I wonder what happened to the Violently Oldschool Forum it seemed like very cool one.I think Corroseum's Forum and Violently Oldschool Forum are the best.Other good 80's Metal forum to suggest?

Yeah, I noticed VO has been down for a while now. Got no clue why. It was a cool forum but a bit "impersonal", so I only posted there occationally.

I think The Miskatonic Forum is the only other Metal forum worth spending time in.

The board was closed because it "didn't achieve its purpose", or something along those lines.

well it is up again, but you need registration and you barely see people posting like before, which is kinda sad, before the closedown this forum was a real nice place

its now located at:

http://www.thebasar.org/phpBB2/

i honestly have no idea why they closed the board down the first time, especially without telling most of the members. it effectively killed at least 80% of the traffic

Well I was kicked out of that forum because the administrator didnt like some opinons I gave. I would say that that forum is not a free-speech place. perhaps that was not the ontention anyway and the administrator was able of kicking out anyone whose opinions he dislikes.

Yes, I guess Rich would be the first to agree with you on the "free-speech" matter :lol:
Maybe there's a few too many unnecessary squabbles there, but at least it gives the place some character.

About VO/The Basar: Are there more forums available once you register, or is it just this board about the label?

What did you say?? Was it an insult or?? Most likely you were deleted because you were not contributing to good discussions about metal?? Only people I've seen deleted there were deliberately going out of their way to stir up trouble, or were not contributing.

Thats sadly true. We have many visitors, but not so many active writers. I dont know why though... Any ideas of improvement?

I was kicked out of that forum cause the administrator didnt like some opinons I gave. As fas as I remember, one iof them was related a friend of him printing boot BATHORY shirts. And other about cd reprints. I cant remember well, but I suppose the discussions must be in the forum to this day.
I said no insults until the others guys attacked me with some insults. I was kicked out, the others werent. So in Mikatonic, as you can see, the adminstrator is very partial when it comes to judge the opinions of his friends and the opinion of other people.

I've been kicked from metal archives for similar reasons,It seems they like to play favorites,especially favoring canadians and brits over anyone else.
