It was bound to happen.............

..........seems that the lovely people over at the "It's Psyche" forum have been effectively shut down.

Onlineguardian has banned " itspsych.forumotion.net " hosted on forumotion.com due to the violation of terms of services.

The possible deletion reasons are as following :

  • Violent or repulsive content
  • Hateful or abusive content
  • Defamatory content and / or affecting the integrity of a person
  • Sexual and/or pornographic content
  • Harmful and dangerous acts
  • Copyright infringement
  • Spam
  • Phishing and/ or malware website
  • Credit card fraud
  • Hacking
Guess this is what happens when you fire share on your forum. (Thanks R.I.A.A.) Granted, there were no actual files hosted to It's Psyche but there were plenty of links to download discs from such sites as Megaupload, ShareBee & RapidShare.

From what I saw it looked like a decent community........they were not particularly friendly........ but they were not downright mean either. They kinda just kept to themselves.............shared discs............& made the occasional comment or 2. They were not real descriptive about what was posted nor was there too much information or discussion about bands. Just discs........oodles & oodles of discs. From newer retro-psyche to the most obscure singles. Post after post after post of link after link after link. Pages & pages of links.......... Their selection of Progressive looked very cool as did whoever posted "English Psychedelia: A - Z." 26 - 1 hour discs starting w/ "A" & ending in "Z". Unfortunately no other info was given except Artist & Title. I wish I knew who posted these as I bet there would be a killer of a conversation to have about these............ I actually do not know some of the artists/groups on these! (Ego is alive & healthy obviously!)

In the long run will they be missed? Yes. Are there sites w/ the same things available? Some things..... but a lot of this was truly unique. Will they find a way to return to the land of forums? Probably............& the sooner the better.......... I need to post questions......... tons & tons of questions.............

  1. As I post my last blog I received a message from the owner of It's Psyche. Jon is the chaps name & he seems quite the friendly bloke. Going as far as extending a personal invitation to join in his "little Technicolor community any time you want. :)" Hopefully Jon will be able to continue his endeavors unhampered elsewhere.......... & if he does ......... I think I shall join in. Like I said...........it looked very cool....... maybe I can talk someone's ear off there......... who knows?
