where did the FMB's go??
and thank you guys for your input.
as for the leaks and downloads, I know that you guys really missed/miss those. I really wish we could, but since that first notification, I know they're keeping an eye on us for that reason, and we lost so much that first time. I'm sad about that.

I'm sorry, John. I didn't mean to make you feel like I singled you out or whatever. I was just listing some members as examples, not necessarily to point fingers at them, but I admit that listing names was rude. I honestly just didn't think that you would ever even read this topic because you didn't visit often. But then FMB got shut down out of nowhere. The whole situation is just so weird and unexpected. Well, the end of a board can lead to new beginnings. Perhaps, we can "bring FOI to life" again. Anyways, please accept my apology.

I for one don't see how mentioning somebody is rude...most likely depends of the context I guess. Besides, if you're talked about, doesn't it mean that your missed?
hehehe...I do remember the holiday downloads...good times, good times.

well. as beeing said; i went to FMB. But i haven't been active there since the board become too postwhore-y. or whatever i can say. when like 1000 of ppl joined, the board just become boring. at least for me, because i felt i didn't knew anyone there, like i did before. and now, right before it died, i didn't even post at all (if i did, it would probably just be asking for a song or two) FoI will (actualy, i think) always have a place in my heart. It's the best Evanescence forum i've ever been to. I mean, the poeple here are so nice to each other and we help each other when we need help. We can talk about serious things and random things like what we eat. lol. I'll try to post here more, because i miss the good old FoI days. John: reading what you wrote brings back so many good memories

We are just such a good community here at FOI, aren't we? I liked what John wrote his post too, about the old days. Anyways, I found the old posts of the holiday downloads from FOI 3, if you guys are interest in reminiscing. Remember, these links are from two years ago and are all dead, so we're not uploading/downloading anything or going against the rules (you corporate bastards! ). All three posts were posted by John (DarkFlare89): Enjoy!

I'm not exactly a big fan of remixes either, but some of them are cool or interesting. I just download whatever I can find, even though I may not listen to the song very often afterwards.
Aww... John is missing out on all of the fun. I think he doesn't have work today. He must be doing homework or something, I don't know. It's too bad, because he would probably love all of this excitement. ;D

Sometimes I get my paranoid spells...sorry about that. (I blame my school! Gahh!) Aww, everyone is remembering FOI3 *hugs to all* Hehe, yay for my holiday uploads. We totally out-uploaded FMB back in FOI3 days. Ooh, Christmas Day 2 Uploads...I remember, the day after that my father got my computer infected with a virus....but that's long ago and my computer is still alive *knock on wood* Mwhaha. Truls, you only got 34GB? That reminds me of my days pre-my external harddrive. Hehe, my Eva collection isn't even 34GB (at least I don't think. I know it's 26+, my NW is like 15+ and WT is 10+ the rest are much smaller (around 2-5 GB) Oh I remember Caf! Hehe, I'm still looking for those videos Caf (if your out there watching!), I think I almost got them all. (Alls I need is the Top Of The Pops other alternative video, then I think I got them all!) Hmm...I remember drusila too. Buffy...who was that? Was that Keely's old name? Oh the good ol' days...

Yeah, I do believe drusila uploaded a sound file of her singing and she had a nice voice. I'm pretty sure that I remember that happening. John, you have 26+ GB of Evanescence! I don't think I have anywhere near that amount. Well, I do have a lot of stuff on three different hard drives. On the computer that I'm using now, I have 6.95 GB in my Evanescence folder. I have some songs that are outside of the folder though as well. I have a lot more Evanescence stuff on my other computer, I believe. My external hard drive has a lot of stuff too that neither of the other two hard drives have. Hmmm... I guess I have to make some calculations.

Hmm, well, where I went was grad school. So time consuming. The classes wouldn't be bad on their own, but I'm doing research, and my professor expects me to spend all my time on it. What free time I do have, I don't really spend on boards. I think I actually stopped coming here initially because when I moved to Texas, I was internet-less for a while, and after those three weeks or so, I got intimidated trying to catch up, and it seemed like it was mostly games that were being updated, which I find boring, so I got out of the habit of coming here. But I've not really had time/energy for boards, anyway, since I don't have time/energy for all the other things I want to do or have to do such as shopping, cleaning, etc. I didn't update my livejournal for like two months either. I will admit I just stopped by to see if I could find out if FMB was actually gone. I didn't actually read a lot of threads there. I mostly just checked the picture and downloads threads every day unless I was waiting for news about things like Within Temptation's big show. This is a better board for talking, but I will miss FMB's resources. I'm also not really interested in Evanescence as a band anymore. I still love the music--every time I listen to The Open Door I am amazed by how much I enjoy it--but I've gotten so frustrated by news about the band that I just gave up even caring. So if I did want to talk about a band, it was Within Temptation or Epica, probably, and thus to FMB I went. I may show up here more often, if I get over my perpetual exhaustion, but maybe not.

^What you said about not being interested in the band and being frustrated by the news. I often thought that is why maybe some people stopped coming here.
I personally have been put off with all the drama in the band which I think is one reason I haven't really been here much. I mean all bands have drama but damn! Evanescence brings the drama, don't they? lol
