Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the first time we did something for April Fools Day. Granted, our first one was rather silly.
For those of you who missed April Fools day here this year, there were actually multiple things going on:
The front page was replaced with a retro 90s looking page.
The forums were replaced with a WWWBoard. Incidently, this is located in the same spot our General Message Board WWWBoard was located in the late 90s.
The music listings for both the music sections and new-files had the most subtle change... it wasn't obvious when you first looked, but when you clicked a link it linked you to the wrong file.
One of these days, I need to make a complete archive of all the April Fools Day gags we've pulled over the years...

As a music site, I thought it would be appropriate to post this here.
If you've installed iTunes on your computer, you probably installed Apple Software Update as well.
Starting this week, Apple has added the Safari web browser to Apple Software Update. What this means is
- If you have iTunes or Quicktime installed
- Apple Software Update will try to get you to install Safari by masquerading it as an update.
To disable the Safari "Update"
- Start the Apple Software Update program
- Make sure only Safari 3.1 is checked
- Click the Tools menu
- Choose "Ignore Selected Updates" from the menu
Unfortunately, you will have to do this each time a new version of Safari is released.
As a semi-official policy, VGMusic.com recommends the Firefox web browser on all platforms.

I have just finished implementing and testing an emailing function in our archive updating scripts. When an updater adds (or deletes) a submission from the new-files, an email will be dispatched to the submitter notifying him/her of the addition/deletion. If the updater has any specific comments about the submission, those will also come with the email.
Please note that you must enter a valid email address when submitting something, otherwise you will not receive anything.
The email address that these notifications will be sent from is noreply@vgmusic.com. Be sure to take appropriate measures to assure that these messages are not flagged as spam. As the name implies, if you try to send an email back to noreply, you won't get one back. Any queries regarding updates should be posted on the Bug Reports, Corrections, and Suggestions board.

At 8:20 EST today, the new-files directory officially hit 0 for the first time in.. well.. forever! The previous new-files excursion that took place in August/September last year fell short at around the 1,000 mark - but not this time.
Thanks to Powerlord, Secret Agent Man and Daniel Lawrence for their assistance. Needless to say, I am mentally exhausted!
Additionally, feel free to point out any errors/inconsistencies you may have noticed on our Bug Reports, Corrections and Suggestions forum. I suspect there are more than a few; that's where we need your help.
Now, let's have some actual new-files that aren't from 2005. Happy sequencing!
