Ahhh so it was Nuclear Blast who shut it down. I always thought Wind-Up would be the one...
Aww...poor FMB *visits grave of FMB and weeps. It's with MLB up in heaven now...*

You know what I'll miss more than the downloads? The picture threads. I buy most everything by bands I like, and I'm not terribly interested in bootlegs, but the picture threads were nice. The occasional very high quality bootleg is also nice, and unlike normal releases, those are kind of hard to find.
And of course hiding the downloads in a "hidden" forum does you no good if everyone keeps mentioning the downloads section in the normal threads.
Anyway, I was upset over this for a day or so, but I've migrated to checking the picture threads at the official WT and Epica forums, so I think I'll get over it. It's sad to see such an active place go, though.

If the pictures are online, they are fair game, really (unless they're from a magazine of questionable reputation), so why not start your own pic thread here? Just a thought.

They won't be able to do the downloads again. Just like us, once caught, they'll be watched closely, by the powers that spy. We didn't get quite as large as them, but at one time, we had a few hundred regular posters, if you guys remember far enough back. It's really hard to recover from that, when you can't offer the same things that were offered before the shut down, and we weren't totally shut down.

My guess is that *if* FMB II can survive and still share bootlegs, they are freaking lucky. But no, FMB won't be the same anymore.

Yeah. The record companies have serious lawyers, and we don't, so we lose. I'm so surprised we got popped first.

Funny, I didn't though it was ever going to be back. Oh well. I was only there for the downloads.

Hehe... John found his way to forum now. Why doesn't he ever come over here anymore though?

Ask him over there, and find out?

Eh... I wouldn't really want to bother him or anything. I already asked him if he would take a look at the lists that I have been developing. He sort of left a vague response and it doesn't seem like I should get my hopes up too high. I guess he will probably visit here again eventually though. I'll try asking him again soon and see what happens.

I just asked him. I guess we'll just see what happens. I've also noticed that nyohah has recently joined FMB.

I so totally did not abandon FOI , it's just that *looks around, hears crickets* It's not very bustling And besides, Evanescence isn't doing anything now...so, that is why I'm usually at FMB. Since other bands are doing other things, I can keep on top of what they are doing from there. That plus my 40 hour week at my job doesn't leave much fourm hopping going on. I mean, it's been months since I've been on ev.it, and LORD knows how long since I've been on The Promise Fourms. So, don't feel bad *hugs* Usually when I *do* pop up here, I don't sign in, I just look around to see if anything new has happened.
