The NSB chat community has existed for over 15 years in one form or another - creating friends, collaborations and relationships along the way.
Why you should join:
Sound good? Course it does! And that's why 687 people have joined us so far!
As we verify and approve every member, this can take time. To prove you are a real person and to stop spammers, the quickest way to get approved is to make a small donation to NSB Radio. This shows us you are not a fake person, and also prevents (or at least penalises) abusers who want to setup many fake accounts. It also goes to the upkeep and improvement of NSB - thank you for your support!
When you donate to NSB you get automatically verified to join our chat room. All you need to do is select the amount you want to donate, then enter your email and pay. We'll send an invite instantly to your email.
NSB is a non-profit making community, running no adverts, with no other income apart from donations by listeners and DJs. Your donation lets us invest in technology so our DJs can play higher quality music and make all of their shows available for download. We run NSB as a community project - we do sell your data like Zuckerberg and Bezos, so a small donation can literally keep the music playing for NSB!
Once you've donated, check your email for further instructions. If you don't get your invite from Slack within 10-20 minutes, check your spam folder if still nothing, then read our help section.
Free accounts are limited. We manually check all applications - this can take some time (up to 7 days). If you want instant access to NSB chat, please donate above.
Manual approval can take up to 7 days to process. Once approved by our team, you will receive an email invitation from Slack.com. If you haven't had an invite in 7 days, make sure to check your spam folder.
NSB uses Slack as its chat room platform. This is a commercial chat program that allows for instant chatting over multiple devices.
Slack has a great, fully-featured web app that you can use on any computer, native Mac, Linux and Windows apps, and iOS and Android apps. Preferences, conversations, and what you’ve read are synced across devices.
Once you have the software installed - join the workspace "nsbradio" and then enter your email and password to login.
To login to the NSB Chat you need to have gotten an invite sent to your email and then signed up. Search your email for "slack invite" to find the invite. If you've never got one, sign up above. The NSB Chat sign up process is completely different to the NSB Forum and (the now defunct) NSB IRC chat.
Try and login to our Slack channel here. If you have forgotten your details, you can get Slack to email you a special login link by choosing "Get help signing in".
If you've used Slack before, you need to sign up for the NSB team seperately. Each team within Slack has its own unique login and password.
If you've donated and you're not sure what to do - check your emails for an invite from us. Click on that, set a password, and you should be auto-logged in.
If you are having trouble accessing our chat room you can search the Slack help center. Want some advance tips? There's an article about Slack tricks.
Please open a support ticket with us including the email address that Stripe.com (our payment processor) sends emails to you from. Please let us know if you want to cancel immediately, at the next billing cycle or other. Thanks for supporting NSB!
