Hey everyone,
We wanted to give you advance notice of an important change coming to the Forum.
Effective November 4, 2025, we will be locking and archiving all posts on this forum and transitioning to Discord!* We hope you will stay a vibrant part of this community as we make the move.
What This Means:
- All existing posts will remain viewable but will be locked and archived after November 4th
- Discord server details will be shared soon, with you having first access - check back here on November 4th
- This isn’t the end of all of the conversations you know and love, just a fresh coat of paint
Change is never easy, but we really believe this transition will enhance everyone’s experience and usher in a new generation of music lovers to the conversation. Thank you for being part of this community, and we look forward to seeing you on Discord!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to a moderator or via email at discord@930.com
*no relation to the beloved DC record label or Fugazi (but wouldn’t that have been cool?!?)
UPDATE 11/4/25
Hey again,
Today is the day! As of now, ALL POSTS ON THIS FORUM ARE LOCKED AND ARCHIVED. We wanted to give you all a few more hours this morning to use it before we said goodbye. Thank you for making this house a home!
If you’d like to join Discord or access the archive of the forum you can use this link: https://www.930.com/discord/ (https://www.930.com/discord/)
Anybody who joins the Discord before the server goes public on the 11th will get a unique title we are only giving to forum users making the move! This will give you a separate header in the user list, a separate username color from other users, and will stay with you as long as you are a member.
For any forum users who join after the 11th, please email discord@930.com with your forum and Discord usernames and we will change it!
Like we said, we know this change isn’t an easy one, and we appreciate you all for how much time, effort, and love you have put into this community. Hopefully this is far from the end of that.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to a moderator, open a ticket on Discord, or reach out via email at discord@930.com
We are excited to see you on Discord!

Oh wow…my floor is rocked….
I am keeping my jacket!
-
So all our comment counts will be reset to 0?
-
Then I quit at 29,999 posts because I shouldn’t be the dude to cross that rubicon.
Guys, I've been hinting at this for over a year and a half. I always drop tea leaves.
-
God I feel like we need a goodbye party or something
-
good night sweet prince.
It's probably time.
-
Silver lining: there are polls on discord!
-
Who is this 930 admin that thinks they can come in here and make their first post the worst news of 2025 since walky leaving the forum?
-

Discord Cupcakes for all.
-
Hmm, I just don't know what to say
I kind feel like this forum has a vinyl feel too it and discord just seems like a CD, or worse, streaming
I guess that guy won't be migrated as an admin
-
Pour one out at Wednesday.
-
I'll create a google meet for 11/3 at 3pm so we can all share heart felt stories to put this place to rest.

You may be onto something here. Is it Walky exacting his final revenge??
-
I more like the idea of Walky coming back from exile (again) and finding no forum

all i'm going to say is that Qobuz runs a really nice forum on Cicrle.so , and there is app

But do they potato?
-
yeah, what exactly is the potato content on discord, seems like they are anti-spud
-
I think it’s a necessary change but it’s definitely bittersweet.
I think I sounded out half the regular boardies about how we could spur more traffic and we just didn’t have any ideas.
-
Have we tried nudes?

What do you think all that “spam” was???

So I think it is the admin's responsibility here to look at the top 20 threads, and just rebuild them from day 1
this has such a New Coke vibe

Completely agree, but I think there needs to be a quality dimension, and a recency consideration.
-
Agree. We need to emphasize quality like the integers thread and the potato thread.

If only there was some sort of user curated Hall of Fame they could work off of!
Oh god, all the links in that are gonna be broken, huh? Shit.

Are we going to have to form a boycott protest over this!
I don't know if they can withstand 6 people not going for about 1 week
I'm going on a CD strike, I refuse to play a CD again until we get the forum back
who am I kidding, I haven't played a CD since the Aughts

Maybe it’s time to unionize?

What do we want: The 9:30 Forum!
When do we want it: Forever!
-
I mean, I’m totally fine with Discord. I don’t think it’s going to lead to a bunch of new people joining IF the core people migrate over and we continue to be insular and unfriendly, but forum or Discord is all the same to me.

I know that...I'm just being dramatic
although we will lose the prestige of the high post count and some of these great threads
-
Prestige of high post count??? You have got to be fucking kidding me!
-
Yeah, that's a bullshit metric. Let's think of the true prestige, folks: Registration Date

my original FWB card was 422, but the card was made so cheap they couldn't scan it any more as the QR code was f'ed
I asked for a new card, but they couldn't retain my original number (then they went to the wallet option like a few weeks later of course)

This man’s life work is apparently futilely chasing a dude named Julian, Hyperpop SLUTFUCK. He’s suffered enough — we don’t need to make fun of him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damn dude…it’s been blow after blow for you….
-
After further review... I think this is the end.
We have MAX 10 regular posters (members who post at least once a day), maybe 20 lurkers (people you see at the bottom as online but maybe never post or post once in a blue moon), and then an unknown amount of true lurkers without accounts.
Certain posters here are still learning how to post pictures on this forum and a new platform (especially discord) seems way overkill for this place. We will probably lose up to 40% of the 10 regular posters.
At any rate, it was a fun 20+ years. Take care, fam.
-
I think the point of the new forum is to expand the number of users by making it more user friendly…How they plan to achieve this I do not know….

How is this not user friendly? I mean... there's been the same lot of folks on here really for the past 15 years with zero valuable new additions. Now, we do know that most of that is due to space and jules, but still, you'd think someone would stick around.

This forum uses a very old template. It’s the forum equivalent of a TRS-80 personal computer.
If you want to be optimistic think of it as a refresh.

. It’s the forum equivalent of a TRS-80 personal computer.
ouch, the forum brain can see this and I'm sure it hurt
-
So…now that the shock has worn off….this new purported admin….what are their credentials? Who is this person? Ideally I would like to see a cv with a focus on prior experience in board transitions and maybe a headshot if it’s not too much to ask
Has this person interned with Eddie or Kosmo? Will this individual remain with the new forum or pull a ticketflyamy?

Im trying to keep my job and my personal pursuits separate, hence the two accounts. Let’s not make a big deal about it.
-
forum or Discord is all the same to me.
i just can't get into discord. i use it when i have to, but there is something about it that doesn't work for me. IMO the move to discord is a major downgrade.

i like better the vinyl comparison: it's old, it's inferior, but it's comfortable and it makes you feel special (not that there is any reason it should).

rumor has it that the new admin is evilsanta

Oh boy now am worried
-
Gotta get a lot of posting in today

OMG!!!!! Say it ain’t so!!!! I’m on discord too! Will miss this format. So 1999. Thanks for all the info and support and friendship over the years. Love how we all take care of each other here.

Hey….the trash 80 was my first computer and I was a Zork and Xenos expert

heya k8t! long time no long time... if you're the last one here, please turn off the lights on your way out...
-
We’re still alive!!!

Guess this proves something I've always believed in my heart of hearts....I WILL NEVER DIE

In case you all missed it the original post has been updated!
