my largest leecher fan base comes from guild yet guild staff slapped a 1 week limit on my releases
so in retaliation I removed the majority of my work except my 5 most frequently downloaded

I am now semi-private
my largest leecher fan base comes from guild yet guild staff slapped a 1 week limit on my releases
so in retaliation I removed the majority of my work except my 5 most frequently downloaded
a 1 week limit?

a 1 week limit?
Blame it on Walt
not Valodim, Sepp, Titiln, P.o.t.S etc.
screw Walt
that's just plain rediculous
I was gonna release a screenpack soon
ain't no way in hell a screenpack should only have a 1 week limit
nor should any stage
here's a great idea Walt
let's put a 1 week limit on the Reuben Kee Tribute stage update
sure thing buddy
whatever

it's about them being shady
they want my stages yet just the other day staff was editing my posts in my release threads
recently when I confronted all of their admins at once in their IRC
none of them could even deal with me straight up man to man
sackless wussies

I don't think cutting off your fanbase from your works, is going to help you in the long-run.

I used to believe that if even just one person who I would never hear from downloaded and enjoyed my stage it would be enough to make me want to keep my work open to the public but honestly right now I can't put myself in that person's shoes so to speak.
My stages have always been a novelty and I've never censored myself during creation. All this with help from others contributed to their success. Believe me when I say that removing Alaska Base my first creation for Sean Altly's Solid Snake was very difficult for me, I found it as part of a necessity for myself to move on. I can be an "all or nothing" type of guy in certain situations and since Mugen is in part a really big personal hobby I decided it would be better if I cut back.
Motivation is a big factor when it comes to being involved in a community and I always looked at the community as a whole rather than the individual forums or youtube. Since removing the majority of my work from being downloadable I've recieved close to a 100 PM's from all my various inboxes in regards to my stages and yet what it comes down to is I am too vocal and too opinionated to ignore the occasional events that arise with release topics. If I wasn't the way I am it would be so simple to just post announcements and never check on the responses while leaving my work available.
Bottom line is I am passionate about my hobby but I'm tired of dealing with community politics, trolls and drama.
I still create and collaborate but being semi-private right now is my way of cutting back on the scene.

I hear what you are saying and it is rather unfortunate that some who have interest have not had the chance to download them but it's not like I didn't announce my work, it's not like they weren't up and it's not like they are unrequestable. Events happen and people change. I used to be a strong advocate for the silent voices of the community and during my time as a contributor my team and I always gave back to the community as best as we could.

Believe me , Bro , Most of us are sick of the community politics & BS . We all just keep chugging along though because of our love for this hobby . The people that enjoy my work makes it worthwhile also . But you have to do what you feel is necessary . Good Luck to you . I hope you came back to the community as a contributor sometime in the near future .
