25 years and counting - 2.5 decades later, not only the music scene, but people changed, and so did the forum. I think Im the only one of the original team members left on here for 2 simple reasons, music, and to share it.

These 2.5 decades have been tough, real tough for me. I know TomTom went through some stuff 15 odd years ago within close proximity to us all losing Jibby - and I thought how the fuck would i ever be able to cope with the shit they were going through.

2023 said hold my beer. Got divorced for the second time from the mother of my son who I truly loved (cant get myself to say her name anymore), lost my dad 2 months after making up with him and 1 week before my divorce, and 2023 said boyo we just hit August - hold up let's do some shots now.

Let's just say I dont know how I didnt end up meeting Jibby in person again but here I am, born again in ways I couldnt imagine i could have, and the accelerant on the rocket fire was quitting alcohol.

Im so back - not only to revive the site, but relive the music, and be happier than I have been with my 8.5 year old son. I started learning AI to keep him safe on the internet and on his mobile devices, which led to me learning so much about them that I have now built a family of 8 AIs in a mini fortune of a home-lab, created a digital company thats now building an in-house living organism that would run the actual company I work for in real life, if you let it. But then there's no one to sue so there's gotta be a finger on the enter button.

A 1+ Billion Dollar privately owned company, for which Im exclusively building the in-house AI organism controlling 18 odd departments who will work for and report to the CEO, before a company wide deployment.

In my down times I've been tinkering on the web side and things here on [ms] and things clearly shaping up far better now than the old template we had rotting away.

Oh we're gonna have some fun around these parts now that i see the underlying architecture so much cleaner. And totm.fm is hopefully going to be the next generational step in sharing music legally.

Here's to the next 2.5 decades.

Been here since the beginning in 2002! And MercuryServer has been a huge part of life. So much of the music I love and have in my collection has come from here. Plus you all are the main folks I have that actually know what I am talking about when we discuss this scene and sound. Glad youre back on top Kamal :RockOn:Long Live [ms] and the music!

it is all about the music 8)

good luck, have fun, dont die!

Whoa hold up, Brah tom you been here since 2005 and you got 66 posts? LOL ED Meds kicking in late?

almost warmed up!

good luck, have fun, dont die!

Thanks for sharing! I don´t think I´m from the originals, but I´ve been around here for many many years, more than 20 I think. Lot´s of music and things shared in the forum.

I am still lurking on the boards, Kam. I sincerely appreciate you keeping things up and running all of these years. I am sure that has been a cross to bear.

:Cheerz:

I cant wait to get the new site with full built in legal streamer playing choonz on here all day - a full jibby archive dedicated in his forum that totm will play all day long in his memory - i missed him so much recently, its the only way i felt i could reach out to him through the quantum madness of reality.

Hi Kamal! I'm still lurking, and still listening to the weekly Digweed sets. Pretty amazing he's still cranking these out with guest mixes for this long, what a journey. It's cool to see some familiar old names still here, hello gents! :Cheerz:
