Official "I'm Away Topic"

[KefkaticFanatic]

Thurs-Saturday at MUN conference.  Will possibly have internet.

[SirIngusBingus]

Have fun.

[dahans]

I'll  be off for a week in ROMA

[universe-X]

Have a good time!

[Jamaha]

Back from a 5-day visit to Scotland.

[universe-X]

...we need your voice on something...

[KefkaticFanatic]

No.  Just because some dumb guy whines about no updates doesn't mean everything suddenly has to change.  And why would it?  It's gone on like this for years, and for a rather good reason, people are fucking busy.  We really don't need a bunch of 12 year olds running the site, then it will end up being like the old NSM, with spam updates full of crap arrangements every week.

[raymondbl]

well, guess what?  I'm 11 years old, and I don't think I give crap arrangements.  I haven't submitted any yet, and I don't know how to make a link yet.  What are you going to do?  Kick me off the site?  Or not let me do any arrangements?  I think mine are very accurate.  You just have to use your ear. 

[Dude]

I'm pretty sure you have to be 13 to join a forum. >_>

[universe-X]

^^Not required... but would be better. Coming from a 14 year old.

Raymond, you could've said that better. And I dunno, I didn't get all that into music until I started middle school... you're in elementary school. You have other things to worry about, starting with 6th grade. Take care of that before this. In one word, priorities...

[raymondbl]

Well, your'e right that I'm in 6th grade, which is middle school here in Brunswick, Ohio (US).  I do have other things to worry about, but I usually get them finished, PLUS I plan to be a music major, so I want to train my ear. 

[universe-X]

7th, 8th, it just gets harder. More work, less time.

You'll see soon enough.

[KefkaticFanatic]

It may SOUND right, but does it look right?  Is it playable?  Is it in the right key?

You can't just go by sound, as we've seen many, many times.

[Nintendude73]

This isn't the place for this.  Judge his arrangements when he gets around to posting them.

[KefkaticFanatic]

I'm telling him the standard expectations of an arrangement, nothing wrong with that.
