The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Has anyone tried this website?  Basically, it's meant to make a personal radio station based on the song/artist you type in.

Note that if you go free registration, you will get audio ads every so often. (Only by upgrading can you get rid of them, which will cost you $36 a year.)

Now, I tested with one of my most favorite, Backstreet Boys, and I got a number of songs I liked and ones I didn't like.  Luckily, you can set it up and so that you can have the ones you don't like not show up.  So it's not all that bad.

Go ahead.  Try it.  I think you'll be surprised. :)

I use it at times. It's a pretty neat way to listen to other people you never heard before. :)

*Hears "Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen*

Nice! :)

*Hears "That Old Time Rock & Roll"*

Neat! :D

*Hears the Ghostbusters Theme Song*

WTF!?  They have this too!? :o

Awesome! :^.^:

Seriously, out of the thousands of songs, I never would've guessed Pandora to have that one. :)

Pandora is a good service if you like randomness to your music based on a certain style or genre.  Pandora is not a good service if you want to hear a particular song (it won't play that song simply because you requested it).  I  haven't used it in a bit, but its been very reliable at picking songs with similar musical qualities. :)
