I've already agreed with the fact that I should have asked & checked ahead of time, but you're wrong about 1 thing. I don't have a contest called Song Fight. It's still called SpinTunes...we just named 1 album "Song Fight" & we make 4 albums every single contest.You're active here, you're active there, you have a contest called "Song Fight", I think you need to go above and beyond to make us ok with that
I didn't think any lines would be blurred. Most of the people involved in SpinTunes know about Song Fight because of how much I talk about it or because they've been involved with it at some point. A little more forethought & communication would have been wise...but again...I've already agreed with those points.If you're going to start blurring the identity of your competition and Song Fight, without any forethought or communication to this community, then I'm going to get suspicious and think that you are acting out a premeditated plan for taking over our turf, and I'm gonna be pissed at you.
I've listened to almost every fight since 2006 (and downloaded every song in the sites history through mid 2012), done a few dozen shitty reviews, formed friendships with people, and have followed other projects here as well (watched Song Fight live, followed Nur Eins (and judged 1), followed Gift Of Music, Songwriting Circles, etc...) I think I do participate, but I'm not going to post in the forum all the time. I'm not a forum person for the most part anymore. That part of me went away when other social media sites got big. I haven't used a forum on a regular basis since 2006 probably. Sorry if that doesn't meet someone elses standards of participation.ust go about things in a way that makes it seem more like you are trying to offer an alternative, not a replacement, and participate in the community, and you'll get a lot less shit from the community.
I've also never pushed anyone to do SpinTunes over Song Fight. I support both all the time. I even schedule the summer SpinTunes (we do 2 contest a year: winter & summer) after Nur Ein so that there's no conflict in Schedules. I can't really do that with Song Fight's main contest because it never stops. I've never offered up SpinTunes as a 'replacement'.
