When I experienced my own personal hell directly related to the events that closed the original Evthreads, I swore to myself that I would never moderate an Evanescence forum again. I didn't even think I would continue posting on forums at all, and even considered giving up the internet altogether a few times. I thought I would be forever bitter and had forgotten the reason why I loved doing this in the first place. I want to thank dannycastillo for starting this forum and recreating the life that was Evthreads... and thus reminding me of all the good times and showing me what I would be missing if I had given it all up. Even though we lost some of the magic and members of the original Evthreads, we've created many new memories and friendships to go along with it, and I'm happy to be a apart of it. Thank you as well to the rest of the wonderful staff and members who keeps this place going. I know I don't post much anymore, but that doesn't mean that I don't read all the silliness that occurs and smile to myself! Here's to us! (here's to love, all the times that we- )

Wow... I'm actually getting a bit teary-eyed and I JUST started typing. But I remember losing our old home last year; I was online reading about the latest drama, I clicked to go to the next page in the thread I was browsing, and then it was gone. At that moment, I did freak out a little. With all that was going on, I knew that it couldn't be good, but I just figured that later on that day, everything would be solved and we'd get our forum back. But it wasn't. It was gone. It. Was. Gone. I cried pretty hard. I felt like a little lost kitten; I mean, I'd been a member since 2009, and I got used to being able to talk about Evanescence with people who actually understood why I loved this band so much because they did too. Logically, I thought I'd join EvBoard. But they never sent the magical e-mail to activate my account, so that didn't happen. So I just kept searching the Internet for more information concerning EvThreads, even though I pretty much knew it was gone forever. Eventually, I found a post on Tumblr talking about how there was a new EvThreads... Himmelslicht really sums up my feelings toward it when I first heard of it, and after I saw some familiar people: When I heard EvThreads was back at first I didn't believe. When I finally believed, I thought it would never be the same though. In my head it would be either boring or tasteless and I thought I would probably give it up after a while. But I found out that the same people I had met before were here, and that was the secret to have the same EvThreads I had seen before, minus the drama, thank God. And thank goodness I found this place, that I still searched the Internet for something, anything new related to the whereabouts of my favorite portion of the Internet. I can't thank dannycastillo and Osky enough for giving us a home, because I really love this place. Thank you everyone for being such nice, awesome people. The reason we all love EvThreads isn't limited to our love for Evanescence - we all love each other. I can't tell you how many times I've visited other forums and thought "oh my gosh, these people are so snappy." We're all really lucky to belong such a great community.

Wow, our new baby is one year old. It sounds so silly but I remember being almost devistated when we lost our old home. Like so many others, I sought refuge at EvBoard, but dispite the general kindness of the original members, I couldn't help but feel an air harshness surrounding that place. Of course, I can understand the feeling of invasion they no doubt endured. Yet it was rather unnerving knowing that this board that was originally created for Ev pretty much carried this hatred towards the band. It couldn't be more of a blessing to have a place of our own. One with such dedicated fans and such a tight-knit family. Thanks to Danny for creating this place and Osky and all our other mods for helping to maintain it. Thanks to those like Double A, along with darkflare, for build our amazing databases and having all the answers (Almost. You two are great detectives ) And thanks to all the members who make it so fun to come here everyday. I love you all!

Thank you guys! Thanks to Danny for that first message that came to me via twitter. Was it on Twitter? I don't even remember who told me about the new forum. It was such a mess and I was constantly switching between forums to find a new home for my Ev obsession. I like EB and it's a great place to make friends but it's not a fan community anymore so although ET Reborn looked completely empty and even a little scary with the default theme, I decided to stay. I'm glad I did because I finally had the chance to become friends with people I barely (if at all) knew on the old ET and also because I found something I never thought I'd find while simply sharing my love for a band - a soulmate (see squinky's post). P.S. I did go on chat last night and *surprise* I wasn't alone

Happy Bday Evthreads! Just want to say that though I wasn't a member of the old forum for to long until it got shut down, and even though I've been a fan of EV for so many years...I don't think I've ever been so blessed and honored to be apart of something so awesome like the Evthreads family! I've met so many great people I genuinely can call friends all sharing so much in common...and of course sharing Evanescece. Hope to share so many more memories here with you guys, and hopefully soon we'll get some new Evanescence album or touring news!! Hey we can dream.... lol.

Was it on Twitter? I don't even remember who told me about the new forum. Yes please. I don't know who retweeted it there but I remember that exactly this particular picture with a message from Danny appeared repeatedly in my timeline so I thought I would try to look at that proboards thingy I found something I never thought I'd find while simply sharing my love for a band - a soulmate (see squinky's post). What more can I say than congratulations to you both

I can't believe it has been a year since the rebirth of the board. Thanks to Danny for creating a new home for Ev fans and as well to everyone who has been keeping the board neat and tidy. Happy 1 Year Anniversary

Wow, this board really is a year old now? Tempus fugit! I haven't been active a lot recently (work for uni) but I still feel like this is my Evhome. Thanks Danny for creating this home, and all the other moderators for keeping this board alive and kicking

I have to say that over the years I've been a member of a number of messageboards/forums....and this one is by far the best. The previous Ev Threads was fantastic - the excitement and all the posts that were made when EV3 came out and the world tours were in progress - really made it come alive!
This reborn Ev Threads is also a fantastic place - big thanks to Danny/Osky/all the mods and people working in the background to make it happen, and the fun and safe place that it is. I stand and applaud you all - for the commitment/dedication/hard work that has been put in here.
In the past year this board has grown and evolved - and so have all the people here - new relationships / friends / old friends returning. These sorts of Boards are only as good as the people on them, keeping them alive - and I'm pleased as punch to be a member of the wonderful community that we have here!
Cheers to everybody, roll on the next year (and one year closer to the next Ev album!)

First of all, happy birthday to our forum! I want to thank the administrators for creating a new EvThreads that unites the Evfans worldwide. Through this forum, we can discuss all about Evanescence and the challenges they faced. We know that Evanescence faces big quarrels and as they face those big quarrels, we are there to help and support them as strong as we can. I want to thank the moderators for maintaining the rules and regulations of this forum. I also want to thank AeternusAmatorius for giving informations about the whole discography of Ev and correcting me if I told wrong infos about it. I never stop asking questions because I want to learn more about Ev. Last but not the least, I'd like to thank the members of this forum who mingle and share their experiences and opinions about the band and make this forum active as possible. Thank you guys for making the Evcommunity as a big family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVTHREADS!

^ Are they bullshit salad tacos? Amy would be proud! I've been a member of some form of Evthreads for almost two years, and I have to say, I wouldn't trade it (or its wonderful inhabitants) for the world. I've met some great people on here, and this just as a fan base in general is one of the strongest I've ever seen. It's almost hard to believe that a band could have brought so many people together. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this, and continue to contribute by running it. Happy birthday Evthreads!

Holy crap, it's already been a year?? How is that possible?! Man, time flies. I am so grateful to everyone who created this board and moderates it, and to all the members for keeping this community alive despite everything that's happened. It sounds kind of silly, but there would seriously be this little empty hole in my life if we hadn't rebuilt this place. I've been a member of the online Ev community since like January/February of 2003. That's over 10 years of my life! Crazy to think about. But I've seriously gone on whatever incarnation of the community existed at the time, almost every day for 10 years. I've never been as active a poster as some others, but I'm always checking in, seeing what's up in the Ev world, and reading the thoughts of other members. Over the years, I've tried to be part of forums for other bands, but it was never the same and never stuck. I've never felt as connected with any other fan community as I have with Ev's. I've never had a whole lot of friends in real life, so I've always loved having a place online to come to and talk freely with people who I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and opinions with. Reading through these posts here, it's so nice to know that everyone else feels such a strong connection to this community and is really passionate about keeping it alive. For a while, I had a fear that things would never be the same in the Ev community and that people would eventually lose interest in this board and it would fade away. But I feel really assured now that this place will be alive for many years to come.
