Members philbo Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 I used to have a couple of albums of our stuff up there, but it's gone now. The whole site - - vanished into the bit bucket of cyberspace. Too bad, there was some great stuff up there (not necessarily talking about mine here).

Gus Lozada Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 wow... that is right ... the entire domain is gone... So sad... my band had great times at IUMA about 8 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 Interesting coincidence... just found a couple of uncashed checks from them/Vitaminic. One was for 8 cents... the other was for, like, a whopping 43 cents... Guess it's too late to take them to the bank. I was always rooting for them and had a few songs there -- but I hated visiting the site as a musician/contributor and as a consumer it seemed even worse... Still, it was a damn shame that such net pioneers (I'm thinking they pre-dated the www, if not maybe having a history stretching back into the mists of time... like the late 80s or something). Anyhow, RIP IUMA. _________ I don't know if any of you caught it, though, but the "old" mp3.com is back... sorta, kinda... not really. But they are taking us unaligned "micro-indies" again as DL contributors... it's not just an unused portal for music-industrial complex promotia anymore. Anyhow... I haven't done much with it, but I have my old url back... and that's pretty cool... I was somebody* back then when I was at: www.mp3.com/onebluenine *Mind you... I wasn't no Bassic. Wonder what ever happened to him...? [Ahhh. Seek and ye shall find: www.lindhe.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philbo Posted June 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 I just checked out mp3.com - - gawd, what a huge steaming pile of pop ups and adware crapola! (Thanks for the tip) I made sure our old site on there wasn't present, and happily, it was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super 8 Posted June 18, 2006 Members Share Posted June 18, 2006 Sorry to hear about IUMA. They were the first site I ever read about that did what they did. And I remember how cool I thought what they were doing was. And I loved their name! I spent a bunch of time there some years ago. I guess times change and sites go down. I never thought Jennicam would disappear either, but here we are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raymar Posted June 19, 2006 Members Share Posted June 19, 2006 That was a long and slow death. That place had been sputtering for so long I finally took my music off of it a year ago and went over to SoundClick. I think for the last year or so nobody was running the ship, it was just an old rusty ghost ship that finally sank. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that... my IE has pop protection via the Google Toolbar and I have FF's anti-pop-up turned on... so i never even saw 'em -- or I'd definitely have warned you. Like a lot of folks, when Mp3.com collapsed in the aftermath of their collosally boneheaded copyright violation, I moved over to Soundclick -- a place justly famous for its own relentless pop-ups.

Plus, you know how business like to frame that first dollar or whatever. I figured I do the same. P.S. What up at HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
