Sure, these don't showcase any fantastic stepping potential (although you should actually check out some of the less straightforward-jumpstreamy files in NB5 if you haven't). I see where you're coming from with these being the active packs of now.

To be fair two of those you quoted aren't even supposed to show any sort of high quality, and the second is actually getting better over time.

Quite a few posted scores on T&J, @ the least100sec it's like a sixth restep of that I made more for personal amusement and is only in the bunch of files you probably don't have pack -- I don't really mind it being forgotten.

To be frank, Matt (Fission) and I tried to run a pack with really high QC, and we actually did get a lot of submissions, and even have a sizable listed of accepted files, some with graphics. Matt lost all of his free time though, and what free time I had I devoted to FFR judging/stepping. We still have a bunch of files, and were mainly waiting for NB hype to die down so it would be a good time to request graphics and discuss release, but NB5 was delayed to no end, and graphics were continually being made for it, so there never arose an opportune time. Although, now is actually not so bad and I'll try talking to him about it again.

are you judging me now

[TC_Halogen]

all of my charts are going to have two difficulties with the same charts for both, but one of them will use xml/lua/coursing-embedded stuff because honestly, I'm bored with regular simfiling and you guys should be too.

someone has to pioneer change; I think me and YoshL could start with our knowledge in this regard :3

[Rebirth0]

oops I can't into websites this might be a while

[TC_Halogen]

so what's the purpose of another website again

[cedolad]

that's what I'm trying to figure out.

[cedolad]

in the meantime though, +1

[Rebirth0]

Because why would I name something RFpack if RF doesn't exist. Plus I already have the domain and hosting so whatever. But I'm going swimming so I'll do this in an hour or so.

probably mostly for circlejerking purposes

or as a private organizational tool that isn't as open to community criticism

We don't need to call this RFpack 2. Something original would be better, like what plopadop suggested (Imperishable Community Pack).

take a look at sm scores right now, for the last however long you'll find the following:
5+ people post scores
one person comes in and says "wow everyone's getting good"
that person posts scores
rinse and repeat

you'd get more submissions if you started a dump chancellor's pack

this x 900000001, holy shit

preserving the name isn't going to get you submissions -- having an extra and forced medium of communication for submissions is going to cause the pack to fall flat very quickly because people don't want to check between this post and the other website; keeping it here makes things harder for you... but easier for everyone else, and people will keep submitting.

when kommi started up xoon 6, bluexoon as a community was dead. I mean, the domain and forums still exist on stian's webhost, but no one has posted on it since early-mid 2013 pretty much. doesn't matter in the end since xoon 6 died and I ended up collecting whatever files and releasing them in bunch of files 3.

I don't think it's entirely necessary to revive red fraction as a website (yet again) and having it die off exactly like the last few times tbh.

[NeoMasterPie]

yeah can we keep the community decentralization to a minimum

[Rebirth0]

I still have the domain, and maybe I'll do something with it sometime. I SUPPOSE I will keep the project on FFR. I'll go into the hyperbolic time chamber and come up with a name.

But the reason to not give this pack an entirely new name is to maintain a level of expectation based on the name. If this becomes DCP2, then more people know what level of quality to expect than if it was something entirely new, because a first DCP exists. Same reason why this thread is called PPP3

Because of this I've been trying to make nontrivial dump charts since LC era

I'd say it's been successful as I'm still seeing quite a few score posts on my simfiles :>

[cedolad]

Just call it "Arrows to Music Pack". Seriously.

we can worry about the trivial name later, for now lets start collecting some files
