Title: Curefans.com Anniversary!
Post by: lostflower4 on June 24, 2007, 21:46:41
Curefans.com, one of the largest Cure communities in the world, celebrates its second birthday today. The community, created in 2005, has nearly 1200 members, 23000 messages, and 3400 topics.

Interestingly, Curefans.com was created after the departure (actually, the banning) of the two founding members from another Cure forum. "We wanted to create a better-looking, most organized and open place for Cure fans around the world.”

To accomplish this task, the community offers different services as a gallery, where members can contribute with pictures they took, or other material related to the band. There’s also a blog where users can create and personalize their own space, and a store, where they can buy Cure-related material, and indirectly, contribute to the site’s maintenance.

The success of the community in such a short time may be a result of its openness, organization, as well as the contribution of the members and moderators. Unlike some other sites, moderators come from different cultures and countries â€" such as Australia, Finland, France, Italy, the United States, and Peru.

The community has many interesting Cure-related topics, and since November 2006, it has an exclusive section for sharing lossless audio concerts.

With the recent confirmation of upcoming concerts around the world, the Curefans staff expects even more members in the near future.

Lot of things have happened with Curefans.com in just these two years, and we are sure there will be many more years and good moments yet to come!

:rocker


Regards,

The Curefans staff

NO, THANK YOU!

I LOVE THE PLACE AND I THINK THIS IS THE BEST THING SINCE "CHAIN OF FLOWERS" NEWS SITE STARTED IN 1996!

THERE ARE SO MANY CURE FORUMS AND SITES, BUT THIS ONE REALLY HAS 100% COVERAGE OF ALL THINGS CURE AND 0% OF CURE FANS THAT ARE PURE CUNTS (LETS NOT DROP NAMES FROM OTHER FORUMS AND SITES  :-D)!

SO, I WISH YOU YEARS AND YEARS MORE!

Anyway, happy Anniversary!

Post by: Matti on June 24, 2010, 21:35:10
That's interesting, because in Germany something similar happened - anyone here who remembers uyea.de? I'm not sure as to what the reasons were, but it seems that the forum kinda split up in two: those who were fed up with the mod policies and started their own thing which, IMHO, is a rather lame place. So another congrats for making this a very good forum. And thanks to everyone contributing.

I changed of job position in April and I hardly had any time for my online activities since then. I can't believe 10 years went by. I still remember the activity in the old days, specially during the 4Tour (8 years ago!), so many exchanges of messages and discussions (now replaced by -most of the time- meaningless posts and FB Groups).

I wonder what The Cure will have prepared for us next. Hopefully a few gigs (not in London, please)? We will see.

Long time to Curefans.com!

Yeah, I agree. I can't remember many good "discussions" on FB. (It's good for keeping in touch with some faraway people though.) Another problem is: if you're looking for a link or something somebody shared on FB, it will be difficult to find it again after a few days...  :roll:
