Yup - after 5 long years - I've decided enough is enough. Never was really a "good" audio musician neways - just did so many that people started to notice.

I would keep submitting - however, I dont really see a point anymore. Maybe now and then i might come out of retirement to make something - but it definitely isn't on the top of my priority list anymore.

I see everyones songs go down every day and I wonder "whats the point of the charts? They no longer reflect what is GOOD - only what is WHORED."

and I have so many songs - that even if i do get a good score day - they only seem to end up clogging the charts and then down they go again.

Oh and any new songs? Zeroed automatically.

So enjoy the songs I've submitted - it's been fun. I'll still stick around for the community - buuut that's pretty much it.

Now I know it's sometimes REALLY hard to know what is stolen in vg - so lets make a list!

Actually its sometimes hard to tell in any genre - so this can be all stolen submissions..

Feel free to add links and I shall add them to an ever growing list :)

ya the list is pretty small so far but In the past we just flagged the users and they were banned entirely - I'm sure it will increase over time :P

and congrats everyone - my big list is now small again thanks to you guys - those people deleted their own songs out of shame, and others entire profiles were deleted by the higher ups! - it works! :)

Well we were messing around with song ideas and I decided to visit the first user to submit a song on ngs - recoil.

And that got me thinking - how many artists are left on ns from the very beginning that we don't know about?

So lets make a list!
