To answer your question in chat -- since I'm on the new user delay and must wait 24 hours after "regsitering" -- Buildism was dead by 2013, unfortunately 
It had been renamed 2DWorlds for a while, but eventually it became one of those Ctulhu-code things where it became a giant sprawling mess that didn't work anymore. Although I can't remember if it was the Java end or the PHP end that performed the killing blow...
But in 2011 and 2012, man, I pretty much lived there. It was basically my first real internet community, and introduced me to most of the software I've used since, like Audacity, LMMS, GitHub, even Minecraft. Had something like 6,000 posts across two accounts in those forums.
OnlineSequencer in 2013, on the other hand... you couldn't make note lengths, and at first you couldn't import MIDI, either. Piano was the only instrument at the very start, but then there was acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, electric piano, and... something else. Can't remember what the last one or two were. It's been a while, of course.
