I'm guessing by the fact that you guys cancelled the facebook event that you didn't get the gig? LAME.

See, this is one of the many reasons bucky is awesome. While (nearly) everyone else made jokes and poked fun, he actually took the time to look up the question and give a helpful, thought out reply.
Kudos.

I've entered compos using that site before and it's usually been quite smooth. The deadlines, uploads, cutoffs and voting are all handled on the server, so it's a lot les organizational work. You can easily see all the songs in the competition and vote and comment on them. Here's an example of a what a competition page looks like (this one is finished): http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/OHC100I'll definitely look into it and see if I could use it for a competition here. This seems like a great idea!
The only drawback with compo.thasauce.net is the lack of anonymity, but apart from that, it's a pretty nifty system. Handles the uploading, file tagging, etc.
Ramaniscence (the guy who runs ThaSauce) is a swell guy, and I can say the same for pretty much every one else on that site as well.
http://www.solidcomposer.com/arena/ is another option as well. The interface is pretty well thought out, and has a built in chat and music player. It'll host project files as well. Any registered user can create and host a competition, and it seems pretty easy to do so.
Like compo.thasauce.net, it doesn't allow for anonymous entries, but superjoe is pretty active in updating and maintaining the site and I'd be willing to bet that he wouldn't have a problem adding in that feature if someone wanted it.

Re: Worst Comments Received for Liking Chipmusic. (208 replies, posted in General Discussion)
"ugh please tell me people are not still doing this. chiptune or fakebit or whatever it's being called now is such a goony genre. what is the appeal? is it people who are like "video games?? i remember playing video games!!" who keep this style alive? this is the aural equivalent of the mengele experiments. i would rather perform a trepanation on myself with a cheese doodle than listen to another chiptune. in a hundred years we are going to look back on this the exact same way we look back on smoking ads from the 20s. "what the fuck were we thinking!" we'll say as we browse through some sperglords complete chiptune library on the hyper-3D-smell-o-scopic-internet of the 22nd century. People will use chiptune music as a form of torture for space terrorists. "did people actually ENJOY this kind of thing?" our space grandchildren will ask. imagining a human being who likes this stuff is like imagining someone who likes going to church. im sure these people exist but why do they do it to themselves??? im baffled. truly baffled."
"sure maybe if i was playing kirby on nes at age 7 i would have thought that it was ok but i wouldnt, a decade and a half later, actively seek out people who make standalone nes music because i remember bleep bloop shit from when i was an idiot baby. sure, im given to bouts of stupid nostalgia for shit that wasn't even good when it came out - i watch those miserable live action ninja turtles movies and i listen to the worst "alt-rock" the 90s had to offer. the difference is that im not at all fucking interested in the latest updates in ninja turtle live action movie technology. has it been remastered to blu-ray? i dont give a shit. will it be remade into a 250-million-dollar-budget hollywood summer blockbuster? i fucking hope not. I dont care if Local-H are going on tour. I'm not eagerly anticipating Harvey Danger's newest album. I'm not an idiot baby anymore - I'm an idiot grownup."
