Queendom (old Madonna forum)

[Jaawsshhh 546]

This is a big shot in the dark, but was anyone here apart of the forum Queendom? I believe I joined in 2003, a few months or so before American Life was released. I don't remember what my username was tbh. I wanna say it was BootyliciousJosh (like my DenDen username). 

Anyone else remember that place?

Sounds vaguely familiar actually. Do you remember Madonna Power and Ashram and Real Media video clips? The old days!

@scottyjWonder if you were on AudioGalaxy and Mircback then too... That was like 2001 and then Madonna Share Hub. Was the only way to find all those bootleg mixes. Oh and of course Napster!

Yes I was! And also there was an irc channel called Madonnaclub and Musicworld ... people used to share stuff like crazy there

Absolutely! That was the very first Madonna website I visited on the Internet back in the day. Landed on it probably from Ask Jeeves! That's where I found the gorgeous Hert Ritts LAP shots. And there was a gallery of video caps as well.

Yes, I recall this.  It eventually was renamed MadonnaOnline before it closed up.  My first experience with Madonna websites was with the Singapore Madonna Page and simple Madonna trading Post.  This was in the late 90's.  Eventually, some very competitive websites popped up.  Madonnarama (not the current one) which was ran by a guy name Teddy.  He teamed up with Ashram website.  Dotmusic forums were huge back then.  They monopolized the internet, and when any little fan website came a long, they tried to get them removed from the web.  It was so bad that these webmasters were sending viruses to these smaller website owners. I also remember MadonnaInternet, Queendom, Madonnapower (which I think had a previous name), Madonnalicious, Madeyes.net, InsideMadonna, Madonnahub, News of Madonna, All About Madonna.  Some of these websites no longer exists, but new ones popped up under the same name.  Madonnatribe and DrownedMadonna eventually came along.  Those two sites had a long tumultuous relationship. If I recall, they actually were one site for a short time and then the webmasters had a falling out and ever since have been fighting.  Their big issues was they both claimed stealing "exclusives" from one another. LOL!  Madonnanation came along when Dotumusic and another popular Madonna forum closed down (forgot the name, but it was owned by artist Rob Jacobs who has infamously became popular for creating this image:

Anyway, there were so many great small Madonna fansites that were so dedicated to Madonna. Some very creative and shared a lot of rare Madonna music/mixes/demo/videos.  Though, the bigger sites kept trying to push a lot of them out. Some bailed because the drama/threats behind the bigger websites was too much for them. 

The Madonna fan base can be quite mean and cruel.  I feel they are the first to create the animosity between other female fansites.

Yes, and it was really beautifully designed for the time. Sindri was such a sweetheart and the forum there was really good too.
