Based on how old Kerrick's account is, it looks like this forum has been around for a little over ten years, but if I'm not mistaken, there was a different site prior to this one, right? Anyone have any details? I'm curious to know how far back things go.

I joined in Oct 2005 and I know it was far older than that.

There are two eras:

Before Pethead (AKA The Dark Ages)

After Pethead (AKA The Promised Land)

Did we ever figure out who exactly did that? When it got hacked there was a picture of the anonymous logo, but that doesnt strike me as something they would do (if they wanted to make an anti-Religion message, wouldnt they go after a major church as opposed to a somewhat obscure message board?).

Didn't something similar happen to the Firestream Vault site around the same time period?

I remember thinking it was some wannabe edge-lord with a bone to pick. 

I can just picture some butthurt dork with too much time on their hands, sitting around in corpse-paint, hacking Christian metal sites because "muh Christian metal is a contradiction of terms" or some such nonsense LOL!

1-31-2012 based on the earliest "joined dates" filter in the members search function. Above is correct, there was a previous iteration that was hacked/killed. I don't remember when that started, nor whether I was a part of it at the begining or not (of course Artie would be the guy for all of that, but he hasn't shown much for several years now). I don't recall if it was in any way an "official" or associated board, but I belive (could be incorrect here) that the "original" CMR was seeded from posters from what was called the "Brutal Christian Music Message Board" (BCMMB), which I don't remember what happened to it or why we all migrated to CMR, but maybe somebody does. To me at least, that BMCCB was the OG and CMR daddy, which I joined sometime around 2000. There are a couple of us here who go back to that, maybe further. But that's as far as I can get you.

^Arttie actually recently stopped by in a few threads!  He'd probably have some good insight for this one.

I applied to join CMR like a day or two before it got hacked.  (At that time there was a setting that made it so mods had to approve new users.)  After waiting for longer than expected, I visited back and discovered what happened so I applied again for this iteration.  I was never a part of it beforehand so I can't give much more info than what was already said.  Since then it's been a fun ride though haha.  We should have a thread of "greatest CMR moments" or the like maybe...

I can't remember if there were a few sites that went down at the same time, like it was a backdoor thing in the software.

The CMR is my longest online relationship: 17 years now.

That's longer than most of my relationships outside of relatives.

I think I have been around since 2002 or 2003.  We have been around quite some time.

I think I've been here since 2005.
I remember us migrating to a new platform after around a year or so, and then starting over again after the "big hack".

This sounds like a dystopian novel. For us it isn't "The 60 Minute War", "the rebellion", "The Reaper Virus", or "World War III". It's not B.C. and A.D that separates the old world from the new world.

It is simply...the "big hack".

That is one way of looking at it.  It can also be looked at as those who were here and left because of a lot of inward fighting, various trolls and trouble makers with multiple accounts to prevent banning,  the increased universally accepted use of social media, etc.  It has been a checkered past around here.  I far prefer the quieter CMR of today.

That was actually the second iteration. The first one was on a different platform before we all migrated over to that one. 

As far as how old? Not sure exactly, I remember joining in 2003 though.
