    Your friendly little forum bot. Staff Member

    This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

    Today marks the official fourth anniversary of launching this website.

    Another year, and wow, are we in the middle of some weird shit right now. I just wanted to take a brief moment to thank everyone for visiting this website every single day and, specifically, to everyone that helps support us. With all the uncertainty in the world right now, turning to the one constant I’ve always had, working on this website and listening to good music, has been comforting. I’m currently in the middle of a redesign of the entire homepage, and I hope to have that completed within the next few months. I’ve tried to turn all of this “at home time” into something productive, and I’m excited to share the results with everyone in the near future. I’ve been documenting some of the process in my weekly newsletter.

    I hope everyone is staying safe out there.

    Some of the stats from the past year:

    • 3,467 new articles posted on the main site. (16,553 total)
    • 530,082 words were published last year. (2,405,320 total)
    • 948,794 new forum posts were made. (3,648,860 total)

    Be kind; everyone is on their own journey.

    This community keeps me sane, makes me feel worth (in a healthy way) and allows me to continue having the best taste in music among everyone i know :).

    Four years?!?! Holy crap!!! Where did the time go? Very glad I migrated over here from AP. It’s been a great place to learn and grow in both music and social and political issues. This place has been instrumental in me discovering great artists and shedding some of the flawed ideas I had grown up with. It’s so awesome this site can do some many things at once! Thanks for all of that!

    Thank you so much for all you do, Jason. I remember being in high school and discovering AbsolutePunk and it’s amazing to think of the impact your community has had on my life (and the lives of so many others) over the past 10+ years.

    Happy 4th Chorus - here’s to many more!

    I've Made A Huge Mistake

    Am I the only one that thought it was an April Fools joke 4 years ago when I saw AP.net was rebranded?

    Congrats and cheers to many more!

    Happy to support with a small monthly donation to keep things moving along. I feel about Chorus like I do about Spotify; the price tag is nothing compared to the value it brings to me.

    @Jason Tate thank you for keeping this site going! Cancelled my Disney + for lack of good new content, but I am never cancelling my annual subscription here, cause that is one thing this site never lacks!
