Vīcious Crowd | An unofficial fansite for the band +LIVE+

[cdub]

So back in the 90s during high school and college I was REALLY into the band Līve. I even created a Geocities fan site for them and that's how I got first involved into creating websites as a hobby.

I recently heard an ad for the band on the radio that they were playing nearby here in SoCal so I went to go see them and had a great time. Afterwards, I checked the current status of fan sites for the band and they were pretty limited. Just Facebook groups (which I don't like) and a site using forum software from 2005 which had some activity but unfortunately was completely unusable on mobile. So I decided to bring it full circle and use my present day web building skills to make a new fan site for the band.

@Russ from PixelExit did an AMAZING custom style for the site. It also has @Bob 's Item Management System (IMS) built as a database of their full music catalog that one can rate and review and of course his Article Management System (AMS) for articles. @Siropu 's keyword linking is also in use.

It's been a fun project.

Please let me know what you think! And if you're a fan of the band sign up.

Never heard of the band but the site looks great.

Always good to see how people implement Bob's addons.

Good luck with your venture

Wasn't my forum to migrate

If the old forum is abandoned, you can try asking them if they give it to you.

It's not abandoned but it's still active. Slightly. Just software is super old.

Someone using a 2005 forum doesn't seem very interested in the forum itself...

Or they're not very techy and don't want to go through the hassle and costs on a site that doesn't make any money.

(I don't plan on making any money off of my site either - purely for the fun - wouldn't feel right profiting off the band anyways)

But this thread is completely off track to let's circle back to the topic at hand.

Getting users to start writing in a forum in 2023 is really difficult if not impossible.
If I were you I would contact the admin of the old forum and try to ask him if he would be interested in giving it to you (or selling it to you at a low price)...
It is likely that seeing your site done well, he understands that it is the best thing...
I did so with my last forum.
