I have no idea who is going to read this because I don't know how many
people from the original group still subscribe to this. Well I am a
huge relatively young DMB fan. I have been following the band for
about 6 years (soph. yr of H.S.) and my love grows ever year. I see
them anywhere from 3-6 times a year, 6 this year (3 Spring and 3
Summer). I rarely post on the forums I have accounts with
WeeklyDaveSpeak and AntsMarching. I like to log-in and read the post
and stay as up to date as possible. Yes I am a twitter-er and facebook-
er haha, and follow the band through that too.

Anyways, sorry I tend to go on rants here and there and forget why I
started to talk in the first place...haha...

What happened with this group? What was the history behind it and why
the sudden drop? Be cool to get something going and started that isn't
linked to one of the major forums and kind of let everyone do their
own thing too.

Hope to get some responses from anyone and hopefully responses from
the regulars.

This place used to be pretty lively, but I guess everyone sort of
moved on for their own reasons. There was a bit of a lull in DMB's
career when the Lillywhite Sessions were scrapped and Everyday was
released in its place. A lot of people simply moved on in their own
personal lives, something that happens on all forums, however this
isn't a web forum (even if you're reading it on Google Groups). It's
usenet, an old message board system that has been pushed aside by
flashy web forums with their colors and emoticons and whatnot. (I'm
not complaining, just saying that they're more appealing for users to
visit.) It was never super simple to connect to usenet and find this
group, so new users have understandable found gone to the web forums
instead.

You can certainly look back through this group for a bit of history --
what people were saying at different points in DMB's career, for
example. Look up the release dates for their albums, then look at the
posts around that time if you want to see what life was like when
Before These Crowded Streets first came out and before Everyday was
dumped upon us.

I'll wait until Salerno joins in to make my comment.

And Zoop, too.

Yeah, and I'd venture to say that for many of us that time period
corresponded with graduating from college (or maybe high school for some
of us) and we just naturally moved on to a situation that didn't really
allow us to participate as much as we'd like to. But you probably hit
the big reason, there was just an inherent lull in their music after
BTCS and they never really seem to recover from it, although I hear the
new album is supposedly a return to form.
