Have u ever sold anything in yur entire "career"
I'll just give u an answer: No!

I guess you're the one too busy crying a river..

Maybe I haven't sold anything yet or maybe not.. Take some time to do some checking before posting straight-up false remarks.

This also not only applies for myself. If every band in the world should received some good comments, then there shouldn't be any music critics in this world.. EVERYBODY should listen to EVERYTHING then.

But I'm sure that you yourself will not like the music I'm doing.. So if you say my music is crappy like what the hell am I doing and stuff, should I flame you and say, "At least I'm doing something that nobody else is doing. Can you do it?" ??

So if anybody were to say something negative about the band, then they should compare themselves with "Big International Bands"??

Yes! You are in a small market. Including all those who post on this forum hosted by James.

Look who's talking..
 
Not defending Levan for what he said but as an outsider looking in it is obvious that James has something personal against Levan, I don't know why or for what reason but even before all this started it was pretty obvious James didn't like Levan's presence here on SOFT.

Yes, Levan could post some random and strange replies, even start some very weird threads, but the majority of the time the threads that he did post were extremely helpful to the local music scene, something he does care about. I can remember one thread in particular which was a huge amount of resources and advice on promoting a band on the internet, a project Levan was working on and he was good enough to take his time and energy to put this up for all of us to share and take from. Time and time again in that thread it was asked that James place it as a sticky somewhere so people didn't have to keep trawling through the site in order to get the information but these requests were completely ignored by James, why?

Levan was banned by James, and the reason started up a whole thread about whether it was right or wrong and the way that this forum is run. Not negatively I might add.

So when Levan's band did manage to get exposure internationally, his band came on here again, not to gloat or to enhance their egos, but purely to say to other musicians in the scene that it is possible! Some shrugged with indifference and said ''10,000 copies? big deal'', but the main aim of that thread as far as I could see was to encourage others and share something positive with local musicians regarding what they had done. As soon as James found out it was Levan though, that was it, thread removed, account banned, we shall never speak of this again.

I am cursious James, not to attack you but really what was the reason the Astroninja thread was taken down? Surely if it was for the sole reason that Levan had been banned before do you not think that is a little short sighted? Could you not have simply sent them a warning (I was under the impression the account was Astroninja as a whole and not just Levan posting) that one of their members had been banned in the past and their conduct would be closely monitored?

I have no doubt that this has gone far too personal now to be reconciled, however the world is not full of flowers and happy people, stop trying to pretend it is.
 
Hi flip22er

I have no problem with the band or the members. In fact, satch(Dong) has contacted me and I told him about the situation.

I welcome satch to post updates about the band and share with us it's success.

Just help me keep those who are banned away from the forum.
 
Then if you have already banned the person who started it, why still delete the thread? Its an Astroninja thread, not a Levan thread.
 
What should I do if he keep registering new account and post? Should I just ban again? The reason to remove the thread is so that there is no incentive for him to register/post again.

Anyway, Levan, if you are reading this, please stop registering new account to post on SOFT. You have been banned and I hope you just stop thinking about SOFT and move on with your life.
 
i can see now, that this issue, has gotten way out of hand, with the rise of new insights, however it may just be travesty, Exposed to ridicule.
 
Rise and Be Magnanimous

Soft Administrator,

I should say, you are actually given an opportunity here to rise above the occasion and be as magnanimous as you can be by responding in perhaps the most mature and democratic manner you can.

Let the thread run and you will be surprise how things may take a turn for the better. Don't kill it. Learn from it as it progresses into your favor. You kill it, you kill one of the underlying behaviors of the World Wide Web.

I'm sure we all appreciate what you have been doing all these years but if you take a step back and look at what you have done so far, you might (dare I say) realize that there is more to making music and this very incident might well put SOFT up into the next level. Wouldn't you agree?

Life is strange but 360deg all the time.

I would only listen to Astroninja if they are bigger than the Beatles.
Personally, i feel acting like a rock star is one thing but if you can't even respect James who has done a good job so far, then shame be unto that particular person. Dong is allright,the other guy is not.

Surely though the thread was about Astroninja and not about Levan? By removing the thread and banning the account you have punished the rest of the band, and not just Levan.

Again, I feel you have something personal against Levan, you say you have nothing against Astroninja or the band members yet you ban the whole band's account and a thread about them purely because one of their members has been banned from this site in the past, and for a rather innocuous reason.

It is your site and you can run it as you see fit, but as I said before when you have a public forum it is not going to be all roses and candy. Human beings are not built that way.
