https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62944418/Reddit/plugscam.png I got really unpatient. After that I will probably go with it to places, where you dont have any control.

I can hardly believe what is happening, but a Plug.dj Admin just came into my room (Rock/Metal 24/7) and told us to stop playing Meshuggah because it is now against the terms of service to play metal music?!

I don't want to speak for everyone, but I feel that it's unacceptable that Plug.dj is willing to compromise the freedom to play thematically and technically mature music in order to appeal to a younger audience. What do you think?

Eric commented today explaining where the extra money went. I fear this comment got drowned so I'm going to stick it:

Donations were what kept us from shutting down weeks before; they kept us going as long as we did. We were forced to shut down on Monday because we were out of money. Over the final weekend, the donations dropped off significantly and we have obligations to pay at the beginning of the month (server bills, employees, etc.). We kept the site going for as long as we could (it was ~15k a week to keep the site going), and we used the donations to pay for that time. We appreciate everyone’s support and cannot thank you enough.

tl;dr Our site was running week by week by the end, that is where the money went.

Like $10 a month or something to keep it visible in communtiy list, all other rooms will be unlisted private ones.

Being open with your problems and taking donations is a nice way to keep the site running, but not for long, apparently subscribers and avatar sales aint enough, plug.dj needs a 3rd way of making money.

The last month or so (ever since you have been asking for donations to keep the site running) you have been stealing people's money. You are scum because you guys knew (probably more than 6 months ago) that the site was going to fail, and decided to milk people's money until the last minute, fully taking advantage of your superior position.

At least let us be able to log in to our rooms and copy down our massive play lists with hundreds of songs!

I think it's a great idea because chibi anime characters kinda look like Plugdj's avatars. Tiny body, big heads, big eyes, KAWAIIIIIII~~~ - ＭＯＮＫＥＹ Ｄ-ＤＡＮⓋⒷ

The status feature where you could set if you were Avaliable, Away or Gaming has been removed as it was rarely used and added unnecessary complexity to the UI. If you have any feedback or suggestions as to what you want seen done post it below.

we want vimeo videos! we want vimeo videos! we want vimeo videos! we want vimeo videos!

I have been around for quite some time.. I do love plug.dj very much and the community is great.

I understand that plug.dj is a chat interface that allows people to imbed youtube videos.. This is essentially what plug.dj is. The avatars and points are non-relevant at this moment.

I don't see this website being a bandwidth hog because of how it works. You get traffic, but its nothing compared to a video gaming server or any other website with embedded videos. In other words, it's nothing short of something a 120$ rented server can handle.

In the event of plug's immediate death, you guys ask for donations. Why? This is not the solution at all for saving this community.

Nobody cares about the development at this point, it's as good as dead unless you guys are lying.

Before all the ritz and glam of the huge developmental push you guys had, it was a working and operating community. Most of us just want to get on and listen to music.

You have a working website, we don't need development anymore... I don't see it being as important as keeping it alive. In other words.. Fire all the staff and just put the website up or make it open source so we can keep it alive since you guys fucked everything up so bad.

I've sent in two tickets in an attempt to get my account cancelled. The first time was before the new billing cycle. No cancellation, and I got billed anyway. I've opened two more tickets since then and I still can't get anyone to cancel my account. I just keep getting responses asking me if I'm sure I want to cancel and someone else telling me that they can't cancel my account because they don't have the tools to do it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this done?

With the uncertain future I am constantly online at the moment. More even than when I first discovered it. I would be very sad if the site really didn't survive :(

The bottom right hand corner of your screen has been changed to this to help make everything more accessable. Let us know what you think of the change and if you don't like it how it can be improved

Hello lads,

We have till the 28th to save plug. We're so close, and plug is way too important to most of us to let it go!

I've had some of the best times in my life so far being in Plug.dj, in the Tastycat room and in Nightcore-331. I don't want to loose all the friends and playlists, the music and all the great times i've had on the site. Many of you likely don't either.

I started using plug at the beginning of 2015, and since then have used it almost every day for at LEAST 4 hours. I love everyone and everything plug has done.

Please save plug. Just 1 dollar makes a difference. Subscribe and keep it alive!

The founder said this in the AMA thread:

"We are discussing making a new subscription tier for $1/month. If you are not a $1 subscriber, you can still use the site, chat, dj and vote, but you will only be able to have 1 or 2 playlists, and host 1 community with no staff. Once you become a $1/month subscriber, you can have what you have now. Unlimited playlists, 10 communities with staff, etc. For existing users, we would let them know that they have a limited time frame to sign up for the $1/month subscription."

"This is pretty extreme, I know. We're not exactly happy about the idea. I think a lot of people would get upset, as well. But what's more upsetting? $1/month or no plug.dj anymore?"

I do not think this would be unpopular at all. My own take is that Plug should move to a model that allows full functionality for X days and when a time period has passed, you should be asked to subscribe. You can carry on as a freebie account but you would be unable to dj, be restricted to default avatars and have no ability to create communities. That's not harsh. There's a period by which new users can interact like anyone else and see how Plug works and also, in that time, see if they like the service enough they want to contribute. I was concerned with some suggestions that immediately hurt newbies and prevented them from having any functionality as that would cripple new users but this solution, I think, is entirely reasonable. Donations are not working. Adverts will not work, cannot bring enough money in. You could have a tiered subscription system which gives more access to avatars and provides the perks we currently see and you could allow people to donate, kinda like reddit gold etc.

I do not think this is unpopular or awful like the founder seems to. Plug, just do it. Your current donation drive is unsustainable.

I am reminding everyone to adhere to rediquette, which can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette and to follow our r/plugdj Rules. You will be banned if you are breaking those rules. If you believe someone is breaking our rules please report the comment where they are breaking the rules and they will be dealt with accordingly.

Edit: It's disappointing that I've had to stick this again, we are a community, please treat each other with respect.

Post help on Kickstarter, or GoFundMe.

Have a huge sale on plug.dj where everything is 80% off.

Spread the news.

Pray and hope one of the gods answers

Donate money yourself if you really want it to survive. But I have a feeling it may die anyway.

RIP in pieces

Well, idk about most of the people who read this, and I know this is reddit, so the rape train of hate will start because of this. But from the nightcore room floats the idea of anime chars. We would love to see these <3.

When I enter the website all I see is a black screen I tried to refresh the page restart my PC nothing helps. Please help

[SOLVED]

The taxicab is the weirdest one I have ever seen on plug. Taxi Avatar Image

Interesting theme overall. The background is also very sharp.

Hi guys!

So a little background; I've been plugging with a group of very close friends since around 2012. We migrate from room to room, mostly based on boredom.

Anyway, recently I've been conceiving a game to play and was hoping for some feedback from this community in terms of how realistic it sounds, figured you guys might have some wisdom.

The idea would be similar to the Kevin Bacon parlor game:

• Every song played must relate to the last song in some way (ie, a musician from that song played on a song/album/studio session/notable concert with someone from the previous song.)

• Every subsequent song must also relate in some way to the first song as well (same restriction)

• You cannot play more than one song from any one artist. (Maybe no solo work as well. ie if Pink Floyd is played, No Syd Barrett. not sure if this would make it too hard or not yet.)

• Possible Variant Mode: An end destination for a quicker game. See how many moves it takes to get from like, Marty Robbins to Lady Gaga or something.

What do you guys think? yay? nay?
