seems like you have an idea of what to do, and a plan of how to do it!

i hope you can bring everyone back though, i mean, i am new, but looking through the old threads, i've noticed that this was much more active than it is now.


you've got my vote jess!

Probably find every known video of a performance by Alizée hes that good!

I have the cash and the incentive but not the time needed to do it right. I have a business that takes up 60-70 hours a week.

You guys have no idea how much time you need to put into a board like this one to make it run as well as Brad has. Lucky for Brad, Alizée fans are a pretty easy going bunch.

I have been on boards where the original owner decided to sell it off mainly because of time constraints. The new owner put it up for sale for the same reasons in under six months. I know two boards right now with a serious amount of members and very good reputations that are for sale with no quality prospects. The one has put two or three new owners on probation over the last year or so and had to take it back each time.

Not that they did anything wrong but with the old saying, they bit off a whole lot more than they could handle.

Don't consider purchasing Alizée America just because you have the cash and an ego. If you really want the board make sure you have the time and ambition to do it right.

Hey ALS, thanks for some insight on that.

That's what I was wondering about, what is the behind the scenes work that has to go on to really do a good job.

I realize that Brad probably does not have the time to answer, but if anyone has more info or can just throw me a good link, I would appreciate it.

That's a very good point ALS !! Only one thing though, you forgot to give credit to the mods that help run this an other forums. I don't think Brad or anyone could do without them~

It is pretty much just the Brad and Ben show these days, yeah. They seem to be doing an awesome job on their own, though!

Jess does make a good point, however. I was a mod on Comic Book Resources for quite awhile in its earliest days, and while it was usually fun, it really could be a thankless job a lot of the time.

We do have more moderators, It's Ben and Brad as admins, and CFHollister, Cooney, garçoncanadien, Nurvovic and Mon Maquis as mods.
You might have noticed that most of them are gone .

Nurvonic comes into chat from time too time too.

seems to me that not many people have the time to dedicate themselves to dressing up websites anymore, i barely have time to visit, but i love this fansite, well maybe not love it, but like it enough that i really hope it can continue with its quality. I dont care who buys it as long as this sites quality videos, quality pictures, and its incredibly easy navigatable interface continues, but most importantly, that the people ive met on this site continue being here. I know i havent been on alot at all, but i just like reading all your posts
