Lemonade Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I signed up as Elwood in 2002 to try and find a new band (which I did and later became Elwood Dedos). Though I stopped posting in 03 for about a year and I had to sign up again when I rejoined. Did something happen that meant everyone's memberships got cancelled or something?

Lemonade Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Back in about 2002, 2003 it seemed everybody you spoke to who was either in a band or went to gigs was a member of Ab music, (or at least the gigs I was going to anyway, which were mostly of the metal or punk persuasion). These days I tend to find a lot of people are aware of the site but don't use it, either because they haven't registered, or they have and just didn't find it very useful.

Diesel Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I worked with Neil (Chris was at the same place for a while). Think the site came up in conversation, either that or someone else from the same office put me on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I can't remember why I joined, I'm sure there was a good reason.I know quite a few folk who read Ab-Music, but don't post as they feel it can be a quite hostile atmosphere, which I don't really agree with as there are a lot of worse message boards out there.

The Subtle Arts Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I joined here before moving to Aberdeen back in 2006 with the intent of getting to know people with similar intrests and look for a band to get straight into. Now things are flowing I'm here once again to promote gigs and the band etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one has. I think you've probably got an IQ of 40 though, if your posts on here are anything to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Apparently I joined in 2005... Probably cause that was about the time I gave up on trying and failing to get my "I've never heard of them so I'm not going to see them" type mates to go to gigs and decided to start going on my own.Never really been a regular poster, for no reason other than... well, no, just for no reason!

jamesbroonbreed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Perhaps it's because internet is still expensive in Peterheed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
