Mercuryserver origins

[mylexicon]

ahh.. the audiogalaxy days.. fun times...

it sure was nice that the kissfm mixes showed up in my download dir..

but damn, i was a member in this 'dark progressive house' group... and man oh man, some ho kept sending the crappiest tracks ever. deleted 4-8 songs a day.. worst one i got was this crazy oompa loompa song remix.. damn was it scary.

That was part of the greatness....everyday you would get some clown
who would send you hilarious stuff.

I feel so cheated

You really were my man. AG was so far above and beyond all other audio
file sharing programs. You could find books on tape, presidential speeches,
audio samples, dj tools, and every electronic tune ever. But fear not, its
greatness will be surpassed some day.....history has shown us it is only a matter of time.

Yeah I was a member of the Kiss FM group on audiogalaxy. I just missed the memo when mercury server was started...so it took me awhile to find it

[brakada]

Ah yes, Audiogalaxy... RIP :cry:

Well, I wasn't a huge prog fan back then, but still I think it was the best music exchange programme there ever was...

So now, can someone get back to the history of MS I... :wink:

The first post i wrote about the Kiss FM group was the first step. The details
about the ideas that started [ms] will have to be answered by admin.

yeah i used to be on audiogalaxy back in the day.
but then i was downloading mostly rap
ow and i was into acid too, so i've got alot of acid from there.
i didn't know any artist tho, so i just typed in acid and went from there
Never joined any groups, didn't think that would be intresting at the time
<--dumbass

but about mercuryserver it was i believe?
well i've 'only' been on MS for 1.5 years or so but mercuryserver.com was a domain-name from somebody -e- knew that they could use.
(not 100% sure on this,but i'm sure many will be able to give you the full story)
and the logo? well that's a buckyball i believe, but what that has to do with MS or who came up with it? youre guess is as good as mine, but i would love to find out!

blame encryption for the whole thing, he's the genius behind MS, of course with a lot of help by the great mods in here, like shepie and algy and many others.. i once had something to do with all of this, but all i did was drinking and scratching my ass while posting stupid answers.. first was the group on audiogalaxy called kiss fm which i opened and had great succes, but when AG closed encryption came up with the idea of having a place to continue with the tradition of bringing good music to people who enjoyed it, and so MS came to life..

as once a wise man said..

"If we don't change, we don't progress. And we are, after all, a progressive nation... "

Wow, I finally have a better understanding of how this community came together. Never used the groups thing on audiogalaxy but I wish I would have!
