Not so long ago was a site called the Black Vault that disappeared. Does anyone know what ever happened to the site? I miss it. Now that was a site that was worth the reading. always witty and interesting.
I usually am quite disappointed with the FB sites around (the new french site -thealiensarecatholics or something like that- i just checked... i just can't understand why these people even bothered to get that started, no offense gentlemen) including the frankblack.net which is very rarely updated, with a lot of crap topics, uninteresting rumors and a very few substantial news (i'll make an exception for the cool links to interviews, and also it was pretty cool to set up the ftp).
I don't want to be negative for the sake of it but Hey fellars, try to emphasize quality rather than quantity.

Well, this site is completely volunteer-run, haki, so if you want to make some useful kind of contribution or addition to the site in terms of "quality," apply to Mr. Dave Noisy and knock yerself out.
As for the Black Vault, Jared Tarbell got too busy to maintain it, I guess. His forum ID is "beentired" if you want to ask him for specifics. It was a rockin' good site and no doubt about it. I loved the Black Book. I still visit levitated.net from time to time just b/c he's always got something interesting going on there.

| Black Vault was taken down due to the guy running out of time/interest in keeping it up. I've been trying to put more focus on the main site but Dave's not budging! |

Hum... reading my message again, it seems quite agressive so i'm sorry i didn't want to diss anyone. Actually there ARE good things on the fbnet and i reckon there's a lot of work involved.
As far as quality is concerned, here are a few ideas offhand :
i think that the Man himself -Frank that is- does not contibute enough here and what about asking him things like a monthly newsletter or something like that ? After all we are the patrons here... I understand that about everyone on the forums are superhardcore fans so, in my view, he kind of owes us (but that's questionable i agree).
what about asking the Man to check or complete derek's tab section (the tabs are good but not perfect).
what about collecting smart questions to have our own Frank ultimate interview?
To sum it up, my opinion is that as our little community can be regarded as the ultimate FB patrons section we could be able to get more of Frank (like asking to release not 2 but 3 albums at once ahahah).

hi haki ! it seems that you didn't like my website, why ? If you can't read French I can understand but don't be sad I'm translating it into english (thanks Steve).
And I will put some new things : a news space (I have a friend who works for naive which is the label of FB in France, he gets some news before everybody !) + a space where people can rate the albums and the shows.
I will send you a mail when all this is online, I'm sure you will love it.
Note : I do agree, the Black Vault was cool - I like this forum too.

| I don't think he owes us anything. He gives us the music, that's payment enough. He's a busy man and I don't think he has time to sit around and dig through a bunch of threads on the forum, etc. It's good enough that he even posts here. |

What have i gotten into ? El barto, pardon my awkward wording, and of course the man doesn't owe us anything. It's definitely the other way around. Come on pilgrim, you know i love him. It's just i would love to see him give us more "added value". But then again i'd rather have him write 5 seconds of music than spend 5 hours on posting on the forum.
And i got that french guy upset. Man let me tell you that every FB fan is a buddy to me.
I'm gonna have a few more drinks, nothing to do about it,and then come up with some more "quality" ideas. Or maybe not after all... |

| I know you didn't mean harm by it, nor did I mean harm in my response, although it did seem a little hostile. I was just trying to take his point of view, and I'm pretty sure he'd say the same thing. We'd all love to see more from him online, but we all know he's a busy man. Some artists do come out and run their own websites and link directly with fans, others don't. I'm fine with either way. One pro of him not posting all the time (at least, in my opinion) is all the speculation and rumors...it adds to the mystery, rather than him coming out directly and saying certain things, you know? |

Mr El Barto,
im not sure but you seem like the big cheese in the forum, im not sure if you have checked out the "FB DREAM SET LIST" forum but a couple of us have concocted a wild idea of frank doing a show that us forumers (was that even a word?) would sponser. a BBQ concert of sorts....can we get something like that together, of course it would be in a convenient loacation for frank, like LA or somewhere best for him?

I'm not upset mr haki ! just let me know : 1. if you can read French ; 2. if you do, what you don't like in my website. I do like criticisms, that's a way to do better things !

it would be cool if you could all come over to dublin. great place.
and we all know that FB LOVES his guinness.
There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough. |

I am sorry but if I have to read "Fligh" one more time I am gonna scream.
Please change it to read Flight or change to read Fly, as in I'll be on the first insect called a Fly.
It is, I'lll be on the first Flight.

This is to my buddy alienscatholics :
my french is just average not fluent (italian speaking, i can go through the pages and have a fair idea of the tonality of the articles); there's nothing i do not like about the site, hombre. it's not my point here.
what i resent about the site is that there's nothing there that i haven't read somewhere else. So it's back to my first post about putting on quality rather than compiling what's been available on the internet for quite awhile. but then again i understand you're just beginning this new shit so my judgement what way too harsh. hum... what can i say ? it's always nice to have FB sites and the drinking makes me jumpy at times. See you later alligator. You just keep on the good work and i'll keep on grap it and lift it and then i'll pour it down. |
