Why The Cellar?

Years ago, during the P2P feeding frenzy, I migrated from Napster to AudioGalaxy, a community-based filetrading site with private groups and public message boards where people could discuss their musical interests. After some time I found that the General Discussion board on AG (Audiogalaxy) was a wacky community in and of itself, and in fact this board (and many smaller peripheral boards) survived and thrived for years and years after the RIAA shut filetrading down at AG. Those crazy AG people wouldn't go away, we were now a family! Recently the boards at AG locked up due to lack of maintenance (we're not really sure why the owner even keeps the site going at all) and I was given a link to this place, to help fill the daily void of eight hours. Subsequently the board is back up, but many have migrated to AG clone sites or other boards such as this one.
