Title: Who posts the news/updates on the official site?

There's always a bunch of errors.  Whoever's writing the news and updating the site really needs to learn how to spell, lol.

Really?

Everything looks spelled right to me.

If you have a complaint about a specific entry, let us know what that is so we can fix it.

Also, this doesn't not belong in the VC section.  I'm moving it to FAQ/Board Issues.

PS:  Shouldn't it be "there are always a bunch of errors"?

Trish, I think you misread the post. The poster is referencing the Official site, not this one. The topic is inappropriate here because it DOES NOT reference this board or this site.

i mis-understood as well.  I am guessing that is her label and yes, i've noticed the inability to proof read as well.  I think perhaps they should hire tricia for the o-site.

(it could be misunderstood when posting on the forums that the official site is the "nessaholics.com official site" i.e. www.nessaholics.com...) ;)

I don't get why the record companies hire the worst webdevs. Geeze.

I started a number of threads over there, including one called "Anyone who works for this site have a brain in their head"?  Then I remembered-
it's Fullerene!

I thought I was the only one who noticed the pre-K ineptitude of the VCMB.

You're in the buisness, I have heard. Answer me this: how the hell do the incompetants get hired every time?

I swear, it is not restricted to just music sites either. Corp sites are the worst designed. Non-profits generally have excellent sites of the membership is of a geekish bent.

Like you, I feel that, once a company hires someone and their ineptitude becomes apparent, the managers are in a spot.  Many times, someone is an f up but not enough to be fired.  So what happens?  They are put in a place where they can do less damage(the more menial tasks).  It is true of TV as well as anywhere.  Firing someone, especially in our "eternal victim" politically-correct world, can be difficult, thus people with an IQ just north of a dropcloth stay employed for years.
It's also important to look at this as a record company would.  I'm sure they see an artist bulletin board as a money pit, thus the unquestionably inferior board.
In this case, Fullerene most likely has a contract with UMG and/or Interscope, and short of the site failing 100% they can/will do nothing.  Noone's bread is buttered by the VCMB.
That it is underutilized as a marketing tool is just a shame.

So let's write a song called Morning Stain! Yeeaaahh!

I wake at the sunrise
But I'm alone with my pain
My love for you
Is driving me insane

I reach out for you
But it's all in vain
All that's left of you
Is your Morning Stain

There! That's better! Morning Stain!
eeeeeeuuuuuch!

Here's the last verse:

Come daylight you'll be gone
As the sun shines
Through my windowpane
Just a little Spray N Wash
And you vanish along with your
Morning Stain

Come on guys!  We need one more verse and a bridge!  And if anyone wants to vamp on my curious use of "vanish" to refer to toilet cleanser you can bring the whole damn thing full circle.
See?  I'm not a half bad producer.

I actually DID pound out a verse and chorus of "Morning Stain" back when all  this first happened.  I had to dig through a pile of papers to find it. I tried to follow's Vanessa's style, but she is a master of lyrics not easily imitated.

What is this sticky crusting goo?
What is this misty mountain dew?
Grab me a napkin
Make that a few
What is thing that happens
Whenever I'm with you?

It's morning stain
It will remain
It's morning stain
It's morning stain
Oh, morning stain

Title: NEW VC POST
Post by: VaderDawsn on September 23, 2004, 06:20:43 pm
Well, it looks like a newly designed Official site is coming soon.  V says in her latest post that she just recently met with designers.  We can only hope that they'll also groom the boards (I know, I'm dreaming).
