel for them! :(

Hey ya'll.. Just poppin' in to say hey, then it's off to bed. Work seems to put such a cramp in my social life (what little there is to begin with!) So I was wondering Don, if you had heard about the Seagulls ringer from nemo, and was wondering if it's available for the sprint phones? I have a friend who has T-mobile and he has it on his phone. I know, I know, Sure.. anything's possible, but I was just wondering if you know if it having been put together in a sprint-friendly format yet..?

Take care,
-Redbeard

[kenneth18]

I would like to apply for a membership. When will you be accepting applications again?

[mcwick81]

I have a quick question about dbringers.info... I was using it for a long time and then all of the sudden it requires registration. :jaw: I have filled out the registration form, but have not heard anything. How can I go about getting access for it again? Awesome site and I would even donate to keep it going!


CW


sprint has made some changes to thier network. I know what the problem is (thanks to other SU memembers) but I'm working with my hosting company to impliment the fix. hopefully soon

[jam_dat]

don i,ve been a active member on your site for a long time and i really love it . i just feel like i can't really realte to your ringers :( i mean you have pop and all that other good stuff but hip hop seems to always be neglected im sorry if i sound picky but i haven't really seen much hip hop or r&b on your site thats new or current :( i guess i will just keep my chamillionaire ringer ridin dirty thanks don anyways for the great site i will just wait til you get around to it if you every have free time .


p.s keep up the good work and god bless :)

[FlimFlam]

Don -

When you get a chance, give me a PM on here. I'd like to see if I can help you out by taking on some of the registration e-mail (#) load you get every day off your hands. I know that you like handling it personally, but it might take away a bit of the administrative burden. I imagine that if we can find another 4 or 5 more volunteers (#), it might actually be easier. Let me know, once you got things up and running after your flooding issues are done and handled.

I know I wouldn't mind volunteering! :tu:

[sdgirljoyce]

I was using it for a long time also (saw db's post here) and now I saw it requires registration.
I have 2 have filled out the registration form, & havent not heard anything :-("""". How can u go get access for it again?
Love the site and if ya need donations let peeps know
Bet u r busy and aol ( my isp) may have not sent me an approval email.
If u pm an email I can make sure its nor blocked.
GREAT SITE, EASY 4 me 2

Thanks,

sdgirljoyce :-)

[Madisn]

Notice: This thread is not going to turn into a series of posts of "I love the site - I want access" followed by "me too" and "me three"... "me four".

I'm sure Don knows how popular his site is, but there is no reason to turn this thread into a signup sheet for a site that is not currently taking on members. That's not what this thread is for - and all posts of that nature will be removed.

[SumDuud]

Hey man, I have used your site in the past for a few ringers and I just got a new phone and Sprint couldn't transfer anything from my old phone so I was visiting the site again. I noticed the new registration and said DOH! So I am back at Sprintusers.com looking for some link and things have changed...

Anyway, I noticed your need for assistance (or at least the abundance of reg requests and mention of it here, though I admit I didn't read all 41 pages of this thread) and wanted to offer my services. I know you don't know me from Adam, but here is what I may be able to do. I have some reseller hosting accounts and I could host some ringers or images whatever you might need for you. I don't know that I could host it all for you (this would depend on total size/throughput), but if I were to host some of it and you could link off to it (I can even purchase a domain for it or setup a folder on one of my many sites) and that could potentially save you some cost. I don't know how you would feel about splitting up parts of it, but it might help lower the load on the CPU.

I don't have a dedicated server, but I would love to help out if I can. I will ponder the cost/donation issue and if I can think of a good way to assist I will contact you (and I completely understand not wanting to be sued!)

If you think I might be able to help you, PM me as I would like to get some idea of what kind of throughput you have monthly and space required for what you have before I can totally commit. I work for an ISP so I understand all the lingo, so don't feel like you will talk to technical. If you wanted to chat a little I would certainly be game for that as well.

hey don when i try to log in via the wifey's phone it just gets stuck on stupid at the page where you enter your log in info...is there something wrong or am i just a retard as per usual ?

[donblay]

Hello everyone. It's come the time that I throw in the towel. DBRingers is now gone and will not be coming back. I will not be looking for a new host and will not be looking to start up the site again. DBRingers had a good run, it was fun while it lasted. I just wish it got to go out with a bang rather the a fizzle like it has. Thanks to everyone who supported me and donated to the site. it was fun.

[Yay4Juggs]

in honor of great tradition i have offered my services to host don's files and continue to support the site and keep it alive...somewhat

[nycgay23]

Well, I want to say thank you for all the wonderful screensavers (among everything else!) you had and the hard work you put into the site while it was up. I am very grateful, and I expect you to keep me informed as to where I can continue to find my very favorite wallpapers, here on out! ;) Good luck to you, and don't disappear from here! :)

yeah, its not something I really wanted to do. but it seems if its not one problem its another. the site has been going down hill lately, with loosing the screensaver/vid section, requiring memebership, etc, and becasue of all that it was going in the wrong direction of the kind of site i wanted to make. it just wasn't fun anymore.
but hey, i had a great run. even outshined some of the big-boy pay-sites out there for a while too :headbang2
Thanks

Sorry to hear the decision, Don, I'll definitely miss your site. Thanks for the effort in putting it up and keeping it together for so long!

And hopefully, you'll have your spare time back, too. :)

you will always be in my downloads, thanks DB'

[macmichael01]

For all the sad people. I am working on an uploader that is very similar to dbringers. Its a project that I adopted from www.rumkin.com which I have added lots of enhancements. I am looking for a server to host it on b/c I dont want to host it from my local machine. those of you who would like to check it out can goto www.chrisontheweb.net/cellphones/ you can also access it via you phone at www.chrisontheweb.net/wap/ There are still a lot of bugs that need to be worked out and if anyone would be willing to help out let me know. enjoy!!

Also a question for the guy who created dbringers. Where did you get the uploader or did you create it youself? If so could I get the source code so that I can make the one that I have even better. It looked alot like the rumkin uploader in some ways.

[SkylineGuy01]

Hey DB I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to start up a website like yours. Thanks

I just want 1 or 2 ringtones...

[trey3670]

yup thanks man,glad I got the donation in before you shut down,i bet i got 20 ringers off yer site,was great while it lasted!

[donblay]

thanks everyone. i do really appreciate all the well wishes. at least i know it wasn't all in vaine, lol. glad that the site was so well appreciated. who knows what the future will bring. but for now i need a rest anyhow.
i've been getting tons of questions about hosting, my code, content, and weather i would reconsider bringing the site back (which i am not). i will try to get back to everyone soon. just been really busy lately and haven't really been on the computer much at all lately. i plan on either repling directly or doing like a wrap-up FAQ here to address everyone's questions.
Again, thanks everyone

[fun2005]

try this free site:

http://www.funformobile.com/

it probably offers the most reliable uploader and also a large selcetion of free ringtones, wallpaers, and video ringers.

[INTERNET2000]

Is the content off of DBRINGERS going to be passed on to anyone or is all lost?

[laursifer]

I am closing this thread since there is no need for it to remain open. If Don ever passes his stuff along or opens another site, I am 110% sure he will make a thread here to let us know. If he doesn't, I will hunt him down personally. :p
