since upsb does not represent any country.

Sorry, but you must clarify to me why you have THPSC members in a promotional UPSB collab.
You see, UPSB is a forum that accepts people of all countries, and is widely considered an "international" board. However, it IS still an english speaking board, and by that i want to stress that there is still some independence and criteria to UPSB.
Sure UPSB ACCEPTS all kinds of people around the world, but which forum doesn't? I am sure if I could speak Japanese and posted on JEB I would still be accepted, and not isolated just because I am not from Japan. Even though so many people speak english, most people generally tend to stick to their respective boards, and seldom post in UPSB.
I understand that English is a very widespread and common language, which gives UPSB such a multicultural ambiance, and thus thpsc members are accepted. However, this does NOT seem to be the case of this collab. If this was collab was truly promoting the multicultural ambiance of UPSB, it would have spinners from all around the world, evenly divided-not with 10 active UPSB members and two THPSC members.
Depending on how you promote UPSB, you either scratch out the two THPSC members, or you will ultimately find spinners from around the world. (Highly, HIGHLY unlikely, as you say this is "unofficial"). After all, having only UPSB members is very appropriate in representing the UPSB COMMUNITY.
Not wanting to crap on your party (I have a feeling I have already did, by making this post) but i suggest you make some changes...
I have a feeling that you meant UPSB promo as a reference to the "Pen spinning promo" videos. Those videos are aptly named, because they do their job well. Having a "Unofficial" UPSB Collab #1 (which gives assumption there will be a #2, #3) is very much an oxymoron. If you are simply making a collab, and not really a literal PROMOTIONAL collab, then just say so! The title you give it is very demanding, and I really do not think you are creating what I think you are creating.
ps: I think i made a post something like this last night...Did a moderator delete it? If so, PM me the next time you delete my posts. -
Date: Tue, Jan 1 2008 23:54:02
uhh... the difference between JEB and UPSB is that JEB is ABOUT Japan whereas UPSB as the name implies is about the World (AKA universe). So it doesn't matter if you speak Japanese or not, JEB is not about japanese speakers, it's about Japan.
UPSB is not about english speakers, it's about the world.
It just happens that English is widely recognized as the universal language.
But anyway, it's unofficial so I guess it doesn't really matter... -

@toast: it doesn't matter who is accepted, as long as they are UPSB members. I don't think that either spinnerpeem or highwave were expecting to labeled as THPSC spinners in the video...maybe they were. Either way, everyone in the video will obviously be labelled as UPSB members, since this is supposed to be some kind of promo for UPSB.
I would suggest leaving out any labels of other communities unless this collab does end up with a lot of spinners from many different communities. Until then, everyone should simply be labeled as UPSB spinners.
At the end of the video, communities who have spinners who were featured could simply be listed, seperate from the actual spinners, just to show that the video accepted people who are also affiliated with other communities. -

I agree with toast on this one. Making a promo video and a collaboration video is not really that similar.
Making a collab is simple. Just get a couple of spinners to submit some videos. Some editing, and the work is done.
By the means of a Promotional video, what you need is something good, not just a normal pen spinning video. In order to "promote" you will need something new, crazy or just plain good. This is so that the video can have the effect of promoting UPSB, rather that just, "oh, I've seen it". -
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 04:05:05
@Sketching *shrug* I guess it has always been a problem for me when I see people who rarely post, (and i doubt even lurk) on UPSB but yet participate in collaborations directly representing us. But I guess its ok since its unofficial. I still think the title should be changed though.
@Zombo I guess you are right about the differences of JEB and UPSB. After all it is the JapEn Board. However, I simply used this to point out that he should either represent the community, or UPSB as a whole, if he really were to create a true "promotional video".
After all, even though so many people from around the world come to UPSB, only a select few actually stay and post actively, creating the community of UPSB. -
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 05:36:58
i suppose it depends on how serious mhig wants this video to be and maybe the term promo is a misnomer.
-
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 06:07:24
ya i agree with toast..
there are a lot of ppl that are from other countrys and upsb isn't their main native board.
i understand that upsb is universal...but then we can just find other greatt spinners..like bonito ayatori from japan, kth from pds
mez and dongza from thailand...and say that they are representing upsb...kinda odd.
but its unofficial...then whateva lol.

if want to label, i think just label pen spinners' country instead of the country's community is enough.

wow, dude I don't know why, but you always keep hating me for no good reason at all.
look at your thread, many people suggested before I even posted that it was not a good idea to start a collab so soon, I was just trying to calm people down and not rush things so soon.
stop looking at things so biased. -

why dont you read the post
first day upsb opened, i made a thread like this, its not like its any different, if i would have set up a collab i would have done what i always do, i pm people privately and tell them about collab and open up a thread for them to read about it but zombo was like dood its too earlyyy and im like it'll be fineee
how are things so biased, im just critizing you zombo because the things you say are ridiculous...
here's a big one... i don't even participate in battles anymore because of the basis of how they're judged and of course following that precedent everyone jumps on the bandwagon because of one stupid post... anyway so, i posted my clip which had the end cut off because of youtube and putfile and here's you said about it, "all penspinning combos should have a story, yours doesn't" or something along those lines, the big thing is the 'story' part.
what the HELL does that mean? WTF?! SUPPOSED TO HAVE A STORY? woww this GUY... the ridiculous thing is people picked up your crap and made a thread asking what that meant
god it's not even about that anymore though... i just wanted to make a collab for people to join to show upsb's penspinners, kind of like unofficial upsb 1st opening, and then ppl make more later to show how they improved from first day.
whatever though... and zombo i don't hate you, i respect your penspinning and writing/analysis ability, but when you discuss topics like this it's just ridiculous... and eriror stop sticking up for him, i don't hate you either but i'm talking about zombo
sorry for the troubles -___- -

Wow dude you are acting like a communist... Biased battles? I meen come on. -
Date: Thu, Jan 3 2008 21:51:31
meh i shouldnt have asked that... anyways this is a sign up thread.. not a discussion thread..
i said that because it is a UPSB promo video. so the spinners should be from upsb right?
it will be funny if the title is upsb promo.. then in the video.. it shows jeb. penzone.. something like that. you get the picture right?
lets just stop this. i m sorry if i started this. -
Date: Fri, Jan 4 2008 20:06:45
?
i mean like no one will be marked anything from any board since this is for upsb not penzone, jeb anywhere -

The only 2 posts Zombo made were:QUOTE (Zombo)UPSB is universal. the only filter should be quality.
andQUOTE (Zombo)ok guys calm down, this is not a sign-up thread we don't even know how we're gonna organize this and as I am concerned, this should be an official collab run by the staff.
Atleast 10 other people stated before him that the so soon isn't a good idea.QUOTE (RandomNewb)why dont you read the post

Your topic was quite a bit different, there was no unofficial mentioned in the title and you were thinking about asking Devo for music, that reminds me of the UPSB + PDS which took quite a long time to organize and it wasn't just a "hey guys, who's in, send me a video till the 20th" kind of collab.QUOTE (RandomNewb)here's a big one... i don't even participate in battles anymore because of the basis of how they're judged and of course following that precedent everyone jumps on the bandwagon because of one stupid post... anyway so, i posted my clip which had the end cut off because of youtube and putfile and here's you said about it, "all penspinning combos should have a story, yours doesn't" or something along those lines, the big thing is the 'story' part.

In the battle your talking about you lost for 3 votes, that really isn't much. So it's not like everyone followed Zombo's post. If we compare the combos, your's wins on smoothness and speed but I didn't notice even one backaround, one aerial or other special trick. TLDScorp's was a bit unsmooth but it was visible that he tried to do the best he could with using stuff like counter tricks, nice use of "normal" tricks and at the end the arm roll. It's variety and creativity that would have filled up your combos "story". Also TLDScorp was registered on the forum for only 4 months back then while you were spinning for already around 1 year and 10 months.QUOTE (RandomNewb)i don't even know who you are or how much rep you've gained from our community, but go participate in some battles because i have... so that means i have some experience...
Battles are supposed to be to improve your spinning providing you with a challenge. Now an important thing in battles is also to learn how to accept criticism (positive or negative) and how to accept a lost battle.
If this off-topic stuff continues too much we'll clean the topic a bit. -

Hell no man!!!
This is going to be the first collab from UPSB (ie, the first collab that has UPSB in the title, unofficial or not). The rest of the pen spinning world will get an impression of UPSB and its spinners from this collab. Don't make a normal combo, make something special! -

You don't understand what I mean. I didn't know if he wanted little snippets of people doing combos and just do a lot of editing like most other promos. It is just most promos don't really show people doing their full combo. Most are filled with editing. -
