It was a mistake to leave because of the usual minority of self-entitled dipshits.
Still massively grateful for all his shares.
A happy salute and good tidings to you scorepranos. Wherever you are
But we ALL liked them! And we were ALL grateful! Oh what’s the point, you people will just keep blaming the supposed complaints…
Scorepranos, your shares have been awesome! I’m enjoying the hell out of The Avengers, Dark of the Moon, and At World’s End. Merry Christmas all!
People saying, aw it’s not in Flac, or the awful way i’ve seen people say, such and such track is missing, such and such is not the film version…Yeah those aren’t supposed complaints…those are actual complaints, which were stupid and unwarranted…Scorepranos posted things in Flac, some in 320 mp3, others in 224, some in 192, so don’t you think that if he had the ability to upload some of them in Flac, he would’ve, if it’s in 192 kbps thats because it was all he had. He wasn’t stupid, he knew how audio worked, so the complaints of the quality weren’t necessary, nor were the complaints about tracks missing, or non-film versions, etc. It’s discussion yes, but they’re also complaints. Unecessary ones. If i got that kind of stuff on anything I tried to upload, I’d leave too. I’m not happy he left, but I totally understand why he did. Plus, he doesn’t bother to explain why it’s in the quality it is, or why it’s missing certain things, etc, etc, because you’d end up with a paragraph that half the people wouldn’t read anyways, it can be assumed that the quality it’s in is all he has, and that the missing tracks are simply just not there for whatever reason.
I seem to actually recall him saying in one thread he intentionally downgraded. In fact, he even said the more people complained, the lower he’d downgrade. Missing tracks: I’ll give you that. I don’t think he was intentionally holding stuff back like with The Avengers: people moaned about what was on the Intrada release versus the sessions, but it’s likely that those were placed on a separate disc that hasn’t surfaced.
He has posted some good stuff, I’m really glad Spider-Man 3 and The Avengers came out finally, so I do say thank you to him for that.
Even that’s not without its flaws.
No, for the most part they weren’t. You saw "It’s not the film version" as someone whining. They were in fact, providing information that members like myself find interesting if not downright valuable.

I for one greatly appreciate it when uploaders include paragraphs like that. Yes, I would read them! And like ggctuk2005 said, scorepranos did not always share the best quality he had (see here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/transformers-dark-moon-complete-score-steve-jablonsky-117873/5.html#post2033834)). I’m not saying scorepranos was wrong to give us 192 mp3s, I’m just suggesting that you should get your facts straight before making your arguments.
Further proof of what I’m talking about can be found on the first page of the 192 rip for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, where this exchange took place:
Thanks for this, but if i may ask, why only at 192 and not 320? any chance of a higher quality rip?
Cause thats what I wanted to rip it at. I’m not going to rip a higher quality. 192 is just fine. It’s better than nothing.
I will add though that when I saw mentions of cues not being film version, it did not come off as, "Hey everyone just so you know this track isn’t the film version." it came off as "Scorepranos, this isn’t the film version, why not? Where is it? I wannnntt ittttt." just my two cents. I was not aware he had the ability to give us higher quality, my mistake. Regardless, it’s pointless to complain about it. I agree with Scorepranos, it’s better than nothing. So quit complaining or asking. That’s the point im making. If the uploader put it up in a certain quality that was up to them to do so, and im sure they had some sort of reason for it. If you want a better quality, track it down yourselves and rip it yourselves.
I really feel for their decision and find it just.
Karma~

This is it, you see. Personally, I’d rather have the music than not. So what if it’s in a lower bitrate, or if there’s a cue or two missing? I’m not going to nitpick, like for instance, with The Avengers, where some of what I was after was on the Intrada set I bought anyways. It’s unreleased music all the same. My only problem is that it almost seems like the way scorepranos worded his statements were meant to start bickering.
You know Shrine too well~
I’ve been here too long 😀
Anyway, thank you so very much for all your generous shares, my friend 🙂 I hope you’re having a a great holiday season and will return sometime!
God bless

Ok, fair enough. Maybe I’m wrong and they really were complaining. If I’ve learned anything from all this, it’s that none of us are perfect communicators!

^ I think this summarizes it very well.
If he leaves, bye bye.
This forum is greater than any uploader.
I’ll miss scorepranos.

We still have lots of good people like him to be happy with namely in no particular order (stereoelf, drhousetapachula, jessie, orangec, booster, mazterzprime,kafaraqgatrhi, amanda, sanico, wdp4ever, ggctuk, jacksparrow900, yannis, williamtaylor, funnyml and more more more names deserving to accommodate this particular thread…) Crying over spilled milk is not gonna bring back scorepranos after all the only guy who knows him is he himself alone. It’s his decision and choice and let’s just respect that and start to move on.
Before I forgot we have Sara to thank with, for without her none of this would have been possible!!
Thank you very much dear Admin!!
If this kind of "Oh no! Scorepranos has left for good, quick everyone, let’s say goodbye and how much we missed him!" didn’t get posted, spreading this information so widely, then scorepranos might even consider to continue posting. After all, he could have shrugged his shoulders and come back after he cooled off a bit or after he put things into perspective.
But of course now, that he’s "gone" he might consider not returning or posting openly again, after all it would look silly for him to keep posting after this thread so blatantly states that he’s decided to leave. In fact wasn’t his statement more about not posting more scores rather than leaving altogether?…
This thread is pointless whichever way you choose to look at it. He knows who appreciated his work, and his shares. And if he’s really into this for sharing and not imaginary sympathy points, he will continue to share. I’m sure he didn’t make any money out of snatching and sharing those soundtracks, so only he knows what his reasons for sharing were. If they were legitimate and in the spirit of giving, he’ll keep posting. If not, then we know he was just in this for his ego boosts.
Imaginary credit for a non-commercial leak of a soundtrack in an anonymous forum is as good as watering plants in the rain.
I did not delete my shares because the "law" is after me. If they were after me for my uploaded scores, they they would be after EVERYONE on here who HAS uploaded unreleased and
officially released scores since. Clearly he’s some idiot high school drop out who thinks he knows everything because he read it on the internet. Because if it’s on the internet, it must be
real.
it’s literally the worst place to be.
i’d rather hang out in 4chan than read anything on h-z.com.
it makes wikipedia seem like a more viable source.

yeah Scorepranos!!! your word is the law. That’s what i call "Problem resolved"
As someone once said you can please some of the people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time!
You too?! I saw a discussion on there last night where someone is saying I have the complete scores to all of Alan Menken’s 1990s work just because I posted a number of Disney song instrumentals on here that, up until I’d posted them, no one knew existed in that format! Some people will go to any length to try and ‘will’ something into existence, but on this occasion, it just isn’t going to happen!

Well you leave some other great contributors out, like Wildwood Park, nachito-pop, Erich.Gold, betohome, and some others, i mean if someone of these guys decide not to post anymore they will be miss too, for example Wildwood he`s not posting for quite some time and noboby is talking about that i miss his posts, i`m new here but i have enjoyed more the contributions of these guys than any other.
The fact is that every member is important, and we can`t say that if one member decides to leave this forum will be "boring", c`omon people let`s not be drastic, this Forum is far more important than one individual.
Sure i`m grateful for the Rec Sessions of The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman, Avatar, The Green Hornet, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 2
Besides maybe that`s just me but i enjoy more an Expanded or a Complete version, officially release by any label for the listening experience is more satisfactory, and i`m saying this as a musician myself.
I must have missed the boat but why has he gone? He will be missed.
The forum is a place to get music for the major part of you. For a smaller part, it is also a social interaction. Those wanting music may indeed find it "boring" as there are less goodies for them, and just plain ole regular releases. Those who enjoy an occasional conversation will not be affected one bit.
It took Inception to get him burned?
It’s been shouted from the rooftops what Garage is, and yet scorepranos saw fit to do business with him? Intriguing…
Maybe it was sort of like a final straw thing. He would probably have posted a lot of the stuff he did without the knowledge or consent of his sources at any rate.
This one is the MOST fake thing i have ever seen, but if this is true! and scorepranos recently shared TDKR the real sessions, he must be an Asshole!
