I assume some kind of Drum Crops related message board? If you go to page 1 of the thread, there are some pretty good posts about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume some kind of Drum Crops related message board? It was an unmoderated Drum Corps message board on a platform that hosted many message boards. It existed before Google, but at some I think RAMD stands for Rec.Arts.Marching.Drumcorps, which is where it lived on the platform. At some point it (& all discussion boards hosted on that platform) migrated to (or were acquired by) Google.

If anyone thinks DCP is bad just take a look at the facebook a year or so ago. The place was madness and crazy with all who participated.

frachel Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Looks like my 1st post on RAMD was in 1992.. which newsgroup was used before that? I'm pretty sure I was on that and then participated in some vote to get RAMD created (alt.drumcorps maybe? been so long...) I totally forgot about Cybercorps..

MikeN Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think alt.drumcorps was the predecessor. I joined RAMD on finals night in '96. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
