How did you Find Music Banter?
 

I don't wanna tell you guys the reason i googled "music forums" but I did, and I'm kinda glad i joined.
Theres a true, sad and Fukt up story behind it all! :(
I will take it to my grave.
I'm here still tho,learning and getting to know everyones e- personality and such.
Ive butt heads and really freaked out a few people:p: in the progress
but you live and you learn!

So tell us how you came about this Forum.

I heard about it from Rickenbacker cause I know him in real life. This was in June but I didn't post for about a month, until I friended Bulldog on Last.fm and he reminded me about it.

So you know other users in real life.

LOL that sounds so retarted, but i know what you mean.

so basically you were referred to the site.

I like your siggy pic. Im a towel too sometimes, mostly when i forget where the hell i put my stash at. LMao

I only know one user who posts here regularly and that's Rick. I just met Bulldog on last.fm

And thanks, it's a Southpark reference. Towelie is one of the characters who appears in a couple episodes.

Um, I was bored one night. Hadn't used a forum in a while. Googled it. Nearly didn't join cos the size of it put me off. But I seen it as like some sort of challenge to get used to all the people. But it's not as big as I imagined, and I'm glad I joined.

I just googled music forum. The site I used to moderate before this one collapsed due to infighting between all the other mods and admins as well. I'd left out of boredom a while before all that happened though.

i joined because it's the '5 years ago' version of a relatively dead music forum i mod / admin. i was curious to see if it would follow the same decline. it is.

so your saying^^WERE all gonna die?!!

lol

Well I like it here.
and im not going anywhere..Muaaaaaa*evil laugh* jk

yes, the fact that we all die someday is the only thing that truly makes living worthwhile everyday.

as for the state of the site i just find it interesting from a e-socioligical perspective. seems to be 'normal' for online communities as opposed to something specific with any site.

I heard that!

:beer:


well how long has this site been running?

whats the year of establishment?

and whos the Jefe around here?

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.

I actually got to the point where I was freaking out because no-one liked the same music as me. And I needed intellectually similar people to talk bout music with.
^_^

I would come on here every now and then just to read,but was not a member. One day when I couldnt think of who sung a song that had been on and off in my head for more then 10yrs,I decided to join.Thats when I asked who sung this etc,freebase answered it and the rest is history.

I was looking for a good child porn site, but I somehow stumbled across this place.

Ah, humble beginings.

The URL came to me in a dream.

I searched "Music Forum" on google.
checked this site out.
made an account.
the end.

That's funny, I thought it was actually getting bigger and better each year.

OT: Googled music forums, back then this was the first result. Second forum I ever belonged to. First was for Christian gays. I know, right... seems like a century ago...:|

Used to be. ;)

^ I knew you'd reach that conclusion all along mate.

I was searching for a reference to an old punk venue near where I live called The Mayflower Club and somehow ended up here.
I noticed a thread on The Kinks (a band I love and highly rate) made by Stu (then, LedZepStu) and realised after a few visits that this site wasn't a bad place to read about what other people were listening to.
To be frank, I still do more reading than posting. I don't think my post average has ever gone higher than 5 posts per day.
Since joining this forum I now belong to another forum which specialises in rare soul where I post far more.

The potential of this place is massive.
It has a multi-national membership which gets bigger every year and covers just about every music genre going.
There's still a long way to go and together we can help make this forum the biggest and best music site on the internet.

Edit: oops...soz Marijan I started off editing my original post to include that lot ^ and somehow deleted my original comment after refreshing the page. :/
Probable cause...alcohol.

I've had that problem for years....I read so much and type so little.

I also came here through a google search. I'm a member of a norwegian music forum, but it's dead so this is the only forum at the moment where I'm active. Before coming here, I was active on various other forums, mostly related to gaming.

I was looking for a band, googled it, and the 3rd or 4th result was some site called Music Banter. So I went there, looked through the forum for a while and ended up joining. It's the only forum I've ever really been an active member of.

Do you remember what band it was?

I also found it through google. I looked up something about Black Metal and then I saw an electronica section and got all giddy. Until I realized the majority of the members stayed in the rock and metal sections.. but that was more or less to be expected.

i'm gregb's drug dealer.

I found the place when I was 16 and obsessed with message boards. It is the best boards I've ever been on for sure! I feel like an old lady now. I am still pining for old members though.

You're 20?? Holy shit.

it cant be much worse than a late night google search surely.

"Brazilian Fart Porn"

I think I searched Swirlies shoegaze or something like that and for some reason I went to the second page of results. I saw a link to some site called musicbanter and was interested, and here I am.

Saw a link to it on another forum, which I never go on anymore.
