MI threads Hall of Fame

[Thorn]

That is freakin nuts alright

[OpenSores]

That's crazy, really doesn't seem that long at all. Had a quick gander at what I was listening to back in the day and it really hasn't changed much.

[Pentagrimes]

Was there a thread where Averill was giving out about vegans?

That definitely showed up on a few different boards at the time😂

Jesus, that must have made Verminous Serpent practice fun.

Whatever about the threads, I went back to see if I could find some old reviews, no joy. Did find the "from the Vault" ones though, those were cool. Wish I'd done more of them.

I have had the conversation with the lads in work about travelling back in time and meeting your younger self, and how fucking cringe-inducing it would be. That's what this feels like to me 

Yeah Jesus just seen my account there and my join date I would have been 15 and had 3k+ posts, I shudder to think what I was posting 😬


A loada familiar names on there having a look now, some fellas I haven't seen in probably 10 years.

But fuck I miss when there was a bitta drama on the forums. Seems like there was a thread with someone having murder on MI with 20+ pages every week in its heyday

Oh just saw Ducky's post re the FTV features, have at it my friend:

I can't say I miss the 20 page rows at all tbh. They and the lack of writers were what killed the site I reckon. It just became absolutely tedious.

Of course the pedo did a Trivium write up.

Yeah I stumbled across another forum from when I was 18 there a few years back and my blood curdled from my own posts, deleted my whole account off it lol, Fuck that

    

I'd love to know which it was

[Mithrandir]

Oh Jesus what a flashback with the H Nazi scandal thread

[Giggles]

Of course the pedo did a Trivium write up.

 

I seem to recall him having a hissy fit because CT wouldn't publish a Stormzone review he wrote, because he was friends with the band, or something.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Took me a second to recall who "pedo" referred to 

Didn't he paste the Stormzone review into a post then..? I think so. Obviously never directed at me, but he sure did have a knack for sycophancy. Ultimately seems he turned that knack in the wrong direction and all 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Sicko-fancy, wha

[Mooncat]

Sicko-fancy, wha

In the Creation's Tears thread there's a moment where he vouches for Eddie Apathy's character, which seems like an even bigger oof now.

Side note, I've only read like 6 threads and there's already been multiple instances of him absolutely hating you

I was thinking about that too, the tone of Metal Warfare is quite different. Mainly I guess it's just because we're all older now and a wave of young kids (as far as I can tell) hasn't moved in after us. I'm kind of glad to have moved on from that but also miss it too a bit, it all felt so vital back then!

[Mooncat]

Ah fuck, the thread looking for the lead guitarist that starts off like a completely normal classified until the point they ask for €500 investment. 17 pages of madness ensues. Remember it like it was yesterday 

[Bürggermeister]

Jesus, just gone through the two Creation's Tears ones, great fucking days, lads. Whatever happened to the scene anyway?
