olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Feb. 03 2006, 16:33 I'm pretty sure I did this topic a while back, but I can't find it with the search feature, so here it is again. I posted on another forum I hang out in ( www.rathergood.com )that my rock god was Mike, to get the reply from a Canadian "Who's Mike Oldfield?" Luckily a friendly Liverpudlian replied "a kick ass musician" So, I got to thinking, where else do you lot hang out? What other forums/interests do you have? Would we like to visit? And do you get to mention Mike whilst you're there? -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Feb. 03 2006, 18:50 I've got several other places where I 'hang out', and all of them are Yahoo discussion groups. Here they are: - FallenforEvanescence* - Nova Roma - Hibernaculum* - Sigur_Ros* - ris_delitti_imperfetti (Italian TV series, CSI-style)* - thefirstcut* I've mentioned M.O. in the places marked with *. In addition to this, I quite regularily contribute lyrics to a number of completely unrelated websites. Also, I've frequently posted in various boards @ ezboard. But I've never mentioned M.O. there. Would you like to visit? I don't think so, especially NR. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

stevenmd779 Group: Members Posts: 248 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Feb. 03 2006, 21:15 I used to post on the hipforums as Beyond-the-Clouds, but I got banned now, and yes I did talk about Mike Oldfield sometimes. Check out my posts, they're somewhat entertaining. I'm also at myspace as Steven Dutchnak. -------------- "A people who would sacrifice liberty for security will lose both, and deserve neither."

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Feb. 04 2006, 04:09 I used to contribute to several Alanis Morissette forums but hardly ever do so now. Same goes for Dylan - these days most of my Dylan interest is satisfied by a couple of magazines - Isis and Judas! - writing as well as reading, and I'm not really tempted to trawl the internet much (though there was a time when I did). So as far as forums are concerned, this place and musicVR.com are the most significant at the moment. Does Mike spill out into other areas? Not really. I've spent the last couple of years organising an exhibition (it ran from October to December of last year) in which I was drawing material from a range of art forms, and wondered initially about including Mike in it in some form; but in the end Mike didn't really fit, though Dylan did.  There's a web page still up about the exhibition, with some images, HERE.

It's one of the many places I mentioned above, where I wrote anything - it's not the main one, no one is.   I mostly contributed there as translator into Italian, and, in the Italian-language version, I made some additions and editing to the Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre sections. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Feb. 04 2006, 10:20 I visit the AnglersNet.co.uk forums every day now, it is a fishing site and I do not fish, but they have an excellent 'Photography' section and hold bi-weekly photo competitions. The winner gets to choose the theme for the next comp and judge it. I won the last comp with a 'Communication' theme with a photo of two snails getting to know each other, and I get to pick the theme and judge the next comp, which starts tomorrow, 'Mans Best Friend at Work or Play'. My partner Michael (HellBelly) won the previous comp which was 'Trees' and chose the current comp 'Transport' which ends at midnight. I am still called TubularBelle in there, so check it out, and if you are a keen photographer join up, it's very new, we are only up to comp #6 so need more people to get involved. They just announced today that we have a sponsor who will send winners free mouse pads and coasters with their photos on them. Have yet to find out if I miss out or not. In the Non-Fishing Chat section I started a thread called 'Your Favourite Artist, Singer or Band' just so I can talk about Mike and with over 8,000 members I have made just 2 new MO friends. The 'Non-Fishing Chat' is excellent, you can post about anything!!! -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

I haven't done many things related to MO, though  I started the Earth Moving article. Ah...the wikipedia! In that several of you are contributing to it, and there are also students and teachers among us, the librarian within can't help share an article from Nature about it (if you've not seen it). I think it's wonderful that some of you are contributors. Keep up the great work!! -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Feb. 04 2006, 12:51 I'm fairly active over on the Chemical Brothers forum on their official site. Can I just say the Chemical Brothers really really know how to look after their fans. Not only do they host and actively promote an FTP site where fans can trade live bootlegs, rare tracks and indeed their own music, not only do they regularly post themselves in their forum, being on hand to answer any questions fans have and being hugely encouraging to fans making their own music, not only all that but they had a private after show party for all the forum members who made it to their big London gig on new years eve where everyone met each other and got to meet Tom and Ed Chemical That is how you look after your fans. Its the little things that make fans think the artist cares. Back to top

I also read morrissey-solo but never post. Duh. :P I realise the question wasn't "which forums do you not post at?"
