I try to space mine out because I'd have a meltdown, too. lol Right now I'm doing a trade of 70 discs... :sweat: And as you know, I never choose the amount. It's a bit hefty...

Ouch!

I have to reorganise my discs. I had to buy another DVD binder the other day :sweat:

Im into shelves.... :beaten:

@Wyn-chan- 70 dvds? :sweat:

My biggest trade ever was only 65. :beaten:

I've pretty much given up as far as storage is concerned.

After building and filling two 16 drawer filing cabinets (each drawer holds approximately 10 series) I've taken to just leaving series in spindles. I can get around a dozen series on a 100 disc spindle, so I've got 5 of those sitting in a corner... and just 3 or 4 boxes of other uncatalogued series sitting in a closet.

I'll never be able to dig myself out of this ridiculous hobby.

Eventually I think I'm gonna have to turn the back wall of my computer room into a set of shelves.

All of which will be easier to do than trying to update my list... something I haven't touched in over a year and a half.

Sheesh!

Shelves is the way to go and keep it all alphabetized most easily, for me that is. I have a room dedicated to it. And another room for just anime. :bonk: Small rooms. ;)

I traded that for many years until I got hooked on jdrama by accident.
A friend said I should check it out and sent me a few VCDs. :beaten:

But the list updating thing..... makes me shudder..... :shocked:

That's why I altered that script I use for JDramas... it's so much easier than trying to do it with HTML :grumble:

70 discs?? That's freaking insane!! And the rest of you guys are insane with your drama collections. I shouldn't talk because I have a large collection myself. :sweat: But I actually slowed down my trading (only trading for Jdramas now) and just announced it on my site the other day. Maybe I should do that for my trading thread as well.

On topic: Resting and visiting messageboards.

I'm on my sixth one right now. For a while I stayed low with trading, but then suddenly there were a wave of people who found my site via google... :sweat:

LOL! :doh: I've never done a trade this large before. It was actually 90 discs, but I asked if we could trade for 20 first, since it was my first time trading with him. But he's grand. And I can't say no.

On Topic: Feeling tired and bored... and unproductive. And a little depressed. This has not been a good week for me...

The first one I bought holds, like, 464 discs. It's way too big and cumbersome. The other 2 hold about 240, much better :victory:

Wow, sounds like me... :glomp:

I've got 4 binders (hold 320 discs each) for jdramas but the last one is only 2/3 full or so, 2 for kdramas, and one for Taiwanese dramas. I've also got three smaller ones for movies. I have to keep everything organized in alphabetical order. :sweat:

You mean you have to shuffle everything if you get a new drama? :sweat:

I briefly considered that but it sounded like too much trouble...

marspeach wrote:. I have to keep everything organized in alphabetical order. :sweat:

Id never be able to find anything otherwise. :sweat:

Maybe I'll post a pic of the collection :hehe:

That can be a problem... but it's a pain with the binders.

Yeah, i'd love to see it :)

Glad I could amuse you, Evie. :mrgreen:

I have no idea how many dramas I have. Last I remembered, it was about 300, but I haven't touched the list for months. :sweat: I should get off my lazy butt and update my site/list.

Stop the crack! I finally weaned myself off of it...sorta. :sweat: Oh wait, don't stop before I get in another trade with you. :mrgreen:

Aw, I hope you feel better soon, Wyn. :hug: I've been feeling a bit on and off myself. I wonder if it's hormonal or something else.

I tried doing the alphabetized thing, but I didn't want to shuffle things around so I quickly gave them up. Now I have everything (sorta) alphabetized in boxes and it takes me forever to find what dramas I need. I don't think there's a really good way of organizing dramas. Unless I put them in categories like "Good," "Crappy," "Pretty Boy," etc. Something makes me think that the latter two categories might have an overlap though. :beaten:

On topic: Just killing time till going out to dinner.

Yeah but sometimes I need stuff like that to do. I just need it alphabetical.

OT: Cringing from the pain.

Deleting spam. :smack:

@Wyn-chan- Feel better. That big trade should cheer you up ;)

@AD- I'll take a pic later. :hehe:

OT: Off to the post office.

OT: Emptying our closets.
