Hey all,
Just dropping by to try and get some exposure (and hopefully some new members) on our forum:D
We've been around for a very long time and there have been many different incarnations of our forum. When I say a long time, you're probably talking since at least 2002. I originally joined The Soapbox back in 2004/2005 when the admin was done by a guy named KablePunk. Back then, I don't think it was hosted on ProBoards and KablePunk has his own servers and everything. So yeah, I joined when it was know as The Soapbox (I think the original link was the-soapbox.net) but it had other guises before I joined. Then tragedy struck and KablePunk took the forum offline. This must have been 2008/2009. Not really sure why but it left a bunch of us without a place to hangout online together, something we'd done for many years. A board was setup on ProBoards but the admin went crazy and deleted it after a year or so. So we had to start again.
What we have now has probably been in place for around 10 years (!) and I wanted to make an effort to breathe some new lift into the place.
Anyway, over the years, we were primarily an Oasis forum (the English rock & roll band) but obviously with the decline of the band came a shift. We all still absolutely love the band but as you can imagine, the focus is now more on Liam & Noel as solo artists. But even then, we are not so much focused on Oasis and the Brothers Gallagher as we once were. While our roots will always be Oasis, we've kind of evolved into a bunch of mid-30 year olds who greatly enjoy listening to and discussing a lot of other music, too. We even have some members who record their own stuff and upload it through a record label on Bandcamp that one of our members runs.
So stop by, sign-up, and say hello. You never know, The Soapbox might just become your favourite place on the internet. If not, it's a good for killing some time here and there.
