What brought you to this forum in the first place?

Really can't remember now. I think it was prior to the dubstepforum exodus although I was part of that I suppose.

There used to be these giant rolling threads on here about grime, uk funky, juke etc. and I remember thinking that was really cool.

I was either too scared or too contemptuous to post on here at first I think cos it was full of absolute brainiacs talking about French Theory and Marxism, etc.

Been here since day one, thinking of it as the continuity spot for the discussions and drama of the Woebot, K-Punk, Blissblogger et al's comment boxes. Tend to lurk rather than post these days. Barty and Thirdform breathed some new life into things for a bit but I don't really see the forum as being all that amenable to new posters. Maybe if the old guard would refrain from being absolute cunts to every single newcomer it might liven things up a little

true, although that old guard who might refrain isn't most or even many of the regulars. the majority here don't mind newbies. they like them, even.

I was 26 or 27 and wanted to go for a drink with some nice people in London and spend days in the office online-yapping about music and other stuff. I’m OG, I’ll have you know, joined in the first week! (or fortnight, maybe, it's hazy…)

Since then I pop in now and then, like a useless prodigal son who treats his old bedroom round his mum’s house like a hotel room, well into his 40s. As long as I keep out of Politics, Technology and Thought, I’m generally OK. ILX can say what they like, they never had Speed Garage Top 100s running consecutively with threads on castle interiors and Deliveroo drivers.
