Level 99 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 OCR was formed on December 11th, 1999. In a few day, the ol' girl turns 12 years old. I thought that I was blown away by how awesome the 10th year anniversary festivities were. I'm now looking back on this past year and can't help but think HOLY SHIT did a lot of stuff happen. So I'm thanking everyone who's taken part, be it as staff, musician, artist, videographer, forum member, listener, or whatever. This community exists and grows because of you all and it wouldn't be the same if even one of you weren't involved. Here's some statistics I could pull together for you all to mull over. From 12/5/10 to 12/6/11: Mixes posted: 200 New artists posted: 60 Albums posted: 11 Conventions attended: 6 New forum members: 2493 ReMixes with at least 1 more review: 1004 Original Albums released: 2 New Staff Members: 3 New Judges: 3 Amount of money shoved down my shirt during panels: ~$114 Hammer sandwiches eaten by Larry: 0 Notable accomplishments: Switched IRC networks (for less banning and great justice) December is Reviews month started OCR's 20th & 30th Album posted within a year of each other First PSP remix posted First Sega Pico remix posted OCR Live! formed, performances at 4 conventions (3 if you don't count the Brits. TAKE THAT!) Considerable progress has been made towards the next forum revision (we swear blogs will eventually exist) $7514 raised during Support OCR Month alone! OCR youtube account suspended and brought back in less than a week Interviewed Nobuo Uematsu at Distant Worlds Chipamp updated for the first time since the invention of sliced bread Inbox Queue burned through to within a month of submission. Judges and Workshop Mods struggling to keep up. OCR's FIRST international panel at the UK London Gaming Con. I'll be adding to this list as people give more noteworthy things. A special thanks to all staff members for making this one of the most productive years ever. Though a lot of the work is invisible, you can not be thanked enough for your tireless efforts. *sniff* I love you guys (and gals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernabogue Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Congrats OCR! And this year was my very first OCR official participation with the release of BadAss, so it is very special for me! Thanks to the whole team/staff and keep making AWESOME stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow, ten albums. I knew we had more than usual, but ten? Is that counting Bad Ass, it just came out? 12 years, and I've only been around for about eight of them. We should get prizes for sticking around and putting up with this place for that long.

WillRock Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I agree with everything here except this: OCR Live! formed, performances at 3 conventions (4 if you count London) If? IF?? We put on a show for you, you slimey ungrateful gits! Not to mention it was the first international OCR appearance EVER. So you should count us! Seriously tho, not a bad year overall, well done everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Having only been around for three of OCR's illustrious 12 years, I can still say that it amazes me the level of quality, creativity, and real, absolute love that goes into every song that makes it onto the site and the various albums. What a crazy year this has been (for me, as well), and here's to many, many more! Keep clockin' in those ReMixes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, I changed it to hopefully make you happier Edit: Wow, ten albums. I knew we had more than usual, but ten? Is that counting Bad Ass, it just came out? No, it didn't. Now its 11. Someone stole money out of your shirt during a panel? No, that's the amount of people who stuffed money down my shirt during panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 No, that's the amount of people who stuffed money down my shirt during panels. I thought that at first, but I was confused why there was a minus sign in front of it. I've never seen an OCR panel before - when do people stuff their money down your shirt?

djpretzel Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 FRA-JEE-LAY... it must be French! Anyways, thanks to Stevo for the post - the stats don't tell the whole story, and there were things we wanted to get done and didn't, to be sure, but we posted a LOT of mixes, and a LOT of albums, and the year ain't even over yet, so I feel like we did a pretty damn good job.
