Honestly I think I'm going to miss Awijambu most. He/she/it was my favorite.

Well, Dr Fruitcake, you were an inspiration to me when I was first starting to write music. So even if all the Dr Druitcaking was just a hobby on the side of whatever, I very much enjoyed it and I'm happy that I was able to participate in this little community that you were cool enough to maintain over the years. Props to all the mods as well for that.

But we can still all keep in touch, both on the new site and on irc. And I didn't mention it (because I haven't done anything yet), but I've got a couple domain names (a .com and an .info) and some web space on a shitty shared web host. So I can contribute to the FCMidi legacy! I know the backing up process (and the foruming process, though I don't really feel like admining another forum EVER) is in good hands, but I'd be perfectly cool with using the space I've got for some FCMidi stuff.

EDIT: I submitted my post prematurely! But anyway, thanks for all the good times. I have a lot of respect for your creative talents. I've bookmarked your site, and good luck with everything!

I have been mulling over what to say to this, and after much debate, have settled on the following.

I have known you, insofar as a person can "know" another person they've never actually met, for the best part of a decade, and you've had the Dr Fruitcake moniker since I first contacted you. I wish you the very best of luck moving beyond FCMidi, and this is a change that is long overdue. Do whatever you have to do. Kevin-esque looks great. I should probably also use the death of Dr. Fruitcake as an opportunity to apologise for the various projects that you've worked on with me over the years which (for a variety of reasons) never actually saw any fruition. I still have all the unreleased MIDIs and bits and pieces that you did for me, and I immensely appreciate the time you took to do the stuff for me.

But anyway, back on topic. I'm curious about your "continuation" of a musical "career", since it hasn't really been something you've actually made much money from thus far (unless I've missed something). Are we therefore to assume this is an early step towards making music into a proper career plan, a proper Thing for you? Are you going to try to get work as a composer? Are you going to try to get into videogame music? Are you going to be selling these CDs you say you're working on? Essentially, what's the plan? I'm sure I speak for everybody here when I say that we will do our damnedest to support and promote you in whatever you do.

As for the Fruitcake MIDI actual website, well, the forum's been dead as disco for a long time, and I'm pretty glad to see the retirement of that terrible old layout I made back when dinosaurs walked the earth. I think it's probably for the best. Mr Green

So, um... well, all the best, old chum. All the best. *virtual handshake*

OKAY, OKAY, I'M HERE. GAH.

Egad, I disappear for two small years (or... uh, so) and this place is dying?!

Actually, seems like it's a very wise and mature decision to make Mr. Fruityman. (clearly) I understand the call to move on, or the demands of real life making you reevaluate where to spend your time.

Breh breh sad face breh breh it's cool breh breh what everyone else said

That being said, I will always treasure and giggle about the time I did spend here. Even if everyone thought me an attentionwhore/vegetableslut. Razz

I do hope people will keep in touch using that... chat-thingie. I sense much internet-hilarity to come.

See, noenvy, I remember you before the whole "vegetable slut" thing, so, no, you won't live on in my mind as a vegthro loving slut, but as the nice lady responsible for many art things and internet pets.

...

Uh, that's a good thing, right?

Oh. I thought she had just changed her name to something pronounceable and spell-able! Now I feel like a total jerk. Very Happy
