It's gone!  Well, apparently, someone e-mailed a record label about the download section of the board, so it was shut down. There are no words on whether it will be up again sometime in the future.  Well, I guess you can expect some members to return back to the Fields of Innocence Forums.  |

Oh that's just great. 
Now if I wanna have some Eva downloads, I'll need to hang out over evthreads in the hope that pple actually rip things.  Hehehe...I am ready to bet that there will be another "FBM-like" board eventually.
In the mean time, I guess I'll be posting here, and lurking over evthreads. Sucky though. I'll miss FMB; it was great community for all sorts of downloads. ETA: BTW Evan, where did you get that info?

Well...that's stupid. *annoyed*
Who was the mole I wonder...and how could they tell we were doing 'downloading/uploading' if that section of the board was blocked off to new members?
Ugh...so...I wonder what the new FMB (there HAS to be one) will be like?

I'll miss it too. It really was a great board. That's where I got a bunch of downloads from as well. I got the information from discussion over at EvThreads. |

^^Thanks Evan. I finally saw the thread over evthreads.
Darn, I am so annoyed by this. Now I'm gonna have to work hard in order to get bootlegs or quality rip from videos.

Yeah, me too. I was expecting the Yahoo! Nissan Live Set to be ripped already be the time that I returned back to home from school, but no. Two annoyances today. |

You're still here. Yay! I thought that you disappeared. John was here for at least a minute too.  I guess the Yahoo! thing will be ready tonight or tomorrow instead?  EDIT: Apparently, a new board has been set up to fill in FMB's void (sort of):femmemetaladdicts.ipbfree.com/index.php?Hmmm... I'm not sure if I'm going to join yet.  |

^^^Yeah, I just saw this.
Hum...not sure if I'll join yet either. I'll bookmark this and check it out from time to time.
That being said, the mods have to say that they are not trying to replace FBM. If they were to say that they set this up to replace FMB, they'd most likely be shut down.

Ugh, I don't like wanna-be FMB boards. *waaa*
Look at MLB Fourms; that died completely and not even Siren Metal/Rock Sirens could even fix that. Both of those died within...what four months? Most of MLB went to FMB. Now where will FMB go? Surely not FMA (although like members are already on there), since there can be no downloading/uploading.
Of course I decided to wait on downloading Tarja's "The Seer" and of course that link is now lost in oblivion *scavenges Tarja Fourms*

the record labels are getting serious about bootlegs. recently, they won a few hundred thousand from a woman, for downloading using a program like Limewire. We were one of the first to get hit a while ago, but apparently, not the last. the only thing you guys can do now is use e-mail. even yousendit and sites like that will get in serious trouble for hosting copywritten stuff.

Apparently, the label that received the e-mail was Nuclear Blast (the label who has Nightwish, After Forever, Epica , etc.), who asked the Femme Metal Board to shut down. So they had to do it or face legal action due to all the illegal downloading. |

Record label sucks. Although I do get their pt. 
You guys should move to Canada. Last time I checked the record companies wanted to sue pple, but they didn't let them do it. Apparently, we already pay an extra tax on CDs/Dvds just for copyright purposes, so they can't sue us. ;D
