Update: After creating this new board, please create a thread introducing yourself and the community will say a big hello back!
Hi all, this seems to be a good way to get to know each other.
so here goes:
I'm Carol, 28 year old from Durham in the North East of England. I first heard Nightwish all the way back in 1998. Since then I've followed them constantly. I now run Tuomas' official website which is a huge honour. I've met some fantastic people via listening to this band, and always up to meet more.

Hello! I'm Alex, the Fan Club Leader. I've been a Nightwish Fan since 2004. After falling in love with the songs Nemo and Wishmaster. Over the last 6 years I've fallen more and more in love with the band. I was involved with former Nightwish UK Fan Club, first as a moderator then as an assistant administrator.

I am Sari, the evilest wench on the internet! I first discovered nightwish in 2004, just after "Once" was released. I heard a 30sec clip from "Dark Chest of Wonders" and was instantly hooked - I'd never heard anything like it before. I joined this fansite after extreme bullying from Carol (Escapist) who is the god of all mods, though she tries to keep that fact a secret...Ooops! I'm looking forward to meeting new people here (well...the ones that aren't scared away anyway!)

Hehe, this is like AA but for Nightwish. Nightwish Anonymous:P I'm Janey, I'm 21 from London. I remember first hearing Nightwish online and the song had such an effect even though it was in Finnish (Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan) and I researched the band and liked what I heard and have liked NW ever since. I'm quite interested to see Nightwish fans in the UK because at least from where I'm from, symphonic metal is unheard of, let alone Nightwish! I'm also on the Facebook page for this site.

Welcome to the forum guys! Take off your coat, help yourself to a cold one from the fridge (Metaphorically, and while we're talking about metaphorical things.. have a cookie.) I hope you believe in multiple deities Evilwench, because I am for sure pretty powerful too! Just wait and see...

I'm Sofi, I'm 17 and from Kent but hoping to go elsewhere for uni later this year. I spend most of my time doing music related stuff. I've only been a Nightwish fan for about three years but I think I'm well and truly hooked! I was also introduced to this by Carol

I'm Elektra, 19 (turning 20 next week, though) and from London. I found out about Nightwish in 2004 and bought Once as soon as I heard Nemo but it was Romanticide that really got me into the band. I was lucky enough to see them live at Hammersmith Apollo on 25th September 2005, which was my first ever concert.
Besides that, I'm hoping to take a BTEC National Diploma in Photography or Media from September this year. That's it really.

Hey, I'm Scott. I'm 19, from Scotland, and I've got the same username over on Tuomas's forum.
I'm a student, and I study journalism in Glasgow. The rest of my time is spent playing or listening to music, going to gigs, failing at pub quizes, Tweeting, and getting excited over TV shows.
I first heard NW in 04 when I saw Nemo on Kerrang. I nagged my friend to take me to Glasgow the next day so I could pick up the album. They've been my favourite band since. Only seen them once (31st March 08), but I remember it completely, it was so great.
