Vanessa's Web Site -- (Discuss here!)

[B]

UMRG is Irv's parent label, so it would appear that they've obtained the site and are probably working on redesigning it.

That is just my guess from putting all the pieces together.  :lol:

honestly, i don't think it's a big deal right now. new people AREN'T going to hear about vanessa because nothing is happening with vanessa. she's in the studio, the end. yeah, she should have a site up but it's not like we can't get our vanessa news fix since the site is down; there is no news. and i'm sure once there is some, the site will be back up to announce it.

this attitude is exactly why it's down.

these people get paid money to move websites.  It isn't a complex process.  From someone that has worked in the industry for over 10 years if they actually gave a sh*t they could do this seamlessly.

I really don't think it is "acceptable" for someone to take a site down for days of a major recording artist.  It is the overall level of acceptance for incompetence that allows people to do things like this without competence.

I run a major network with many customers, if i operated it as such where it was "optional" for something to be up then we wouldn't have many customers.

i don't really understand why you're surprised. vanessa hasn't been a priority for interscope or the dumbasses at fullerene for a couple years now. of course they don't give two shits about her website, it's always been a piece of crap with impractical software.
yes, they should have the site up because she is a customer. from a business standpoint this is correct. but like i said, we have an entire 20pg thread devoted to the o-site and how horrible it is. i figured most would be used to the incompetence by now. besides, unless you go work for fullerene yourself, i doubt things will get better in the future if irv and vanessa decide to keep them on board.
and it might sting a little to think that not that many people are actually missing out on vanessa because her site is down, but at this point, it's true.

Interscope has nothing to do with Vanessa anymore. They've not been her label for years. The fact is that WHOM EVER the fault goes to is incompetent as a web host. I doubt that V's site is going to have a makeover, and I don't see her CD coming out until probably October from what's happening right now. It sucks, yes, but it's the truth. And that's all.

hmmmm :roll: ... the front page of the site is opening as of now... but it is still showing Hamronium graphics...

But the forum is apparently under design or somethin like that...

Okay, when I type in the web address, it just goes to a different site with that little girl Jojo popping up.

GO VANESSA!

http://www.vanessacarlton.com redirects you to http://www.umrg.com
but http://vanessacarlton.com without the www. gives you the regular site.

We could just as easily be super-anal mods about everything and delete every and any post that might be seen as offensive, controversial, etc. We just like to think most people have the common sense and decency to respect others and participate in the discussions without picking fights and insulting each other.

It is a fact of life that in some course of time you'll have to interact with people you don't agree with. In the real world there isn't anyone to tell you how or how not to interact with them, so we like to think people have learned to be respectful of others, even when you disagree. If not, that is when we need to step in. You guys were asked nicely twice to drop it, and it didn't happen. There were definitely some inappropriate comments made, and now those are gone.

Lets return to the original discussion. -B

good news! I think.....

http://www.vanessacarlton.com no longer re-directs you to a different website!

When i click on CHAT it says "Down for Maintenance."

hmmm, now i know why V hasn't posted a message since December 19.  Hope something goes up soon.

omg, they figured out the webserver configuration!

btw, this has nothing to do with interscope.  She left them, they kept her site up.  When you are assuming a site the receiving host should be ready for it... you can even do clever things like set it up in advance, get everything working, customize your hosts file so when browsing to BOTH www.vanessacarlton.com and vanessacarlton.com it goes to the proper place and TEST all the links.

Whomever is taking over now seems just as incompetent as the past.  That is why this is still an interesting topic of discussion.  The home for a better admin seems to not be the case.
