Posted March 29, 200619 yr I can't think of a better way to explain things, so let's have a sort of FAQ... but ignore the fact that these questions aren't really 'frequently asked/answered'. :lol: Feel free to pitch in at any time... Why a separate forum? Couldn't this have stayed a part of the original rock/indie forum? Well, yeah, it probably could have, but general concensus is that they're different enough to warrant splitting up. I've seen it work well on other forums and I'm hoping to make it work well on here. Given that the style is something of a trend at the moment, I think it'll do well for the site. What belongs in here? The original premise for the forum was 'emo/punk/metal', so I think that's a fair way to go about it. I was asked earlier for a list of vaguely relevant bands which I produced off the top of my head in a few seconds... see below: Punk (taking in a bit of ska too, I think...) Green Day The Offspring Rancid Operation Ivy Goldfinger Reel Big Fish Allister Emo Brand New Taking Back Sunday Further Seems Forever Jimmy Eat World The Juliana Theory My Chemical Romance (pushing it, but we'll go with it...) Panic! At The Disco (again, pushing it) Fall Out Boy (still pushing it) Mineral Metal Venom Cradle Of Filth Mastodon Incubus (sorta lite-metal) Cannibal Corpse Slayer Megadeth Judas Priest Trivium Obviously that isn't an exhaustive list, merely a vague guideline as to the sort of thing I originally intended it for. Who's Jono? ...because someone's bound to ask. :lol: As my colleague is also called John, I'd best stick to calling myself Jono to save confusion. Those of you who know me from elsewhere will already know that I've devoted a lot of time to rescuing a dying rock section on another site and, well, you're what I'd consider mates anyway so this isn't really aimed at you; if you don't know me, I'm a nice bloke and I have a very wide-ranging taste in music but I tend to specialise in the stuff that this forum is made for. You'll get to know me in time. ;) Anything else you want to know, just ask me or my esteemed colleague Disposable Hero. B)
March 29, 200619 yr GREAT idea Jono! :cheer: I'll be alert incase threads that are more suited here are posted in the Indie forum ;)
March 29, 200619 yr Author Cheers mate, I was intending to chat to you about that tonight if you're on MSN...
March 29, 200619 yr Yeah I should be around ;) But I might be going out at around half past ten if my mates can be arsed ;)
March 29, 200619 yr Author Fair 'nuff... guess we'll see how it goes, I'm working until 8 tonight (12 hour day, anyone?) so I might not be online before that - guess we'll see each other online at some point over the next few days. :lol:
March 29, 200619 yr 12 hours? :lol: It's my day off from Uni today :cheer: 4 days with 2 and half hours lectures anyone? :P I should be around a lot so I should catch you at some point, yes ;)
March 29, 200619 yr at last! you its sense as from my experience a lot of the time the indie kids will never go near the rock pub and visa versa
