Exactly 1 Year (BTF Forum)

Just like to start off with a big thank you to all the people who have been with us from day 1. Also a big thank you to the people who have left comments thanking us for all of our uploads and the people who left feedback and made conversation with others (it does take up a lot of our time and when nobody even says anything, we feel *is it really worth our time and effort?*, so the comments give us the initiative to carry on) thank you.

Now after a year of uploading we have decided to change a little. We are going to open a forum. It’s kind of a trial, cause if it sucks, then why keep it open. If it works well though, it should be pretty cool.

The main blog will still be here, so people who don’t want to join the forum (or we don’t let join the forum) can still visit the blog …though there won’t be as many albums shared on the blog as there usually is, so people will miss out by not joining the forum. Requests in the Cbox will most likely not be filled on the blog.

Bust The Facts 2 will be no more. This is due to not enough activity within the comments, most people think fuck leaving a comment he will upload another 12inch tomorrow ...sorry to say that’s not the story. That won’t really make a difference to you, if you join the forum.

The reason for our change is because we feel there are too many blogs and all these blogs are becoming similar in all ways. Each blog has at least 1, 2 or 3 people who help upload files, but with a forum, everyone can join in and share their time uploading as well as the main uploaders. Also, blogs are more for people that talk, aren’t they? Check out WYDU, When They Reminisce..., and the others. You will enjoy them. You probably already know that though. Another reason, is so we can get rid of anonymous people. I've said it from the beginning, I fuckin' hate the anonymous comments.

The forum is kind of a privilege for the bloggers and people who left comments. So, when you register, sign up with the name you left comments with. As of now, the forum contains everything that this blog contains, even including dead links.

Also, please give us time to activate your accounts. We do have lives and we are not sitting at our computers at all times. We will check it every hour or maybe a little longer.

Don’t worry though; Bust The Facts will still be here.

I hope there is a miami bass section & an early electro/breakdance section. I'll contribute to those. Happy Anniversary & thank you for your vision of bringing it back. Your combined collections go quite deep....

Thanks for all the time you spend on this blog, and hopefully the creation of the forum will alleviate some of your work load. I personally am guilty of downloading and not always commenting, sorry about that. I look forward to joining the forum and contributing.

Fair enough im not a registered blogger or don't have a blog .
I've downloaded a handful of albums from here but have always left comments.
Big respect for the effort and putting up some lost gems but even i sometimes do wonder if it is fair or even right putting up whole albums that just been re-issed or even gems that might have been due for a re-issue and some lesser knowns get a few bits of cash through compilation releases.

Hola! nos vemos entonces en el Foro, lo que sin duda (de acuerdo a lo que entendí mientras leía y traducía al mismo tiempo) despertará y demostrará quienes son realmente los que apoyan y los que andan de paso... igual me sentí un poco identificado con eso de "qué cresta cuesta agradecer, si estan facil decir thanks"... pasa en todos lados...

Bueno "Busters", nos vemos y sigan padelante, que como les he dicho antes, Uds han ayudado a encontrar el lugar que perdí en el universo.

You guys are both really amazing. Even if I didn't download some of the things you had I still would just enjoy remembering the days when those albums were all that played for awhile. Can't thank you guys enough for what you've put up. No matter where you go in the blogosphere it always ends up that you guys are mentioned as one of the top blogs. No surprise why. Look forward to the forum. I also just started something up, hopefully a little different than many. I will make sure to add some radio shows to the forum.

Coming from an old-school hip-hop enthusiast in NYC...KEEP BUSTIN' THE FACTS!!! :)

Mr. Shyloc 9/11/2007 04:36:00 AM  

Yeah thanks. I'm also there from day one but I was anonymous until a few weeks ago.
I check the blog trough my RSS agregator.

The idea of a forum sounds pretty cool: more communotary than a blog.

How can we join?

Linger 3/10/2008 02:17:00 PM  

Hey thanks for all the uploads and links you have posted. This is a great site you got goin. I was just wondering when I would be able to join the forums you have going on .
