Hello people,

Just wondering how this website took off.

I imagine its had quite a lot of time to get where it is today but was it always like that?

How many users did you get in the first year etc?

How did you promote the website?

What made this website good etc, like did it take off after the online radio was introduced etc?

Did you just promote this website on the internet or did you promote it else where?

What made you register, the ability to chat to people on the forum? or something else?

I've been frequenting the site since 2001 but never registered til 2002.

I found it via google i think when searching for "happy hardcore".

There weren't a great deal of active members back then, and quite a few of them now are never on/visit rarely.

It was the only site i found which gave out decent info on raves, djs, music etc, it was reliable and and easy to use, nice looking and just found myself attracted. i registered for that reason and to ask questions if needed, and to discuss things with people that seem friendly and helpful. unlike some sites.

I was kidnapped, a bag shoved over my head and knocked unconscious. Next thing I knew I was here.

I lurked around a bit looking for a way out, but everytime I got near the log off button They hit me with large sticks.

After a year or so with no food and only dirty water to drink I accepted my fate and posted my first message.

Since then They have allowed to use the bathroom with the other prisoners, and in another 38 days They will be letting me have some butter with my bread. See, They're not as nasty as They sound!

....yeh, the downside to this site is that most of us don't have sufficient seniority to hit Underloop with big sticks.

The management keep all the really good stuff to themselves.
