Pandabear 414 Posted May 6, 2011 Post how you found out about the forum. For me, exactly 4 years ago to this very day I joined the original tainted world on May 6th 2007. As I recall I found about it through some random link I came across on myspace. I actually joined to download the Gazette’s Stacked Rubbish only to find out it hadn't come out yet. I did stay for other awesome downloads and eventually became active in the forum.. I’ve never joined another forum or have been active on another as I have on this one. Not only does is it have awesome music but awesome people as well. Which is why I’ve always supported/stuck with this site through all the download wipeouts, Egyptian threads, times it went offline or became another version. It may have a different name now but it’s still the same great site. And as far as I can tell, its core community has more or less stayed the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 10, 2011 I came here to be naughty this but by naughty I mean to leech and be a dick to random weeaboos now it's mainly just to be a dick to random weeaboos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number Girl 48 Posted May 10, 2011 I found it via Google on one of my leeching escapades back before I bothered to buy anything. I registered at TW.net long before I became active under some random account to get some Yama-B downloads and then forgot about it until a year ago when I got tired of the other forum I used to go on.

LIDL 692 Posted May 10, 2011 xD i feel so much of dejavu, it's like never ending maze well it was around when The GazettE was first using "The" and capital G and E on their name than Gazetto in kanji and releasing Stacked Rubbish. Was under different user name back then, which blatant of my admiration to particular DeG mini album. Was around for few months, and cannot keep up. And then i knew that the board being closed. After few other months, got an email that the board is re-opening in the new web hosting, so i rejoin under a new name. And from there, i always feels like a nomad, not difference with my irl experience, with the board cos it keeps on moving xD But hopefully right now, we already settled down in a final resting place.

Neon 6 Posted May 10, 2011 I have no idea how I found TW/Monochrome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cas 4 Posted May 10, 2011 I came across TW back in 2008, but I didn't stick around for too long. I found my way back again in 2010 after getting more interested in Japanese music in general. This was the first place that came to mind, and even though I'm not the biggest fanatic of forums, I have managed to stay for much longer this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretsy 1343 Posted May 10, 2011 Well, some last.fm people here led me to this site Even though: I have heard lots of shit about this site before - some friends even claimed that this site is "the mother site of all vk-related forums with retarded fans/trolls "(and this partly concerns our finnish j-rock forum called "Japsirokki (-foorumi)" as well) Oh well, that was 2008-2009... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
