Welcome to The 'Hell!

Hi everyone, Brad here. Welcome to The 'Hell's new blog! First, I'd like to give a bit of history about our fine little community:


It all started on a board way back in the day when a board called Anti-MTV was started. The board eventually expanded to include reviews and opinion pieces. Don't look for it now, it's not there anymore. It is significant, however, in that some of our oldest members came from that site, including Jose, better known as Megafury. When the site closed down, Jose moved on and founded the website known as MTVHell. Some members went with him, which prompted him to attach a forum to that site. MTVHell soon grew in its own right, however, many people contributing album reviews, opinion pieces, drawings, music and anything else, which attracted many new members, including the person writing this post, and most of the contributors to this blog. However, Megafury quickly grew tired of footing the bill for the site on his own (can you blame him?), and since no one else had any money, MTVHell closed its doors in 2006. The site, however, being hosted on a free message board service, survived, and the MTVHell community continued to thrive, although it rarely saw any new members. Some of us still had something to say, however, and since we still don't have any money, we decided to start a blog to express our opinions. However, MTVHell seemed cliche and juvenile at this point, and MTV is no longer a source of music in the first place, which left us in a conundrum as to what to name ourselves. We decided on "The 'Hell," in order to preserve a piece of our history while still moving forward. The forum still lives, and anyone is welcome to come by and have a chat. It's at http://mtvhell.myfastforum.org, and has the distinction of being one of the only forums on the internet that is still active and is not being flooded with spambots. Stop by and say hi!
