great work and idea

but i wouldn't call it rarewares anymore. i would call it audioware or something. when i gave the link of the old rarewares site to some of my friends who are new to ogg vorbis for example they didn't really trust it because of the name "rarewares" and the url. they prefered using some outdated version (of oggdropxd for example) from the official vorbis site instead of using the updated ones from rarewares. just a suggestion from my experiences...

yup...


like R. say.. 1. 2.
+
a third issue.. am pretty shure..(w00t)  the "rare"
comes out of "not-so-very-common-to-come-by"..

but now when the site is under HA.
a namechange is possible.. but me
personally.. kinda like the name..
and wouldn`t change it.
the tools provided.. isn`t average
user stuff yet..

HA. isn`t yet SO known.. 
(the name & knowledge.. maybe..but not the url..)
a little more PR. is due.. me think..

2nd - RareWares isn't only audio anymore. Since some months ago, I have been hosting video binaries (You can find them at the MPEG4 section)

Call it mediawares then

Yes I already know that IE is retarded.

This doesn't mean that you should deliberately make your site look weird for 95% of your viewers.

As Ruairi has put border="0" on every other hyperlinked image, I suspect this was just overlooked for the main logo.

I just tested the site with IE 6, and I guess john33 fixed the problem except for the "Lossless" page.

Edit: BTW, I loved it. Good job.

Actually the site was called RareWarez at the very beginning (only a few minutes AFAIR ) till someone suggested to change it.

Great work.

And then, there was the RareWare idea - but that's a british video game producer - now nearly defunct. (you probably know them by Donkey Kong Country)

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback!

The site maintenance has been handed over completely to Roberto so hopefully he can sort out any issues people are having.

We'll be watching this thread for sure, and if Roberto has issues implementing some of the suggestions, for sure I'll be willing to help sort it out.

I also hope Roberto will consider revising some of his recommended suggestions, maybe they are a little out of date. The first thing we wanted to acheive was to get the site sorted and live, now that it is, we'll try to make it as useful as possible for our users.

Thanks once again for all the feedback, it has been tremendously encouraging for me!

Rarewares is really hard for me to say for some reason. I can't even say it two times back to back without messing it up

[edit] I too think the name should be changed compleately.  And no, not because I have trouble saying it

Kudos for the very convenient and elegant design

My only "complaint" has to do with the chosen font...even though the site doesn't use much text, still I find it difficult to pay attention to the description of the programs (the FAQ seems OK) after a while. Verdana or Aria would be better, but since I'm the only one bringing this up, don't even consider it.

Keep up the good work guys...we all appreciate your effort.

No, we've already bombarded rjamorim and rc55 with the "use sans-serif" talk in the chatroom. You're not alone.  rc55 will look into it.

I was about to mention the font too, but seeing as its already an issue raised i'm happy to wait for the outcome! Great site though btw!

Georgia... Serif Fonts...
Look good on print....
But bad on screen...

Cool, i won't have to keep searching for Johnn33 to find his link to it anyymore as i always forgot to bookmark it!!



On another topic, i don't wan't to sound picky and i may be completly wrong about this an missunderstood what was being implied but doesn't hte RareWares FAQ break the Hydrogenaudio Terms of Service? See below:

Rarewares FAQ --
4. - Do you know where I can get (place your wanted piece of audio warez here)?

    Look for a guy called aradzish. That's all I can say.


Hydrogen Audio TOS --
9. Links to copyrighted or illegal material, discussion containing information of how to obtain such material, bypass protection methodologies of such material, or otherwise violate laws pertaining to such matters, will not be tolerated.

Basically all you have to do is type in that name into google and you come across a russian site that, although i can't read Russian, is distributing "(place your wanted piece of audio warez here)" applications.




Again Sorry if i'm incorrect,

Kristian

Kritip,

Good observation. As you may or may not know Rarewares is a straight text dump of the existing site, so that slipped through. I'll give Roberto a nudge.

Cheers,
