Age (Optional):
24

Location
Republic Of Ireland

Music preference :
Indie, Alternative

How long have you been a member?
3 years and 3 months

What made you join a music forum?
I just wanted to be able to discuss music with people who have the same taste in music as i do, and also to discover tons of great new music.

How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities?
It has the most intelligent and open-minded members compared to other music forums i've visited. The discussions are more detailed, informative and in-depth.

How does Music make you feel and what it means to you?
Music makes me feel a lot of things: comfort, sadness, happiness, aggression... basically the whole spectrum of human emotion depending on what i listen to. Music means a lot to me, it's one more reason to live.

Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more?
No matter how long you use this forum you will always discover new music. New members come along and introduce you to a whole new world of music you never knew existed.

Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum?
No experiences or incidents really stick out for me, i tend to avoid or miss all the drama that occurs on this forum haha.

What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here?
I've certainly learned to have a wide open mind when it comes to music. Whether it's ambient electronica, indie-pop or progressive metal there's always some incredible music to discover.

Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance?
Hmm that's a though question... i guess one thing would be to never take music forums too seriously.

Real Name (Optional):

Out of curiosity, how do you pronounce your name? It was hard to figure out by looking at it for me.

Actually, I would advise against posting real names and your ages here as it might throw what's left of your anonymity straight out the window. This is something I feel current and aspiring moderators in particular might want to be careful with.

I might sound a bit paranoid, but security problems do and have happened.

Age (Optional): 20

Location: Pennsylvania

Music preference?
Uhh.. I don't really have one. Electronic stuff I guess? I think I listen to electronic stuff most, so yeah.

How long have you been a member?
Coming up on 2 years.

What made you join a music forum?
I was looking to branch out of what I had already listened to.

How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities?
It seemed neat.

How does Music make you feel and what it means to you?
It's kind of hard to explain. It's pretty intense to be honest. I can't keep still, it will bring up all kinds of images and memories, and can completely change how I feel. That's why I try not to listen to sad music, but I still do.

Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more?
The community and the people here.

Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum?
I don't think I've ever had just one certain experience that was interesting. I was surprised to see people ask me for suggestions and stuff though.. I'm not used to that. I'm more used to "what the fuck are you listening to?" or "do u kno ne good tehcno 4 liek.. partys....,, cuz i kno u liek tecnho"

What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here?
Give everything a shot at least once. Except country.

Real Name (Optional): Tim

Age (Optional): 16.
Location: Georgia, USA.
Music preference: I'm into a little bit of everything. I listen to mostly metal and country music, I would say.
How long have you been a member? 7 nearly 8 months. Joined in May of 2010.
What made you join a music forum? Because I'm always open to discuss, share and find new music.
How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities? Plenty of music sections and had some extremely knowledgeable people.
How does Music make you feel and what it means to you? Just depends on what type of music it is. I often times listen to music that's fitting to my mood at that particular time.
Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more? I can usually come here and within reading the first page in a thread find myself new tunes.
Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum? Cant really say I have had anything interesting happen really because I'm not here nearly enough.
What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here? Like I said above the new music I've been made aware of by this forum will stay with me, hopefully, forever.
Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance? Its positive because you can discuss things with people and usually find open minded people, and have a fairly intelligent conversation with the person or people. On the negative side of that there's always going to be close minded people when it comes to music.

improvements can always be made, but when this place was in its golden age it was a mecca for intelligent, diverse discussion on music and a plethora of other subjects.

Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum?
