I also suggest splitting Post Metal and Sludge into separate genres. They are not similar enough, in my opinion, and in the opinion of similar sites, to be included under one banner.

I second that suggestion. Plus, I second this guy's proposal; he knows his metal. I would recommend myself for a position, but I'm probably not qualified to be in a collab position on a metal site, haha. You guys can take me though if you don't have enough qualified volunteers. Can't see that happening though.

I've been digging into more metalcore recently, so I wouldn't mind taking that collab position if no one else has claimed it yet. Although in reality I would gladly accept any position and/or be willing to provide any help necessary.

I am much more familiar with the glam metal side of Whitesnake, but I'll move them to Traditional HM as you suggested. I'll have to check out their ealier discography as well. |

Most Americans are only familiar with Whitesnake's glam metal period, but I am European, and got to know them when they played blues-influenced hard rock in pure British tradition. David Coverdale wanted to break on the US market at all costs, so he fired most of the band, got younger, more flamboyant players on board, and managed in his intent... nearly destroying his voice in the process.

Looking over the pages, I don't see anything wrong. What was the problem?

Cool! I see I'm listed on the general team, and think that type of activity would be the best way I can contribute to this site. However, I must warn you that I will be extremely busy within the next 2-3 weeks with my final exams for university approaching and a Degree Project presentation and report to finish. The good news is that pretty much for a month after that, I've got tons of free time. I hope this isn't a huge problem as I would still love to contribute here.

Woo, sounds interesting, I'll get on to asap. (I've got a fair bit of work at the moment, but I'll try)
Also, I wouldn't mind taking on work with Post/Sludge teams, as that is an real area of interest for me.

Sorry for not chiming in earlier, but I just got back from work, and was busy with other things. First of all, thanks to M@x and Philippe for putting their trust in me as an Admin - I'll try to do my best to keep this place a pleasant, smoothly working environment, and not to be too heavy-handed with trolls and such  . I really can't wait to start this new adventure !

Great - looks like I can pop in and out when I have a few minutes to spare and do some minor tweaking here and there. Adding mp3's, updating covers, stuff like that. Will probably be writing some bio's and helping out with artist additions as time goes on as well. I may help out a bit with trad HM and thrash too - time will tell. I do have my limitations though, and my main priorities will lie elsewhere, at least for the time being.
A hell of a lot of work to be done here guys and gals. If any of you know workaholics with a metal heart or soul, bring them in :-.)

^ as I like to say.. and have said many times... the teams are not made of experts.... just people that enjoy and love the music and want to do something for the site and for themselves. Quickest way to become an expert... is not simply to listen to what you personally enjoy... but have to spend hours listening to stuff that personally bores the hell out of you... yet your 'job' requires you to look past your own personal likes and dislikes. A sense of objectivity that is sorely lacking on internet music forums.

I have a somewhat limited knowledge of the genre, but I believe enough to help out in the gothic metal section of the site. I will gladly help with the the doom metal or black metal subgenres too.
UMUR, if you need any immediate help with anything, I'll do what I can 
This is exciting guys! A new place to start fresh and bring in new ideas and people!

congrats to everyone!!!!!  For the SC newbies.... it is a hell of a lot of work... but a ton of fun... especially after you get teams put together. You learn just as much as you 'educate'

There's still a little typo, though it doesn't matter a thing! ;-D There's certainly more important stuff to take care of, haha. I'm itching a bit too, hope the site gets back up soon!
