"Lesser Knowns" (Official Event Thread)

[Matthew N.]

^No. Do you see what happened to this one?

[the4thImpulse]

perhaps we should simply have one big thread that any of us can visit at any time to review each other's WIP's?

We have he skype chat going and the soundcloud group, we don't need people using a bunch of diffrent methods to review each others tracks.

[Maelstrom]

Curious on how the video's coming, or if you need help with it. Haven't heard much about it recently. XP

[Captain Ironhelm]

I highly suggest using Skype for starters. Communication is just a whole lot faster than waiting for a forum reply.

[Expy]

If we're thinking of moving the release date, we should be careful about not releasing the teaser video too soon.

[Matthew N.]

So we've got all but one person's info. Trixie is neither responding on MLR nor on Skype.

One more thing: If your artist name is different than the one on MLR and you still haven't told me (some people did, thank you), please PM me this info as well.

[Belgerum]

I say give him a few days. He's also one of three people who haven't gone onto the soundcloud yet. I talked with him a little on Skype just yesterday, and he mentioned that he was getting his info to you, as well as working on soundcloud, so I'm not going to worry until a bit later.

[Matthew N.]

Got everyone's info now. Thanks peeps. Once again, if you use different artist name than your nickname on MLR, PM me ASAP.

[meletric]

I missed most of the conversation surrounding this, but in the skype chat yesterday, it was suggested that with Balloon Party Afterparty coming out in July, we should to release our album sooner rather than later.

I just thought I'd bring this up here, because with Balloon Party out this month, Afterparty out next month, and Seeds of Kindness in either late August or September, there might not be a completely opportune time for us to release this without it being overshadowed by another release.

So with that in mind, I suggest we not worry about whether the hype of another release will prevent us from gaining publicity and just focus on taking the time we need to make this a well planned and prepared release, rather than a hastily thrown together one; focus on the music for now, and work on the logistics after June 18th.

[colortwelve]

I haven't looked at my remix again... I really need to clean up that sound design.

[colortwelve]

Remixing Belgerum's track 'Silverstar.' I considered submitting the original mix of 'Bored of Earth,' which Belgerum is remixing, but I've decided to save that one for something else.

[meletric]

^99 now

[Belgerum]

What are you doing for your 100 subs? I did the crazy vid that you've probably seen on my youtube. I hope you're doing something equally crazy.

[MixolydianPony]

There's a very good chance that due to some unforeseen guitar related technical issues (my bridge is SCREWED UP) if I do manage to get a track done in time, it'll only be right before the deadline. If that's going to cause anyone any degree of stress or trouble at all, I'll drop out.

[Anorax]

aww dude that sucks hope you can still get a track in

[Glitchhog]

I hit 210 subs last night, so I'm going to make a subscriber special track. Not sure what it'll be... I might actually remix 'It's A Pinkie World' and make it good, since people seemed to love the demo. (IaPW was my first ever proper track).

[Matthew N.]

Subscribe to me... I have cupcakes!

[K3WRO]

So wait, Is the actual due date confirmed?

And how's the video going along?

[LFP]

Maybe we should post pone the deadline a bit since some people are having some issues (:?

[Matthew N.]

Some? I see one.

[Glitchhog]

Alright... so some shit has surfaced, and I've realized a few things... so I'm taking a hiatus. For real this time. The last thing I do with this community will be submitting my song for the lesser-knowns album, and only because we're essentially at the end of it now and I've worked too damn hard on my song to not showcase it. I don't want anything to do with pony music. No EqD. No groups. No forums. No meetups. I just want to watch a show that I love, without everything else attached. I've been utterly sickened by this community recently, and, I'm not going to go into why, but I don't want to be a part of it right now. This isn't the fandom I entered into just over a year ago now. And that saddens me.

I'm going to watch a show that I love, and that's it. Goodbye for while, everyone.

Please don't.

If it's something I did then I am sincerely sorry. :/

[Glitchhog]

Please don't.

No, I don't want you guys thinking this. There's no one in this group that has done anything wrong. This is the result of some feelings I've been battling for a while now, and I was sort of pushed over the edge a bit today. I realized a few things. I can't say for sure that I'll be gone for good, but it seems so for now.

I'll be making a new account on SoundCloud (under a new name) for my non-pony music after I release my EP in a few months, but for now, I just want to watch My Little Pony; something I love, without being tied to anything else. The fandom has changed a lot since I joined in February of last year, and I'm not sure I like where it's heading. I've become so ingrained in this community, from creating music, co-running brony music websites, hosting radio shows and conducting interviews, that I can't continue doing these things feeling the way I do.

I'll be vague with this, but it's all I really want to reveal; a friend of mine was utterly humiliated today, by bronies. I've finally 'seen' the darkest side of this fandom; something I've always seen and known about, but never truly paid attention to because it had never affected me. Seeing this... combined with my previous built-up thoughts, pushed me over the edge. I'm sorry everyone. Don't think you've done anything wrong, because you haven't. I hold nothing against any of you. This is a personal thing and something I've just ignored for too long. I still love ponies. But not their fanbase.

I'm sorry again, guys. Expect my track in the next couple weeks, and I'll still be keeping an eye on the Skype chat to make sure I'm up to date.

[NytMayr]

All things considered, I can totally understand your decision. No matter how hard they may try and deny it, every fandom has its dark side, and its rarely a pleasant thing when you experience it firsthand.

Love and tolerance be with you.

[Ed Viper]

Ahhhhh man. That sucks, dude. Well, as Kyoga said, we have no right to try and tell you to stay if you don't want to.

Also sucks to hear that actually happened :/ I've seen bronies do some things I don't like before, but it's too much to actually see them do it in person.

If you ever do come back, this group will certainly welcome you with open arms

Oṃ śānti śānti śānti, my friend.
