Freaks4Live site Options

This site sure has been quiet lately.. I just checked the Freaks4Live site, thought maybe something would be going on over there. Sadly, just a recent post from someone complaining about his photos being used w/o credit. http://freaks4live.com/forum/topic/copyrighted-image-use

When is that place going to get moving?

guys, i bet the kid meant, that the site sucks just like the DT site, not the band

anyway. The point about social media is the correct one. Nowadays a website should either be overflooded with everything (check Lynyrd Skynyrd one) or simply be a so-called business card one with vids, pics, news and shop. Check rev theory for that matter.

I must also say that forums vanish the last years. Fansol is among the very few exceptions. It is only this, a Peugeot club for me and the huge Depeche Mode forum I admin.

There are spam messages being posted on the band's offical wesbite (and very little else is ever posted there). Doesn't anyone associated with the band pay any attention at all to that site? Does anyone associated with the website even give a sh*t?!?!

I am going to go on a rant. That website has been live for 5 months. There has not been one bit of content worth mentioning added to that site since the day it launched. Now there are nothing but spam messages, critics of the band, and someone complaining about having his copyrighted photos ripped off by the band. It is an embarrassment and the site makes me embarrassed to be a big fan of this band. Also, the band had an 8 month wait between putting a place-holder splash on the site and launching the site, and in the meantime, they had all of their fans go out and try to recruit everyone we know to sign up for the site. They promised special prizes for people with the most sign-ups. The site has been up for 5 months and there is NOTHING. It isn't even worth visiting that site. I am ashamed that I convinced my firends to go sign up. It's like inviting my friends to a party and when they show up, they find out that I am hosting it in a porta-potty.

I need to call this out because I think that what they are doing is wrong. They need to do better and someone needs to tell them.
