Yeah we got something like 15 new members within 24 hours!!! And the amount of new messages is crazy!!! This is THE place to be for fans of Alphaville & Atlantic Popes!!!

wii
20 Mar 2003, 14:45
We had over 700 unique visitors within 24 hours at www.alphaville and forum - thatīs a new record !

AWESOME!!! I have to believe that Bernhard's message to the mailing list had to have helped - I have never seen so many visitors before and they are all checking out the chat transcript!

wii
20 Mar 2003, 15:11
Average on www.alphaville.org and forum is about 350 unique visitors a day, so we are doing very well here.

This community will soon have more members than the official mailing list...

Mailinglist: 705
Alphaville.dk: 616

wii
20 Mar 2003, 23:11
Yeah, and look at the member/post count (as right now)

Dreamroom = 620 / 35417
Mailinglist = 701 / 5784

We will be the largest Alphaville community in the world in a few months.

Agnes
20 Mar 2003, 23:53
Probably because over here anyone can speak out their opinion free - while the official list has got some... ehm... limits in this field. [wink]

I had heard this forum mentioned from time to time over the last few years and always intended to come see what it was all about, but somehow never got around to it...(I know, shame on me [wink], I guess I was busy when I was still a student or something...). But I am so glad to finally be here, after five weeks or so, I definitely [love2] this forum! Both friendly and informative, and a whole group of people who understand the "Alphaville thing"...bring wonderful things [bouncy]. Love and PEACE!!!!!

This, of course, depends on the fact that we got a general discussion area where you are aloowed to write almost anything you want and how much you want. On the forum, you can discuss everything, but the list is only Alphaville.

Yes....and if the mailinglist stay as it is now weīll get there well before!

russharvey
24 Mar 2003, 02:17
yes, there have been very few postings for a long time and now all of a sudden there are too many and they are all just rude and obnoxious - people believe what they are going to believe and being rude or demeaning to them on a mailinglist is just not cool! But you are right Poul e, if this continues it will drive them all out and they can come here where its much more peaceful and conducive to discussion.

@Willy - when is the forum's three year birthday? Now that should be an event yes?

wii
24 Mar 2003, 15:20
The 3 year birthday is 8 nov 2003 and yes, weīll arrange something special for the occasion.

wii

poul e, youīre the numberguy from now on - keep us updated.

Thanks

PS: We might get there before the birthday at this speed.

The numberguy....hmmmm.....I wonder if thatīs positive or negative???

Yes at this speed thereīs a chance that we get there sometime this summer....

wii
24 Mar 2003, 17:21
If we donīt count this period (after Bernds announcement) we have an average of 14 new members a month, so using that average we should get there by august 2003.

russharvey
24 Mar 2003, 19:54
but that is based upon a zero growth or negative growth of the mailinglist right?

wii
24 Mar 2003, 19:57
The mailinglist usercount has been very "stable" in a long time, so Iīm not too worried...

Nevertheless it would have been good if the world is going totally mad, we would still have a shelter at the mailing list, where we discuss only Alphaville-related topics... Just because the long-awaited new album was just out, also Bernhard declared his quit from the band... Don't forget about the words of wisdom by Oscar Wilde: "We are all sitting in the middle of the shit, but some of us look up to the stars." Or shall I quote Bernt Engelmann, a German journalist: "We live in a quite interesting age, though I would prefer it to be less interesting." [boggled]

@JP: you are so damn true!!!!! For a long time I have the very straight feeling that this place is much friendlier and much more person-oriented than the official mailing list.

I saw that our latest member Ewan is also from Belgium (Gent).

Can I welcome him in name of our forum?

To Ewan : 'Welkom op de beste forum van Alphaville, we wensen je nog veel plezier en vergeet niet berichten te posten! '

(and for the ones curious what I wrote : Welcome to the best AV forum, we wish you lots of fun and don't forget to post messages!)

I guess you might send it to him as a PM, JP...
