This seemed cool first but there is nearly no activity in the forum anywhere. Plus we haven't had a showcase in months. There's been plenty of new submissions though! I swear, is anyone even giving attention to this? I feel like LBFM is dead.

Well, poop.

I think you should get some other staff or spotlighter people to continue it though

I think Nerd-dog should do it in that case.

So here is a longer explanation for you that you can understand it.

First of all: Jhonsiak you are wrong, not completely but I will explain why. You write that as if it is the solution for a much more complicated problem consisting of many components.
As far as I know OMGYOUWOULD was the person who started LBFmusic and the two people who were managing the whole stuff were Velvet--Audio and Festered_Jester. The idea was/is great and the whole thing looked awesome but the problem was the missing success. The idea was to publish music hubs on a regular basis including ingame features in the news. As I know Festered_Jester talked with StevenI about this and he was told that is possible (At least they told me this). They were working on a great hub but because of a problem (don't ask me about the problem I forgot it) it was not possible to feature it into the news. We had to change the hub that StevenI can put it into the news. And we did that. But we were still waiting for a feature so the hub got only a few plays (1000 what is a lot for a not-featured hub but still much less than our wish with a featured hub). We published a second hub but we did not get featured neither. And than we started thinking if the time you need for a hub is worth for that few hubs? I don't know why the hubs did not get featured and this shouldn't be an accusation to Steveni as I don't know the reasons. I know only the fact that it did not get featured. And here comes the second problem. Festered_Jester and Velvet--Audio were/are extremely busy as I think velvet went to a music school or so what (The LBF team wishes you lots of success!)and Festered_Jester was busy too (Can't remember the reason anymore) And that means if you haven't got that much spare time you want to use it for something successfull and not most part of it for a hub with only a few plays. And here comes the point that OMGYOUWOULD left.. well he did not leave officially and we did not know that neither but retrospective you can say that this was the point he left as everything after that were lies. I am not sure but I think OMG was building the hubs so without a hub builder how can you publish one? That is always the problem guys. We can not put a lot effort into something without the amount of attention we hoped to see. A company can not pay their workers with love and hugs. Only with the money from the product that was made by the workers. And it is the same with LBF only that it is not money, it is attention, success and popularity.
We don't want to let LBF Music die. It is more sleeping at the moment for a long time but when the time comes we want to bring it back but before that we have to solve our other problems that have priority. And here comes the next point: The 'inactivity' of LBF. Why do you think did LittleBigLand die and LittleBigPlanetarium too (Well there are still some people but I don't think you can call that an active forum depending on the amount of registered members) and why do you think there still existst LBPC and LBN? The simple answer is: The ingame hubs with ingame features. People can't forget the sites if they see them regularly in their game and that is the same with LittleBigForum. If we had regularly coming Hubs with ingame features this would a much more active place. But hear you asking: "why don't you have hubs then?". Well the problem is the same with LBFMusic. Our awesome spotlight crew puts lots of effort into the hubs but they don't get featured in the news even if we ask stevenI lots of times about it. StevenI is/was soooo busy with the new LittleBigPlanet game that I can totally understand it if he hasn't got enough time to feature as but the problem is that we don't know what we can do as is he is so busy that he does not even answer our messages. Again, I don't want to accuse Steveni but it is a fact that it is extremely hard for us without him. Or do you think we don't start any new big contests because don't want to?
You see this is a very complicated topic including some more infos that I can't say in public. But I hope you understand all that a little bit more now
BTW This Forum had a new visitors record only 3 weeks ago and we had no hubs for over 3 months now. So the LBF community is strong, it is only hard at the moment but we are always working on solutions behind the scenes^^.
And don't worry we are planing to bring the LBF Picks hub back in LBP3 soon so stay tuned

(Fun fact: writing this post took me over 30 minutes)

@freddy

Whow, thanks for explaining. I do have to say, the second hub got team picked. Isn't that just as good as a news feature or even better maybe? Also, if you'd need a guy to build hubs, i'd definitely want to help.

Oh sorry.. see I completely forgot the team pick for the second hub. So the main problem was that our builders had no time anymore -> no organisation. Ok thanks for your offer will concentrate on other problems first but when we want to start LBF music again and we need some help I will remember your name

Yes yes, he good. I thought I could lend a hand also, but college and lack of confidence get in the way.
