[Wii] SONIC HAS A FUCKING SWORD

Well Shin, I'm glad you know so much about the site. Clearly your musical horizons are much broader than Larry's, despite the fact that he's the principal submissions evaluator and listens to thousands of VGM arrangements and source tunes every year.

You don't know anything about OC ReMix. You probably heard a handful of old remixes from 2000-2002 and assumed the entire library was like that - being the ignoramus that you are. We've posted everything from live jazz, gypsy solo guitar, piano sonatas, string quartet, New Age, ambient, and pop-rock to hip hop, Radiohead style alternative, heavy metal, ska, orchestral overture, and everything in between.

The reason we have less-than-stellar arrangements created using drumloops is because those songs were largely submitted in the early days of the site, at a time when music technology was significantly less widespread and affordable. Electronic music was by far the easiest thing to make and in fact one of the ONLY things the majority of hobbyist musicians could really submit. Times are much different now - we get submissions in all genres and really don't post much "90s Eurodance" at all. If you listened to everything on our front page, you'd hear that. However, you're a close-minded idiot, ergo, you won't.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

as a caveat I have nearly 5GB of OCR music on my drives and I think a lot of you do good work but this whole boo-hoo display reflects badly on the entire community

That's not really it. We get hated on all the time by people with no taste; it's inevitable when your music is posted on an extremely popular site. But when people are dissing the music when they don't actually know what it is, that's a different issue. It's like the people that said they weren't voting for Barack Obama because "he's a Muslim". That would be a valid (albeit stupid) criticism, if not for the fact that he's not a Muslim.

Likewise, OCR had a fair deal of dance music made in FL within the first few years of its founding. If you want to hate on that specifically, even though tens of thousands of people like it, fine, go ahead. But just don't try to paint our entire library as being only that kind of music, as our current selection of remixes is drastically different than it was in those early years.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Larry isn't thin-skinned at all, neither am I; but we'll call a spade a spade and get a good laugh out of it at the same time. We always love to hear absurd attacks and criticism of the site or the judges. The best is when we get completely opposite complaints, eg. people saying we don't post any techno or we don't post "real" techno, and are too biased towards non-techno music.

Anyway, like I said, this isn't an opinion issue, it's an issue of fact, and objectively speaking, OCR doesn't consist of 13-year olds making 90s eurodance with FL. The closest the site came to that was in the first few years it was around, since then the repertoire we've posted has been extraordinarily varied.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nah, the way Shin has been phrasing his posts, he's definitely painting OCR as it is now with that brush. If he hasn't visited the site in awhile or has only sampled a handful of tracks, that's not a basis to form a respectable opinion. It's like if I decided to criticize a website now for a design they used in 2003 when they've completely changed it since then. Doesn't make any sense.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It doesn't, but if it were a site I worked for I'd LOL about it with other staffers, then take the 15-30 seconds to let you know you're wrong. Larry summed this up better than me, though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Aight, so it's in everyone's interest for Shin to post ignorant diatribes, but anyone who succinctly points out he's wrong, that ain't kosher. I got it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Bleck the point of the internet is to complain about things I think, LIKE BEARS
