I alluded to this in another thread about the search functionality, but I wondered how this place will cope when the tour actually starts.

Will it be an up to date resource for all the latest shows, or are we going to wait for best sources.

I would imagine that the traffic will increase massively and we will become inundated with people begging for boots 2 hours after a show has finished. Are we going to set a 48 rule in place to stop this to some extent. I know that during the last tour we tried to implement that on Interference.

Just a few thoughts to get some discussion going.

This place already existed during the last legs of the Vertigo tour, no problems there. A lot of extra visitors, but luckily not people begging for bootlegs. What we did and probably still gonna go is when the first source pops up we upload it and post it, and when a better source pops up, we replace it.

yeah, i'm just thinking that at the start of a tour it's 100x worse!
Not that i'm being all dramatic or anything, it just bugs me when people start demanding boots immediately!

Great site by the way, a true achievement

I will renew the site before the new tour and maybe even before the new album, I'll see what I can do to make it more organised

Some good ideas there chrissybaby.

The 48-hour thing sounds sensible.

No doubt Remy will have it covered. He's not let us down so far...

I personally cannot wait. I remember searching for all up to date news for each gig every day. It was great. It was great fun waiting for new boots to popup and all. I remember listening to UK radio and hearing talk about the Twickenham gigs. That summer was great.
