DAWNRAZOR FORUM SHUTOWN

Post by TruGoff » Sun Nov 05, 2017 4:55 pm

Seriously guys, there have been a few new fans on here attemptimg a resurgence in the band.
The band have their official forum for starters.
There really isn’t anything of interest to discuss here due to lack of new materials.
Many of the old dawnrazors simply have lost interest and don’t visit anymore!
Porhaps it time to wish Carl and the band well and shut down this beloved forum that is fast becoming lost?
*cthulhu*

The official FOTN forum known as NewGoldDawn was deserted soon after its creation bursting a last ditch attempt once in a while.

The only FOTN forum alive at this point is this fan board aka as the Dawnrazor forum. It has the advantage to warrant freedom of expression with no risk of censorship or conflict of interest, which I appreciate and find particularly valuable as times go by.

Of course if it was becoming too heavy for its owner to run it we should talk about it and reconsider things but until then why bother?

By the way there is a section about the life of the forum called 'The Site' for a subject of that sort.

I pop in fairly regularly to check up for new info so would say Keep it Open please!


On the other hand, if it was closed down, albeit for a planned short while do you think it might motivate anyone to release new material/ perform in other parts of the country/globe?

It was quite active for a while and there's still some traffic. But creating it has spread the fan base thin and might have been counterproductive.

The owners are this forum's members. Speaking as the bloke hosting it, the only effort I have to put into it is deleting spam, doing backups and I really should do a software update in the future.

This forum has send me on a tour through Europe following FOTN and got me into contact with you wonderful people. It has a place in my heart and I would miss it. So it is here to stay.

Seconded!!

The only reason to shut down I would find to be plausible was if the administrators wouldn't want to do the work anymore and would not find any successors.

I fully understand being frustrated because of a cancelled gig (due to insufficient ticket sales, according to my understanding) and because of the discrepancy between announcements and not living up to them. But with the exception of short periods it's been like this since 91. And considering that there is no band but only a frontman with musicians he hires for gigs every once in a while, any talk of a new album is so obviously bogus that one cannot reasonably have any respective expectations which could then be disappointed. Of course I'd love to be proven wrong, but seriously...the prime requirement would be that there was someone able to compose an album.

Yet I don't understand why there should be a forum only if there was a band. That part of the Nephs was effectively ended by Carl in 91. Even if the Nephs were not in existence at all anymore, I would still hope for the forum to continue. And that's not even the case. Some of the recent gigs have been pretty awesome. Plus many of those who wrote the music we all love are still doing so in other contexts.

Like others I've not been very active here recently. That might change or it might not. Either way it would not be a reason to close this place down.

My 2 cents...thanks markandre13!
