I'm out.

[suzumebachi]

I'm tired of this elitist crap. I've been a faithful OCR follower for nearly 6 years, a remixer for nearly 5, and they have the gaul to exclude me from their secret site projects? What the hell? I guess if you're not a member of the "clique" you don't count. Screw that. I'm done with OCR.

[Dhsu]

Someone's jealous...

[WesPip]

-UnMod didn't tip you off?

[Monobrow]

I am going to the next meetup afk until then

[SnappleMan]

It's okay. But you should know that only DJP and the rest of the judges have their call around here. That's most likely why they cancelled the FF7 project, very fucking funny...:\

Suzu and I talked about this in private. The "secret" project and that horrible song DJP(enis) posted are reason enough for me to leave as well.

Suzu and I have plans of our own. Soon OCR won't really matter to anyone.

[herograw]

say it ain't so D:

[Villainelle]

and they have the gaul

[Dark_T_Zeratul]

...They have the gaul...
I'm pretty sure they don't have western Europe, actually.

[Upthorn]

Soon OCR won't really matter to anyone.

Hahahahahahahaha. Nobody's gonna believe that.

[SnappleMan]

Who the fuck are you anyway?

Not like you need to know, but my friends Protricity and Digital Coma have been working on a site called The Lockdown for a couple years now. Suzu and I have joined up and development should be done as early as next week. I wouldn't go making idiotic assumptions if I were a n00b like you, it makes you look foolish.

Wait guys, I'm here to get my hat.


Ok I'm gone now.

EARemix respeckt.

[RoeTaKa]

You know, if my favourite remixers were leaving the site I supported, I'd want to be able to convince them that it shouldn't have to be that way...but it bloody well has too. I like suzu's work, he's a great musician, it's all your loss if you want to laugh it off. I already left a while ago, yeah I have a new mix on site but thats because these faggots take 6 months or so to even upload a song and write a short review with big interesting words.

This community, so fucking immature, selfish, irresponsible, I could keep going. I don't actually have any personal beefs with people here, but I know a farm of jackasses when I see one.

I look forward to The Lockdown guys.

[Mewtation]

wut .

[The Mutericator]

I guess now is as good a time as any to say it.

Suzumebachi, I've always hated you. Always. You're an asshat shtyjdgfgt without the jdg part. Which makes you a shtyfgt.

GTFO already.

[Dark Chocobo]

Now no, come gents and ladies, can't we all just settle out differences like good little Internet denizens, where we shout and bitch and TYPE IN ALL CAPS and call the other person a fag? That's the real way to settle this conflict.

[Habeas Porpoise]

Nobody here knows who I am. I've gone by a different username in the past, and I wasn't really active in the community anyway. But I've been following the video game remixing scene (particularly OverClocked ReMix) since sometime in mid 2000. So you can think of me as a quiet observer.

The biggest problem I see with the remixing community is the elitism and the clash of egos. Whatever. It's human nature. The problem is how it's handled. Let's just say a top down tyrannical system enforced by a panel of judges is the antithesis of what should be done.

The reason Overclocked ReMix remains the defacto in the video game remixing community is because there are no real alternatives out there... for now. All it will take is a user driven "web 2.0" kind of site, similar to the likes of digg.com and YouTube, for a rival alternative to spring and become the new defacto.

OCR will likely still be around for a long time to come as long as people keep interest. But will Overclocked ReMix be as relevant 2 years from now as it is today? Hardly. Overclocked ReMix is a site driven by community content, but the process of getting that content to the front page is so cumbersome, antiquated, and bureaucratic, that it frustrates so much of the community. It's no wonder so many people want to leave and support an alternative. It's too bad things like VGMix fall flat due to incompetance and lack of vision.

I have no idea what this "The Lockdown" site is, but if it takes a hint from today's highly successful community/user driven websites, it will quickly take off and become THE place for video game remixes.

[Murmeli Walan]

Hey Snapps and Suzu. Let me know when this "Lockdown" site goes live. If Prot and Binnie are willing, I'll transfer my entire dodge ball project over there. I've been dicked around by the OCR politics long enough. Me and my friends are the only people bumping my project thread, thanks to Larry moving practically every remix project back to Gen Disc or Community or whatever, despite me already getting the ok from darkesword to have the thread in Site Projects. And you know what else pisses me off? I've had Around the World in progress for over two fucking years just to get nearly HALF of the game's tracklist filled while John Q. Asshole makes a thread shouting "ZOMG MARIO 64 PROJECT! ZOMG POKEMON PROJECT! ZOMG FFVII PROJECT! ZOMG TETRIS ATTACK PROJECT!" and the tracklists for those projects fill up within a month. That's motherfucking bullshit. The popular games are filled up while a game with a good deserving soundtrack idles because nobody wants to listen to the goddamn nsf just because the game wasn't a Squaresoft RPG or because it wasn't a "mascot" game. Thank goodness for people like Sadorf and Rexy and chrono26 and everyone else involved with me who gave me a chance. That's more than what I can say for some others who were too busy dicking around with a remix of Bob-omb Battlefield or JENOVA's Theme or a trainer battle theme or whatever fucking music was in Tetris Attack to listen to a good soundtrack from a game series that hardly anyone outside of Japan gave a shit about. I guess people are just worried that because my project doesn't have any "OCR higher-ups" in it, it'll become another "Hedgehog Heaven" fiasco. Fuck you, I'll get this project off the ground with or without the judge panel circle jerk (or circle fingering, in pixie's case).

I'm begging you guys to help me out, here. Around the World will be a great remix project, just not on this site.

Real rant, or April Fool's post playing off what's been posted so far? You be the judge. ;)

[DragonFireKai]

Go-Go Lockdown!

[big giant circles]

I normally stay out of debates like this, but I'll just say to Suz, Snapple, Roe, and anyone else who has produced some great stuff, or is otherwise leaving on similar terms, I'm really sorry to see y'all go...

I can't say I wholly approve of the manner in which you're going about it, but I respect your decisions regardless. I'll simply say my peace by wishing you well, and good luck in your future projects and endeavors.

My greatest regret, as one of the newest judges and someone who generally doesn't participate in the OCR community via the public forums, I sincerely apologize that we the panel, but myself in particular, couldn't serve any of you any better...

[Arek the Absolute]

The lockdown eh? It could be like ocr 05! Just imagine it, a community that actually cares about the site that they are in, and no bastards there to ruin it.
When graylightning left here, everything changed for the worse. People got banned left and right for the most minor of things.

Also, I agree with Walan that site projects are getting crazy, but for a different reason. Everyone thinks that they can run one. There are so many here that it is just hilarious. When I created mine, only 4 or so were out, and I wanted something unique to join the ranks of site projects to add more flavor to it and not just make it a "remixing" project. When I saw Chrono Symphonic, it inspired me even more. A remix project that had a theme like it did was pretty cool. Now you see everyone and their grandmother thinking that they can run a site project. Worst part is, is that they are so god damn plain. Make them interesting at least. Show off your creativity skills, not just be a carbon copy of the style of KiC. How saddening is that.

Suzu, tell me if you are looking for a mod over there. I would always be willing to support and help out you guys, considering that unfortunately I can't here cause I am a "hot head" and obviously very unfair and biased. /scarasm

See you guys at the lockdown!

[SosusOCR]

Wow, you know its just a website, not a way of life!

[Decoy Octopus]

Another OCR meltdown, huh? Or are we just baiting the disgruntled?

[Hawkwing]

Wow, you know its just a website, not a way of life!

Yes but some people put a lot of hours of their free time to produce grade A mixes that dont get the respect they deserve. when you put your heart into something, and it is worth while, and doesn't get a chance it's just plain disrespectful.

[Atomic Dog]

See you tomorrow.

Not like you need to know, but my friends Protricity and Digital Coma have been working on a site called The Lockdown for a couple years now.

I look forward to making its accompanying parody site! I'm thinking, "The LOLckdown."

[Txai]

I wish the deletion of all my comments in Review forum. And please remove the avatars I did for the site as well.

Sorry. Txai.

All that stuff is now the intellectual property of David W. Lloyd. You ceded your claim to it when it was submitted.

Tough break, pal.

[Shadow Wolf]

LOLz. I'm gonna get in my Toyota and go drivin' over the mountains n' shit. Bye y'all.

[A-RoN]

I'm just here for the music now and the occassional post in the PPR sections. Reviews are few now. I'm not bragging that I have a cooler life or anything. I'm just a loner looking in through the keyhole.

[The Coop]

Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out, guys.

And could you get me a burger while you're out? I'll pay you for it when you come crawling back to OCR.

[Souliarc]

I can definitely say this one site has changed my life in a way. It inspired me to really dive into music and even go to school for it. I really appreciate all that has been done here, but sadly, my interest has waned due to my many endeavors offline. I loved helping out in the ReMixing section to give back to what was once given me, but now, it's simply time to move on. I would probably keep a steady interest here if a larger part of the demographic lived near me and I could go to a meet-up and actually meet the people who I've only interacted with through typography, but that's another sad reality.

It's an issue simply of priority and a need for person to person interaction. I just can't stand sitting here either when the weather feels so great outside and there's so many great people to actually meet! I will come back of course, visit the forums every now and then and get music, but for the most part my participation here will be of short duration. I always will have my OCRemix hoodie and tee, and will always sport them though!

Though my reasons for "leaving" are different from the original poster, I just wanted to let you all know how much I truly appreciate all that has been done here for me and the rest of the community. Just a few personal shoutouts to zircon, BGC, analoq, SGX, of course djp and to anyone who ever gave me a piece of advice, music related or not.

Thank YOU!

-Travis

p.s.: Let there ALWAYS be more judgehate.

Projects...Remixes...what? I'm just here for the competitions.

[megadave]

I would also like to have all of my contributions removed - my remixes, my avatars, and all of my comments and posts. Thanks for nothing DJP. I'm going to support The Lockdown from now on. I'm tired of being excluded from secret remix projects.

[Fenrir]

Loling at all this.

There is a lot of immaturity on both sides of this argument. I suppose I will just cross-post on the lockdown forums(you know they are going to be there)like I do everywhere else.

Oh, and most of Recapitated is shit.

You guys are sore losers, that's the reason you're whining while you leave. While you're away on your li'l project, maybe you'll grow some balls.

[Daniel Rydell]

Wow.

After reading the entirety of that topic, I feel as though I've lost a portion of my life that I can never get back.

Seriously folks.

If you don't like something, and you're gonna leave, just do. Nobody cares to hear anyone whining about this and that. Just go.

[Vig]

OCR will be a better place once everyone but me leaves. Then I'll finally get smoe fucking quiet around here.

[Murmeli Walan]

And could you get me a burger while you're out? I'll pay you for it when you come crawling back to OCR.

No prob. Is a double Whopper ok? I was probably gonna get a spicy chicken sandwich, myself. Then again, I may just go to Wendy's. They have a great spicy chicken sandwich, and chiki instead of fries is nice.

Speaking of sides, do you want a combo meal, or just the burger? Anything you don't want on it? And what about a drink? Is a Sprite alright with you?


...wait a sec, why was I going out again?

[Bummerdude]

All this negative comments lately has made me tired of this place.

[Daniel Rydell]

QFT. Going back to lurking and listening to remixes.

[Daniel Rydell]

Yeah, all right. Maybe I won't lurk.

[Frictional Antidote]

Ohh, those will always exist in community based websites.

[Conan The Politician]

I never knew enjoying the composition of and listening to music required so much delegation. Here's to hoping that you make better music by moving to another site, as I don't see the difference as long as there's something good to listen to.

*crawls back into a dark hole to lurk*

[Syka]

Yes, I whole-heartedly agree with you good chaps! The situation as of late has been patently ridiculous and I for one think that it is jolly well time that we vacate the premises to begin our own venture! Tally-ho, what what!


Jolly good.

[Martin Penwald]

Boom-Pow!!!

[CHz]

I can't believe that anyone would want to leave OCR just because of some petty disagreements! I mean, grow up people!

*looks at calendar*

Er, that is...

*ahem* Yes, I whole-heartedly agree with you good chaps! The situation as of late has been patently ridiculous and I for one think that it is jolly well time that we vacate the premises to begin our own venture! Tally-ho, what what!


Jolly good.
Don't joke about this sort of thing. Suzu finished his remix for the FF7 project a few days ago, and he was crowing in #ocremix about how it was the best song he ever made and he was surprised and proud of the fact that he actually managed to finish a song. And then, WHOOMPH. Not only does a secret project he was never invited to drop, but the old project in which he put so much time and effort was cancelled. From #ocremix:

[05:01am] SnappleMan: Joke?
[05:01am] SnappleMan: Why would I joke abouyt something this serious?
[05:01am] SnappleMan: It's not we didn't fucking know about the project.
[05:01am] SnappleMan: We were waiting to be invited.
[05:02am] SnappleMan: Zircon himself assured me a spot on it.
[05:02am] SnappleMan: Then they go and release earlier than planned?
[05:02am] SnappleMan: Fuck them.
[05:02am] RamaServ: Plus they canceled the FF7 project, AFTER suzu finally finished his song
[05:02am] RamaServ: he's pretty peeved about that apparetnly
[05:02am] SnappleMan: Wouldn't you be?
[05:03am] SnappleMan: I'm still working on my FF7 song regardless

As much as I think Suzu and Snapple are infantile sacks of smegma who think the idea of good remixing is slapping MIDI-ripped guitar peacockery on drumloops, they got serious nigger cock in the ass from zircon and crew. With OCR and its elitist, political maneuvering bullshit, VGMix never going to be up, and no one giving a rat's ass about OUS any more, The Lockdown might be the only place worth giving a damn about.
