now

Run it.

Will do.

Oh yeah it is a new month =\

Thanks Pate.

No problem.

So, I won't request here this time, but where do I ask a name change?

There's no more thread in the site forum...

If you promise to change it to Cyclone Straddler, I'll talk to Jelle about it.

:(

I think it was already settled anyway. Just awaiting the change...

Come on man it would be awesome.

Or what about "Jammie heart Rachel yay" or some salad reference?

Or a salad being tossed reference.

That was the joke, son.


:p

:lol:

Make him a mod with the name 'Salad Tosser'. That should even things out a little.

'Tossing the Salad' would be better.

hahahahha

Come on guys :(

and btw pate, no "tossing the salad" is not better then "Salad Tosser" when looking at a name.

Not that I'm considering it or anything :p

Hey guys, I missed the DU drama, anyone care to link me or explain to me why it was terminated?

Some small record company no one has heard of started complaining, even though we'd never uploaded an album by one of their artists so we decided to be respectful and shut it down.

Ha! Like people can't get music from anywhere else! Thanks man :)

I'm still demanding that the other forums get their mailing lists shut down as well, since MX, not just R&M, is against piracy.

Yeah, all mailing lists should be down.

Nah, not really.

Just shut down Alt/Indie's list.

No need to rain on other people's parades just because jrowa001 fuc[size=2]k[/size]ed us over.

Fine, ban him.

It really could have happened to any of us.

We shut ours down so they should have to do the same.

Theirs didn't get complaints from record companies.

Simply because they arent metal. So the guy doesnt really care about stopping piracy, he just wants to bug us for his crap. Therefore, don't send any ProgRock releases out and we'll be fine.

EDIT: And we only had one album from ProgRock upped, right when we got emails, right? jrowas a snitch? amirite? just throwing that out there.

Yes, but as a result of the complaints, the mx anti-piracy policy was reiterated.

That policy Jom posted a few days back has been in effect since 2004, and mailing lists all over the forum have existed since then. I don't recall any mods ordering Deth/Angmar to stop it either, I'm pretty sure they did that themselves.

This.

All I see from your posts is:

"MOOOMMMM BOBBY CAN GO OUT AT 10 BUT I CANT MAKE HIM STAY HOME TOO"

We only explain our position as moderators on the forum, and how we represent Jeremy/mx and the best interests of both him and his site. I have double responsibility since I maintain the reviews site with some cool kids, but I also have additional responsibilities with SOP because we do a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff. So, we represent Jeremy, and he trusts us not to be morons.

Okay, so Dave does most of that aforementioned behind-the-scenes stuff while I focus on the reviews site more, but it is our position as R&M moderators (Jelle, Riva, Barkeep, Vince, and company) to do our best to remove copyrighted material from the site. We can't catch everything, but I posted that 2004 ruling to serve as a reminder that users have to practice good faith, but also to not engage in illegal filesharing directly on the forums.

I am sort of appalled by the number of people complaining that one illegal source of music for them has been taken away.

I wasn't aware I was moderating a pre-school.

I don't even care about it ending. I got like one album from it in the last 8 months. I just think that the other forums should cease and desist.

I agree with this. I hardly used the DU too, it barely effects me.

They're complaining because apparently this happened exclusively in R&M. Complaints were made about posting YSI links back in the day. It wouldn't make sense to ban them only in particular sub-forums, would it?

Then go complain about it in the other forums. It's kinda annoying you guys think that the R&M mod staff should police the whole site.

I'll throw a thread in the mod forum (which no one reads) I guess but if you want actual results you need to go bug the mods of those other forums tbh.
