Vets: Why did you quit?

outlawed · Post by **outlawed** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 7:50 am

To qualify for veteran status you must meet all of the following:

001) Pre-date this site in submitting to the conventions

002) Not give a fuck

003) Love to make AMVs but just too damn busy

004) Paid out the ass for import LDs or had to find someone with import footage

005) Used VCRS for pre-production & post-production

006) Know that AG-1980 was the bomb

007) Bought dub VHS just so you could get a small piece footage for that various video

008) Believed at one time that there were too many Ranma videos and that this problem would never go away

009) Desire to ban weird al songs from conventions

010) What's the password to hawaii?

011) You dowloaded from Mdenny

012) Ability to provide better tech support for a Pinnacle DC10 or DC30 than the Pinnacle support line.

013) You know that Eat it to Grave of the Fireflies was DQ'd for a reason superceding issues of what is considered wrong.

014) Feel it is your duty to tell someone if a video sucks.

015) Thought the Anime Music Video Creators' Webring was neato.

016) You knew that a convention would contain a Brad Demoss entry before the convention even existed.

017) You had to worry about Macrovision at some point.

018) Remember the Beautiful People to Apocalypse Zero (aka Kakugo no Susume before it was released in USA) incident at A-kon.

019) If you used windows you encoded a video with Indeo compression.

020) You remember Kevin Caldwell actually posted occasionally!

021) Believe the old trolling threads were great flamefests and these young whipper snappers and their "contest drama" can't hold a candle to them.

*That's all I have for the momemt. Please feel free to add onto this list*

Maybe I should update the flame form...

When I did it, AD hadn't even contributed to the guides. (see: "REFG")

Yeah you'd have to make some changes but it is still one of the funnier versions of the flame form out there. Of course I haven't seen one used in quite some time.

AMVetran : Three requirements must be fulfilled.

1. An all ten Op, Sombody though your shit was so amazing they gave you perfect scores.

2. Sombody thought I'm gonna balance out all of these all ten ops this creator has been getting by giving him all 1's.

3. Someone unbeknownst to you uploads your video to boochsack, with complete disregard to quality or synching, because they love you THAT MUCH.

1. check

2. check

3. Ok i think i won on this one A Very Bootyful Christmas was tubed like 200 times or something, its like a weed or something can get rid of it.

Having your computer crash can be one reason to take a break from editing and other stuff can pop up.
Or it could be they never retired and are just working on one hell of a video.

Although I wouldnt consider him a "vet" I can tell you why MajinkenshinAMV (oh the noobness of our name screen name choices back then) quit the scene, he was sick of all the fuckin nerds constantly pestering him with the same dumbass questions, although we still get a gut busting chuckle from some of the utterly retarded fan mail he still gets.

One day we may release Toushi 2: tale of the fishstick, our final gift to you guys, I promise we wont rip off too much of our own footage like we did with gothicrapola.
