Was just having a chat to a friend about how we came across our beloved ITM :). There are so many people out there (who lurk anyway), that I haven't been out one weekend in a while where I havent met someone who doesn't visit. HI NICK from Subbies BTW, NICE TO MEET YOU, look out for your mates on video soon :).

Geeze, anyway, back to the point, I remember discovering ITM back in March or April 2000 whilst doing a search engine on Sublime (Altavista maybe) then came across ITM and never look back :).

Where did everyone else find it?

Used to work in Pyrmont and was walking past Quarrymans Hotel on Harris Street. They had a Digweed quote on the board out the front about not waving his hands in the air whilst mixing, followed by the address of ITM, the rest is history.

About a year ago one of my friends sent me a link to the party photos section where there was a messy shot of another friend. Used to check out the reviews and photos from there on about once a week or during lunch.

Discovered forum addiction in about October last year and have been posting pretty regularly ever since. Posted under a few pseudonyms early on depending on content, have been operating as threelittlepigs since January. :)

knew andre from the dark old days and saw his original idea for inthemix (place for no-name dj's to post and critique mixes) get up, then down, then get replaced by something pretty similar to what it is now. moved to perth in novmeber 99 and submitted a few items (check the <i>really</i> old event reviews). gave up for a while because figured no one in perth eveer visited the damn site anyway, then really started to pick things up in about september or so of last year. has been very slowly growing inthe west since.

I can't remember.

I know I nose dived into the forums like a budgie breakin loose and I think it might have been around March or April last year.

In those days....

fuckn same here Doc!! I think; memory aint what it used to be. I was scrolling through this and attempting to remember what drew me to this site, and was concluding that it must have been my egotistical attraction to see what my 15 minutes of fame would look like:p

I remember when ITM was DJ Drey's homepage with mp3's and links to jelly bean sites (or something of the like).

Since posting message #2 in the forum, I have been a contributor and user of the site from its original inception.

discovering itm was the worst thing that ever happened to me... almost time to be shipped away on a bus with an unknown destination to escape its clench on my soul...

04-Aug-02, 09:19am
despite this being my first post i have actually been lurking for quite some time. i work at an internet lounge so i have ITM on tap for around 8 hours a day....i should really cut back.

i *think* i discovered ITM when searching for Brisbane event listings on Google. maybe.

i was, like so many, a hard working member of the telecommunications community, always eager to help out my colleagues with any task small or large.

then one day my hapless search engine chanced upon a site which has proved my undoing.

the site was ITM (http://www.inthemix.com.au).

since then my work (and play) hours have been viciously truncated by this dastardly (and quite often foul) beast.

my friends report severly reduced social abilities, glazed eyes and poor apetite... the only thing that seems to be improving is my typing speed.

someone help me.

I was at e55 in Melbourne about 4 or 5 months ago and my mate works behind the bar so my other mate was using the bar computer. I saw what he looking at and I was hooked...

04-Aug-02, 01:14pm
some random boy at a club told me about it.

lurked a couple of times, then signed up and dived into chat, then the forums.

funnily enough, i never saw him on here..

Optimus Rhyme was always on MrBlunt.com forums and I always felt a little left out not being involved and then once I discovered that he was on yet another forum AND that some of my other friends were on there too I wasnt going to be left out!!!! I woke up early one day while Optimus slept and hopped on his comp and went to ITM and registered! Goddamit I wanted to be cool too! -


little did I know..... :lol:

Like all you other hard workers out there (not) I worked at the time for a Government agency and spent many boring hours while my boss was out on the net. Always posting and sussing out the Heaven II Nightclub site here in SA saw the link ( the win free stuff part caught my attention) and from ever since then I have become addicted...

And have made alot of my mates too addicted to itm.. beats doing real work, and it looks as though you are busy at the computer... an all round goer

I think I found it from a reference to it on thescene.com.au in about March 2000.

I didn't used to like it as much as thescene, because it didn't seem to be focused on any cities other than Sydney. But either my horizons have broadened or ITM has developed, or thescene has deteriorated (or both) because now my browser is open on ITM practically all day.

04-Aug-02, 09:53pm
I think smurph or k-rad told me about it sometime mid last year..
surfed the forums for quite awhile before i actually had the urge to say something, then decided to register..

glad, you've transfered to the dark side (i.e the cooler website).
thescene.com.au smells like poo poo.

oh yeah, and ITM came to me in a dream ...

I found inthemix when surfing around pointlessly at work, around January 2001 but lurked mainly for a long time. Now I can't live without it !

Lambretta
05-Aug-02, 01:19pm
I really don't remember exactly.
It was a time when I was going clubbing and I don't remember much. :?

I think a mate put me on to it at work.

Mrs Lamb saw me checking the site out and advised me to contact ITM about reporting, so I did.

That was in October 2001.

i, like princess01, used 2 b a 'thescene' poster but got really pissed-off with all the bullshit on it and the stupid farks that ran it.

then, dermalephonkman introduced me 2 some itmers at some party and they told me that itm also had a forums sections and as they say, 'the rest is history...'

05-Aug-02, 03:59pm
I also found ITM from the link drey posted on SPRACI. He also posted a link on bluelight. I read the site for ages before posting in the forums cause I was overseas at the time and didn't have anything to add about Sydney clubbing at the time. I used to post very occasionally about clubbing in London though :)

Some cokneyed guy called Gary told me. I forgot the address almost instantly. Then, about 2 months later, I was @ Icebox, totally out of my trumpet...... and then it hit me.

Yeeeeeesssssss! I do believe I will go there!

And go there I did.

"Gary, Gary. If you can 'ear me, get buck in the car now mate OK?"

05-Aug-02, 08:11pm
Similar story to the rest....somehow I got here and can't escape. (always wanted to know what its like to have an addiction). My g/f really hates you guys coz i spend so much time on here, I feel guilty but can't resist.

/ Homer style/ mmmmmmmmmm.....ITM.

I feel that I have neglected something when I miss a day of not visiting.....is there someone I can "confess" to when I do miss a day of not visiting.

"forgive me drey.......I have not visited ITM for 2 dayz this last week.....it was stupid of me I know but can you forgive me...??"
:lol:
I won't do it again I promise.;)

At least I don't what TV now...for that I am greatful.

The stickers work....

Found out about inthemix from a sticker on a guy at uni's folder... was interested checked it out and am now a full blown addict...

Actually it took me a while to even visit the forum (dont know why)

Has any one else noticed there really isnt much else to do on the internet... Like this and emails it... oh and mp3s
