MLR has been adopted!

[ExoBassTix]

It's been for around two years now I believe that the 25-char rule got applied to the forum. Initially people got annoyed and fake-annoyed by it because it was fun at the time and eventually, like a month after I believe, people didn't even notice anymore. How is it that one person talking about it makes people annoyed by it again xD

Should we go bother Simon to return? :P

i was always annoyed by it i just havent said anything recently cause it didnt seem like the mods would do anything. but now that we have new admins maybe they will change it?

I think it was applied because of the Spam Thread (one of the many things that made me want to burn this site). It prevented people from making one-word posts, posts which made the thread that all the more difficult to sift through and moderate. There were some horrible things that people got away with posting there.

Anyway, now that MLR is here to stay, I'll take my leave. I have 100% confidence in the new owners, and should anything serious come up, they know where to find me.

Pardon the upcoming negativity, but I hope I've earned the right to be candid with you all.
This place has been an emotional rollercoaster the last few years. It's been one of the more ambitious and interesting things I've done, but also one of the most difficult, and pointlessly so. Circumventing hurt feelings, entitlement, destructive egos, and that whole episode with you know who, made me wonder why I was spending time I could be putting toward something else. This silly music forum about candy horses.

I still have mixed feelings. I probably always will. There are people here who hurt me pretty bad. And if I'm being perfectly honest, there was a lot more bad than good. There was an incredible amount of pressure put on me, in some of my most difficult years outside of this site. I hope you can't blame me for sputtering out and ignoring the site for so long. At the time, I just couldn't bring myself to care.

but

In the end I wouldn't have it any other way. Most of the friends I have on the internet I made right here. I got to participate in the funding of building a village in Uganda. I got to help donate thousands to charity. I got to facilitate a safe place for people to be themselves (even if that backfired a lot), master their craft, and make friends with eachother. I got to help people come together to do the things they love and talk about the things they love.

So to that end, I think this has been worth it. it was good for everyone else. And that's all I wanted in the end.


Keep in mind that if you send me PMs asking me to do a thing for you, I won't be there to do the thing.

It's been a hell of a ride just from the time that I've been here, I wish I could've joined eariler in the creation of the site to get better aquatinted with you! I hope that your future is well whatever it brings.

thank you for everything you've done for us

[ExoBassTix]

Thank you very much for the effort you've put in the forum. Regardless of if it could've been better or worse, I'm happy to be an MLR member. The bad stuff that happened, too bad, but it's in the past, and I believe that for most it is too. The friendships are to stay.

Oh, now I see this.
Hello new overlords.

ExoBassTix:

I still think it'd be a good idea to create a MyLittleRemix community Facebook group. What're your thoughts on this guys (looking especially at you, new site owners)?

Speaking as myself, I'm not too keen on splitting the community between too many methods of communication, and Facebook is hard to search for old threads and its closed nature also prevents it from being as valuable of a community resource as the MLR forum does.

Besides, not everyone uses Facebook or is willing to run their entire communication amongst brony musicians over questionable services run by corporations with rather bad reputations (the alternative being Skype which I refuse to use as well). A forum is independent, and a forum requires neither a Facebook account nor a Skype account nor any Google account nor a Windows Live account nor any kind of account with Apple.

@Makkon: So you're just going to step down as an admin or leave this place altogether? If the latter is the case, that'd mean the loss of one more revered musical brony — and one more step for MLR towards the dreaded "magic kindergarten".

[ExoBassTix]

@Pulse Wave, why would you think joining a Facebook group would be mandatory?

Nice to see this site under new management also I am so glad to see Commandspry and Aussie coming back hopefully that means there's more to look for.
