No, but as someone who has over 45 500 posts, they do have control over an obviously significant part of your life. Weirdo.

Indie cred.

And yet when a mod jokes about abusing their mod-like powers it doesn't actually breed resentment because there's barely a social difference between mods and members.

But if there's a problem with this particular track, then why even bother to talk about it?

I mean, if you're publishing something with your friends, then why would you want to publish t someplace else entirely on your own?

I believe that hasn't always been the case. Some of the people who spend a lot of time on forums aren't always the most socially well-adjusted. A lot of them are gonna be weird, a little awful or out of sorts on occasion, but it doesn't mean their presence on the forums isn't net positive.

With such members, we've had some situations that turned more volatile than I thought necessary. They may have ended with long time members getting permabanned, people for whom MB was obviously an important part of their life. These guys were in large part to blame for the behaviour that got them banned, but sometimes it didn't help that a mod leaned into the drama and fanned the flames. It's not great to escalate a conflict where you're safe, but your opponent risk banishment from perhaps the only online community where they feel included.

I agree that jokes about bans or abusing mod powers can be fine, but a lot of people read these posts and it's not that unusual for someone to not get the joke or for an argument to start. You know how much we like to argue and misconstrue etc. here.

I always thought modding should be done at some emotional distance. You're doing it as a service to the users of the board, not for your own benefit. So your actions should reflect that.

I'm doing it for the bitches, personally.

Y does my thread have to go off the rails b nice to one another peace love and music banter

You're actually a ****ty mod though.

back to topic
I never recorded anything before. If I can get something down on tape before the deadline, what's your address or P. O. box so I can mail you the tape cassette? ... or are you looking for reel to reel master tapes?

Aw man I was hoping this thread was popular because of the collab happening. I was wrong.

It is happening if u go back a few pages

Uhh i mean u can just send me a wav file I’ll dub them myself

It's just what's going on in my life musically and what's on my mind. I think it's turning out great, am proud of it and want people to hear it. Hence, I dabbled with the idea of making it my submission. In the old days (zip with mp3s), that would've been fine. MB comps usually haven't been about publishing.

I hadn't thought it all the way through. It was a moment of vain weakness, but it has passed. I'm prepared to not mention it again if people stop bringing it up.

what video game is your avatar from?

It's Guybrush Threepwood hanging above an acid pit in LeChuck's torture dungeon in Monkey Island 2, a predicament he gets out of by well-aimed spitting.

Neat :)

Also known as either the Phlegm Master, Captain Loogie or Jucious Maximus the third.

I made a point and click game u should buy it on cd :) and every forum member lulzor

Has anyone sent in tracks yet? I haven't been checking that email recently

we shud just make a google drive prolly

I haven’t yet
What I did have was a question:

How many tracks is one allowed to submit?

What’s a prolly?

*probably haha I use weird slang qauirky like that

uh probably one track per person cassettes are limited for space but as it fills up we can talk about adding other tracks

Deadline is soon...



Forgot when I said it was but looking forward to publishing this either just digitally or on cassette too

It was December 31st

Two months away

Looks like my demented bonus track offering isn't happening, I really don't see myself managing to write and record a song before the end of the year unless a miracle happens

R we still doing this?

Yes!

I can send you the track in a matter of days

Would you give your E-mail again?

Sent you the address thru a PM, though I’m not sure how many others are interested

Yeah, not much action going on around here

At worst (best?), we can do a collab 50/50 :)

What if I wrote the music and you’d write the lyrics/record
the vocals?

A collab!! Possibly lol I have like 4 collabs in the works at the moment, we could make it a split possibly with a bunch of pre-existing tracks? Or I could upright just sign you to my label if you wish.

Lol sure
You can write the lyrics too if you want

It's the new years soon if not already in some places I'm not sure how time works but anyways at this point I'm planning for the comp to be a four way split (or tie) between myself, Frownland, Mucha na Dkizo, and YorkeDaddy. We can fill up an hour of material so a little less than 15 min a person so it'll all fit on tape, it can be and I would probably prefer already released tracks as well as new ones if ya got em laying around, I'd especially be interested in hearing a song with Marie on it as well!

just to be clear it's only been set up this way out of people who've shown interest. If you want to be included just lmk and we can figure out how I can get the tracks in.

Would you send me your E-mail? So I could send you some backing tracks?
You’ll se if you like one

I mean, you can sign me to your label

I’m not sure what would it change in my current carreer

Wow, I’ve got a label now! :beer:

I'll pm you, let's do this

Let’s aim for a February/March release of something mayhaps?

rather march

I'm actually preparing some tracks to send to Abbey Road as my portfolio
I can send you those when I'm done
