Official Pure Stench Thread (Interviews, Reviews, Art.)

[RyanWreck]

Hey guys, the forums did indeed die I am sorry to say. An immediate family member passed away after being in a coma for too long this past spring so the last thing on my mind was music and the forums. I regret that, and sincerely hope that I didn't cause any problems with people who were using the forums specifically for exchanging/trading/selling. Hindsight tells me I should have simply handed the board off to Vragh but I didn't think about it at the time. A shame since the entirety of the forums is purged and backups only have like a 30 day grace period after a missed payment before being wiped.

In any case, HESalvo is still up (I am aware that it not much of a consolation) but I am planning on becoming involved with my interviews again and will be posting here regularly. I missed out on some good stuff it looks like that I need to catch up with.

Sorry about the mess.

I was secretly hoping that he was actually an undercover FBI agent attempting to go deep in the underground noise/BM scene to uncover a hidden pedophile ring, hardcrush community, racist/terrorist organisation or some other highly illegal going-ons that this music was really a front for, hence the setting up of his own forum, the interview blog and the numerous references he made to hacking, the deep web, dubious porn etc. I figured that after a few years of potential honey trapping that he finally realised that we're all just a bunch of fantasists and he'd been told to direct his operation elsewhere and disappear without any further communication. Well, the thought amused me at least...

I wonder if that has ever actually occurred with anyone here? Well, not the whole FBI thing, but someone being monitored simply because of being involved with stuff that may come across as extremely fringe and with dubious, problematic legalities.

I live in the same town as Ryan, have some mutual friends. It's my assumption he's laying low or dealing with "health problems." Would have liked to use that forum for advertisements, haha.

My "health problems" (opiate addiction is what I assume you were referring to?) is non-existent right now, I got clean a quite a while ago but people, especially around here, tend to not spotlight any thing unless it's negative. And my grapevine does precede me.

Is our mutual acquaintance a female perhaps?

frankly Mr wreck, reality trumps this online circus over and again, so no need to apologise for anything.
family trumps all in this nihilistic world.
by the way, if you are a secret FBI agent, then I better confess to innumerable perversions.

Nice. Thanks to whoever started that.

I emailed the old forum host about getting the database backups. I was reading in their support forums that the threads themselves are not purged from the database for deleted nodes, it may not be full forums but getting all the threads back would be great.

Anyone know who runs those new forums?
