Alizée-Forum vs AlizeeAmerica

[Jake04]

At first, I wished there were only one Alizee fan forum. That way we'd have a more accurate count of how many active fans she really has. Also, it's kind hard for some to search for all Alizee-related news/articles. It would have been nice to have a "one-stop Alizee site" where you could get all your Alizee fix! It really makes you appreciate fans like Jenny, Karin, Katherine and others who post their videos not just in their own sites or forums but on multiple sites as well.
But, now I realized that is not possible and that's perfectly fine with me. And even though I'm not a member of other forums, I do follow/subscribed to most of them on fb and tweeter. I'm glad that they continue to compliment one another.

I couldn't agree with you more. It's wonderful that there are people who are willing to share. Maybe I don't say it often enough, but I am truly grateful to them.

And I am grateful to the mods and admins in here that let us express ourselves, even if in some occasions we criticise their decisions or even some lili decisions...
We don't say it often enough!

If you make the place too restrictive then people don't feel they can express their views and opinions openly. Diversity occurs naturally when the board has a feeling of openness. People feel welcome to express themselves with out the fear of offending someone because of their opposing views on the subject at hand. It can't be a free for all but limits that are broad enough so members don't feel they have a Catholic Nun standing over them with ruler just trying to find a reason to crack their knuckles.

I've been to AF a few times but I've never joined, and I don't think I will either, keeping up with Alizée on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and AAm is enough, I can't imagine adding AF to that. I agree that AAm is like a family for (at least most of ) its members, we had a Family Tree all worked out back in the old Flashchat days. I'm sure AF members feel at home there as well. I'm also very thankful we have members who are part of both, and share info, news and media back and forth.

I've seen this picture painted of AF many times, and as much as I like to be fair to people, I can't shake it from my head.

Well, all the latest is always on AF, and while there is normally 5 to 20 members online on Aam, the number never goes under 10-15 on AF .

Even though I personally find more fun on Aam than on AF, I think both boards have their qualities and that they should be fused into one to avoid splitting the fan community

AAm and AF have different qualities because of their rules, policies and methods of moderating discussions. This in turn, attracts different types of members to each respective site. Some members function well in both environments and some don't.

Fusing the sites together would require one site to take on the culture, style and qualities of the other, which means, in effect, you would be losing one site and gaining nothing. You would get the same result by simply closing one site. Members would just disappear or switch to the site that is left.

I would argue that both sites are simply one click away if one wants to check out both of them. Having 2 different sites serves a broader range of users.
