Site Update: Who is Really a Newcomer?

There was a small, but important change made on this site about exactly which acts (groups) are considered newcomers. Bottom line is that the status of an act (group) is now determined by the combination of its individual members.

For example, prior to this change the act called Censor Design was considered a Newcomer in 2023, because the first remix this group released was in 2023. Even though in Remix64's database this group lists two members: LMan and Makke, neither of whom is a newcomer, as it should be clear by pretty much everybody who follows the remix scene.

With this latest change, Censor Design is now designated with the Veteran badge, because its individual members have been active since the year 2000.

Besides being more accurate, it also means that Censor Design will no longer be eligible for the Best Newcomer category for ROTY 2023. However, we hope everyone agrees that this is a fair change that better reflects their actual remixer status.

Please, bear with us, as It may take a few days until everything on the site is updated to reflect this new policy. If you find acts (groups) whose badges or active periods you think are incorrect, please, feel free to report them to us.

Thanks!
