Save Drowned in Sound
sean by Sean Adams June 8th, 2016

From one bunch of music lovers to another: Help us resuscitate our site and rebuild our infamous forums.

Due to old code and a lack of investment over the years, it currently costs us over £700 per month to run our messageboards. The boards (aka "the indie mumsnet") rarely generate this much in advertising revenue, so we need to move them somewhere cheaper. Ironically, the new place we've found is far better than what we already have.

The restoration and transition of the forums will cost us at least £2000 and we need your help to raise the funds to keep the forums going... READ ON....

Or you can donate to us directly using PayPal.
