What happened to the front page? (A1)

[Monobrow]

Man this is so annoying, I can't navigate OCR at ALL! You guys had better do something about this! If you're broke, just tell us, I might even buy a T-Shirt! I'm sick of this@ First the sidebar, now I can't even navigate the front page... And the what's with the judges'?

[Monobrow]

You haven't been around long enough to know the real problems of this site. This is my last straw, seriously. I come here EVERY DAY, the least they could do is make it work for me EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY.

Is that Prot in the FruityLoops photo?

Is this related to the gold accounts thing???

I still haven't got my money back!

[Sir_Downunder]

Anyone mind explaining what's goin' on with the front page? I'm not mad or anything, just really, really, confused...

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure the big one above it is that picture from MagFest where they deleted UnMod.

What happened to the front page?

Nothing. It is the same.

Wait. Now we can post our own stuff in the front page anytime we want?

Then it is much better.

[Fishy]

What are you guys talking about, the new layout is better then the new facebook!

[RedFusion]

Edit:



LOVIN' THE NEW LAYOUT GUYZ!

How bout' that romance section!!!

They're just doing collab on a remix, silly.

[Doulifée]

it work perfectly fine with a platinium account.

[Malaki-LEGEND.sys]

Hey, it doesn't have a sidebar.

[Strike911]

My facebook account doesn't work on the main page...

[Txai]

Hey, it doesn't have a sidebar.

And that is relevant how?

Now I can upload my own stuff to the front page. It's perfect.

[Brightstar]

Just pick your characters already...god

Considering the original song's length, I have to give it a thumbs up for effort.

[DarkeSword]

Thanks. Capcom asked me to make it a little more interesting for the new version.

Either that shirt is see-through and she has no nipples or she's wearing a beige bra with a white shirt...

Dunno which I find most laughable.

she wear a bra, you can see pattern behind the white shirt.

[Gorgonian14]

great now i miss vgmix again thanks guys

[Steben]

Look if you can't afford to pay your hosting bills, then I'm sure if you looked into sponsorship or something that you could find a way to keep the site afloat.

I've noticed that EA likes to buy up smaller companies... DJP, you should give them a ring.

[big giant circles]

So long, guys, I'm getting out while I can. For all we know it could be a C&D. Catch those of y'all who know me on Steam.

[Palpable]

What an awful day. First OCR is squatted, then bugmenot (http://www.bugmenot.com/) decides to start requiring registration. :-(

[Txai]

great now i miss vgmix again thanks guys

Missing the good things are a good thing.

[ProjectSpam]

I didn't relaize Obama was taking control of OCR in addition to the car companies. Guess it had to happen. The site really started going down the drain for the past year.

BTW, the new layout is great - I got a new free Hindi ring tone!

I am sorry, but this (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/search.php?searchid=1394168) proves the opposite.

You called me 'bro' once. If you call me 'bro', then you know me.

What a horrible memory you have, judge.

Looks like someone forgot to pay their hosting bills :)

I can buy it for you for now, before someone else gets it. Then when you're ready I can sell it back... for a "premium" ;)

[Narroo]

Has the homepage been hacked? Going to ocremix.org sends you to a generic site filler, as if you typed in the wrong address. This happens when you comes via google too, so...hack?

[Gario]

The new layout is awesome...

...and people ranting insanely look FOOLISH!!!

We had a good run guys! Back to normal now.

Because.

Were you...hoping for some sort of super-detailed explanation? :lol:

This is what I was expecting from you, Larry.

I am disappointed.

[Rambo]

This is what I was expecting from you, Larry.

I am disappointed.

Firstly, if this is what you were expecting then you shouldn't be disappointed.

Second... I thought this feud between you two was the real April fools joke. It is, right? :|

NO

I am disappointed because I was expecting a super-hyper-ultra-detailed explanation from Larry.

[Txai]

You're disappointing me, Tamer.

This is why I hate you.

But I also hate you because you are a judge.

And you reject great arrangements by nitpicking.



This is how Larry rejects a song:



The kick lacks punch and the french horn is a bit mediocre for my tastes.

NO



Even if the sequencing ideas were great, he still complain about a couple of samples.



Get some gigasamples, bro.

NO

[Kyle Nin]

I didn't fall for it. Since it was April 1st, I was expecting something.

Yeah, I was actually disappointed with this year. I get that it takes some planning and organization to pull this sort of thing off, but come on, EAMix was just god damn good. The letter from EA threatening to sue... icing on the cake.

Also, A1 banning for saying April fool's in topics... was that a script of some kind, or were you guys actually camping the forums for people?

[Txai]

The greatest dupe was in 2006. It pretty much fooled a lot of people (including myself) because it was a more serious subject. Also, every time anyone mentioned the word 'April Fools' the moderators came and deleted all our posts.

There was a lot of people posting, there was a lot of people complaining. This is what did it so fun and hilarious. If I recall the joke was so good it was still active for a small period of the next day.

2005 was great and so was 2006. The rest was meh, imo (did they even do anything last year?).

Epic indeed. I lost that super awesome remix that went up that day too... someone gimme it.

Here (http://www.fileupyours.com/view/149382/Road_Rash_Sierra_Nevada-Tan_Oc_ReMoved.mp3) and if you're interested, there was this one (http://www.fileupyours.com/view/149382/Madden_NFL_2005_Pigskin_Power_EA_ReMoved.mp3) too.

[evktalo]

I was fooled for a good while. Saw the front page, thought "what?!", went somewhere else, came back later to see if djp had sorted it out or something, still there.. rinse, repeat. Then I actually started looking at the links and stuff, and realized that it was actually djp in the "stock photo." I thought it was marvellous.

That wasn't Dave in the stock photo.

Also, Txai doesn't realize that I don't care about French horns, I care about snare drums. No one gets those right.

As far as this year's joke goes, we're busy people. So we had fun doing a simple cybersquatted page. Definitely got emails from people asking if we'd be hacked or got pwnt by Conficker, so mission accomplished!

[1337 1]

That was my first thought. Then I realised that it was still April 1 overseas.

Kudos to being the only site I know (thus far) that actually bothered to do something for april fools :tomatoface:

Hehe, my bad. Definitely looked like him, to me at least. :-)

I've got to admit, I didn't see it until someone on the forums posted about it because my bookmarks point straight to the forum. :/

Great April Fools! I was expecting it, but it sure looked convincing at first glance!!!!

Every ban on OverClocked ReMix is handled by a real live person who tailors the ban specifically to you, the end-user.

OverClocked ReMix values customer service as priority #1. This is why we will never automate bans.

[Gollgagh]

What, people actually got banned yesterday?

I don't even

[The Mutericator]

It's effectively the same thing as the post deletions from previous years. I know I didn't figure out why people weren't noticing that it was April Fool's a few years ago during the "EARemix" thing until I posted to warn everyone and then got my post deleted.

How long were the bans, Darke?

[Gollgagh]

How long were the bans, Darke?

until you start noticing the people complaining getting banned for A1

Just a day, possibly less. Everyone who was banned for trying to ruin the joke has been unbanned by now, I think.

If you are still banned, and you believe it is by mistake, please post here to alert the moderators.

A1-09 was pretty good, but it needed more supporting cast. Because the site was down, a lot of people didn't get a chance to venture to the forums, so there were a lot less, "WTF?" posts than there should have been (except LukeX). What's worse, there weren't a lot of people continuing the joke. This is what really makes the OCR A1 jokes the best around. Monobrow did a great job, but it needed more people.

I thought Fatal's Sims 2 ReMix project was really great and could have fooled a lot of people, but again, not many people got to the forums to see it.

Also, it needed more Vibe and Scene. Like, +1 Vibe and Scene.

[Doulifée]

you forgot Liontamer

it was on purpose.

On the subject of A1 bans:

Every April 1st we end up deleting a load of posts, threads, and temp-banning accounts. Why do these people feel the need to spoil the joke? Yes, you figured out it's April Fools Day, and you didn't get fooled! Good for you! So why jump on the forum and start telling everyone? Give people a chance to be fooled, to maybe figure it out themselves. :\

Agreed! Better yet, maybe you should jump on the forums and perpetuate the joke. There are two sides you can be on! You choose:

(A) Insist that the joke is not a joke. Say how much you loved the Sims 2 remix project. Include a why. Argue with those who say that the quality is lacking. I.E.: see most judges/moderators A1 posts.

(B) Pretend you're still fooled and try to look as idiotic as possible. Whine and complain about how angry and inconvenienced you are. Yell at the people in charge. I.E.: see Monobrow.

To be more clear, I was fooled for a while. Then I saw a post from someone else that didn't get deleted in time and I made another post saying that it just seemed too convenient to announce the project on A1. It's not like I was trying to spoil the fun.

[Gollgagh]

announce the project on A1

ooooooooh

that's why it's A1 sauce http://remod.cakearmy.org/images/smilies/icon_ugly.gif

"Hop in the damn car!" LOVE IT!

Great prank guys! I really should've perpetuated it. Next year, I promise.

I missed out on the "EARemix" prank. I DO remember the "Sonic: Recapitated" project. That had me fooled for so long. Probably because I hadn't yet listened to djp's "Love Hurts" remix. If I had, I would've known in a heartbeat.

One more time!
