Holy shit, is the board back?

Severian · 06.26.2026, 09:06 AM

I haven’t been able to access this thing for like a solid year. What happened?!

Severian · 06.28.2026, 07:14 PM

Is it back and nobody knows it? Probably. Has everyone moved on? Also probably.

I just happened to click on an old bookmark, and there it was! The board! Where in the hell has it been the past year?

No clue, but I’ve been checking daily because, y’know, decade-plus-long habit.
Hope it’s back-back.

Since it's been so long, I think a lot of the members proabably stopped checking to see if the board was back up, so they don't know it's back up. I did send a private message to The Soup Nazi telling him it's back up. Maybe we should all notify some of the members.

Severian · 07.01.2026, 08:39 AM

I sent an email to Symbols too.

The Soup Nazi · 07.02.2026, 05:29 AM

Holy shit is right!

W.T.F?

Skuj · 07.02.2026, 01:44 PM

Well, who does this? ie Lets a place die, then quietly brings it back to life?

I looked at my last few posts. I think there was, like, 7 of us in 2024?

A LOT has happened to me since the demise. If this place actually grows again, I'd like to think that I will be...better!

Severian · 07.02.2026, 09:06 PM

Last time I was in here much I’m pretty sure I got into a fight with someone who called me the R-word? And maybe it had something to do with me defending the fact that someone liked Charli xcx?

Anyway. Weird times. Yes, a lot has changed.

Personally I don’t think anything will get better here because there aren’t enough people to make it better, or worse.

Missed some of you, though. To the extent that one can miss a person one occasionally types little messages in a bottle to.

Skuj · 07.03.2026, 04:19 AM

Yeah. Agree. Whoever brought this back from death, thanks. But my hopes are not high.

I suppose it could more fun than emailing though.

Well, it's up to us. Perhaps it's true that we're ten people, but so what, let's keep it nice and rockin'. Not that I will say such and such music isn't crap when it's clearly crap, but there are ways of going about it.

Also, very important: if some entity (human, bot, whatever) is obviously trolling, do NOT feed them. Certainly don't quote them. There's way too much violent rage out there nowadays; engaging with irrelevant minor bad actors should be the least of our concerns.

This board has a nice archival by-function. Would've been a pity if none could access it anymore. So thanks to whoever salvaged it. Will lurk, occasionally contribute from now on, maybe.

They finally fixed server/database connectivity issues.

Not quite. Right now, clicking on the "what are you listening to?" thread takes me to this all-time classic:

Severian · 07.11.2026, 05:01 PM

Yep, I was just gonna say this thing disappears again evert 48 hours or so. Lol.

it's shaky still. They should probably upgrade the server.
