Or I know this may be extensive. But why not designate all of Sunday to be dub  day. It starts when it becomes Sunday where ever starts the next day first and ends when the last time zone hits Monday D: then people can freely join and leave all day. I mean I know that takes a little away from a scheduled time but I feel like if it's open maybe it'll encourage people to check in and see what's going on as well. ???? Maaaaaaaybe? I could certainly work with something like that myself 

Stop. Just agree to disagree for hecks sake. Trombe chose to leave. No one MADE him leave. People are sitting here pointing the finger at the wrong people. No one told him to leave. It was a suspension not a ban. And frankly (despite the humor attached with the formatting of this thread) the post as a whole is a dramatic exit that has obviously proven to do exactly what it was intended to do. Stir everyone up and boohoo about Trombe leaving. 
 
As @The MAD Stallionsaid... Other people have also been suspended who contribute here for breaking the rules as well. Trombe was treated the same and chose to throw a fit about it with this post. 
 
 

Is the official schedule every Saturday and Sunday? I like the idea of having a designated day throughout the week for dubtrack. I have no idea if once a week would maximize turnout or what. Anyway I'll try and pop in Sunday to see what's up.

I like the sound of this. It kind of reminds me of how turntable.fm used to be - most rooms would be active all day, with people coming and going as they pleased, and the rooms wouldn't truly die down until late in the evening. I was really hoping that the same thing would happen for the MH room - where people could pop in whenever they want, but the dynamic has been completely different here. The MH room has always been open for use to anyone at anytime, but it seems most activity has revolved around set sessions. Furthermore, it seems like only a few people are comfortable calling sessions on their own. I'd certainly like to see this change and see dub grow to become more widely utilized by the community. Designating Sunday as an "open dub" day might be a step in the right direction. So I'm certainly down for that.
 
My only concern is that there might not be enough users around to sustain use throughout different times of the day, but holding a "dub day" might change that. We won't know until we try, so let's give it a shot!

I derived endless amusement from the banter in this topic. The mental calisthenics some of you are going through to paint the staff in a bad light with absolutely no evidence to back it up really gives me a chortle. I don't know if you get your rocks off always being contrarian or if you just don't like us - and I don't really care - but now it's turning into personal vendettas against members who have beef with one another and who are using his departure as a cover. So now this ends.
 
@blackdoll, you in particular need to chill out. None of what you said has any basis in reality and @emmny is more on point than you are. Do not conflate the right to an opinion with being wrong. You shared your opinion and I am telling you that you are wrong. Enough already.
 
Thank you to everyone else in this topic who didn't jump to conclusions and who understands that this is a delicate, complex situation with no right answers. Trombe has been a vital part of Monochrome Heaven for a very long time but even long-lasting relationships don't always work out. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this didn't work out because the staff and Trombe no longer see eye to eye on how news should be posted and how the section should be moderated. The ban is a separate issue entirely from what everyone else in this topic is going on about and I'm reserving Trombe's right to privacy so don't ask or offer conjectures. Trombe will continue to post news in the form that he sees best and if that entails returning to MH at some point than so be it. Monochrome Heaven will continue to have a news section and you are all welcome to fill the void and post news.
 
In case you need me to make it extra clear for you: Trombe chose to leave Monochrome Heaven. He said so. We said so. If you don't believe either party, that's on you.
 
This topic will now return to wishing Trombe a farewell. Anyone who uses this topic as a platform for airing their own drama will have their posts deleted and receive a nice warning notification to go with it.

MH is the special olympics and everyone is a winner!

I feel like the main reason I like it is truly for the social aspect of it. 
I downloaded it first out of curiosity more so than the hype and excitement of another Pokemon addition to the franchise. 
But once I roamed around with friends and met new people it made it that much more interesting.  
 
Personally where I work we've managed to have different departments pick different teams, so my work place is under constant battle. 
 
I've already met a lot of people and I talk to someone new everyday just by using the game as a gateway. 
 
I like it not just cuz it's pokemon, but it sort of brought people together a bit. 
 
it's interesting.

Not to be harsh, but the other "90%" are lurkers who purely use the forum to download things and get the free news. If people became more active, the community would be a lot larger. Just because someone contributes a high percentage of one section of this forum does not make it okay for them to be disrespectful and childish. The fact that people are defending and suggesting one person have an exception to do whatever they want simply because they provide a convenience people are to lazy to do just baffles me. 
 
This is a forum, not just a news site. People are encouraged to be active and contribute. PS: a lot of those "trolls"/mods liked/and people known around here are known for a reason. They're liked for a reason. Mods were users just like all of us who took on their positions to help make this community an enjoyable place. These are also people who have contributed in just as much of a valuable way as trombe did. 
 
You want a news section? Pick a band or two and contribute. You wanna read news and do nothing, get off a forum and go to a news site.

Honestly,
I can't provide a link to you because the bands I want to know about I check on (The way people did it before trombes time). To find new bands I simply do it the old fashioned way and see suggestions on facebook, twitter, and youtube. Do I follow everything? NAW DAWG THAT'S A LOT TO FOLLOW.
But let's be real. If it's important enough to you, you'll remember where to go look for updated news. 
As for getting news via 2ch... If you're that passionate about the scene to crave news not accessible to the wider community, then maybe you should be passionate about learning how to use that site. It's the original source afterall amirite?

I think whatever I was going to end up commenting, ended up/were expressed here anyway....
I was also beat by the 'David Bowie Meme School' alumni, so I'm kinda late on that too.... You fabulous meme-loving fucks <3
Seems that the introduction thread also got migrated here, hello fresh faces (jk ur all fab af)! 
 
Soooooooooo... I've said my piece... Gonna inch back over to other parts of the forum that are a bit less salty/fiery
since I don't plan on cooking steak today and someone already got roasted.

No, but really, Trombe did a lot of work none of us wanted to do on our owns. His posts became a convenience for most of us. However, I'm sure the mods of the forum know this and it probably wasn't an easy choice to suspend him for whatever reason it was for. While Trombe contributed a lot to this community... He is not THE community. I'm sure the mods have justified reasons for their choice as a whole with the communities best interest in mind. 
 
So please, I understand being upset for losing that contribution, but don't forget the other things MH has to offer and how hard the mods work to keep everyone happy to the best of their abilities 

could this be the most apocalyptic disbandment thread ever since lycaon? #goals #impact

@filth_yI can tell you I have posted news directly from band members mouths before official announcements more than once and know other MH users who have as well. Trombe is not alone in that. Jsyk.

1. Completely agree. Problem is the community itself just cant work i feel (on one side people with no clue of the band (meaning never seeing them live/instore event, discussing with elitism like people due to the distance of availability)..
2. Please give a link i didnt mention. Link me to that news site that posts news first, just minutes after they are announced live and maybe even the only time ever mentioned online like trombe did. Would be happy.

To all the people complaining that now "there won't be any news anymore" let me tell you this as a person who's written for newswebsites for years: when you see one person do 95% of the stuff, you're easily demotivated to even go and try to see if whatever news you've bumped into is already there or not. So people who want to help but aren't as quick will either see that person as an easy way out, "they'll do it, I guess. Maybe already did", or will just start believing they're simply "not good enough" to bother posting anything at all.  With such a person not around anymore, people will be more inclined to actually post a thing when they come across it. The "next gen" MH news people will show up by themselves for sure.
 
That said, Trombe did lots of work through these years, and all of it was because they felt like it. While they might not have made the best decisions concerning issues and MH as a team, the work itself can't be ignored. But doing lots of work (essentially no one's asking you to do) doesn't equal being able to do whatever the fuck you want to. Rules are rules. And they are there for every single one of us.
