So, this is actually the "Who's Still Here?" thread.
Please post in this thread if you are still checking your 5090 comments.
Please also post saying what date you will be stopping checking your comments.
For some reason many people have an aversion towards treating this as a year-long community, so that's why i ask what date you're planning to leave.
This way anybody who's commenting can just check this thread out and find out who it's worth commenting on (though please remember that it is still worth your while to listen to songs by people who've gone, they just won't end up getting your comments!)
So, i'll start. I'm here now and i will be here until i drop, so feel free to comment (i know i've not been doing much commenting, now's the time, i should be doing some soon i hope!)

i'm here, and will be for most of october at least. i'll usually return comments with comments, though i'm currently a little behind on that; and i appreciate constructive criticism if the giver seems to get my vision (but if you want to suggest how to make things more commercial radio-friendly, you've possibly missed the point!).
(fwiw, i know my demos are mixed a bit quiet, relative to other tracks here. but they're consistent with each other, so just crank your volume control up for a little while, the demos will thank you, and don't forget to turn it back down before you move on to someone else's stuff. 
)
i'll try to check out and comment on demos from people active in this thread too. pay it forward!

I am still checking my comments because I still have a couple of zongs 
Somebody please bust them!
One is a brand new solo song I just wrote in September and recorded the other day. The other is a collab that currently only exists as a set of lyrics.
I also have one other collab outstanding that I do expect to finish ... at some point ... over the next week or so (he says hopefully)...
I'll also be catching up on my watchlist in any case, and catching whatever else I can. I expect to be done by the end of October, pending successful conclusions of outstanding collabs.

I'm still here, listening to the jukebox, commenting when I get a chance. I'm finding it difficult to get out of the habit of checking my "track" page (multiple times) daily, so I'll still be checking for comments on my songs.
I'm gonna miss you all so much... :'(
Until FAWM anyways

Thank you for starting this thread Calum 
The same here, as long as this site is open, I'm very happy to be here, listening, commenting, finishing projects, collaborating.

I'm on the road for work, but I'll be listening and checking in from hotel rooms. Just because it's October doesn't mean there isn't anything good to discover here.

Still here! still checking for new comments! (and listening too... )

Still here, got 3 zongs so I'll keep checking for probably a month more at least. Takes about 20 seconds each day so why not? Love to hear from people, and most of the music I've posted here is exclusive to the media that it was used as a score for, and FAWM itself - no other place on the internet.
Soon enough it'll be February anyway and we'll all be back in action!

Yep. Still here.

Here. I'll be updating with demos once my interface is fixed.

I'm still here, with several songs to finish or rerecord. I hope to be commenting too, on days when the jukebox weather is good.

Me please on my latest "Here Comes Mary"
I promise to do more commenting myself throughout October!

I'll be checking in from time to time, mostly to review comments before performing some of my 50/90 songs...
I'll try to comment on a few of yours while I'm here!

I'm still here. Lurking a little more than talking but I'm trying to get out of that habit.

Still around through February, basking after my first marathon; it's gratifying to look back at half-forgotten songs dashed off two and three months ago. I did alright once I hit pace.

still here!

I have a gazillion songs to comment on still, so I'm trying my best to catch up... don't think I will ever leave really

I'll be checking my comments and listening, but I don't want any comments.

I'm ever here, it seems. And there. I'm ever here and there.
It seems.

I'm still here. I have some collabs in the works and will be listening and commenting.

I'm still checking my FAWM2011 comments (not that anybody commented the last 4 months).

I'm here, and in for the long haul. Always am. I'm a misfit in any other online community I've engaged in: not into the technical recording stuff enough, not traditional enough on banjo, not much interested in meticulously re-working my songs. Here and at FAWM, I can do what I do, which is spontaneous and weird and with no real goal in mind other than fun. So, yeah, I'm here for a while.
And I'll keep commenting. I don't need comments, but I dig 'em. Nice to know someone listened.
(Oh, and regarding what Calum wrote to start this thread - I wish more people would treat this as a year-long community.)

@Kahiwa - I looked over and there I was. That song is SOOOO true.

Still here. I got really burnt out as I neared and crossed the finish line. I'm now getting to listen to what others have done (huge backlog on my watchlist).
I'll be here till I cain't be.

I`m also still here (and probably will stay still quite a while), I am only a bit shorter of time than before, but I`ll drop by from time to time and comment whenever I catch a good moment of spare time...

I'm still here! I'll be on regularly probably through october or november, and then I'll start checking more sporadically pretty much until FAWM. I plan to start doing more listening and commenting, but with classes I've been busy. I'll work on it.

I'm still here and will be taking the chance now the pressure's off to listen to the jukebox and catch up on some commenting - already come across a few absolute gems that I had missed in the last three months. Also keen to tidy up some of my demos and finish a couple. And yes still have a few zongs from the last mad flurry so would appreciate any feedback on those (though some of them are also the ones I want to re-record cause they were done in such a rush). So definitely will be a regular visitor through October at least and probably beyond that too!

Still checking in, listening, reading and commenting and will be at least until the end of November as there is a lot of good music I heard snatches of on the jukebox that I want to hear properly and give feedback on.
I do have 3 months worth of non urgent work tasks backed up that are starting to become more urgent now so checking in, listening, reading and commenting time will be reduced to a couple of times a week instead of every hour though
I was hoping @Kiwafruit and @T.C.Elliot would do at least one more podcast too huh huh huh huh! If you do, can I suggest these as the intro and outro songs on the podcast

Neither Rob from Amersfoort nor The Kingsguard have given permission to use their songs in a podcast.
I've plans for at least one more, but I had plans for 2 before the end of 50/90 so....
Thu, 10/06/2011 - 21:48
#36
I am going to be around here and there for the remainder of the month. Definitely need to comment more. This session of 50/90 was all kinds of cool.

I snuck in two more songs in the last couple of days, if someone would like to listen.
I'll be here till midnight Novemmber 1st - as some here know, that's when NaNoWrimo starts.

I shall be lurking around these parts for quite a while - I reckon until FAWM 2012 rolls around at least.
So much great music (I'm sure!) remains for me to hear. I've been kinda lax in my 50/90 listening habits the past month or so ... gotta do some catching up!
Fri, 10/07/2011 - 02:44

Im still checking my FAWM Acoount so ill probably stay until the songs get removed/ 50/90 starts.

@blindkiwi I intend to at least 2 more podcast episodes, plus the interviews that I recorded during 50/90. I'd like to interview more people and reflect back on their 50/90 experience and/or prepíng for FAWM.

What jgriffiths said. Not planning on leaving anytime soon.
I am also here because I am still writing, composing and recording. I was in fact a 5090 loser (although there are no losers), BUT refused to admit it, so eventually I recorded a score of random recordings, texts and titles or simply vague ideas. They will all be realized in the future, though.
Also welcoming requests for collabs, podcast interviews etc.
I'll be around for at least the next month or so, and will be catching up with listening and commenting too.
