I quit Newgrounds.

Posted by MF-Greth - August 25th, 2015

Apparently I've been banned (for a month) from Newgrounds for my rendition of Jolly Roger Bay from Super Mario 64.

Anyone who follows me knows that I make my own renditions of songs that appeared in games. I've been doing this for quite a while. Apparently someone named larrynachos took issue with that, and filed for my ban. Maybe it's due to the fact his songs tend to have lower scores than mine? Who knows?

The thing is, just because I am re-orchestrating or remixing game music does not mean I don't put an intense amount of work in arranging the piece, working it in the DAW, etc etc. Apparently Newgrounds doesn't like remixers anymore, so I have no reason to be here. 

Fuck you NG. You used to support the game remix community. I preferred you over OCRemix, but I guess I should either go back to Tindeck or submit to OCR. Fuck maybe start using my soundcloud. Either way, we're done.

There's a few people on here I'd like to keep track of, but once that's all settled. I'm out. 

No more uploads from me.

that's odd, atleast 10% of the portal is remixes. were your songs blatant midi rips?? if not, try appealing your ban.

MF-Greth

The person who flagged me said they were midi replaces, when they're not. I arrange my remixes in Finale Notepad, with the use of a MIDI keyboard, then export them as MIDI to FL Studio, whereupon I use mainly Edirol Orchestra.

But there's no point. A bunch of self righteous idiots want to lord of the Audio Portal, that's fine. I don't want any part of it.

larrynachos

Way to call me out, bro. Very mature.

Firstly, remixes are very welcome here. It's just that yours have little to no originality to them. There's nothing that makes them memorable or screams "MF-Greth". That's when people start raising some eyebrows.

Secondly, you think I'm JEALOUS of you? You couldn't be further from the truth. While you're busy "remixing" someone else's song, I'm busy composing my own ORIGINAL arrangements (and everyone knows that remixes do better than original stuff due to the nostalgia factor). While you're busy entertaining a bunch of youthful gamers, I'm busy collaborating/working with other musicians and people who matter (and I'm getting paid for this stuff).

So go ahead and leave NG. Run away to some other platform where rules are more lax. I'm sure your 93 fans (only 93 since '05? And you think I'm jealous of you XD) won't cry too hard about it.

MF-Greth

That's a nice Luigi's Mansion remix you got there.
We both have remixes and we both have original shit.
You decided to be a fucking dick, so yeah, I'm calling your ass out.
Eat shit.

larrynachos

Spewing profanity at me won't make you any more in the right.

If you'd listen to my remix all the way through, you'd actually notice how much it DOESN'T sound like a midi rip.

MF-Greth

You're right. It sound exactly like the original track with a shitty dubstep wobble thrown over the top. My mistake.

The point is your a self righteous piece of shit that thinks his mediocre music/art/whatever is better than other peoples' because ORIGINALITYS1!!, an all too prevalent attitude in this scum sucking shitfest of a website.

And your 190 fans mean nothing to me. My pointless tumblr blog has over three times that amount of followers. And it means nothing.

You are fucking smalltime. But instead of encouraging other people in your position, you decide to form an elitist mindset with other people on the audio portal whose support you want for some sense of self-gratification and sense of being. You are pathetic, just like most other people on here.

'BUT I WANT TO BE THE NEXT WATERFLAME!!!1"

You never will be. Try sucking up to Macintosh Plus on bandcamp, you have a better shot at that, somehow.

larrynachos

I'm smalltime, but I'm definitely better off than you, and that's all I need.

So quit being a little bitch and leave already.

MF-Greth

You're better off than me? How? Because you have a few fans on Newgrounds? Ok pal.
I just did this as a hobby. Since you're trying to be 'professional', I'm gonna let you know that you're off to a pretty shit start. I've worked as a sound director on independent films, and as sound tech on bigger ones. I don't really need to justify my little game remixes to you.

Also chill, ripping files from NG's server en masse takes a little while.

BrokenDeck

Included in the ban PM was a statement that you can appeal the ban. A simple private message to me would have sufficed. You didn't have to make a public display out of it. Just saying your attitude definitely does not help your case. But you can message me at your convenience and we can start the appeal process.

MF-Greth

Honestly, it never should have happened in the first place. I'm not interested. The fact that you didn't bother to ask me if I was using midi replace in the first place, or about my process, shows me you don't really investigate these claims. So no thanks. I'm out.

davidpuralocura

you dont leve NG leaves you

MonochromeMonitor

This is terrible. I was wondering why your work disappeared off my favorites list. Please don't give up. You're very talented and I (and many others) love your work.

MonochromeMonitor

I'm actually really pissed off about this. So many people make game remixes. I can name dozens of users. Why you? Did you get on someone's bad side? This is fucked up.

pugmanpug

yeah ng can be a bit of a jerk some time's they took down my art FOR NO REASON!!!! but its ok you have fantastic audio. i heard the jolly roger bay remix it was perfect but don't get all grumpy about it you are amazing and don't let ng tell you otherwise. you still have fantastic stuff and it's just important that you stay you. : )

GUsername

larrynachos, you are a jackass. Not because you dislike his remixes, and not because you think they are unoriginal. But because you were a tattletale and reported him? Who the fuck does shit like that? You have nothing to gain from it other than sadistic pleasure knowing that someone else is suffering. What are you a teacher's pet? Why do you have to gain by reporting him. He isn't hurting you.

By getting him banned, larrynachos, you have made it so that people (such as me) who love MF Greth's music cannot listen to it anymore. If you don't like his music, thats fine! I on the otherhand think its fantastic, original or not he gives credit.

larrynachos, you had no business reporting him like a little bitch tattletale. Snitches like you are pathetic, and do this shit for kicks. You had nothing to gain by doing this.

larrynachos

You misunderstand me, @GUsername, @monochromemonitor. Normally, I wouldn't take the time to respond to posts about this incident anymore, but I think I need to clear up any misconceptions you have about the motives behind the report.

I reported MF-Gareth's remixes not because I dislike them, but because they violated the Audio Portal's terms of use. I had reason to believe that MF-Gareth's remixes were nothing more of an instrument-swap of a midi file created by somebody else. My word is not gospel, and the Audio Portal moderators had to review my claim and asses MF-Gareth's audio before making a decision. They chose to pull his audio, so they must have had suspicions about the legitimacy of his remixes as well. I didn't do this out of a need to make others suffer. As a member of the Newgrounds Audio Portal, and as a hard working musician, I feel an obligation to keep the portal free from cheap midi-rips of popular video game songs.

I would also like to draw emphasis to the following facts:

1.) MF-Gareth was banned for only ONE MONTH. After this, he could have started posting songs and remixes again. Him "quitting Newgrounds" was unnecessary.

2.) MF-Gareth could have refuted my claim. BrokenDeck informed him that he could appeal to his ban, but MF-Gareth ultimately must have not.

3.) MF-Gareth's music is still available to listen to on his Newgrounds page. Only his remixes were removed.

4.) You can listen to MF-Greth's remixes through other mediums. There are links on his Newgrounds page.

Thank you for understanding the situation, and my part in it.
