THA | Hamst3r.com

This section will be updated as I think of things you might want to know. If there’s anything not covered in here, feel free to ask. :)

1. Who is Hamst3r?

My name is Jamez and I go by the alias, “Hamst3r”. I use it when I post on forums, chat on IRC and when I play games online. If someone else has already registered the name I will use any of the following: HamsterAlliance, [THA]-Hamst3r, -THA-Hamst3r and Hamst4r. If you’re ever uncertain if someone claiming to be, “Hamst3r” is really me, just ask.

2. What is The Hamster Alliance?

I also release music under the alias, “The Hamster Alliance“. I’ve been using this alias since at least 1997. Prior to becoming The Hamster Alliance I was Jamez The Giant Hamster on the original mp3.com.

My real name is Jamez Gillman and I live in Los Angeles. Check my Myspace profile to see my mugshot.

Q: I love your stuff! How can I support THA?

1. Simply emailing me to let me know that you really like whatever I’ve done is always nice. I save all of those emails!

2. Amazon.com Gift Card

If you want to take it a step further, I’m crazy about Amazon.com Gift Cards! You can get one right here on Amazon.com and have it sent directly to my email. :)

3. Paypal Donation

Paypal donations of any amount are cool too!:

Q: Why do you have two separate sites? Why not just make a page on hamsteralliance.com for the Hamst3r blog?

A: The main reason is because I plan on expanding both sites.

For Hamst3r.com, I plan on making reviews for the video games I play and creating a Reviews tab up top.

For hamsteralliance.com, I plan on recreating the Submersible Hamster artist showcase and possibly creating mini-profiles for a few artists on this site.

I have other ideas too. Eventually, having all of this on one site would make it very crowded…a bit like viewing your typical big name site. I don’t want that to happen.

Also, If someone doesn’t care about anything I have to say and they just want to hear the music, then they can visit hamsteralliance.com. Alternatively, if someone has no interest in my music but they know me from a gaming website, they can visit hamst3r.com.

It may seem more complex having two sites, but it’s actually simpler. Imagine if Gamespot.com, Filmspot.com and mp3.com – all owned by CNET – were merged together into one mega-site. It would be an absolute mess.

You’re on the wrong site. Please go to The Hamster Alliance site. That’s where the music and Buzz tracker related stuff is. Hamst3r.com is my blog about everything else.
