EvBoard is proud to be one of the only Evanescence message boards to feature posts by the members of the band, however they have yet to post very much since The Open Door was released. There have been a couple of versions of the board that date back as early as 1999. In July 2003, EvBoard had just over 3,500 members. EvBoard now has well over 22,000 members.
Major Events in EvBoard History
On June 14, 2005, the board suffered a major hard drive event that set the database back as it was on January 25th, 2005. That event is known as The Great Server Wipe of 2005.
On October 3, 2006, EvBoard became a paid community because of cost issues and lack of band interest (see EvThreads.com). This decision left EvBoard with a community of just over 100 active members. A subscription costs anywhere from $5 for a month to $37 for 2 years. Currently someone may join in order to read posts, but a subscription is required to post a message.
Changes In Ownership
On July 4, 2007, ToB sold EvBoard at auction to forumfactory.com through sedo.com for $3500 (USD). On July 11, 2007, the forum was disabled. Activity was restored on July 16th and three new admins appeared, chris123, KCMO, and Kai. On July 17th, plans for re-opening the board completely free of charge were announced by KCMO (introduced himself as Chris).
