Not directly related no but to thrive in the digitals these days, for good or bad, you got to communicate and it's interesting that for a band all about mass communication they've shunned the advantages the internet would have given them. I can imagine the young manics starting today would embrace that with a passion. I know they still do inspire people but when this place disappears what will be left for those people to delve into other than whatever exists on internet archive.

The creepy little sandpit is crap for that aswell. A lot of people left this forum cos some members would only moan continuously about the bands output. It can get quite draining....also a fair bit of bitchiness for a while but all that's gone now. Moved to them there closed facebook groups

And this place has been closed for new registrations for quite some time now. Are they just waiting for those of who're still here to get bored and go away?

Huh... I didn’t know that either but it’s true, how long has that been the case? The writing appears to be on the wall which would be a damn shame. Is anyone captaining this ship anymore? Someone must be paying the hosting fees. I’ve said before this place should be migrated to a discourse forum with some proper security - what with the database fuckup a few years ago and I think a browser like chrome (not that I use it) actively blocks unencrypted domains now unless you make an exception and Firefox is heading that way too.

We should all move over to reddit. Much easier to have proper discussions on there than on twitter.

I only realised myself after I'd forgotten my password and tried to register a new account. The error message popped up that the administrator had disabled registration. I only got back in after reclaiming my email and resetting the pw through that. Anyway, according to the index page, the newest member of the forum is GuitarHeroJam. He signed up in December 2017. So, a little over a year ago, would be my rough estimate for when registration was disabled. I know very little technical stuff about web browsers and whatnot. But I'm using Chrome and I have no problem accessing the forum. Does that mean it's still being properly hosted and what have you? I like this idea. I have a Reddit account but haven't invested much time in getting to grips with the place. But it is a good place to hold discussions. Last edited by Velocitygirl; 18-02-2019 at 13:30. |

Yeah, I got that slightly wrong but doesnt chrome at least warn you that it’s a non-secure website (no https in the address bar I mean)? I’m thinking future updates to browsers will block such sites unless you specify an exception. Well hosting isn’t free so someone is paying for the domain, I would assume Finn but I don’t know.

Hmmmm.... the Manic Street Preachers community on Reddit has a total of 146 members and has had three posts in the last three months. Not exactly a pumped up community...

This site is still being maintained. MSPedia is attached to it. I think registrations are manual for the admin and there's likely a hell of a lot of bots trying to register. Guitarherojam might be one. Says banned on the profile

Eh there was more after GHJ but they've been deleted. Missing out the TIMT 20 and RIF announcements we've probably missed any newcomers, which is a bit of a shame. I hope the Mods would re-open registration, if more effort is required, I'm sure a number of people still here would assist (myself included).

I might be doing it wrong, but if you do an advanced search in the Community section and search for members who have joined after a certain date then there have been no new members this year. Or in 2018. Seven in 2017. And four in 2016.
Which seems staggeringly low to me... |
