GodzillaREMIX Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Back in the day .net used to be my "go-to", and if I'm not mistaken, the official fan page that had some interaction with the band. Looks like the page is still up but hasn't been updated since 2013. Anybody know what happened and why it's not longer getting new content?

Meliciraptor Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Was there any beef? Haha, I don't know the other GD fan site, since I kinda just joined the "fandom" and only know GDA/GDC. I'm just asking cause I'm running a fairly big Linkin Park fan site and I'm curious about other bands' fan communities. There are about 3 or 4 big LP fan sites including mine and back in the day there's always been beef about this or that. One day LP made us all "official ambassadors", mailed us all LP news beforehand, threw us together in a group chat and suddenly we all became buddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I used to love this site! I remember going to it when I was like 11 back in 97/98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PursuitOfEpicness Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I remember going to it and seeing how far behind it was compared to GDA, I mean it wasn't kept up with and honestly there's no fansite i know that is as advanced and kept up to date as this one. The other website I remember was geekstinkbreath.net and those had pretty funny games but again not really anything compared to GDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDInsaniac Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 GDA is the only site I've ever used, cause I know its the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyChunks Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Great site that the old school fans will remember well. Jason Holmes ran it. How the **** did the working stiff become so obsolete? Wonder what happened to him. Likely life got busy and he wasn't able to spend as much time to the site as he once had. And this happened around the Warning era...and then the next round of fans took the baton, a new and better site (GDA) took hold, and the rest was history. I love this site, but definitely appreciate greenday.net and everything about it during the earlier days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I suspected- life gets in the way sometimes...as you guys know it's a lot of work to run a site like this. Glad he still maintains the passion. He's an early days GD web legend.

Just remember spending lots of time on that site way back when and thought I'd ask... Hey, I remember trying to start a fansite while in college back many years ago (pre-GDA). I quickly learned it was a pain in the ass to manage and update properly and just let it fade away- it's probably still out there on the web somewhere (provided geocities still exists). A real testament to the dedication of the GDA team- this is not an easy thing to keep going and we're lucky to have them. GDA staff and mods- thank you!!!

Actually, I think I was probably more active on GSB for a while. It had a more active Mike specific thread and I do recall quite a bit of drama it stirred. They were a little more lax with rules and such so I think that helped them stick around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 The only thing I know about greenday.net is that someone called Brian Gray apparently from there once somehow pissed off the person who (at the time) owned the only good quality recording of DUI so much that he put the song out with "Brian Gray from greenday.net is a fucking dickhead" spoken over the intro and outro so that anyone who wanted a non-awful recording of the song would have to hear that every time they listened to it. Fun fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I don't know if I have it anywhere now, and no I never knew who owned it. @Todd you don't have that "Brian Gray from greenday.net is a fucking dickhead" version of DUI do you?
