i think i was searching for an online metal clothing site and accidentally googled the whole web, when i was trying to search only romanian sites.
what about you? i'm particularly interested in the old school members(ozman,wrathchild,tommy tee, pyroleprechaun etc.).

I got a job at Amazon and had nothing to do but surf the net, so I googled band discogs and Metal Storm always came up. I registered, but for a while I never posted. I eventually said some things, probably n00bish, and then I insulted Dream Theater's Octavarium, and someone quoted me. Now, I believe they quoted me saying something negative, but it still made me feel like I was part of something, and ever since then I started coming to this site every day at work. Now, I still don't think this is the most informative metal site on the web, but I've always loved the layout and how organized everything is, so I've stuck around.

To be honest, I was looking for a metal site with a bit more tolerance of the 80s hair bands and classic rock. You know, most sites pass over either glam or metal and I was happy to find that Metalstorm includes both.

Problem?
I'm surprised I haven't posted in here before.Anyways the first time I visited the site was about 2 years ago. I was looking for some cd's by Darkthrone and I stumbled across the site, I liked the site quite quite a bit but I didn't join the site until a year later because I forgot the name of the site out of all things

I found myself here looking for discographies. Then I found out it was also a forum. Since I didn't know people who were into alot of the bands I was (that's been my life there) and also since I really haven't been outside of the country I figure this wasn't a bad idea.

Wonder how did Metalstorm End up like now...from 1000 to go up to 14000 members, it can be easier to understand but in the beginning how come from 10;50 to become 800 or 1000,...???

I remember Metalstorm didnt have Empyrium back when I knew the site but not really goo at English so I hadnt join the site actively like NOW.

Me: End up here by local metalhead introduction.

Hey, that's exactly how I wound up here. I was looking to broaden my metal horizons a bit and explore some genres I'd largely ignored, like black and doom, so I searched for top album lists and found this place. Now I can't escape.

I used to browse this site a lot when I first got into metal, my brother told me about this site, and showed it to me and well, it's funny, because nowadays I'm way more into metal than him. I only checked this site to search for information about bands, I wasn't registered at the forum, but well, one day I decided to do it, and well, here I am.

Archetype
I was just looking around the net for a rock/metal website that had a forum that didn't seem like all the sections were for spamming/off-topic posts and I used MS for a while and only recently decided to sign up and post.

The main thing that got me to join (apart from the tonnes of information and professional looking layout) was the fact that members of the forum all seem to respect each other even if they don't necessarily agree, which is something I've never actually seen before on any online community of this sort.

My mate told me about a tour and I googled it to get details. Came up with the band's profile. i noted down the site because it looked good, and since then I've just been getting more and more into it. Discovered that it was also a forum not too long ago and have immersed myself in that aspect of things.
