[QUOTE="butty, post: 369329, member: 1"] welcome to the board mate :wave: i started this site up in 1998. it was only then when i got into the 'old skool' as i know it sound. when i went to maximes in wigan once with some friends late 98 i heard all these tunes that i loved but didnt have a clue what they were (until then i was listenin to new music) - that one night changed me for life and i went on a mission to find more tunes like em and to try and find out the names etc. so i bought a couple of tape packs from maximes that night and came home and was lookin on the net for sites that had them sorta tunes on. there was nothing out there only the backtotheoldskool site which was more southern old skool which was slightly harder and not the plinky plonky piano stuff id heard at maximes. and so i thought well sod this il make one. didnt have a clue what or how to do it so jus learnt meself the bits i needed to know and got cracking. a couple of weeks after id first heard me first old skool tune at maximes i had the first site up - it was called old skool alley back then and it only had a few rips of tunes i didnt know on it that i wanted to know the names of. i got links from other music sites and slowly but srely i got a few visitors and got chattin to people thru email and got the tunes id'd that i wanted to know. then i added some more then some more and over time the place slowly grew. it was 2001 when i started up the message board on here. i used to go on a message board on the compulsion for bowlers site and i liked how ya could leave messages for other people and theyd reply to ya etc id never known anything like it before then. and id found like most people find when they first come here they catch the bug of returning to the site - when ya have a site u tend to find that people come and go and forget about it with a forum there is a pull to make ya wanna go back to the site. and so i got to know some heads on the compulsion forum namely tonksi, pixie and old skooler etc and began to get hooked on there. no sooner had i got hooked there and it shut down. so i thought well il bang one of them forum things on the little site i made and see what happens. so i changed the name to old skool anthemz set the forum up and got tonksi and pixie and that to come on over and waffle b@llocks for a bit on it.... at first it was jus us chattin crap to each othr then slwoly but surely people started joininhg up and it grew and grew from there really. no way did i think when i made that visit to maximes in 98 that it wud change me life so much. its mad looking back on it all now. and its mad how big the sites becoming. i remember it taking about a year and a half to get to 200 members and then we was like whoa check it out 200 members woohoo. now the thousands roll on by - where are all these people coming from lol its mint as hell tho. i think one of the reasons why so many people keep coming back so much is coz its so friendly, ive been on so many other forums where people jus argue all day long and there like battle grounds. yeah we are a lot stricter than other sites out there as to what we let go but its needed to keep the good vibe on here. if i wanted a argument id get a girlfriend. so big up to everyone who contributes and to all the mods who keep the place tickin etc big up ya chests coz this forum is tha lick :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
