Pourmeanother was pretty spot on with his discription of the lifecycle of a forum. I've witnessed it first hand a couple of times and it's always fascinating.

But I ended up here when I was googling some band trying to find a link to download an old album I couldn't find in any of the usual places (I forget which band) and lo and behold not only was there a thread on the band but somebody had posted a link to the album even though that's apparantly against the rules (I'm definately not complaining).

So I basically stuck around to check out the other artists in the indie section that I haven't heard off.

I wanna say this site started in 03' or at least that's the oldest member I've seen.

I don't remember what brought me to join this place, it was inl ate June. I Imagine I joined around 1-3 am considering that was pretty much the only time I used the computer in the summer. Probably bored one night by myself and I do remembering googling "music forum" first choice.

I am so glad I joined,my taste has expanded so much. When I joined a was close minded and would dismiss anything that wasn't approvedby Kurt Cobain (yea, i was lame).

I remember joining thinking this owuld just be a temporary thing.

well if the oldest member is from 2003, and its still running, I say its doing pretty good.

exactly hehe


so now you understand why i was so harsh with you when you started hehehe

I was getting tired of the other forum I was on so as many others I googled 'music forum' and voila! It's pretty nice here. It's active yet it's not so packed that I have no idea who's who.

My brother Tom I ventured to get him hot and bothered with my avatar

I was in 3 forums some years ago, and the 3 of the, collapsed the month I joined. So it did feel like a curse (and still feeling like was). So I was bored on a summer afternoon, trying to download some new album, so I googled and got some forums to join. I joined the first one, and in the next 5 minuted I felt that I should get to the other. The second one was MB, and I got hooked up ever since.

*Those freakishly tall and professional reviews really did it for me.

I looked for a metal forum, but all of them sucked major **** and used to dismiss me because I'm only 15. I found this forum via teh Googz and have really started to fall in love with it.

was playing a racing game called midnitechallenge with alejo, rockafella, xarius and some others we talked alot about music in the forums there, then rocka said ill just make a music forum, then this happened.

Try allmetalforums.com. Really active site and lots of members that share your taste in music.
