History of MMFE?

I remember discovering the old blog a little under a year ago, and eventually making my way to the forum (which had a dramatically different look than it does now). The first people I remember encountering were Everlost, Jester and someone who had that "Coming to a church near you--Burzum" picture as their avatar (this person also loved The Doors--was this guy any of you?). Anyway, how many of you have been here since "the beginning", and how close to the beginning was I?

Share, bitches.

Good thread idea, man

=]

Andddddd...lesseeeee. I discovered the blog about...2 months before the first forums were made, I believe. I loved the blog, and read the shoutbox very often. Then, I saw the announcement that the forum was going to be made, and waited anxiously for it to happen. I don't remember the exact member number for the first forums that I was, but I was pretty close to the first few. Member 12, or something like that. I don't remember

Anyways. I was there from the start of the forums, but I don't know how long the blog was around before that, so I definetely wasn't around from the beginning of that.

Oh...and I think the guy with the Burzum avatar was Lost Wisdom.

=P

I got on board not much earlier before the first forum got closed

Haha, yeah, the guy with the Burzum flyer was me.. but that wasn't on the very first board. I remember signing up on the 2nd board.

Yea...I seemed to remember you not being on the first one.

I could be completely wrong though

I joined the first forum maybe a month or 2 before it was closed down. When the second one started, I think I was like member 70 or something like that, and that's when I got into uploading albums, and being a bigger contributor.

The blog(s) I just found surfing looking for music. I think that's how I found out about the forum too.

I remembered: I found the blog when looking for Jesu EPs...

I found the blog when I was searching for "Hot guys named LordHangnail and Loke"

LOLOLOLOL

Flail.

I'll whack you with a flail making you fail.

I wasn't. I joined the 2nd forum and read that the 1st was closed due to technical difficulties.

I remember I started going to the blog around last year probably like March or so......so I"ve been around for probably a year

I used the shoutbox occasionally but not much.....mostly used it to download albums

Until we got a forum, didn't join until probably summer but then they closed the blog down so I joined the forum to see why and stayed ever since.......this is my fav forum besides my main one, the Ozzfest forum knockoff, RockandMetalviews.com

I found out about the blog around March 2007. Than when a forum was made I was one of the first members. The first forum member I came in contact with was some dude that was a Metalocalypse fan and had an avatar with a cartoon animal (racoon?) that looked like a zombie. He was a cool dude, but he has left us a long time ago.

Damnit...I can't remember his name

I remember him though

I don't know who you talk about.

I don't think he returned after the first forum was shut down

Ohh. that makes sense.

Word word

When was the first gay joke?

I haven't got a clue to when I discovered the blog, but that was first then the first forum, then the second and now this one. I think that's how it went, but I can't for the life of me remember when I found the blog.

I found the blog through projectw, disq was posting 2007 albums up there, and always left a link to the blog, went to it once or twice, before projectw closed down(for however long it took for the new people to take control) I had a slight memory of it...I searched for a week trying to find the blog, but without knowing the name it was quite difficult. Found it eventually, but it was shut down, but then I noticed the forum, and joined...and leeched alot...till a couple of weeks before it got shut down, when I had decided to start uploading...but I didn't get any links up

If I remember correctly, I wasn't a hit among you guys right away. I think I had to win a few of you over. It's weird how we became some sort of internet family.

When was the first gay joke?

God, I have no clue, but it was certainly me and you who made it so big. The gayness has died down though...thats probably a good thing. Hahaha.

I <3 balls.

hahahahah

I remember "joking" about gayness alittle bit, but I don't think it really stuck til I blew it in your hair.

We made it what it was, but you're right. Its died down quite a bit. =P

Its cause this forum isn't as active as the others were. But....if we get the Soap Opera going again, the gayness shall be resurrected.

Haha. We can't have MMFE without the gayness, and the soap was pretty much the most fun I had on these forums back when we started it.

I found the blog ages before i found the forum. Mainly because i was too lazy/stupid to actually look around the blog for anything other than albums. I have no idea what number forum i joined, but i think i joined around June/July last year. The first person i remember was Jester funnily enough. You used to post like a demon

Man MMFE has quite a history.

discovered the blog first, then the first forum, signed up but never really posted a lot. Then the second forum a bit more active. And now here.

haha, yeah, that's how I got aware of the blog as well. "My metal corner (Lots of 2007 releases)". =D
