If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

I wouldn't say talent is frowned upon as much as it is certain musical forms are expected of groups. What I mean by that is that the genres constrict groups too much. Occasional groups tend to cross genres, like Radiohead has gone more electronic in the past few years, but today I think most bands tend to give their fans want they want rather than evolving.
Most pop however is repetitive garbage.


...And don't you ever talk bad about a synthesizer ever again. The Mellotron creates some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.

I'm only uploading mp4 video to youtube to save upload time. Have you watched any of the other clips? They should look similar.  The final clips will be lagarith avi.

And what are you doing in the fanedit forum anyway? :p

Only you could bring me here. And I did check the other videos, but didn't notice as much compression on them... maybe it's because they weren't moving around as much.

Praise a "bad" movie

That's why TPM is IMHO the best of the prequels. Despite the plot holes, the so called "characters", and the crappy CGI, they had real sets and models for a lot of Special Effects, which made them look real. Or more real than the CGI crap of the other two.

Isn't it a bit hypocritical to like a movie simply because of real sets and models? That's like the people we criticize for saying that there's not enough CG in current movies/the prequels...

Redesign the site?
Time

With the recent backlash regarding the newest changes to the OT, I think it's time for an overhaul on the main page. The layout is simple ,which is something I support - however, I'm NOT fond of the fact that it appears to only be a news ticker. There's no FAQ, no list of grievances aside from the petition itself. We need to explain our goals flat-out on the front page. Also, a feature similar to 005's comprehensive change list would be cool; hell, the site could even just link to it in this FAQ I'm talking about.

Just look at how the site looked in 2004* Straight to the point, with George's infamous quote regarding cultural heritage. A powerful beginning for a simple site dedicated to its mission. I'd love to see something like that, it's a real attention grabber.

Also, more radically, I think the fanedit part of the forum should be split off to fanedits.com. It gives less credibility to the mission, mainly due to the irony. While I do enjoy our fanediting community, I don't think the petition and/or site needs people brushing it off just because we're inconsistent.

*Once again, the simple text editor has demonstrated its propensity toward bugs. I can't hotlink it in text, so here's the front page from 2004: http://web.archive.org/web/20040923045515/http://www.originaltrilogy.com/[/url]]http://www.originaltrilogy.com/]http://web.archive.org/web/20040923045515/http://www.originaltrilogy.com/[/url][/url]

OK, that didn't work either. You're just going to have to copy/paste it, but the web archive page does indeed exist there.
