Before FD started, was there any old forums around?

The official one was the only one I knew about and bothered about but I only posted on there every now and then, I jsutused to read stuff more than anything, same as here until I dcided to actually sign up one day. Didn't the official site forum close for spam reasons or something and they never bothered putting a new one up? Shame.

I was a member just before it closed. It was a weird place. Very cliquey and not much Manics related discussion took place. Instead threats were made to various members and then a whole bunch of admin mods appeared to regulate the place. It was then closed.

I still remember my last post on the official forum.

"Are the band mental? they are paying for people to talk this shit"

Shortly after it closed.

Closed down around after the release of Lifeblood I think. I remember reading a scathing rewiew of the album put on there by the "mods" (cant remember her name) then it vanished. I hope she hates the manics now and has loads of msp tatoos that she now feels ashamed of. I fucking love lifeblood

me too, i wish i could recall the details. I remember they were totally gutted by the album and felt they could no longer support them....ha. It was a message of mourning and complete despair at listening to lifeblood.....leaving them with no other option!!

i thought there was just a male mod on there?

Yes....Official Forum, Stay Beautiful, Archives of Pain to name a few. There was a rawkstar manics site as well, and lots of fansites, most of which have died or aren't updated anymore.

MSPKYE · #12 21-12-2010, 19:28

The main one I used to use around 1999/2001 before FD.com came about was manicsonline

2004567 · #13 21-12-2010, 19:29

My dad had an Archives of Pain forum account, but the only one I know of is this one to be honest.

corporatetom · #14 21-12-2010, 21:18

The official forum was great when I used to go on there 1999/2000 and thereabouts. Met my girlfriend of almost 10 years through it!

These forums are still posted to in 2010 as well, though I'm not sure when they started: http://s11.invisionfree.com/Sparkle_and_Believe/
and: http://justjamesforum.com/index.php
Others with varying degrees of (in)activity are listed here under 'FORUMS + GROUPS', plus old archived sites under 'ARCHIVED FAN + INFO SITES', if that helps: http://visionblurred.moonfruit.com/#...nks/4535294534
