R.I.P. Lillytown.
Let's hope I'm wrong about this, but I fear that I'm not...
Brothers and Sisters, lets have a few moments' silence as we pause and remember our former French counterpart, Alizée-Fanclub.Forumactif.net (formerly known as Lillytown Forum, or LTF for short.) Yesterday, MerciAlizée and I had heard rumors that they were thinking of shutting down. Today I go there, and - nothing. They're gone. Poof! A lot of us had joined them there - Roman, Lefty, Inclining Pizza, VVV, HRO, myself and many more. For a while, they were the premiere source to go to for any late-breaking Alizée news. Maybe their biggest problem was a lack of news to report these days. I must say, it was very odd a few months ago, when they suddenly changed the site's name, web address, layout, and theme - back to the exact setup they'd started with in 2006! As if they no longer wished to acknowledge either of Lili's last two albums! True, a lot of the members there remained Mylène-heads down to the bitter end, holding out hope for a new album with MFéLB, but there were still a lot of members that were progress-minded, too. Yesterday, they were still actively discussing the song lineup for their dream UEDS concert series, commenting on the Tel Aviv performance, and all sorts of current issues. And now today- nada. I heard that membership and participation was dwindling over there. But the admins and mods must've had some kind of meetings, or decision-making process, or something, right? MA and I have bee trying to find out more about this revolting development, but details are not coming easily. So I guess this is a thread to share any info any of us discover, and/or to maybe pay final respects. And, at least for the time being, it appears that Psychalizée.forum-actif.net will be continuing their valuable work. I'm gonna go check there in case they've got any light to shed on all this. |

Jesus Christ man! I thought like maybe Alizée had died and fans were committing suicide or something. Or that AAm was coming to an end. JEEZ.
Dear God I hope that doesn't happen here. If something's up, let us know! Communication is the key in such relationships(?). Keep us posted so we can take preliminary action to prevent anything like that from happening here.

They did the same thing a couple years ago (or last year? cant remember), but they actually posted a message in the website explaining why they were shutting down. They eventually came back a couple weeks later.
I'd suggest you to follow them on twitter to find out whats going on: http://twitter.com/AlizeeCommunity Looks like they're coming back with a new forum that is going to be called AlizeeCommunity, I think Sebastien is not gonna be running the site anymore, only Julien et des autres francaises. Why are they shutting down ol good AFC? That I don't know, but I guess its just them not being happy with Alizee's attitude towards her career. Who knows, I haven't read their forum in ages. |

I second that!! Wasabi this place is like a second home for some of us. I would hate for something like that to happen to AAM, but I am sure Ben or any of the others that help govern AAM wouldn't just shut down the site without telling us.

I wasn't very active there but I visited sometimes. It sucks to see a partner website shutdown8-(. I just hope something like that doesn't happen here, I met a lot of awsome people here. This place is like a second home to me.

It's a shame the forum came to an end. I was also a member there, trying to read parts of it, really good for learning french.
A few weeks ago, I noticed some errors over there, so I joined the other french forum "psychalizee". I'm very active there, but only post rarely, one reply takes a lot of effort, but that's the beauty of a french forum. |

At some point, she's going to have to make a decision. Does she want to pursue a musical career, or not? If she does, then it may be necessary to make a certain sacrifice. I will say no more. Ils ont raison. Moi, j'ai une intuition forte, presque la certitude de pourquoi Alizée a l'attitude qu'elle a pour sa carrier, de que je ne peux pas parler, et c'est compréhensible. Mais depuis elle a l'attitude ambigue et les fans en général ne savent pas pourquoi, il semble comme elle n'a rien à faire de ses fans. C'est pas bien. Finalement, elle doit faire une choix. Est-ce qu'elle veut avoir une cariere de la musique, ou non ? Si oui, peut-être c'est necessaire de faire un sacrifice certain. Je ne dirai pas plus.
