I got here from the strokes community. It was a rabbithole of following indie music haunts and I ended up here.

I distinctly remember looking up the bands on brenecia's last.fm

ONTD was wild back then. The mods threw down as much as anyone

Three words: Kristmas. In. July.

This doesn’t quite answer the question, bc I don’t know if I have an answer lmao, but I think my absolute first memory of ONTD was that Heath Ledger death post. I don’t think I was even a member yet.

mine too! i think i must have been lurking around a bit before that but that is the first post i remember

This is also semi off topic from what you're saying but back then msn was still a thing and I specifically remember my friend asking for my number so she could call me to tell me he died. 😭

I was definitely a member by then (old account) but I don't think I ever really posted much. That was my sophomore year of college and I think I found this place the year before?

I was here for IJAF and was almost late for class because I couldn't stop refreshing. Great day.

I think for me it was the live viewing posts for awards shows. It was fun to have a community of people to talk to about the antics and the outfits.

I honestly don’t remember how I found ONTD though.
