DJ_BradyParticipantThis is great, I come here purely for the info/entertainment-mixes etc.. and it did have some great rare acapellas, but this site can be great still without them.. can we design new logo, name, and any ideas to make the site better and more attracting now since pellas are gone? Tutorials.. could each of the top 10-20 posting members have their own page with their 10mb upload mixes, a small biography etc? And maybe where ppl can post thoughts on other members on their page

acheadKeymasterIs anyone else thinking a change of name might be in order?

DJ ValParticipantI think a change in name is going to take place(not sure). If admin and the other mods are like me, the’re probably running around like headless chickens from all the changes that have happened in the last week.
Hang in there guys ‘n girls we’ll have things sorted soon.Take care

MelParticipantA new name would definitely be cool. However, is everything going to be new? I hope this doesn’t mean that we’ll have to start over in terms of our post counts and things like that.
Hey, ACAPELLA. You guys ought to start a new competition for designing the new “acapellas4u” look now. I already have some ideas up the sleeve.
Also, you guys could start taking donations for the new site now. Just throwing out some ideas.

acapellaKeymasterThe issue of us changing our name keeps on coming up but I wouldn’t really worry about it too much cus it affects nothing really in the scheme of things.
Just because we’ve stripped out the pellas doesn’t me we have to change the name, the domain, the whole 9 yards and be called acapellas4ubutnothostinganyactuallfiles.co.uk or something just as silly does it
or does it? 
Not sure if anyone’s noticed but from _bi0 and myselfs point of view it’s still hurting.. the fact that we’ve ripped out everything that we strived to put in and have functioning on the site for everyone..
Maybe it’s just something I wanna hold onto for myself… once the name goes, well, then I’d just pull the plug I think.
But it’s NOT all doom ‘n’ gloom (don’t let me bring you all down ffs)

IdleHandsParticipantgreat news…i never really came here for the pellas(i think i took 10 15 tops since i got here)…i come to check the mixxes for the most part…they have some really talented people here

DJ LevantParticipantGreat to see the best site in the web stayin’
I reckon theirs no need to change the name. Its just easy to keep it as is. I quite like the irony of having an acapella’s 4 U site with no acapella’s
Thanx again all for keeping the great boards up!!

junoParticipanthey! Havent been here in a couple of days – thats great news!
after reading thru this what i’m thinking is maybe along with the changes a few areas should be liberated – like sharing, requests, DYI’s. there is no database to contribute to anymore & ppl will still come here looking for pellas no doubt if the name stays the same. the community will still be here – just the sharing isnt done here which is the whole legal issue right? what do you think?

yogostickParticipantIt’s a very good idea. When I found out about the closing of this site I literally just coughed up my left lung. Not from smoking of course. Phhhheeewww. I get a lot of inspiration from hearing different mixing styles by jamming to some of the mixes put on this site. It’s a great idea!!!

swaogerParticipantI’m glad to see that you’re not scrapping the whole site. I don’t post often, nor did I dl many files, but it sure did come in handy once in a while to have such a database of acapella tracks.
Just wondering what prompted the change. Was there a specific warning or threat leveled at you? If so, man. . . there are some sites that are HUGE copyright violators. I’d love to see them get shut down, but Acapellas4u is harmless.
If the record companies were paying attention, they’d realize that there is a niche market for these tracks and make them more available.
Anyway, best of luck. I’ll check back in.

Hi Swaoger..
The fact that the BPI have stepped-up their approach was really the biggest factor, and now that _bi0’s already publically mentioned it – he wasn’t 100% with carrying on how it was. Which is/was totally fair play and I respect my main man’s wishes
(but he knows that)We’ve done our best since the start to keep the forum clean of all warez discussion, p2p etc etc.. you’re on our forum – hence that’s what the discussion belongs to – ppl wanna talk about totally non relevant info – then we’ve always suggested they go find a more appropriate forum.. I’m more than aware of ppl selling collections of dvd’s and shit like that – the fact is that ppl do it so blatantly is prob why ppl like the BPI stepped up ya know!
Just my tuppence worth!
acapella.
