Introducing the new contribute system
Hi Awesome Community,
We are stoked to announce that we've released our first version of the new contribute section. You will now be able to report shows that are missing in our database. This brand new section can be found on followmy.tv/contribute. We are looking forward to adding all those missing TV shows to fuel everyone's couch potato lifestyle! :D
This is our first step towards moving followmy.tv to a more community driven database. We believe that having our own data in the future is the way forward to prevent data loss.
Small update: There is a bug with oreign language shows and shows without airdates that prevents them from being imported. We are working on a fix for these. In the meantime, those shows are kept in pending review until the bug is fixed. Our apologies for this inconvenience!

@kakature http://followmy.tv/shows/48299/Liefde_voor_muziek is nog niet gelinkt aan tvdb (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=293713&lid=13)
@kakature Alloo in de buitenlandse gevangenis (http://followmy.tv/shows/47674/Alloo_in_de_Buitenlandse_Gevangenis) mag gelinkt worden aan tvdb (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=292332&lid=13) Merci
Is there a way I can see a list of all shows I follow? The "Show list" seems to list only shows with TBA as next episodes (and it lists shows quite some show that ended with that TBA mark by mistake I think) but it does not list all the ended shows. The Good Wife is the only show on there that is listed with "no episodes left" there. But all kinds of shows like Lost, Six Feed Under ... to name 2 examples are not listed on my show list. Probably because they are old and have no data in the database. I think it just list all shows one follows.
@kakature Can you add APB (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=311819), The Good Fight (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=320766), and Great News (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=311899)? I have them as "pending review" since December 30. They all have airdates.
@kakature Mijn pop-up restaurant moet nog gelinkt worden aan http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=312781&lid=13. Dank.

Asked Lemon to run the updater again indeed. She told me it should run more often from now on!
@Gaceru: I added those. I don't know what I can do with shows without a title :(
Remember guys, if there is no air date known, I can't add it. So there are a lot of shows in there without a known airdate as of today. You can message me if your show is still not added but an airdate is known.
@kakature Hi, there are some shows that already aired that I suggested long time ago (before your return to the site) that aren't in the site (like Nightcap, El Marginal or Paquita Salas) can you add those?
Also, can you update the show SuperMansion and fix these two shows?

Thank you very much!
@kakature A couple of shows have suddenly had a flood of old episodes. I assume that was your work? If so, thank you again.
Any word from the sites founders? Or have they given up?
@Kakature Blijkbaar nog iets mis met Lotgenoten. Heeft geen titel en als ik op een aflevering klik, krijg ik een error page.
@kakature Thank you very much! You are a star!!
@kakature nope :(
@ForgotMyLines I could be mistaken but it looks like the importer hasn't run since 02/01 (10 days ago). I'll try to contact Lemon and see if there is anything we can do. (thx to @SilentAlarm)
@PippoInzaghi did you get in touch?
This is getting really stupid now!! So many shows haven't updated for weeks!
Shows are getting added (thank you @Kakature ) but with no episodes.
This site seems to be coming to a standstill!
I'm getting a bit pissed off I donated a good sum to this site!
@PippoInzaghi Jammer genoeg niet, probeer anders eens op Twitter?
@kakature Weet jij een manier om lemon te contacteren, op mijn mail antwoordt ze alleszins niet.
@kakature Thank you for the regular correspondence. It's really refreshing.
@kakature Enig idee hoe ik ook kan solliciteren voor admin, want heb zin om al die data eens onder handen te nemen.
If there is no 'Start Date', I can't approve the show (because of a server error).
Make sure to add it to TVDB or in the comments when suggesting a show.
It's better to wait for a proper 'start date' to suggest a new show.
A few tips for people contributing:
If you create a show on TheTVDB, please make sure to supply as much info as possible.
Especially time zone, local air time, network, country, title and description. I think this improves importing.
EDIT: And especially for foreign shows, it's hard for me to Google Norwegian or Croatian shows for example.
If you don't see the info on TVDB, add it in the "Why should we add this show to our database?" comment section please.
@Saxo I know it's been happening a long time but I don't know since when exactly! Also I don't think this sites makes money to even pay for the servers unfortunately :p
