Who's Been on DM The Longest?

TnyjMuzic	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 2:31 PM I found this site in 2005 but has anyone been here longer than that? As i recall reading once that this site used to be a filesharing site before it became what it is now.
Dexter	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 2:32 PM I feel like I've been here the longest...
SimonWaldram	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 2:33 PM Here's a little DMusic history for you to study: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.dmusic.com
Dexter	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 2:41 PM I'd forgotten that link Simon! And, with all the changes over the years, I'd forgotten what the site used to look like!
Tattoomom	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 6:22 PM I've been here since 2004 I think...
moam	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 6:25 PM me = longer than Tattoomom by like a month!!
Tattoomom	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 6:26 PM Which of course means that Moam signed up when he was like 12 years old!
moam	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 6:33 PM Actually...off by about 6 years 2004 would be when I was 18!!!

kyodylee	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 7:07 PM Well, Angelo Sotira started the site as Dimension Music which was an outgrowth of Deviant Art http://www.deviantart.com but he is no longer active. The person who has been on the site the longest of the people still currently active, I believe, would have to be our fearless leader and site owner, Leflaw
kyodylee	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 7:55 PM Also, has been here longer than Leflaw, but Van recently stopped being active here. And still stops by occasionally and has been here since just after Leflaw. Buzzy correct me if I'm wrong please.
TnyjMuzic	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 9:39 PM Kyodylee wasn,t Dimension Music a file share site?? I recall learning that after i post a thread once.
tsand20175	Date: August 5, 2007 @ 10:11 PM I've been here sense December 1865.

Rodrica	Date: August 6, 2007 @ 6:18 AM I've been here since March 27th 2002....and it feels like it's even longer!
vladb	Date: August 6, 2007 @ 7:42 AM I've been here since April 19th 2004, though I still feel like a Newbie
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 8:46 AM If you go on terms of activity and time since joining, then I'd 'probably' throw my hat in the ring. However, I do believe you are right, kyodylee. Van (furiousBall) was here before the boss but has indeed gone inactive (almost entirely) so that would leave Leflaw. There were a few others but they are either gone or just visit every few months (or longer). Cryxan would've been the most active had you done this a year ago, as was Victors Skull, both of whom joined the month before me, as has Rodrica. Also, you won't find anyone with a joining date prior to 2000, despite the site being around a lot longer. Has something to do with the database getting reset or some equally messed up event back then.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 8:49 AM Hit the enter without realising I was missing a couple of lines: TheWitchingHour is another long timer but like furiousBall isn't a regular. As for Angelo, he was a co-founder of this site, along with Jark (aka The Yellow Alien, now you know what my avatar is dedicated to) and they created DevArt after Dimension Music.
aflunky	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 3:23 PM I meet Angelo a few months ago, he was touring with some digital band that Devart was sponsoring and my wife just HAD to go see them. Interesting guy. He talked about why he left DM and started DA amoung other things. He didn't like the direction MP3s were heading and didn't want to deal with all the legal aspects of it (after the whole thing with MP3.com and napster) Wasn't a long convo, he mainly chatted with Heather.
aflunky	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 3:26 PM Heather = = Soon to be Ex Wife
Svensta	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 5:02 PM I've been here longer than Buzzie And yeah, Big D was something of a music-sharing community. I came here with Jaamura (and his PureMP3), and there was Blex's Page of Good Music. But as CD burning went mainstream and the college dorm world ignited with music sharing the entire realm was drowned by cease-n-desist letters and Big D survived by reinventing itself as an indie site. That and deciding that the RIAA needed to be destroyed. Angelo sold DMusic to Leflaw and here we are!
aflunky	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 9:14 PM yeah, he meantioned that he sold it to larry. I wish I could have discovered this site when it first came out. This place has really become special to me... damn drunk me, I'm getting all msuhy
8111	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 9:46 PM I've been on Dmusic the WIDEST...
kyodylee	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 10:55 PM Thanks Buzzie and Svensta for the background info & clearing that up about which came first DM or DA. I also found this after a bit of research. http://web.archive.org/web/19981205102433/www.dmusic.com/other/credits.html h i s t o r y Dimension Music was started as a band archive. Sarah, Spyed's girlfriend, really did not want to stop talking about music and bands and ... etc. etc. He, (Spyed) figured he'd put all that effort into something productive.. so we started a band archive. So I don't bore you too much, Sarah pretty much gave up on the idea, I had already purchased the domain dimensionmusic.com ... and decided to stick with it. Later on Sarah came back as the MusicMaster, where she has her own section, the music news section. Dimension Music transformed from a band archive to an MP3 site relatively slowly. With the band archive DM was getting 20 hits a day.. yea I know, that's sad. I posted about MP3's one day.. advertised on EFnet.. and boom, hits went up to 100. The rest is ... kinda boring and self explanitory.
TnyjMuzic	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 11:04 PM SimonWaldom thanx for posting that web archive link. It's pretty cool i found a couple of old sites i used to be on.
TnyjMuzic	Date: August 7, 2007 @ 11:05 PM oh yeah I also checked out the old Dimension Music site.

ChillinBuzz	Date: August 8, 2007 @ 7:27 AM Sorry, Svennie, forget your absent self for the moment
pog	Date: August 8, 2007 @ 9:11 AM svensta was admitted 8 days before me
Svensta	Date: August 8, 2007 @ 9:55 AM Wow, I really am the old man, aren't I? I keep thinking of all the folk who predated me but.... yeah... haven't seen them in forever. Quick someone go find Dee or Meatball or Mikel!
AdNauseam	Date: August 8, 2007 @ 10:56 AM has been here for a long time, it seems. He's still active with music and subscription, if not in the community.
sinai	Date: August 9, 2007 @ 2:34 AM in 3 days, i'll hit five years.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 9, 2007 @ 4:05 AM No! Not Dee! She probably still swears at and insults me from under her rock... Has anyone noticed that when you talk about the old timers in this thread, some of them suddenly re-appear? Two of them visited my page... It almost felt like 2002 again.

Cryxan	Date: August 11, 2007 @ 10:06 PM dee does hold a special status, methinks. She might not be here right now, but she's here in spirit.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 11, 2007 @ 10:23 PM My dear, I think Dee was ON spirits too... Boy, did she used to fry my backside especially over my interaction here...
Cryxan	Date: August 12, 2007 @ 12:17 AM She used to do a lot of things... Aaah, memories.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 12, 2007 @ 9:37 AM Yep...

hantu	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 11:23 AM good point, who has done the most hours? ^
ShadowMom	Date: August 14, 2007 @ 12:17 PM I'm not gonna ask Jack-- YOU ask him!

ShadowMom	Date: December 1, 2007 @ 10:58 AM I wonder... who's been on the longest non-stop. At one time. Like a marathon, the last person still online wins.

zedsalt	Date: June 8, 2008 @ 3:18 AM Just seeing the name "Nico" has switched the jukebox in my head over to the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale", so thank you for that. Seriously, the little ditty from the Mac commercial was REALLY getting old.
Cryxan	Date: June 8, 2008 @ 5:55 PM Just seeing the name "Nico" has reminded me of "Neko," so thank you for that. Seriously, the little kitty for the PC desktop was REALLY cute.
Cryxan	Date: June 8, 2008 @ 5:59 PM Anywho... the current DMusic database was created on July 15, 2000, and all members that were already registered at that time have that date on their userpage. DMusic has actually been around since 1996.
zedsalt	Date: June 9, 2008 @ 3:09 AM Just seeing the name "Neko" made think of Neko Case, so I'm going out and buying myself a whole case of Necco Wafers! Yum!
killoFunk	Date: June 9, 2008 @ 11:10 AM just seeing the word "case" makes me think of beer... so... guess what... ...and, no... that fifth dentist did NOT break down and finally recommend sugarless gum...
