[Bernhard Lloyd]

AtlanticPopes is about to update the website.
I would like to hear your opinions.
What would you like to see/read/listen to?
What are you missing?
What could be better?

Maybe some pictures of Max and you in the studio would be nice, like a gallery with thumbnails.

Also being able to actually download some samples of the songs would be nice, so visitors don´t have to be online to listen to the songs on the website.

I love the Flash, more of that would be great, I´ll think of some more ideas...

Dear Pope, i could order the c.d. (and i'm very glad i did:))
but i can't see the side at all...except some text only parts.
(about copyrights and the orderformula)
My simple "computer" can't loaddown at all, certainly not
flash 4.but I càn vieuw moonbase par example. Maybe i am
the only one with to antique equipment...if not maybe a
litlle non-flash section with some information would be a
idea (or a AP corner especially for me <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> ...nights work
for the p<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>pes...)

I go for the pics idea... <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Also - a history section.
True, we know about the history of the popes from what we've been told by Bernd but why not make it official and open for everyone?
Good Luck !
Adi.

A contest for free things would be cool, like t-shirts, autographed cds etc.

The update is great !!!
Very nice news section and first pic of the Atlantic Popes !!!!
Bernd: you cant hide anymore...now i know what Max looks like <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
You two look very cool together ! kind of like brothers... the "poping" brothers <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Such a shame that i cant save the image <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Why dont you bring Maxi over here? we like both of you very much :)
I have to say that i didnt expect this project to get so big but it did and im so proud of the AP guys and proud to be a fan of them !
Congrats for being on the top 10 at A DIFFERENT DRUM !!!

I took another look at that pic (ok so i took 100 looks... so what ?!? :)) and i think that Maxi looks a bit like the actors Kevin Costner and Gary Oldman... <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
Bernie looks so cool with his sun glasses on !!! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Bernhard Lloyd]

There it is....
the AP-website ie updated (with a direct link to this wonderful forum, that is killng my sleep)
the first pic (there will be more)
we will think about offering the songloops for download, but they are shorter than you might think...and you have to loop them yourself
and we will think about an extra non-flash section for lee <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
the history / story will come soon
the recipee idea is good, I will talk to Max about that, he is a fantastic cook!
And ther will be stuff to wear....combined with a contest<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
@alpha-x: this is just the start!!!!!

@ALL: Thank you very much for your ideas
The Popes really appreciate this.
Go on ! I don´t mind strange ideas as well...feel free to say what comes to your mind.<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

Bernd: is that a threat? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
YES! I want to wear the popes !!!
I will even go to the army with my shirt (so what if its not allowed?!?) :)
Hmmm.... you might find it crazy but the only time i smoked while i was wearing my AV shirt was at the party in HH - usually i dont smoke, eat or drink while im wearing it because im afraid it will get ruined <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I like the update a lot! Nice thing!
I think an interview with max could be interesting, we don´t know too much about him...how he earns money down there...only by music?
It´s interesting for me, ´cause I want to do the same...leave Germany for the Atlantic!
alpha-x: AP-Shirt at the Army<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> good thing!

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Hi @ all
thanks for the compliments...
just to make it clear...again...
this is just the start....the AP-website will grow and grow...and all of you are invited to join in for the development ....
On one hand we would like to fulfill all the usual stuff it needs for basic information....on the other hand we really would like to be different...

@Stefan: an interview with max? well...do we really know if he really exists...or is it just my voice-modelling module?

Bernd,

stop playing with the fans's nerves: you know it's not good for their health,and it just make us waiting and waiting....and waiting!!! Bad guy benrd...
You both look like twins,if you have a closer regard,Max looks older,but Bernd still the same face since 85! what kind of food,liquids,hygienic stuff are you using...or maybe you are simply not human at all-answer this (hehehehehe)!

he he he <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Of course he got older because he keeps forgeting things <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> but he is BERNIE LLOYD and always looking good! same goes for our dear Marian <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
Personally, i think its the synth. i just love seeing a man by his synth. very charming...
Forever young...i want to be forever young...

you could offer a screensaver made out of your flash movies. it´s very simple by using the program flashwiz which you can find at http://www.silkmoth.com/download/flashwiz.htm.
Another (more innovative) possibility which is not difficult to fulfil by using flash is to construct a game (for example for the corresponding song); content of this game could be to lead a pope through some kind of atlantic labyrinth and everytime you choose the right way a song continues playing until it is finished at the end of the game.

Well we're on our way to check out the AP page. My daughter saw the web page a while ago and since I got my AP cd not too long ago she said to me, "Mommy this sounds like the 'something' popes on the computer" and now she wants to go look at the page again!

The future exists, first in Imagination, then in Will, then in Reality.

Check out this link - great AP info + photos !!!http://ireland.iol.ie/~carrollm/av/popes.htm

[Sacha]

I have a question which has nothing particular with the topic but I want to ask it since month
I was last summer at a festival in neerpelt belgium at an alphaville concert
Marian had drunk a little bit to much of our sweet beer? he was so ...
lol :-)

@Sacha^^

[Krapplund]

Some updates soon maybe?

Did notis that some banners are gone from the page (the banner for this forum and the german one)

[wii]

It´s been like this for a long time Peter, it´s just a matter of changing the URL to the logos, maybe I should contact Bernd about this.

[buttman]

So while contacting Bernhard, could you please ask him if there will be a re-issue of the first AP album? Mine copy is totally dead, as my daughter killed it and there is no way I can buy it now anywhere (ebay, gemm). It's totally unavailable.

[FallenAngel]

Have you already tried from the website http://www.atlanticpopes.de/ ?

[buttman]

No, I haven't. The site looks abandoned and I'm afraid the ordering system is not working anymore.

[wii]

You can still order Atlantic Popes here - I asked Bernd about that:

http://www.atlanticpopes.de/bestellung_g.html - from Germany
http://www.atlanticpopes.de/bestellung_w.html - other countries

[buttman]

Wow! Thank you so much! I used that form immediately and now waiting for the feedback. Strange, the site seemed totally forgotten, and tadaa the ordering 'system' is working. It's like a situation from TV serie "Lost' (the first season kicked ass, the fourth sucks balls big time) where on that island there is so much hidden vintage stuff which happens to be still working.

[Krapplund]

Nothing happend yet...hope for some news soon

[MalilaM]

The website is still on, so it looks like Bernd is not giving up the project... that's already something. [smile]
