The history of www.nzmusic.com

Why was this site created? When did it start? Who were it's founding members? How has the community changed since then (attitudes, language used, etc.)? How has the site developed? Can anyone tell me?

(Intended to be an "oral" history page, please feel free to add your comments as time passes.)

i remember a back in late 90's a site called uploadtv.com. 100% nz videos, that was great and what's better is what it has evolved into.

You can see (sort of, the images tend to go awol) what uploadtv used to look like at...

uploadtv became newzealandmusic.com (they grabbed the nzmusic.com URL a little later) sometime around June 2000. You can see the original look here...

ahh the old school look, I'd forgotten that. Don't think it was round long after I joined.
Heck I'm trying to remember how I found this site in the first place.

482 people and growing!!! thats only 18 months ago

the whole site still seems to work, i loved the original 10 icons

FWIW:

UploadTV = Version 1
New Zealand Music = Version 2
NZMusic.com = Version 3 (current)
Next: NZMusic.com = Version 4 (coming soon with history etc)

Can't believe all you fulla's remember that shit. I feel old now... ;)

dust you going to go icon taming for v4?
18 months ago there was 1 icon for every 48.2 people
now there is 1 icon for every 61.8 extrapolating the figures.... a half yearly growth rate of ~ 950 you / we will have 4700 members to share 55 icons
I know my figures will be more than bit off because communities grow experientially, and I have calculated linearly but .... we do need some new faces lol
