Colton: how many of us are left

Colton 04.13.25	is it more than 1000?
osmark86 04.13.25	I'm here
jrlikestodance 04.13.25	Sorry about those ratings, the good news is I'm still here
YoYoMancuso 04.13.25	based on this thread so far, at least 4
ArsMoriendi 04.13.25	If Deafheaven can get 500 ratings, Fantasy of a broken heart needs at least 50 I'd guess like 1,000 users rating wise, but only 350 or so who actually post comments
Tunaboy45 04.13.25	it's time for the monthly Sputnik Welfare Check
Hawks 04.13.25	More than we think tbh.
BMDrummer 04.13.25	depends on the criteria for "active" i guess, i post maybe a couple times every few weeks idk
Wildcardbitchesss 04.13.25	I feel like I rarely see users I don’t know, but that might just be because I generally just post in metal, hardcore, and emo threads, I guess occasionally popping into a rap one but it’s usually just more popular artists.
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	I think more than a thousand and then a couple more thousand view the site regularly.
ArsMoriendi 04.13.25	Someone more insane than me should list every user they've seen comment in the last month
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	They’re also gonna need a photographic memory 🤣
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	The real test is the next Deftones album. Ohms has 1,600 ratings for late 2020
EphemeralEternity 04.13.25	Why is account creation even broken? Even if the back end of the site is being neglected how does that happen? And why can't anyone get hold of MX or whoever? Has he gone AWOL? Don't we have his personal contact details?
EphemeralEternity 04.13.25	I feel like based on a few minutes of extensive observation there's probably no more than 100 users who regularly comment on things
Hyperion1001 04.13.25	pretty wild that Sputnik just got namedropped in a fantano video and no one can make an account. that’s probably the biggest audience exposure it’s had in years.
Veldin 04.13.25	^^^ yeah I was coming to say the same thing
zakalwe 04.13.25	Millennial slag being supercilious as fuck when talking complete waffle about redundant albums.
gabba 04.13.25	I'm against listing users, it has a negative connotation history-wise. As for the number, my guess would be 1,000 or 999, depending on whether we count Budgie and Smok as 2 users or not.
ThyCrossAwaits 04.13.25	Been here 17 years now, not leaving
Wildcardbitchesss 04.13.25	which Fantano video lmfao that’s hilarious
Vercetti 04.13.25	13000
Azazzel 04.13.25	@wildcard https://youtu.be/jqqafzK6e8Y?t=677
el_newg 04.13.25	dude we're coming back I just saw ViperAces leave a comment for the first time in like 12 years
Voivod 04.13.25	-- how many of us are left My subjective two cents? More than meet the senses.
osmark86 04.13.25	Good question though. Who is site admin/host these days and has access to the codebase?
zakalwe 04.13.25	We are few in number but what few remain are unlimited in sheer will to return to this fetid rock
Wildcardbitchesss 04.13.25	Was kinda hoping he’d shit on us but that was a nice shout out, respect melon
Futures 04.13.25	i'm not here
Trebor. 04.13.25	If I was an Oscar nominated Brazilian movie I would be I'm Still Here
Sevengill 04.13.25	obviously 478 since that's how many rated Deafheaven
zaruyache 04.13.25	it is funny that this website is very much like the living dead, refusing new life but shambling on anyway
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	I go from long hiatus to recurrent poster on this site frequently. But I always come back. I love this community too much to leave. Here's hoping Coltonmusic takes off
Wildcardbitchesss 04.13.25	“ If I was an Oscar nominated Brazilian movie I would be I'm Still Here” I would be City of God
Demon of the Fall 04.13.25	what, we’ve been name-dropped by OTHER people on the internet? I find it mad that Sput staff reviews get metacritic exposure (or did?) but no-one can create an account. Wild. to answer the Q no idea tbh. Probably only 100-150 regular users but 3x that dip in and out, 5x that rate too (these are pie in the sky guesses, honestly)
Colton 04.13.25	Fantano: “I think a lot of actual, passionate genuine music fans maybe need to start building and creating another place to do this sort of thing” 😉
Futures 04.13.25	kinda sad to see in recent years rym explode in popularity and sput is still well you know
BAT 04.13.25	Like 50 freqenuent posters, 100-150 occasional, and like 300-400 that just use it for rating stuff. Probably a good amount of lurkers/Google traffic but that's my guesstimate. I do see plenty of longterm accounts post out of complete nowhere soo who knows, but yeah hard to gage who doesn't pop up often
zaruyache 04.13.25	we coulda been like metallum and still be used despite shitass 20 year old layouts but alas
Demon of the Fall 04.13.25	also I’m already thinking I’m under-estimating, so tomorrow (while I’m at work without checking), I’m gonna compile a list of every user I can remember (who still posts semi-regularly) My memory is far from perfect but I’m always here and am kinda interested in the total I get to, lol
JayEnder 04.13.25	Yeah, it's really sad this place is on life support and RYM is thriving. Tragic honestly.
zakalwe 04.13.25	Had a few from here defect to RYM haven’t we?
Futures 04.13.25	and jay a lot of people prefer it like this so they can be king of the ant hill lol
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	"If I was an Oscar nominated Brazilian movie I would be I'm Still Here" I'd be The Shape of Water
JayEnder 04.13.25	Yep, even this place has its cliques but idk it just feels like home here. RYM's community is generally insufferable so maybe it's a good thing new users can't make accounts here lol Never saw that Fantano shout-out btw haha nice
klauswagon 04.13.25	It is absolutely NOT a good thing this place is so locked down. Complacency and nostalgia will grind this place to dust sooner than you think without some form of intervention. Just my opinion folks !
Futures 04.13.25	new users is the only way this site won’t die though so i’ll take that trade off lol
gryndstone 04.13.25	>had a few from here defect to RYM? I have been in the process of transferring my ratings over for ever, and I post reviews there too but for all of its features, it doesn't have any proper comment sections imo. Sputnik is good for that. Wish the site wasn't broke
osmark86 04.13.25	Not sure I'd like a larger community like rym. The reason this place is great is because it's full of a bunch of bastards that have been here forever and refuse to leave. The internet 2.0 esthetic is also wonderful. Why would I want something more social media adjacent? Fuck that.
Voivod 04.13.25	While not being able to make a new account is not the end of the world especially in 21st century internet where trolls/bots abound, it keeps the site from being livelier, because legacy users (sic) are not able to frequent the site and generate as they used to, due to real life bounds. That said, I personally beg to differ that the site is broken, it would be if review posting, comments, adding news/albums/bands were broken, but they aren't.
ThyCrossAwaits 04.13.25	^what osmark said
nightbringer 04.13.25	rym is cool as another avenue for finding music but I can't imagine posting there
klauswagon 04.13.25	“Not sure I'd like a larger community like rym. The reason this place is great is because it's full of a bunch of bastards that have been here forever and refuse to leave. The internet 2.0 esthetic is also wonderful. Why would I want something more social media adjacent? Fuck that.” You really think allowing some new users would tarnish Sputnik’s charm and utility? That it’d become a social media cesspool? In 2025? Come on now
Azazzel 04.13.25	@Colton do you know anyone like that?
EoinCofa 04.13.25	DOGE has discovered over one million fraudulent sput accounts.
BallsToTheWall 04.13.25	Yeerks have poisoned this site.
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	All registered under a guy named "ancap"
Trundle 04.13.25	There are dozens of us! Dozens!
anode 04.13.25	Check puzzle - damage collection! pls and lemme know what you think
pizzamachine 04.13.25	Maybe two idk
BallsToTheWall 04.13.25	The claw is our master! Oooooooooh!
efp123 04.13.25	hahahaha
Tunaboy45 04.13.25	The important thing now is to hold your nerve and NEVER defect to RYM. We're East Germany, it'll all work out.
TheSonomaDude 04.13.25	Can you still get banned nowadays? Sounds like if they cant even allow new accounts, do they even have the ability to ban?
Tunaboy45 04.13.25	Mx is down to his last hamster, once it croaks the wheel stops forever.
zaruyache 04.13.25	joke's on you i've been backing up all my ratings to rym since that one time we got hacked for a week like a decade ago
Egarran 04.13.25	>pretty wild that Sputnik just got namedropped in a fantano video and no one can make an account That's awesome though. >kinda sad to see in recent years rym explode in popularity and sput is still well you know But also kinda awesome though.
brickhed 04.13.25	feel like its generally a good idea if everyone backed up their ratings/reviews on somewhere like RYM at this point
CottonSalad 04.13.25	thread idea: how many of us are right?
zaruyache 04.13.25	gatekept by our own html against the peasant masses m/
Futures 04.13.25	i definitely don’t get gatekeeping a dying music website lol. it’s objectively a very bad thing that this place is stuck.
FrozenFirebug 04.13.25	There's like 80 people who engage in stuff, 150 people who post twice a month in the thread of that one album they like, and 700 lurkers who are smart enough to not engage in stuff.
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	Super underestimating all those numbers
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	"pretty wild that Sputnik just got namedropped in a fantano video and no one can make an account" Which one?
brickhed 04.13.25	people really want to gatekeep this site when we could just ban users for being rude
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	The site cant handle a large active ban list.
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.25	So please stop deciding how the place is run. They do their best.
Veldin 04.13.25	I really should back up my ratings on RYM just in case we go up in flames
EoinCofa 04.13.25	In Flames!
brickhed 04.13.25	woah buddy someone can't take a little joke
efp123 04.13.25	I don't like your attitude
Cygnatti 04.13.25	Crazy to think you can't make new accounts cuz I have like at least 7 alts I made in 2011-2014
TheSonomaDude 04.13.25	So can we all just be promoted to Emeritus since we all made it this far?
Scoot 04.13.25	if anyone has an older account than mine that is regularly active i will be very surprised it takes real dedication and no life to go this distance
osmark86 04.13.25	"You really think allowing some new users would tarnish Sputnik’s charm and utility? That it’d become a social media cesspool? In 2025? Come on now" That isn't at all what I said. Allowing new users is fine imo. I just like that the site is a bit shite design-wise because it reminds me of the internet of old and doesn't try to juice engagement. Also that it's a place where a lot of users stick around new or old.
Hawks 04.13.25	Damn Scoot bro I never realized you joined in 2005. Legend.
Egarran 04.13.25	The osmark has spoken the truth, not any lies.
swallowtales 04.13.25	monthly thread pleading with the gods to rise the site from its partially functional existence, let's go
rabidfish 04.13.25	i just don't listen to as much music as i did before. I also don't care for current music critic discourse at all. Nor do i care about critique at all anymore, tbh. just bumping the same old threads and some obscure stuff i seldom find to deserve the minimum amount of attention it can get here, ig.
Uzumaki 04.13.25	Occasional poster, checking in
Aerisavion 04.13.25	“Occasional poster, checking in” [2]
kevbogz 04.13.25	reporting in o7
swallowtales 04.13.25	It's funny actually, I'm on here just as much as ever and am trying to post more, as I lurked 99.99% of the time previously as evidenced by 750 comments in 15 years. But yeah the activity ain't so high these days so can be a bit difficult to get on a roll. Also terminal issue with being like damn album's sick as and then not having heaps more to say about it, and then just not really engaging with anything that doesn't grab me.
ScuroFantasma 04.13.25	Blood Incantation got 650 ratings since last year, so assuming at least half the users who would be active wouldn’t care about or rate that album, probably a little over a thousand at least?
osmark86 04.13.25	Standing by five by five
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	Holy shit Scoot 2005... wow
Scoot 04.13.25	my 20 year anniversary is in a few weeks i'll probably get really drunk and listen to kezia
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	Do iiiiiit
Veldin 04.13.25	Hell yeah Scoot! My 15 year anniversary is coming up ^_^
DadKungFu 04.13.25	"pretty wild that Sputnik just got namedropped in a fantano video and no one can make an account" Dropping this and refusing to elaborate is diabolical
Colton 04.13.25	tell Fantano don't worry I'm on it
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	November 22 of this year with me my 10 year anni
Emim 04.13.25	All five hundred of my alts
EoinCofa 04.13.25	I miss when Po)))ts used to threaten to beat up people :-(
Butkuiss 04.13.25	Is everyone forgetting Fantano was/is a user here lmao
Scoot 04.13.25	so many of you guys missed the 09-12 glory days it was a fucking time and a half here iluvatar, mynameischan, seaanenome, coneren, thislifeisgenocide, deviant, sonic, balcaen, aids, qwe3, ire, intothepit, kill, weepingbanana only hawks, trebor, storm and myself seem to still be around from that time, might be a few others i was actually a transplant from the mxtabs forum days, where it was humour99, noonwardrace, paranoidd, eggo, subtledagger and a bunch of other degens
Hawks 04.13.25	Man those really were the days. I've talked to Kill and Cone both within the past few weeks(ish) so that was nice lol. My friggin boys. Glad to see there's still some of us old heads around.
Scoot 04.13.25	http://eye.swfchan.com/flash.asp?id=179806&n=10+ryan+parry+-+The+World+is+Terribly+Infested.swf if you really want a flashback, i made this account to make fun of this kid who had posted that song on the main forums and it absolutely blew up for being the shittiest thing any of us had ever heard i wonder where ryan parry is now, there were five or six different message boards ripping on him at the same time
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	I miss Satch. Dude was the best when it came to Noise music. Snide was cool to me. I also miss Pots. HillaryClitTongue (ancap) was an absolute menace on the forums. Was hilarious.
unclereich 04.13.25	I feel like there are a decent amount of folks left here who saw most of the site’s golden age. Hell three users today other than scoot commented and have 05 join dates. I’d also say that the golden age of sput is different depending on who you talk to. A lot of the real og users started trailing off in 2012/13 but there is no denying the renaissance it had in 2013/14.
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 04.13.25	present
unclereich 04.13.25	Shout out to user satellite btw he was the best.
unclereich 04.13.25	Foxxy 😂 see not everyone is dead scoot
Hawks 04.13.25	2009-2012 were the glory days for me but I still love it or else I wouldn't be here lol.
Scoot 04.13.25	satellite was a g ayy foxxy what's good, it's nice to see more of the old guard
Scoot 04.13.25	@reich i put out the bat signal and they all just knew it was time to assemble
unclereich 04.13.25	😂 no doubt just need bitchfork and we’re set
Scoot 04.13.25	i miss spec, together with spare we formed the group of s users that everyone got confused about who was who
pizzamachine 04.13.25	The glory days are dead but the nostalgia remains
rabidfish 04.13.25	i'm forgetting Fantano altogether
Scoot 04.13.25	i had a very old beef with porch, guy was an absolute cunt though he had good taste in music hope he's somewhere stubbing his toe right now
Tundra 04.13.25	I just watched the fantano video and I just don't get the whole "music discourse is dead" thing at all. Maybe in terms of big news outlets yeah. People probably don't care much about Pitchfork anymore, but music sites are still thriving even if it's not here, or more rym and aoty. Then there's the youtube music channels of which many are still going strong. Maybe I just don't get it cause I'm not a gen z drake stan who doesn't... discuss music and just shares their year end topster and thats it? I dunno its hard for me to even wrap my head around.
Scoot 04.13.25	someone go find that crusty fucker someguest
Hawks 04.13.25	Spec is still here on the regular Scoot bro lol. And I just saw someguest post a few days ago also.
Scoot 04.13.25	was fantano actually here? what was his username i don't remember that at all
Scoot 04.13.25	is he? i should go post in his shoutbox
Hawks 04.13.25	Yeah bro hit him up lol.
Jash 04.13.25	“ so many of you guys missed the 09-12 glory days it was a fucking time and a half here” Take me back
Scoot 04.13.25	can't forget wonarabbit, who followed porch around sniffing his farts despite being clowned on by 95% of the site
Scoot 04.13.25	jash and i went to see godspeed together during the first reunion
unclereich 04.13.25	Some guest is still here he came back to insult the new Kendrick Lamar. Hasn’t changed a bit!
Hawks 04.13.25	Meeting of the OGs lets goooooo.
Scoot 04.13.25	fuck man the site was so fun back then, people went absolutely mental when they came back. it was out of nowhere
Hawks 04.13.25	Creeping around old threads will show you how ruthless this place could be at times lmao.
botb 04.13.25	Been around this place legit half my life at this point
Asdfp277 04.13.25	im here
Hawks 04.13.25	Been well over half my life at this point.
Scoot 04.13.25	ffs is the still the goat though dude made me lose my shit laughing at least once a day i remember a subway thread where it was getting heated and he just posted "im here to argue about sandwiches" and then dipped
Hyperion1001 04.13.25	you guys remember when they started spamming gore and venereal disease pics and got image posting taken from us lmao the internet sure has changed hasnt it
Scoot 04.13.25	https://youtu.be/BdNS7sP8nxg?si=syMBtmiN2HVs_6NF this era was the true peak, it brought everyone together
Hawks 04.13.25	So damn funny Hype lmao.
Hawks 04.13.25	LMAO SCOOT HOLY SHIT!!!!
Scoot 04.13.25	at one point in the tinychat/mezz days everyone started posting their junk and that was pretty much it for me
Scoot 04.13.25	@hawks whole list is here https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=177373&listid=198972
unclereich 04.13.25	Ffs still out of nowhere posts and continues to be one of the funniest users ever. Just gold
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	Idk man. When he wanted to, Snake would post something that would leave me in stitches.
Hawks 04.13.25	Dude I forgot all about those videos. I'm cracking up.
DDDeftoneDDD 04.13.25	Active, straight
Asdfp277 04.13.25	A/S/L?
CaliggyJack 04.13.25	30/Yes/W
Hawks 04.13.25	Bruh the video with me and Kill is CLASSIC.
unclereich 04.13.25	Who got rid of moaropeth:/
cylinder 04.13.25	I’m still here for the time being
Hawks 04.13.25	I remember getting roasted so hard in 2008 for 5'ing The Call of the Wretched Sea after one listen.
cylinder 04.13.25	Bruh I got permabanned for “bumping old lists.”
Asdfp277 04.13.25	i think it's moaropeth-blog now
Hawks 04.13.25	WHAT? LMAO
cylinder 04.13.25	I’m deadass! No one even talked to me about it, I was just banned. I was like TF???
Futures 04.13.25	just makes you realize how active this place used to be. just a shadow now. maybe it's for the best.
Hawks 04.13.25	Idk, its not TOO different. Even back then there was a core group of users that kept threads going. Still would be nice to have new people joining though.
Scoot 04.13.25	em slash, god what a classic
unclereich 04.13.25	The new account bug sucks but definitely makes the site feel more exclusive. I’m sure people come here and read hawks’ insane discourse and want to join so they can argue with him then seethe with rage that they cannot make an account. In a way it’s an honor and a privilege to be here while hordes of upset would be users look on with envy
Hawks 04.13.25	LMAOOOO AGREED!!
Scoot 04.13.25	if you want to see just how popular this site was back in 2006-2010 or so, go look at the rating counts for the albums everyone knows well radiohead metallica and pink floyd have 6000 ratings on some of their albums i can't even think of the last album that hit 1000 ratings within two years here
Scoot 04.14.25	jeremy could have made the site bigger than rym but went to go be a professor instead https://www.jeremyferwerda.com/ seems like he's doing well for himself. he actually logged in a couple years ago randomly, probably shook his head and logged back out lol
Futures 04.14.25	this place usually dies in activity after like 7 pm (central for me). especially on weekends. front page comments stay almost the exact same late at night. back then this place was active 24/7. it's def decaying slowly.
Hawks 04.14.25	Yeah that is true. I'd be on Sput at 3am having convos. Man the tinychat days were awesome. Such a carefree time in my life. Really miss those days. We'd have 10 people on there at a time with people coming and going lol.
unclereich 04.14.25	My biggest contribution to the site was when he came back on one occasion and asked for us to make suggestions. I asked if he could make the Sputnik logo hyperlinked to go back to the homepage. How was that not a thing until like 2013/14 I have no idea.
Scoot 04.14.25	hanson reading the worst reviews of all time out loud was just the best man i remember when he did weepingbananas led zeppelin review and we all fucking died when he got to the "i whole lotta love this song" part
Hawks 04.14.25	He needs to just let someone fix the issues and figure out if he would wanna sell it. But he created it so I'm sure a part of him doesn't wanna let it go.
Hawks 04.14.25	I wish Hans would come back man. He's active on FB.
Scoot 04.14.25	it's probably not worth anything though, that's the problem. he waited way too long to get out
unclereich 04.14.25	He was a gentleman and a scholar
Asdfp277 04.14.25	i guess it's hard for mx too cuz he coded it, he might not want someone else to mess with the code to the point where he no longer understand how it's structured
Scoot 04.14.25	should have sold it to jom tbh that guy was the real president of the site, and the last prominent regular that made the jump from the forums
Futures 04.14.25	rip plug. rip fromtheinside. reich knows. best times. viva la hard jammers.
unclereich 04.14.25	Guitarded_chuck would like a word lol. It was always so funny when a forum dweller would crossover
unclereich 04.14.25	Rip hybrid-theory man now those were some great times. Few will remember the nudes
Hawks 04.14.25	Jom still is the president behind the scenes.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Thank you Reich. That is the one noticeable upgrade I've seen made to the site since I joined in 2009.
unclereich 04.14.25	🫡
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Frfr
Scoot 04.14.25	noonwardrace was fucking hilarious, shame he never went here man the forums were absolutely huuuuge back in the day...thousands of posts just gone. i must have had a good 20k posts over there in addition to here i wish there was a way to even read those threads again
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	I was like a fucking archaeologist digging through the ancient forum stuff. It was fascinating
Hawks 04.14.25	I frequented the forums a lot more when I first joined. Then I kinda only popped in and out after that lol.
Scoot 04.14.25	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/printthread.php?t=526384&pp=20&page=867 i randomly found this. not sure if i ever posted in it, but it might be all that's left of that era
Hawks 04.14.25	Holy shit. Its like a time capsule.
Asdfp277 04.14.25	is it not on internet archive
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	What are some ancient usernames people remember? I remember alaclahol being a giant dick in an amusing way
Hawks 04.14.25	I hated that guy lmao.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Like I said, he was a giant dick
Scoot 04.14.25	oh my god that guy was an absolute cunt forgot about him
Hawks 04.14.25	I miss Jrowa and Zoo and fireaboveicebelow and AngelofDeath and Scream and Tyrael and many others I can't think of right now. Crysis and Wiz are still around sparingly.
Scoot 04.14.25	andcas and hep kat always bitching at each other
Trundle 04.14.25	Those were the days
CottonSalad 04.14.25	fireaboveicebelow was cool yah
Futures 04.14.25	black ink and shadows for ancient history
Hawks 04.14.25	SHADOWS YES!!! Reading his reviews got me to join in the first place.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	BLACK INK That's a notable 2005 forum lurker
Scoot 04.14.25	yeah black ink has an older account than mine 2002 lol
Scoot 04.14.25	he was also on ultimateguitar
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	charlesfishtitz anyone?
Futures 04.14.25	yeah i used to read the metal revs and comments before i joined haha. seeing 05 even back in 2012 felt like ancient history. now those comments are like the dead sea scrolls in comparison lol
Hawks 04.14.25	Sput history!!
Colton 04.14.25	“ was fantano actually here? what was his username i don't remember that at all” his account is theneedledrop. he’s an active user just doesn’t comment
Scoot 04.14.25	eggo was a forums legend, at one time had the most posts. 130k or so
Futures 04.14.25	theneedledrop account is clearly someone who just logs fantanos scores.
Scoot 04.14.25	the one poster who comes to mind when i think "sputnik" is KILL
Spec 04.14.25	Users have to be in the thousands but there’s only like fifty who post lol.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Who is the forum user whose Avatar was just like some figure with a static background?
Colton 04.14.25	@futures it’s actually him
Futures 04.14.25	it's not
metalphil 04.14.25	I’ve been posting here for years but know pretty much nothing about this site’s history. Why is account creation broken / not getting fixed?
Futures 04.14.25	site got hacked 2022 or 2023. forums were wiped completely.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	It's fairly remarkable that the site exists at all... I continue to come here out of duty and respect
Futures 04.14.25	kill is the man but willie will always be pure sput to me. read his stuff all the time. and he's still going strong! a great rep for the site.
brickhed 04.14.25	fantano should post so we can troll him
Spec 04.14.25	I always think of Jom. The classic jombomb and all that.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	That's where the forums got absolutely hilarious watching banned users argue with Jom
Spec 04.14.25	Low key my favourite section of the forums.
Scoot 04.14.25	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/printthread.php?t=295515&pp=40 here's a lot of really old accounts pixiesfanyo is another one i forgot about subtledagger was such a dickbag
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	The forums were like a secret door to a whole other world
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	I Am The Robots, lol
Futures 04.14.25	so much history got wiped
Colton 04.14.25	@futures i’ve seen theneedledrop account rate things days before fantano’s reviews go up on multiple occasions. it’s him
Dedes 04.14.25	gardnerville gangsta 01-28-2005 01:52 PM I need a reason for my taste in music?....its like saying.."oh you dont like esparrigus, elvaluate it and make a good reason"......the only answer i would have is "it tastes bad"//// bright eyes is like esparagus....best when burned to a crisp or in the garbage disposal
Dedes 04.14.25	Esparrigus This all seems so self parodying that it's difficult for someone I've my age to imagine a society of internet where this was the level of discourse lmao
Asdfp277 04.14.25	espárrago
Poet 04.14.25	I miss Jom :-(
Hawks 04.14.25	POET!!!!!
Hawks 04.14.25	Also I just talked to Jom the other day. He's very much working behind the scenes lol.
Poet 04.14.25	That's good to hear. I was just thinking about him the other day. Scrolling through these comments brought back major nostalgia.
Intothepit 04.14.25	I’m left.
Hawks 04.14.25	Glad to see you around buddy!!! One of my original Sput bros.
Intothepit 04.14.25	I’m also right.
unclereich 04.14.25	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=557866&listid=164924 I made a list a while ago trying to record as many usernames and their join dates. Feel free to comment and add to it you won’t get banned for bumping it lol.
Intothepit 04.14.25	^He’s reich
Hawks 04.14.25	Man my year has some heavy hitters lol.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Nice... Bungy!
unclereich 04.14.25	cutest avatar for sure
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Pit is still among Us
evilford 04.14.25	I would really. Really. REALLY like to see this site NOT die
Sevengill 04.14.25	damn, 2007 feels like a lifetime ago. it's been a ride, boys.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Been a hot minute since we've had a Sputnik nostalgia trip this heavy
Hawks 04.14.25	Yeah this is much needed.
Butkuiss 04.14.25	I bump into AtavanHalen irl every few months or so. I don’t want to dox him but he’s a public figure now. He has made me promise to never mention this site to him again.
Spec 04.14.25	Seeing “Esparrigus” made me forget how to spell the actual word.
Futures 04.14.25	^same with "hillaryclittounge"
evilford 04.14.25	Asparagus ez Me smart me word good
Scoot 04.14.25	what this proves to me is the amount of vet posters that still lurk but don't post
Hawks 04.14.25	Yeah I feel like a lot of older users that aren't around anymore still lurk now and then tbh.
Scoot 04.14.25	jeeze i forgot about josh d
unclereich 04.14.25	Pit neutral thunder and Kimm all walk into a butt
Hawks 04.14.25	Josh D still posts a decent amount.
Hawks 04.14.25	OMG KIM!!!
Scoot 04.14.25	yazz flute is another one i've seen from time to time i couldn't stand Tyler
unclereich 04.14.25	Hawks and metallicopeth were the same user for years
Futures 04.14.25	what is the oldest rev on this site anyway? anyone actually know?
unclereich 04.14.25	Josh d quit the site and came back recently which begs the question has anyone made a list about leaving and actually kept their word?
Hawks 04.14.25	LMAOOOO Funnily enough I only ever had one alt when I got banned years ago.
Futures 04.14.25	andcas or was he banned lol
unclereich 04.14.25	Andcas did a self nuke asking for a permaban in the forums. Not quite the same imo because you’re forcing the mods to hold you accountable for your sput addiction. Real lads leave and are never heard from again like keyblade.
Butkuiss 04.14.25	andcas asked to be permabanned iirc
Futures 04.14.25	keyblade was the man. loved talking hoops with him.
klauswagon 04.14.25	I have been here/lurking a long time, not quite as long as some, but my fate was always to remain in the shadows I suppose haha. It has been a joy to watch for the most part. Not a bad arc to ride and far from over if this site doesn't die on us : )
unclereich 04.14.25	Also it’s kinda lame to get bullied into permabanning yourself or making an “am leaving” list. Just leave bro. Andcas would be a legend now if he stayed. He was basically the og Jesse Lacey pissing on people, he’d be championed in yellowcard threads
RVAHC13 04.14.25	Not that I was ever anybody on here but there are a few users i remember that I don’t see posting here anymore. Sucks about Spirit.
unclereich 04.14.25	Hello klauswagon nice to see a 2021 account.
unclereich 04.14.25	If you joined the site and made a comment your are someone in my eyes
evilford 04.14.25	Keyblade is a legend fs. And ryus
Futures 04.14.25	i was just lurking when andcas went down lol. funny thing to witness from the sidelines. seemed like he had some fans and wasn't universally hated. just a bitch move i guess lol
klauswagon 04.14.25	the pleasures of bodysnatching ; )
Futures 04.14.25	and hey to anyone who thinks of themselves as not anyone, we ain't anyone either lol. just people who comment more. that's it. the non frequent commenters are often the best users here.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Sputnik alts are a whole other can of worms
RVAHC13 04.14.25	lol is snide still here somewhere
Emim 04.14.25	"only hawks, trebor, storm and myself seem to still be around from that time, might be a few others" 😡🤬
Colton 04.14.25	i’m from that time
CottonSalad 04.14.25	first account was 2011 (mostly lurking), good/funny memories all around lol
Spec 04.14.25	“i was just lurking when andcas went down lol” andcas wasn’t bad, he just got emotional very quickly but most of us did when we were younger
Gyromania 04.14.25	Lost a lot of great people on here, but I stick around for the people who are still here. Still some great users using this site. Been here since the beginning and will be here till the bitter end
Futures 04.14.25	massive truth. joined at 18 and i still felt too young lol. wild people joined here at like 12.
Colton 04.14.25	i joined at 11 lol
Futures 04.14.25	see that's insane, i just forget that young people are still on here because of how old this place is. so you're 16? no offense at all but it explains a ton lol.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Mimsy! It's never mattered at Sputnik if you were 12 or 40. Mostly about shit given and taken
Colton 04.14.25	lol i’m talking about my original account (musicreviewer44)
Gyromania 04.14.25	I was 13 iirc, maybe 14. 35 now
Futures 04.14.25	lmao damn
Gyromania 04.14.25	And yeah Gyro isn't my original account either. Def the one I've had the longest tho
unclereich 04.14.25	And you haven’t changed a bit gyro!
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Alts...I'm not the man to do it but I would love a deep investigation of Sputnik alts
Gyromania 04.14.25	On the contrary! My political opinions, music taste, etc have changed dramatically over the years.
Futures 04.14.25	we should all give our alts to new users as penance
Gyromania 04.14.25	"Alts...I'm not the man to do it but I would love a deep investigation of Sputnik alts" No way, I'd prob lose multiple staff accounts
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	And yeah, but you've always been gyro
unclereich 04.14.25	Hep kat isn’t around any more to make fun of people’s join dates folks don’t need to pretend they joined a decade before they actually did lol.
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	This place is singular though...the posting of fives...men...m/...digs
Futures 04.14.25	hep was such a sack of shit lol. i even remember thinking in 2013 eh this feels too late to join this place forums are dying haha
unclereich 04.14.25	I still have his phone number lol
Futures 04.14.25	bro lmao
Futures 04.14.25	was digging for some history and found this page with 4 forgotten emeritus's and a few classic users. shoutout electric city. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=28882&page=2#lastpost
FearThyEvil 04.14.25	is it more than 1000? I'd bet it's around 2000 honestly with just a lot of people not rating or actively using the site, more just chillin. Could be an ambitious amount but there's also probably a lot of people who check the site, don't make accounts (obviously can't) and just browse the site. I mean there's definitely plenty that probably never care about commenting or rating
RVAHC13 04.14.25	i miss lloyd
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Jizzinmypants. Poor username but the Avatar kind of justified it
Hawks 04.14.25	Lmao
evilford 04.14.25	Lloyd is still here from time to time. el_newg or something like that
Uzumaki 04.14.25	Whatever happened to TheMightyScoop? I remember back in my early days he’d always try to shit on my metalcore taste but then he mellowed out, seemed nice after that.
EphemeralEternity 04.14.25	You know that old adage 'a relationship is in decline when you spend more time reflecting on memories than you spend making new ones' But I guess that's a null point because the site is objectively in a steep decline lmao
WatchItExplode 04.14.25	Sputnik mysteries
TheSonomaDude 04.14.25	Love it when the homies just recollect
Emim 04.14.25	"Mimsy!" WatchitExplode! You been around as long as I remember I made a name change archive list a while back
Emim 04.14.25	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=277472&listid=203664 Idk how many are accurate Would be cool to do one for alts too
JayEnder 04.14.25	My man Scoot is as og as it gets. That was an impressive rundown and daaamn some of those names were a blast from the past. I've been a lurker since like 2010 but never made an account til 2016 for some reason, this place was the wild wild west back then. Who remembers Dryden lol
Avagantamos 04.14.25	selling sputnik alts $50 each
Emim 04.14.25	I'm not letting EnricoPallazzo go for less than a cool $100
JayEnder 04.14.25	I was 8 years old when some of y'all were sputtin'
Futures 04.14.25	wow dryden lol. weird dude. might be a serial killer.
Emim 04.14.25	Funny guy though. Great moar opeth material
Intothepit 04.14.25	People really still think Pit was only just one person…
Demon of the Fall 04.14.25	"selling sputnik alts $50 each" cornered the market, damn. I have never created an alt and am now regretting this decision, lol
Aerisavion 04.14.25	I've been super inactive for long periods of time, but I can't believe I'm coming up for 10 years on the site. That shit is wild.
Butkuiss 04.14.25	320 comments and nobody has mentioned Recspecs, CaptainDooRight, or Vooligan :(
Aerisavion 04.14.25	I'm surprised there aren't more Pots mentions, honestly.
Demon of the Fall 04.14.25	I didn't realise we were in here mentioning people. Pots is a legendary user for sure and no I will not actually follow through with my ridiculous idea from yesterday (don't agree to ANYTHING after more than 3 full beers. Good advice for life generally, I reckon)
Aerisavion 04.14.25	I kinda wish I'd stuck around more when I was super inactive, but IRL be like that so wcyd.
Josh D. 04.14.25	For the record, I never made a list about quitting the site. That's a level of self-aggrandizement I could never sink to. I said I swore it off in the list about Divaman's passing, but was stopping in to comment because he was always nice and bought some of my music. Even in my times least activity, I still lurked to keep up with music. I just wanted to stop posting as much because who care
Scoot 04.14.25	recspecs was wild lol, dude would fuck anything with a pulse
Scoot 04.14.25	MO still pops up from time to time as well
Scoot 04.14.25	https://www.tumblr.com/moaropeth-blog here is moaropeth, some gems buried within
SomeCallMeTim 04.14.25	is this the sign-up sheet for coltonmusic
Scoot 04.14.25	lmao KILL's periphery II review is one of the greatest things ever written "while he hits the notes, the notes themselves are gay" "hats off to em, but i don't wear a hat so they can suck my dick"
Spec 04.14.25	Misha reposting it too lol.
Demon of the Fall 04.14.25	"here is moaropeth, some gems buried within" Keyblade nailed it with the idea that "Opeth fan, actually" line would be immortalised. 11 years later and it still lives on, lol (I've used it myself despite never once seeing the original source... until now)
osmark86 04.14.25	keyblade is a dude. only see him post on the same Villa forum we both frequent these days though, not sure how active he is one here.
SteakByrnes 04.14.25	keyblade is goated
osmark86 04.14.25	I mean he's a Villa fan, so yes
MO 04.14.25	hell yea scoot, classic moaropeth
Hawks 04.14.25	MO another good ole OG making his way into the tjread.
Gameofmetal 04.14.25	As far as active commenting users this is just a glorified discord server, which kinda rules, but . . . someone should probably fix account creation.
osmark86 04.14.25	I asked earlier, but I'll ask again. Who tf is site admin these days and has access to the codebase?
Aerisavion 04.14.25	As far as I'm aware it's always been mx, who's basically just a ghost at this point. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/mx
SteakByrnes 04.14.25	its only mx and he refuses to give anybody who actually gives a shit about the site any access to it lol
osmark86 04.14.25	well if he has no interest in managing the site anymore, maybe try to find a team of replacement enthusiasts? XD
Aerisavion 04.14.25	"well if he has no interest in managing the site anymore, maybe try to find a team of replacement enthusiasts? XD" Steak's serious - people have been saying for years that someone should take over the site, and have repeatedly approached him about it, but mx has always been a closed door.
DoofDoof 04.14.25	Quality not quantity my fellow pilgrims
osmark86 04.14.25	that is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure there are plenty of users here with passable (if not brilliant) development skills that could manage the site if it was made open-source. pretty sure we could also self-fund its operational costs easily. is he really that selfish?
Hawks 04.14.25	I agree Osmark bro.
Aerisavion 04.14.25	@osmark - there are people with dev experience volunteering to help (for free) in his user page feed, or begging for him to do something to keep the site alive. Seems to be falling on deaf ears, sadly.
Snake. 04.14.25	i've been thinking this a lot because march madness has been fun this year but its days are numbered sorry steakbro
Hawks 04.14.25	People have been saying that for many years lol.
deathschool 04.14.25	2.
osmark86 04.14.25	Shit I'd volunteer personally. If only to fix site bugs. Hell I'd learn php for it shudders
Hawks 04.14.25	I told Ford this yesterday but this is gonna come to a head at some point. I don't believe Jeremy will just let the site die/he knows how much it means to so many of us. I also believe that he still holds a special place in his heart for this place because its his creation so it may be hard for him to give up control despite making zero changes or fixing the bugs. I just have a hard time believing that he'll let it just go away.
osmark86 04.14.25	Sometimes the best you can do for someone/something is to let go. A lesson I hope he learns one day.
Colton 04.14.25	I’m almost finished rebuilding this site + adding a bunch of new features so dw
klauswagon 04.14.25	fix loveless god dambit
deathschool 04.14.25	Colton please add a function to upload my home address
Colton 04.14.25	you can make lists or text posts that contain your home address
deathschool 04.14.25	I want you to come find me.
MTObsidian 04.14.25	It'll be a sad day if/when this site ever dies off, my entire approach to music and trying new things was built on lurking here for almost 15 years now. I visit/comment more now because I get bored at work lol, but I still find new music all the time here. I tried going on RYM like twice and hated the interface and haven't been back there since. Sput is definitely home
EphemeralEternity 04.14.25	Anyone else almost exclusively use sputnik when you're procrastinating doing important shit?
Hawks 04.14.25	Yes.
EphemeralEternity 04.14.25	Somehow feels more productive than procrasturbating I'm just procrastinating sleep right now and I know I'll hate myself for it in 6 hours
osmark86 04.14.25	Yes. This site and a football forum.
Aerisavion 04.14.25	Yes. [2]
osmark86 04.14.25	..then again what could be more important than making men puns on esoteric metal releases?
Relinquished 04.14.25	they’re not really puns, more like forced jokes just like men
Hawks 04.14.25	Men. [2]
Relinquished 04.14.25	bam
gabba 04.14.25	Great taste, just keep on rockin’
VlacDrac 04.14.25	"Is everyone forgetting Fantano was/is a user here lmao" Deep lore
VlacDrac 04.14.25	"you guys remember when they started spamming gore and venereal disease pics and got image posting taken from us lmao" What? Image posting was a thing?
deathschool 04.14.25	Fantano was the one that got image posting banned and that’s why the og users hate him.
VlacDrac 04.14.25	"Also I just talked to Jom the other day. He's very much working behind the scenes lol." Just like Norm is Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Trundle 04.14.25	ThePalestMexican pretending to be his own girlfriend for a year was quite a hoot, I’m happy that we still have a few of the core of the community back then, To the lost!
Scoot 04.14.25	for a second i thought maniac was fantano then i realized they are both doughy balding white guys with glasses i know he was trying to make a spinoff to sputnik called mediasnobs
Scoot 04.14.25	jeremy is going to want to stop paying for the servers at some point if he's completely distanced himself
Colton 04.14.25	he’s definitely still profiting
Faraudo 04.14.25	So, is the account creation ability completely broken? Or are there people who can still join in?
Emim 04.14.25	mediasnobs was cool, I wrote a review or two back in the day. Maniac was one of the first Underoath/Chevelle bros
ThyCrossAwaits 04.14.25	There’s no way Fantano DOESN’T have at least one account on here. Whether he creeps or if it’s just a dead alt who knows
Snake. 04.14.25	i always thought that it was broken because mx broke it to prevent skele and colton from making more accounts
Faraudo 04.14.25	I'll try to lure Fantano out, if he's here, he will answer: Fantano suck my ass
Faraudo 04.14.25	The internet's busiest ass sucking music nerd
Faraudo 04.14.25	So anyway, can new people join the site or not?
Asdfp277 04.14.25	no
Asdfp277 04.14.25	idk about yall, but im still mourning the death of the forum -- now all we've got are blogs and chats ;-;
Colton 04.14.25	what is the actual benefit of a forum
Relinquished 04.14.25	is that a serious question
Asdfp277 04.14.25	this site is one
Relinquished 04.14.25	man never heard of a public forum
Above 04.14.25	i've always been a lurker, but i'm usually checking the site daily. i'll never forget the kill periphery ii days, still cracks me up all the time
Asdfp277 04.14.25	the notes themselves
Hawks 04.14.25	Good times bros.
Intothepit 04.14.25	I really just pine for the days of the TMF
Relinquished 04.14.25	yall were like 4 dudes too lol
Hawks 04.14.25	Man forgot about that lmao.
Valzentia 04.14.25	i still lurk
kodama 04.14.25	I'll definitely mourn this site when the dead internet theory becomes true and there's zero organic forums anymore.
Emim 04.15.25	when you die ppl are gonna conduct ur autopsy and be like wtf happened here
Butkuiss 04.15.25	Sputnik is like the one platform mostly immune to the dead internet theory at this point. At least I know all the outrageous takes I read here aren’t a rage baiting LLM engagement farming.
Spec 04.15.25	Yes! It’s nice to see that some people actually are that stupid.
Cygnatti 04.15.25	"When he hits the notes, the notes themselves are gay."
WatchItExplode 04.15.25	Sputnik has always been a bizarre, little magical musical Kingdom that some folks were lucky enough to discover in their web excavation
zaruyache 04.15.25	i mumble "the notes themselves, they are gay," to myself far too much. iconic rev lmao
Relinquished 04.15.25	KILL was the best he couldn't be allowed to survive the climate now but he had the best humour here
WatchItExplode 04.15.25	I'd be willing to bet that kill has a urinal in his garage
Relinquished 04.15.25	and he would probably say it's your mom just hangin out there
Ignimbrite 04.15.25	reading "the notes themselves are gay" tickled awake a part of my brain that hasn't seen sunlight since i was 14, damn
VlacDrac 04.15.25	"i always thought that it was broken because mx broke it to prevent skele and colton from making more accounts" Lmao, big if true
NolWantsHisAvatarBak 04.15.25	they need to stop making Mac miller albums already
NolWantsHisAvatarBak 04.15.25	I remember when circles dropped people were like “this is totally it bro” and now here we are
NolWantsHisAvatarBak 04.15.25	at this point all a “Mac miller” album is is a corporate entity remixing old shitty outtakes, and people still gobble that shit up like he’s their long lost pal speaking from beyond the grave
Colton 04.15.25	yeah listening to Balloonerism did give me a weird feeling. but it's undeniably a solid release. at least they're not scraping the bottom of the barrel for shitty demos he never would have wanted to put out
Colton 04.15.25	nol do you want to join coltonmusic? you will get your avatar back
EphemeralEternity 04.15.25	Throw me a in a volcano but KILL absolutely did not have the best humor here unless you think “xyz is gay” is peak comedy He would drop into threads with some beavis and butthead type remark then bounce, never made me laugh even once like most of yall have
Colton 04.15.25	yeah he was my favourite budgie alt
Hawks 04.15.25	Kill is the man wtf???
Relinquished 04.15.25	dgaf you weren’t there you didn’t care your mommy wasn’t there the whole world stared prob wrong if it’s not a ‘17 joindate but that’s also late to only assume that’s his only kind of quips
el_newg 04.15.25	literally just read a single review from KILL and you will see his humour is not just "___ is gay" but you already know that and are purposely mischaracterising it
Dedes 04.15.25	Kill is like if high school locker room humor was actually good So it is ____is gay but also So much more
EphemeralEternity 04.15.25	yeah I just read a few of his reviews, he's not just a one trick pony I guess but I just don't find him as hilarious as it feels like I'm supposed to Wasn't he in his 50s?
gabba 04.15.25	What makes you think that?
Relinquished 04.15.25	lmao what a crazy assumption
Colton 04.15.25	what is mediasnobs and why is every post on there from pizzamachine
pizzamachine 04.15.25	It’s like Coltonmusic lol. User MANIAC! Was trying to make their site popular so I wanted to help and beef up the site
Relinquished 04.15.25	bro thought he had an original idea lol Maniac beat you to it years ago
Intothepit 04.15.25	Users who weren’t around when KILL was around will not get it. Sonic/Kill were the days
pizzamachine 04.15.25	That they were
Colton 04.15.25	i’m not making mediasnobs
pizzamachine 04.15.25	So you say
Scoot 04.15.25	em slash
Colton 04.15.25	but I do expect you to be on there beefing it up
Cygnatti 04.15.25	Mediasnobs was is kinda cool
Cygnatti 04.15.25	I forgot what's Moar Opeth
EphemeralEternity 04.15.25	Never forget the the 2016/17 civil war Major beefs in every thread overshadowing any discussion of the music Alts spamming obscene shit on every thread Calls for Sowing to be demoted among others A fucking sputnik constitution was even drafted Good times
Storm In A Teacup 04.15.25	Too bad they had to turn off making new accounts to stop it. All it took was a couple people with mental episodes and multiple e-mails to destroy sputnik, and people here reminisce like it was a good thing. 😭
NolWantsHisAvatarBak 04.15.25	Is Colton music a real website
Relinquished 04.15.25	lol storm very true eph reminiscing on kids on drugs shitposting being a cool time but can’t let us enjoy KILL’s era

Relinquished 04.15.25	yeah that was another dude ppl thought he was another good friend of ours but he was chaotic in his own right
Futures 04.15.25	dudes check the who
Trundle 04.15.25	Lmao kill was hilarious! So were a lot of users and just discussion in general. Yeah you had to keep your head on swivel, but everyone’s balls got busted. The people who unearth posts from 15 plus years ago and take great offence to them, weren’t old enough to be on the internet/ weren’t even born at the time, Almost every website with a comment section was chock full of the most non pc stuff back then. But people didn’t lose their minds when some randumb dildo on the innernette called them a bad name once.
Egarran 04.15.25	You can always ran your dildo on my innernette.
Emim 04.15.25	The sput constitution was so stupid. That was right around when I came back
RVAHC13 04.16.25	People are getting upset seeing gay used as an insult on the internet 10 years ago? I got called every ethnic/homophobic slur imaginable just playing counterstrike in the mid-late 00s
Asdfp277 04.16.25	do u think its ok today

Futures 04.16.25	list is shit lol butts
KevinKC 04.16.25	I don't understand, account creation is broken ?
Asdfp277 04.16.25	correct -- people can no longer make new sputnik accounts, as has been the case for a while now
Emim 04.16.25	That's why there haven't been any new users posting lists with the n word in all caps
Futures 04.16.25	rip that guy who always made all caps lists about diarrhea real ones remember
iHaveSex 04.16.25	my old accounts were banned for too much rock n roll
WatchItExplode 04.16.25	Nah, if that was going to happen to anybody it would be Pedro B.
Supercoolguy64 04.16.25	Sputnik will never die. NEVER.

Emim 04.16.25	Reading through some moaropeth and syn was a funny guy
Egarran 04.16.25	>Sputnik will never die. NEVER. Sputnik existed before this universe was born and will continue in the next.
ovmunster 04.16.25	about tree fiddy
Cygnatti 04.16.25	Sputnik constitution is hilarious

Sinternet 04.17.25	thinking back on the old user shit whatever happened to daveyboy? first guy to actually be nice to me in a sput thread back in the day lmao idk why i remember that
henryChinaski 04.17.25	"is it more than 1000?" man I hope so!
Egarran 04.17.25	cue triumphant bagpipes YES The true Sputcore: https://youtu.be/HXm8JdC4k4c?si=S4kxZKE8eyJJhak1
EphemeralEternity 04.17.25	@sinternet @futures sorry for the shade back in the day obviously nothing personal just me blowing off steam with strangers online although you guys dished it back pretty well Is it bad that this place almost seems a bit too quiet without any active beefs and discussion actually focusing primarily on music?
Egarran 04.17.25	If you think it's bad, it's bad.
MTObsidian 04.17.25	"sputnik sovereign citizens" No officer, I'm not consuming music--I'm listening to it, which is a guaranteed right of admiralty law not confined or limited by the government
Dedes 04.17.25	@eph iirc that was roughly when I first became a truly active member but I was a wildly, nay frighteningly dense teenager so I didn't really comprehend the gist of things. That was when the whole snide faking a marriage and cancer bullying thing happened wasn't it or no?
EphemeralEternity 04.17.25	Yeah snide was also apparently being stalked by a buxom milf And my old account was permanently banned for saying g--k because I genuinely didn't know it was a derogatory term I thought it was just a silly sounding word lmao I'm surprised you decided to stick around
EphemeralEternity 04.17.25	I had an account here since 2014 but only started interacting when my dog was accidentally put down in 2016 I didn't want to post about it on my personal socials but I wanted to get it off my chest so I posted here and surprised by how communal it was then quickly found myself in petty beefs. Oh well you live and you learn or at any rate you live
Emim 04.17.25	"thinking back on the old user shit whatever happened to daveyboy?" He was my favorite staffer and seemingly left before I came back 😔
WatchItExplode 04.17.25	Fantastic dude and Aussie if I remember correctly. I used to BS with the Aussies in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep way back in the day
Scoot 04.17.25	anyone else remember the whole "rest" saga with that fucking goober alex whatever who was making a hundred alts to 5 his own shitty black metal album that sounded like he recorded it on a pregnancy tester at least i think it was called rest
MTObsidian 04.17.25	"that sounded like he recorded it on a pregnancy tester" Lol jfc
Beardog 04.17.25	Yes I'm missing Snide
Scoot 04.17.25	probably the worst sounding album in existence i'd rather go deaf than listen to that again
MTObsidian 04.17.25	Even worse than that shitty Christian white nationalist metal album from Tougher Than Nails that bubbled its way to the surface recently? That is a special kind of awful
Spec 04.17.25	I remember thinking that Rest album was pretty good lol. Tanner Weed was his name.
Emim 04.17.25	Oh that guy lmao
Relinquished 04.17.25	yea we’re not tinting that wine red, that douche sucked
Scoot 04.17.25	dude was a stinky ass turd
Scoot 04.17.25	https://youtu.be/0zBvqooOWl0?si=u8Rfi2ba01NIJJxS who could forget this fucking guy HYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH MAAAAAAAKE MEEEEEEEEE
lucazade22 04.18.25	I've been a user here since 08 and have always used it for finding new music rather than commenting loads. I'm actually only just closing in on 1000 comments lol
EphemeralEternity 04.18.25	One of snides projects was strangely not bad for what it was What happened to him?
EphemeralEternity 04.18.25	And what happened to the inimitable Michael snoxall? He was a pretentious twat but his projects were pretty good, seems like he hasn’t put anything out in since 2017 though
EphemeralEternity 04.18.25	Most of all what happened to skele? Didn’t he try to come back seeking forgiveness and when people didn’t just sweep what he did under the rug he flipped out and got banned again?
Calc 04.18.25	"One of snides projects was strangely not bad for what it was What happened to him?" I thought snide turned into veninblazer?
Sinternet 04.18.25	@balls honestly man i never had any beef with you beyond just playful banter, although i probably crossed the line at some point. i was an angsty teenager so whatever lol apologies the less said about the return of skele the better, guy clearly still has massive mental problems and can't understand why everyone hates him. also generally just a bigot on top of everything else. "I thought snide turned into veninblazer?" lmao separate people to the point venin sharted a picture of the two of them meeting irl a few years back. venin is cool now though, just hung up on self-esteem bullshit about people ripping on their taste. their old account was agentdeathbat which is when they were unbearable, completely different person now much for the better.
denboy 04.18.25	"if anyone has an older account than mine that is regularly active i will be very surprised" noob
denboy 04.18.25	or to be more og mxtabs authentic stfu u fuckin noob
BigTuna 04.18.25	Here since 2009 and still lurking daily
osmark86 04.18.25	Toss me in the same lava stew as EphemeralEternity, but I also didn't really think KILL was all that funny. Too much juvenile 4chan energy most of the time, but he had his moments too. Just never understood the absolute worship for him on here. Stockholm syndrome?
EphemeralEternity 04.19.25	@sin Yeah it was all just a bit of raillery, although sach did get under my skin sometimes... but while he would derail every thread I found him pretty interesting and he introduced me to some obscure shit And we buried the hatchet too I've got him on fb and he just got engaged and looks happy so I'm glad to see he's doing well because if what he said was to be believed he was in a real dark place for a while
Flugmorph 04.19.25	I'm not left.
EphemeralEternity 04.19.25	vote left if you want rights blud
pedro70512 04.19.25	"if anyone has an older account than mine that is regularly active i will be very surprised" I'd win by a landslide but I was last active in 1970
Dedes 04.19.25	@eph iirc Sach was a real POS and probably the only person I ever personally quipped with aside from Zip lmao But I'm stoked if he actually turned over the negativity, he was if anything at least an intelligent man so it was kinda sad to see that churn out against himself and everyone else
pizzamachine 04.19.25	“I'm not left.” That’s not right
osmark86 04.19.25	Probably a sign of him maturing and having done a lot of self-reflection. Throwing tantrums and being incontrolably emotional as an adult is not a good look. Glad for him he seemingly grew out of it.
EphemeralEternity 04.19.25	I think a lot of what he wrote about his life was some sort of (autoerotic?) fiction, at least the deliriant abuse and going debt collecting with a hammer and stuff... at least that didn't really line up with the dude I saw posting on facebook, but I probably shouldn't speculate. Maybe he was just good at keeping it behind the scenes I'm glad everyone here has buried any hatchets they had, I guess since new accounts can't be created it's fair to assume everyone is at least in their mid 20s and up now huh
osmark86 04.19.25	Yeah I think so. Personally I'm turning 39 in about a week. Time flies lol.
Relinquished 04.19.25	“Just never understood the absolute worship for him on here. Stockholm syndrome?” damn we can’t be friends with the guy without being diagnosed huh the dude put on a lot of people on good thrash and old school heavy metal. being a funny guy was not all he was and ppl on the outside seem like they don’t know.
osmark86 04.19.25	I was being a bit flippant tbh
Flugmorph 04.19.25	"That’s not right" pizza i love you, always witty and engaged.
Hawks 04.19.25	Yeah the Kill slander is absolutely nuts. He's a really good dude.
TheSonomaDude 04.19.25	Kill thought i was british
osmark86 04.19.25	KILL probably thought you were gay
Emim 04.19.25	Forgot about sach. What a miserable guy he was.
