How did you discover Exhale?

[Slayer]

So how did you stumble across this place?

I remember searching for Britney news/leaks on youtube in 2006 and stumbled across Breatheheavy/Exhale and I was addicted  

I remember listening to the demos/leaks from Blackout and seeing all the anticipation for Blackout here! 

I think this place definitely solidified how much of a stan of Britney I was, as previously I had never kept up with Britney daily until I came here

Haha no it was a few years ago so I unfortunately lost contact with them 😭 I wonder if they're still on here though

Well, first I inhaled and when I least expected, boom, exhale

 

ok, bad jokes aside, it was around the FF era. Thing is, before that, I used to see quite a lot of Britney on tv news, or just random internet articles. In reality, I missed a lot of things, like rumors, leaked stuff, etc, but up to that point I had such an amount of Britney info through other means, that I really didn't feel like I was missing on anything. But around the FF era, suddenly, nobody was talking about her anymore, good or bad. I think the breaking point was missing Till the World Ends release, I found out about it until it was already out and I was like whaaat. So I started googling Britney every day, and that's how I found HeyBritney.com which is a news site in Spanish, but then I noticed the most popular one was BreatheHeavy. So I started checking what was the "main site" back then, almost every day, until around 2012, when Britney started to be talked about a bit more, and suddenly I was getting Britney news from other sites that BreatheHeavy hadn't reported, and I was like, how did I miss it?? So I started googling specific Britney news + "breatheheavy" to see when or if they had reported it at all, and I did start to find results but it was on the forum, Exhale.

That's how I found out that most of the news started as a thread on the forum, made by the users, and then Jordan would mainpage it, only if he decided to. So instead of waiting for Jordan to mainpage stuff, I started checking the forum directly, as a lurker. I had a lot of fun reading all the threads lol And I stayed like that, basically all 2012 - 2013, until at the end of 2013, I joined because I hadn't seen anybody posting that interview where Britney is asked if she knows how to speak Spanish and she makes those silly sounds It turned out it was already posted but it was hidden at page 3 or 4. So yeah, that's how I finally joined

No 

I just can’t remember 

I’m not even old enough to drink

Same. It was around 2006/2007 BH was one of the sites along with X17 that I would check religiously for Britney updates. Just to see what crazy things Brit was getting herself into. Then Blackout leaks were coming out and I was always checking BH. Then the hype would fade and I would stop visiting. I would always start lurking again when there was talks of an album/leaks (Circus, FF, BJ, POM). I finally caved and made the account when the #FreeBritney movement started cause I had too much I wanted to say... now I’m hooked 

[Fenixxx123]

I discovered this place because I was in a Spanish Britney forum called HeyBritney.com, which was very popular at that time, and people always talked a lot about Exhale and Breatheheavy. Then, I started to check here but never created an account cause, at that time, I didn't manage English language so well (it was difficult to understand you guys and to express myself lol). Finally joined here in 2013

[Thelegendarybritney]

It was the summer of 2013 i decided to make an account after my Britney fan club on facebook started dying and i need someone to talk to about Britney 

[justin4britney]

Honestly think it was when B in the Mix was released. I used to go to all of the fan sites.

I looked for a new Britney messageboard to join after a few others either closed or people just stopped posting. I've been roaming Britney messageboards since WOB days lol.. that's a long time ago and I'm not sure many would remember that site/board.

[ALBAVEASP]

Though I am literally new here and joined just last month, I can't remember why and how I discovered this wonderful community. 

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

I remember I was looking for Britney news and I found this place through X17 and Hollywood(dot)TV. It was just one of the sites I went to. And eventually BH was the only site I came to visit for Britney news. Obsessed!  

[Blackout2006]

Back in 2017 or 2018, i use to cross these random threads from breatheheavy and i always used to laugh when i would read them  One funny thing is that i used to see @Jordan Miller, @PokemonSpears, and @Slayer comment alot. Before i knew jordan was the leader of exhale, whenever i used to see him always comment on some thread i was like " does this guy have a job?"  I didnt managing exhale was his job so thats one thing we dont talk about  So then in 2018, when i wanted to make a comment, i couldnt because i needed a account to do so, then i decided to create an account but all of my robot test were flopping as badly as Britney jean, so i just gave up  Then this year april 2020, i logged in with my exhale account and BOOM! An exhale icon was born

In March 2017 I was searching on Google about 3rd single off Glory and I found a thread about this topic on Exhale. At the time there were rumors of DYWCO feat Xtina I created an account and the rest is history.

Fyi, I became a fan thanks to SP mv when it was released on Nov 18th. After that, I started listening more of her music, I tried Glory for the first time and I was sooo thrilled by it.

Well since I only joined last month I still remember it: I was looking for Britney news online and found Breathe Heavy, I started reading stuff, found it interesting since I love Britney and so I decided to join
