INTRODUCTION:
I was just coming from a bad, boring stint on one music forum last year when I discovered
EmoWire.com, so naturally I didn't feel available. The music forum wouldn't have been a bad idea, but it seemed dead and without users despite a wonderful layout. I'd spend days there browsing through the site alone and complaining to myself. So when I saw this new forum, I wasn't exactly inspired to check it out. Then my friend Lupe told me to give it a try, because she was already a member and was having so much fun. Fast forward to today and I am an active member that regularly checks out the site and corresponds with my new friends. I used to be super lonely all the time, which is sad because I am a senior in high school, but I now have friends here and they're wonderful. The first time I checked out the site, I was surprised by how different it looked. It wasn't exactly the usual forum style I am used to; it was different and unique and stylish. It also seemed to have very many active members online at the same time. I didn't bother reading the FAQs (I couldn't find them anyway) so I signed up anyhow and jumped right into the action. It's a simple forum really, has only three forum sections and a simple layout. But it immediately draws you in with its charms and doesn't let you go. For me, the ultimate attraction was that it was alive and full of people when I first checked in, and alive and full of people every time I came back to check it out.
ABOUT:
EmoWire.com has been active for the better part of the last few years, and in that short period of time, it has marked out its presence in the emo world and cultivated a strong followership in the process. It currently spots one of the most active membership bases in all of emo forum world, with its users storming in from all over the world. EmoWire.com is just a forum on the bigger website that is EmoWire.com, a platform that's essentially designed for emos with resources in form of blogs and more. The forum stands out for its more modern design and layout, a far cry from the usual forum style layout most forums use. Like any other forum though, the site requires membership of its users if they are to access all its services.
EmoWire.com remains completely free for use, and accepts users from all over the world. Again, like many other forums,
EmoWire.com was designed as a platform for emo people to hang out and discuss their issues without trolls or embarrassment.
EmoWire.com makes a unique turn on this strategy by allowing for less of sensitive talk and more of worldly topics, without veering too far away from the emo cause. As a result, EmoWire.com is ideal for users that want to chat with other emo users about many other things other than emo culture, but without putting it aside. It also aims for simplicity, hence it has only three forum sections and not much else. This is also one of the few forums that has a relatively incident-free timeline.
