How has this site survived for so long?
 
There's currently like, what, 2 active people on here max, yet it's existed for like 12 years and still doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon?

As long as YorkeDaddy has music to promote, this site won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

DwnWthVwls 08-17-2016 08:17 AM
2 people is quite the hyperbole... It's not what it was when I joined 2 years ago, but it's still active.

The Batlord 08-17-2016 08:17 AM
Janszoon gives Yac sex once a month. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Congratulations, you can distinguish between hyperbolic and serious statements!

****, maybe I'm getting a bit too ki/batlord, if I continue this slippery slope I'll be one of the biggest *******s around.

DwnWthVwls 08-17-2016 08:46 AM
WB future asshole.

Dylstew 08-17-2016 08:50 AM
I don't think this forum has a good influence on me.

The Batlord 08-17-2016 09:08 AM
We spread like zombies.

Key 08-17-2016 09:55 AM
This forum is very active. You're just not on at the right time.

I agree. Every time I leave for a couple hours and can't access the site, when I get back on, it has a **** load of new posts.

Was it a very active site 2 years ago?

DwnWthVwls 08-17-2016 03:05 PM
No, but i think it was more active then it is now. Im also not on as much as i used to be so maybe its just me.

I'd say it's about the same. The community is much more fun though.

You just answered your own question. It's has more than 12 years worth of content that draws in people who do web searches. This site exists to make money off of the ads that those non-members see. Us members are just free content generators.

We should demand money from the owners. Without us they're on the streets.

We should just all stop showing up at the forum to **** with them for a week.

Dylstew 08-21-2016 04:01 PM
Who the ass made MB anyway?

The Batlord 08-21-2016 04:07 PM
Some random guy who sold it to the current owners. He hasn't been an active member as long as I've been here and I'm pretty sure he was long gone by then as well.

It all started when Larry Musicbanter came up with a great idea.

Do the current owners even give a **** about this site? Like, on RYM you know who Sharifi is. On Newgrounds you see Tom Fulp being very active. On Facepunch forums you know Garry Newman. Something Awful clearly has Lowtax. But on Musicbanter? eeeeeh?? 0.o.

Yac is active, yes. But they don't give a **** about the site.

No. The current owners are some advertising company or something. They're not members at all and probably forget we exist most days of the year.

Soo, we're just add revenue to them?
Let's all have Frownland buy Musicbanter for us.

Exactomundo.

Dylstew 08-21-2016 04:32 PM
Frownland could easily buy the site with the 7 bucks he's gotten from you buying his and Mondo's album.

I can't comment on this, because my job is basically exactly this.

Brace thyself o inquisitive pup, for the story of Music Banter is a dark and bloody tale, one of mystery and intrigue, of spectacle and wonder, and, yes, of a love once pure that grew out of the chaos like a defiant rose, only to give sprout to the thorns of betrayal that would mar it for evermore...

GregB sold the site to the current owners sometime in 2007, I remember seeing the sale on some site where you can buy & sell websites. If I remember correctly it was sold for around the region of $6000 which GregB used to fund a trip to Hawaii.

Dylstew 08-21-2016 05:45 PM
I'd sell this ****hole for 6000 too.

(Am I being too Ki again?)

The Batlord 08-21-2016 05:47 PM
Musicbanter: we'll send yo ass to Hawaii.
