The rise of rwd forums coincided with the rise in grime there was no actual grime room because the name grime wasnt really used until people in the garage room started getting pissy about dubstep and mc based topics taking over.
Oh yeah... fair point actually... It came from Garage .... i think for a while the forum was split into names like 'Grimey Garage / Sublow / Eski' at the point it didn't have a defined name.
I'd say the way it evolved it's core userbase become known for Grime topics or fans of underground music coming together to talk about other stuff ... but you are right it evolved at the same time

I don't disagree just RWD probably saw no money in video content (SB didn't even), plus you must remember them getting content is more complex as partly cos they wanted money for everything and where as artists will give and let Jamal come shoot their hood video, the minute RWD try, artists will want p's, but again this is cos of their relationships with them also.

Didn't 2SG evolve from Staylocked.com ?
Staylocked and Uptown Forums were the original. I remember when Logan was infamous on Uptown for his strong views.
Then RWD and 2SG started to take over but as you say were very different... 2SG had more garage / music and RWD had the Grime if i remember?
