hey i was wondering how tranceaddict came about
what started the idea? is this site ran by just swamper?
im just really curious because i am thinking of opening my very own site some day
i also wanted to say that i think its amazing that an idea to just start a web site turned into a world epedimic.People from all around the world use this site to get great info about our music as if we were in the industry ourselves

Well, all I know that a great deal of the people, back in the days of Napster, people saw the tranceaddict tag on some of the best trance tunes, and thats what brought many . At least thats how I got to find this site :-)

Swamper is the mastermind behind tranceaddict: he's the one who runs the whole thing. He started a couple of years ago (not sure): in the beginning, ta was just a place to download music without having to deal with those bloody porn pop-ups. It grew, it grew, kept growing, and turned into what it is today As simple as that

i believe the concept started in '99 or something... maybe the execution began in 2000? Swamper had a mock-link to how the site used to look in its frail beginnings up awhile back... maybe if you're lucky he'll repost it.

ehe. mee too

oh man the history of the forums is even greater than TA itself hehehe. *opens his TA black book*

Swamper started the site as a one page sharing site I believe and eventually went to the forums. There are many OLD SKOOL ta's on the forums that were around since the beginning or near the beginning. You had Mizzuno, Swamper (OF COURSE!), Linx, Me, Coup, Blik, Richierich, Sugarbean, Slylee, Redeye_, Tempestrip, Phaze, Infinity, JdDark, Mosh_Man, Wicked Red, Wicked Neo (and that pvd loving F00l! starfox) and a bunch of others that I'm probably forgetting. Now if Swamper had not found robotic hamsters to run his servers, there would be no ta. SO THANK THE ROBOTIC HAMSTERS PPL!

I found this site through a netwrok called TranceGate.
Not sure if any of you guys went to that site or not. It was the best trance link site. used to have loads of links on it. Hundereds of sites including TA. I think the site is down now.

I've been comming to tranceaddict for over two years now. I used to have another nick name but I didn't use it for like half a year and I forgot it.
