What the heck - if I'm going to hang out here, I might as well do a bit of shameless self-promoting. I made a fanlist for Frank. All it basically consists of is a place for Frank fans to declare their fanaticism and get a neat banner code for their trouble.

hey, i signed up 'cause when i went there it showed you as the only member
(not sure what i would do with 'banner code' though as i am a user only on the web)
and then it confirmed me in eggmail and when i went back -it wouldn't turnover
to that page that shows members -it just sat there spinning it's wheels.
i'm no code-meister but that java-script or whatever running that show over there
may not be the best.
i like the name Purrsia though!
postscript-to be fair i went back and lo and behold i am member #002
HOT DAMN!
boy, i don't know .... it's a cool front page and all but i think action wise you're gonna like it a lot more over here... |

Yeah, I undoubtably will have more fun over here. But that's not the idea of a fanlist anyway. All they're meant to be is a list of fans of a particular person, place, thing (i.e. think of a noun, there's a fanlist for it!) to stand up and be counted, so to speak. Nearly useless, but somehow addicting/fun. However, if anyone has a suggestion or idea on how to make the site a bit more interesting/interactive, I'm game for suggestions. Basically, I threw something together as I only have four weeks to finish 7 lists. I have three done (The lists I volunteered to run? In addition to Frank's, I'm doing XTC, Bob Mould, Sugar, Drivin n Cryin, Richard Ashcroft, Buffalo Tom). So if I do get suggestions, they likely won't be incorporated til I get the basics of all those lists done.
As for slowness, sometimes my webhost's sever has a hiccup every now and then. But I can't complain, because I got a slew of neat web-stuff ever-so-cheaply. Whee.
Lack of members - sure. It's only a few days old, and it's going to take awhile for word to get out. That's why I so shamelessly self-promoted here as to jump-start it. It may or may not pick up once it actually gets linked-to from fanlist.org (the site that officially sanctions all fanlists). It is sanctioned by that site, it's just going to take awhile for them to process the "Hey, I'm Done" form I submitted upon completion of the site. Then it will depend on if visitors to fanlist.org know who Frank is and want to join. I probably will have better recruiting luck here, to be honest. I don't know many people personally who even know who Frank is, sadly. Case in point, I dropped a link to the Frank fanlist on a webmaster forum just to get feedback on the design aspect of it, and I got a lot of "Er, who is this guy anyway?" hehe.
Finally, the code banners are only required if you have a website. One way or another, if you have a site or blog, you're supposed to link back to that fanlist. Supplying a pic and source code for you to use is supposed to simplify the linking business, though you are free to make your own pic or text link back. The concept being to spread the word about the fanlist and at the same time show your Frank Black fan pride. I suppose people could use the codes as avatars or sig pics in forums too. Doesn't really matter. The major thing to remember is you can't direct link to the image as I don't allow remote linking to my server (I've had so many leaches stealing bandwidth in the past, I fixed their red wagon with a big fat htaccess file amendment. Any webmasters in the crowd will know what I'm saying) - so you'd have to have your own webspace or something in order to use the pics. Thus the reason most won't use them unless they do indeed have their own site.
There. I think my ramblings have come full circle. I approved two more members today. Thanks for joining...I was getting lonely ;)

I might be off, as it's hard to discern inflection over the internet, but I'd have to say that person was being sarcastic ;) There's really nothing much that goes on at the list. As I said before, it's just a list of fans.
If you're wondering why it takes some time for people to get listed, that's because I have to go into the admin panel and approve everyone who applied. So if I get lazy and/or forgetful, applicants sit in limbo for a bit :-p Obviously, there's not a huge demand to get on the list (temporarily or forever, can't say at this point), so I don't check too terribly often for pending members.
The concept of a fanlist might seem silly to some (most?) of you, and that's fine. It's no skin off my nose. Others may find it interesting/fun to do - it's under the shits-and-giggles category as far as things to do I guess.
Hmmm...I'm going to do some design tweeking later and then get myself in more search engines. Hope to see more people join in spreading flowery love for Frank everywhere.
Laterz.

Nah, I'd seem desperate if I checked for new members all the time. Gotta maintain that air of semi-indifferent nonchalance ;)
As for ThunderCats...let me tell you, sometimes *I* don't understand why I'm so flipped over it. I'm a strange fruit I guess - a papaya and kiwi bastard child.
