Ed's Website Gone To Hell!, Promises Not Delivered Options

[Hoodstock]

Not that anyone cares, but is it just me or is Ed seriously neglecting his website basd on what he promised?

- There used to be a background to all the pages. When I look at it now all pages are white except for one (have been for months).

- His self-proclaimed "mandatory weekly blog" is basically dead

- He tore down all the special stuff he was going to be doing all the time and he doesn't post it anymore

- He does't update the site, just social media sites, so only the column on the right ever changes.

- I've never even seen the splash page because it's never worked on any cpu I've used.

- He only really seems to care about the store page because he does update that from time to time with new shit to sell (no suprise here)

Just saying I think for what it was promised to be I think it really sucks. No suprise though.

how bout the tshirts which are taken directly from the Live storefront and added his name to the design?

[LivesMeltdown]

Well, I'm sure he's happy that both of you like to his visit his website and constantly search his name in Google. Shows that ya care

[Aitkens]

it's just enjoyable to make fun of the easy targets.

Well, the same thing you guys constantly rip Nick for...you repeatedly do it yourself but that seems to be fine. Guess Ed isn't the only hypocrite.

It's a 360 view of the band. You can zoom around. Looks pretty cool but it's really just a gimmick. You might need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Get it from here:

Here's what it looks like.

The site looks fine for me. In Firefox and Internet Explorer. I can see the background on all pages. Maybe you should try clearing your browser cache?

The rest of your points are fair enough. I get the impression that Ed can focus on one online media at a time. When Ed first started using Twitter, he went all out. Now he's moved onto his Facebook fan page. Ed seems to be quite active on there, answering questions and posting videos/photos etc. It looks like his website has taken a back seat because FB is the most effective way to reach out to fans.

I posted the thing about the shirt the other day, it seemed to go over everyone's head. Interesting though, the same company does the shits for FOL and Ed's store, i simply think the design ripoff is an easy nit pick as you'll find. It's either his design that he wanted brought to his site or another blind grope.

What about CCP promising a 2010 holiday gift of B-side LIVE material for fans who joined a defunct band's fan club? Talk about stealing......

There are hurdles to clear for that 'gift' for the fans. Guess you, I and some others are out a few dollars then for the time being. Why don't you call CT and take it up with him, since you're all upset you didn't get your gift. I am most positive you'll be told that your goldenboy is responsibile for the hiatus/breakup and other nonsense.

Is that all you got little boy?

Shouldn't they have cleared those hurdles before announcing the gift in the first place? My membership expired in November 2010, and I am very happy that I didn't renew. I'm pretty sure that anyone who joined Homespun after the breakup did so to get their hands on B-sides, not leftover LIVE merchandise.

[OutToDry]

Those things take time, but surely you must know that. There was no official announcement stating the b-sides would come via homespun. I joined up for the hell of it again after about 4 yrs abscence and got some autographed photos, a lanyard, a few patches. FOlks got the 2 tracks last year, this years stuff, is tba. I didn't expect to get music this year, honestly, are you going to nancy boy this one to death too?

Like you are nancy boying Ed's t-shit design?

[OutToDry]

is it his? or did he rip it off? The design is cool, but looking at the stores, I saw the same design under the 2 names, the Live one came first. Care to ask him why he's still poaching? of course you wont. He's not stepping away from old ways....if it walks talks quacks like a duck.

The $25 for the vinyl record then $40 for an autographed one.........come on man.

I won't say what the tgf record fetched with 5 autographs.......oh I will now....same as one w/o autographs.

[Aitkens]

That red cross on the olive green tshirt was a design from 1994/1995. I have one of them.

[OutToDry]

yep, i had an older one but it's all tatters. The newer one is more modern...so I rest my case.
