http://www.thefader.com/2015/10/06/nerd-forums-oral-historyThats so cool, man!
-
They coulda at least mention some of us from the forum plus they shoulda asked about our story !
-
How ill is this?????!!!!
-
W H O A
um, no mention of @Mika ? Insane.
-
Yes totally @Mika, but if we have to stay positive, I'd say that it has to remain "secret" ;)
-
Congrats Mika, This is for a pretty large part your win. There was really nothing like it especially in the early days. Startrak forum, grindin.fr, Efnet etc. gg to all the forum and mirc veterans ;)
-
Yes, this is unbelievably cool. But also feels weird to have a light shown on us? haha
-
Yo and @Mari man! Cheers everyone!
-
Amazing. Yeah, I dunno how they went about finding folks, I got a call one day from my boy over there at fader. Also, I know with me...I had like an hour long convo about the board and everybody on it and its history ....I don't really decide what they choose to use tho :/ . Anyways shit is dope its in the 100th issue. I thought it was gonna just be online. History.
-
awesome, well we're gonna write our story right now and Ill post it together with that post
-
shouldve mentioned how fucking raw the star trak forum was, omg that place was a riot in its hay day
-
So cool, good work Matt
-
Yo Mika, how does it feel to be Chad?
Seriously though this is amazing, the impact of us coming together just to share Neptunes music is crazy, I hope P and Chad know the affect they've had on many of our lives.
-
Yeah, Mika! Not even a bit feel like you're not being credited or mentioned on that article change the impact you have on us, NER*D forums and on internet!
You GOD, and them bitches not (* Spirit of Truth voice *)

I just saw this. I had no idea. I remember all of that. HOLY SHIT. For someone that has been around since those days, I can't even believe it. It's weird.

In 10 years time once i've ticked a few things off my list i promise i'm gonna make a documentary called 'the forum'. Looking at how/why it happened. I guarantee by that point there'll be at least another 5 people from here who've made it big in some way. Including me hopefully.
It'd make an interesting subject for a gladwell book too
