Yes, 2 days extra.

Maybe it's just me and my old school ways, but a forum that celebrates an art form, yet provides its users little in the way to use art on it, seems off. I get that the "clean" look is what some want. Lots of businesses do. But OCR isn't really a business in the typical sense of boardroom meetings and company-use-only forums. It's a site about video games, video game music, and the remixes of said music. It's a site that sets out to celebrate the personalities of the music that's used to help create the moods, moments and scenes we'll remember experiencing years from now. So why take such a large chunk away from the personality of the forums and its users? I can understand limiting file sizes, image dimensions and what they might link to. Links to Pornhub, Pirate Bay or something isn't the best thing to have show up again and again whenever someone posts. Nor is a shrunken image of something questionable. But getting rid of them entirely just seems a bit much in my opinion.

I've been around OCR since the logo was blue and I've got to be honest, I think you're being misled by the same UsErExPeRiEnCe clique that's behind most horrible UI decisions that actual users utterly despise. With social media and tech being the way it is today we're seeing more than ever an extreme gulf between what "experts" and self proclaimed thought leaders say customers and users want and the reality. You see this everywhere from phones to computers to pop culture, just compare the "critic" score to the user score on almost any major mainstream release on rotten tomatoes for the past decade.

Hello all! To those unfamiliar, Dwelling of Duels is a monthly VGM cover competition. Competitors anonymously submit redone versions of game music based on a monthly theme and the entries are voted upon by the community. We just launched a Patreon to help us get some $$$ together so we can pay the visual artists who create our banner artwork each month. Once we reach a decent amount, we hope to put the excess money to use on other things in the future (More prizes? Licensed song releases? Physical compilations? Who knows!). It would mean a lot if anyone tossed us a buck or two, especially since so many great OC Remix tracks have started their lives as DoD submissions! https://www.patreon.com/dwellingofduels And also, check out our competition and submit an entry sometime

Ha! Totally worth it!

Sorry

Soooo somehow the deadline is... tomorrow? How did that happen?? I may not be participating in this one after all
