netphoria: message board history
 
a giant cesspit of people who loved The Smashing Pumpkins

Back in the '90s my sister and I discovered that there was a giant cesspit of people who loved The Smashing Pumpkins as much as we did. They weren't at our school, they weren't hanging out in the dick-graffitied play equipment in the park; they were all over the world and came together on Netphoria – a group of pretty rudimentary online messageboards dedicated to the band.
:rofl: Are those people still around?

I vaguely remember Buggle. He had a couple of Welsh friends on here and they would get called "Welshtards." And, yes, some people thought it was all one person.

There were actually lots of net-relationships going on across Netphoria, and no one was really judged, Mike reckons. Except maybe Mr Rhinoceros. “I think Mr Rhino had something going with a girl there for about a week and then when she broke up with him he posted lots of sad song lyrics. He received no sympathy whatsoever,” says Mike. Mr Rhinoceros, an American, was a divisive figure. I imagined him as an overweight, sweaty and sour young man living in his parent's basement, a depiction he roundly revelled in and refused to apologise for. “Do you remember when Mr Rhino 'left' Netphoria and came back after less than a week, and told everyone all about what he'd been doing? He'd gone to a coffee shop and had all sorts of brave adventures,” Mike says.

for real though are there any fan-run message boards for a band that are older than this one right here still in operation?

maybe some dead-related stuff?

For whatever it's worth I was a regular poster here until like 2000 when I stopped really giving a shit.

I'd imagine the Beach Boys' Smiley Smile boards are close. Either that or their web designer is stuck in 1995. Technically Hipinion has been around since like 2000 if you i n c l u d e the Pitchfork message boards. Ateaseweb has been around for a while as well. But yeah, this has got to be close to the oldest "active" message board.

I remember Zoe. I thought she was cute (but I was probably too old to admit it). I once creepily listened in on her and those australian guys having a voice chat (well they knew i was there). Someone played guitar. Possibly Mike. I think she was known as Capulet. Kind of an hilarious article.

"Mr Rhino? Ya, he was a pathetic dickhead. I kinda wrote this "article" just to troll him truth be told. Not that I REALLY give a shit if you couldn't tell already by the way i'm casually drinking wine and having a smoke while nonchalantly sitting on someone's floor.... But yeah fuck that guy though."

smashingjj 10-04-2014 09:44 AM
what a bitch!

Elijah Moon 10-04-2014 09:56 AM
Oh, Capulet, yeah. I recall the screen name and I do think I vaguely thought she was cute. I only really talked to a few boarders off the site, though, and was terrible at linking names with posts for the most part.

What did EB post and delete? What did I miss this time?

The exploding boy 10-04-2014 02:47 PM
nothing much. they were just pointless posts after i fixed that other one.

The exploding boy 10-04-2014 02:48 PM
One could argue if i'm gonna go ahead and delete all my pointless posts i might as well delete the other 1593

some poster by name wh0re nun or something like that added me on icq back in the day. i think she may have sent me an unsolicited suggestive photo or two as well.



i just found that photo in an old backup folder of random shit. i found the file that i shrunk down to make my sig, too. it says it was last modified november 1st, 2001, so chances are I've been using it since that day.

Do you think Eve's baby is fine?

I was tricked by someone (i don't remember who) at the UC show to take a spot much further from the stage than the ticket i'd bought (read, i was a pussy and said sure why not and exchanged the ticket even if it wasn't to my advantage, which looking back didn't matter since the sound was ass everywhere i'm sure) and i ended up next to Eve. At some point during the show she hugged me out of nowhere (i really didn't know her well). I didn't know what to do so i didn't hug back, just stood there awkwardly. Possibly making it the only time shes ever touched a man and got no reaction. i'm pretty sure she would have done the whole board given the chance.
