I was a founding member(voted for it in 1993 or so when had to vote to create a group). Are there any frequent former posters from that group on here. I'd swear Jostein was one. And Nicholas P. Zawari is still posting in rec.music. movies?? where is the rest of the gang? J    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 11:54 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I was never a full member (found the interface too cumbersome), but I believe I posted there once or twice. I didn't realy participate in film music fora actively untill FSM established their messageboard in late 1997, I think. But yeah, definitely one of the earliest examples of film score fans connecting in a whole new way on the web.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 12:04 PM     By:   Hercule Platini   (Member) I used to be there but ducked out when it became a my-knob's-smaller-than-your-knob forum for Robert Guttke and some halfwit from Germany to toss cloddingly infantile non-witticisms at one another. I've never bothered to try and go back.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 12:20 PM     By:   Taylor Fenno   (Member) I don't even know what you are talking about.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 12:21 PM     By:   GreatGonzo   (Member) I have to say it - the conversations and flow of information on FILMUS-L were generally of a much higher quality than on rec.music.movies. I checked it out a couple of times and then figured there was nothing to be gained from listening to all that yelling.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 12:38 PM     By:   MikeP   (Member) I used to be there but ducked out when it became a my-knob's-smaller-than-your-knob forum for Robert Guttke and some halfwit from Germany to toss cloddingly infantile non-witticisms at one another.

I used to post there quite a lot in the early 90's but, yes, Guttke and his ilk got to be too much to stand...    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 1:44 PM     By:   TerraEpon   (Member) Usenet died around 2002 or so (outside of binary groups, though they are practically dead now too), when message boards started really coming into their own.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 2:00 PM     By:   That Neil Guy   (Member) Ah, rec.music.movies and filmus-l. Those were the days. Okay, these days are better, actually.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 2:11 PM     By:   Jason LeBlanc   (Member) I used to post to rec.music.movies all that time! That and alt.starwars (I think it was) I was actually the guy who figured out how to rip the music from "The Phantom Menace" video game and posted it to r.m.m., which Ricard Befan quickly found and posted to JWFan (which, at the time, was actually called "Star Wars: Episode I - The Music"), and then I pretty much transitioned to web boards and abandoned usenet    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 3:47 PM     By:   JamesSouthall   (Member) I used to post there regularly in the late 90s. There were ferocious arguments, all the time, if I remember correctly. I think Lukas was involved in some of them!    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 4:14 PM     By:   JMC   (Member) That place back in the early 90's, through Prodigy I think, was my introduction into the rest of the world of film music fans. Before then I thought my brother and I were solitary freaks. I don't believe I posted anything of significance back then other than, is this available or is that available or who composed what? But I was there. Very VERY young, but I was there.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 4:35 PM     By:   jkannry   (Member) Usenet died around 2002 or so (outside of binary groups, though they are practically dead now too), when message boards started really coming into their own. Not exactly. Best I can tell this group died 2007 or 2008. It was pretty active    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 4:37 PM     By:   jkannry   (Member) I used to post there regularly in the late 90s. There were ferocious arguments, all the time, if I remember correctly. I think Lukas was involved in some of them! Lukas was. I recognize you and hercule. Guttke was one of the most frequent and loudest posters. Who was the Norwegian guy they used to torture continuously and he'd walk right into it.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 6:16 PM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) Most of us left for the oft-stated reasons. It's typical when one person tries to rule the roost with sheer loudness and volume. The gentleman referenced in many posts above tried the same here, but was eventually booted off - under several usernames. There were some interesting discussions every now and then, early on. Now, who remembers my moniker?    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 7:13 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) . Now, who remembers my moniker? Was it Fynsworth? Or something like that. It was a while ago.

I used to get excited when the red email light went on. Is Web TV still around BTW?    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 10:29 PM     By:   ryankeaveney   (Member) Oh, rec.music.movies... Misty memories. Ford Thaxton took a strip off me for making light of Alan Silvestri leaving MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, Alan's lovely wife later e-mailing me to let me know there was no harm done. Those were the days when even the composers (and their wives!) commiserated with the geeks. Now they know better.    Posted:   Jul 30, 2010 - 11:52 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) I went in about two years ago with a few other FSMers. It was okay for a while, but then the "spams" took over and discussion died. I would have to scroll through 20-40 absolutely filthy URLs promoting stuff way beyond regular porn. Score discussions were few, so I left. Sorry I missed those World Wars that took place in the 90's.     General Discussion: Rec.music.movies    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
