Below some history of this site:

It all started around the summer of 2001. I Was already on mIRC for a few years and always searching for new things to download, especially hardcore and newstyle.

I entered a lot of channels, but i could just find a few songs mostly of the time. At that time DALnet was one of my favorite servers, so i took a look at all the channels there.

Then i saw this channel #mp3z-techno-dance (about 100 people in the channel). I thought i could find some hardcore music overhere, but i just found a few songs. That's why i decided to share music myself.

I had a chat with a few people in that channel, the channels seemed to be very nice, and i started a server there (Polaris-Script). First with some songs i downloaded on the internet.

After a week this was not enough for me so i decided to rip all my cd's. This was a lot of work but it really satisfied me :)

Because i was joining several channels at that time (about 6) and gained my AOP in all the channels, it would be a nice try to start my own channel. #gabbermp3 was born in summer 2001.

The channel #gabbermp3 at dalnet was maybe about 10 people after 1 year, so it never had any succes. The few servers in the channel were fservers at that time, with a slow connection just like me :).

After that year i started to get jealous because i saw all those big XDCC channels with fast connection, so i searched on the internet for some tekst files how to make those channels.

Now i operated on #mp3z-techno-dance and #gabbermp3 on axenet and on #mp3z-techno-dance-xdcc critten.

Now i started to gain more and more bots for #gabbermp3 on axenet and the users went up quite fast.
Because this was taking a lot of my time i decided to quit #mp3z-techno-dance-xdcc on critten.

After a while we had about 150 users on #gabbermp3 on axenet (This was because our channel showed up at www.packetnews.com) so we were bigger then #mp3z-techno-dance with about 150 users.
Then the IRCops told us to set the channel on secret because we were growing so fast and they had to pay a lot for the bandwidth we were consuming with the channel.

Summer 2003: Script kiddies started to ddos axenet :(
We needed to search for another server again. After checking some servers, me and trickster decided to go to rizon. It was quite stable compared to other networks. #mp3z-techno-dance changed to the unreal server and i decided to quit that channel because of that.

August 2003 we were completly moved from axenet and operating on rizon were we still are now :)

Only we now got more then 500 users all the time. Our channel peak was about 1000 users (This includes all the XDCC catcher scripts).
