Can you people please stop submitting things from VGMusic? It was funny the first few times, but now it's nothing more than rampant theft.
And no, crediting VGMusic doesn't cut it, as there are actual people that composed those MIDIs.

And now, the updates:

Recent Additions


And don't forget, we're still looking for a new person to help rake the mud that is the MFGG submissions queue! See Black Squirrel's news posting for more details.

Cracking down on thieves and trolls will do that.

I don't like people stealing music from VGmusic, it's like stealing games from YoYogames.com, or sprite sheets from "The Spriters Resource". Saying it's from that source doesn't mean anything... however, if you were the submitter (e.g. A.J. Nitro's submits to both sites) I do believe that everyone can agree that that's okay.

you should add something to the submission rules that's along the lines of "if you didn't make it/rip it/etc, don't submit it"

there is a "no stealing" rule but it's usually not considered stealing if you credit the original source, so loopholes ahoy

I just noticed that apparently Funky is banned from here (the main site). I definitely missed something.


Incidentally, I agree with Xgoff's idea.

Do not steal content from others, as it is highly unethical. We at MFGG have our ways of determining whether work is stolen from others, and will readily discriminate against thieves. Anyone submitting stolen content will be banned from the site immediately.


Also, if someone takes something from you, shows it to everyone they know, but say "that was ____'s ____," that would still count as stealing, no? That's just making it easier to tell who you stole it from.

Wow nice update

But I noticed that "racer peach" stole those Rosalina sprites from "Peach the hedgehog" (I have the original from PTH)

lol, when will my SMRPG sounds go up? XD
I can honestly say that I haven't stole them. It took me while to rip those!

Do you have a link to the originals? Because sometimes people just have different usernames on this site and on other sites, although interestingly that sheet on here has no credit tag.

They're here:

(Apparently found on Pixeltendo, and even stolen there)

But the one that racer peach submitted doesn't have the credit at the bottom right corner like this one does. Looks to me that racer peach erased it
