It's no news to any regular on this forum, but the fb.net is losing its relevance. Dave, Brian, or Dean need to spend some time updating the news, or more realistically they need to appoint someone to be in charge of updating the news. It's busy Frank time, but you wouldn't know from the main page of fb.net (and I can't learn French).

Will they do it? Probably not. It's like having an absentee landlord.

I find it cool that when you type "forum.frankblack.net" on google it says "Happy New Year from all of us at FrankBlack.net!"
Of course it's from Jan. 2010 but who's gonna know?

No prob. Thanks for all the threads on what's happening. Otherwise that would've been much harder to put together.

Good work, Dean. It feels weird to have my work on the tour dates acknowledged, seeing that the page isn't up to date at the moment... But I'll correct it ASAP. Thanks anyway.

Cool Dean. Thanks for the update. I don't know if it is my pc or not but I am getting that flowaway crap when I try to read the press release (keep getting re-directed to it). It's kind of funny... I can read a line or two before it gets diverted so I am reading it that way. I was also having a similar flow away issue when checking out the dicopedia last week.

You should link to it, Carlos.


There's a perfect explanation for the shit that I've been in. As soon as I find out, I'll let you know.

Thanks. It's about time. Took about an hour to do that up properly.

Did I miss anything major? I also put a long-overdue new poll on the main page. And I guess I have to update the 'latest album' now that I think about it... work, work, work. :)

Alright, I lied. I'm shaping the mother of all 'catch up news releases' now. Which will be all old news to forum followers, but it's got to be done.


"Now you're officially my woman. Kudos. I can't say I don't envy you."
Cult_Of_Frank Posted - 08/08/2007 : 01:25:37
Alright, here's the deal. I wanted to get the news up to date before printing more news, but as that becomes more daunting, I suppose it's probably better to just start now. So I'll get into the news and put this up in a few mins.

Thanks, Denis.

PixieSteve Posted - 08/06/2007 : 11:20:51
not really. i mean, it depends what you class as independent. how unknown do you want to get?

but yeah, put it on the front page.

The best way would be for you to find something you think could stand some work or improvement on the site and volunteer to tackle it. The FAQ, news, bios, you name it. There's plenty of work to be found, that much I know for sure.

Cult_Of_Frank Posted - 07/11/2007 : 00:01:52
When I was a bit more in the loop I definitely did my best to share info with Blackolero, there's definitely plenty of cooperation and Yann does a great job with it. When Blackolero just started, we added their news feed to our main page so people could subscribe to FB News in French (via Blackolero) from our site. Truth be told, I'd have no qualms about handing over news items to the Blackolero team to do an English version for FB.Net if they were willing.

We are sorely out of date and so am I; we lost Ken Goes as a regular source of confirmed info; we lost our contact at Cooking Vinyl to someone who only comes to us when he needs a favour; we lost Brian and myself to the real world; and our news editing engine needs to be updated because we were crashing the database with spam, so it's hard to even get new news in. So a lot of our 'official' and 'confirmed' news bits now come from the forum, which gives even less exigence to posting/formatting news items.

Plus, I feel like I want to get the news up to date before posting new news, which is no small thing now, and growing larger every day it's ignored.

Anyway, all those excuses aired, it's the one thing that preys on my mind all the time with respect to this site and I'm sorry we're letting everyone down. While I can't hand over the keys to news posting just yet thanks to the fact that with no spam blocking, there are no keys as such to hand over, I would happily accept HTML submissions for news that I can manually enter into the database if there are interested parties.

FB.Net will rise to its former glory, it's just a question of when and how much help we get. At the present rate, with Brian AFK and me AWOL, well, let's just say we need help badly.

I can speak fluent English. Sort of. Is that any help.

I can translate some stuff, if that's cool with the blackolero folks.

(merci. Blackolero and FBdotnet should definately be in cahoots with each other. Whether it be just sharing information so that both sites are kept well and truly up-to-date. Yann and Jedi's enthusiasm should be exploited)

And none french like me. Blackolero has been going strong since early 2006, so it's more than capable of keeping up pace while throwing the odd surprise into the mix.

The thing is, frankblack.net can and should be just as awesome. In English.

I guess so, they're updating it with everything that concerns Frank, France, Europe and Universe!
In fact it's very complete.

You can't imagine how french fans like us are happy and pleased by this site!

I'd persoanlly like this site to house it's own news section rather than link to another.

The damn thing just needs updating [/understatement]

Froggy and Jedi are doing a great and talented work there. The news page from Blacko is really well updated, it would just need a little translation from french to english.

I have thought that there is probably scope for an English version of Blackolero, either run by the Blackoleroboys or in synchronicity with them.
