It’s on SP.com!
Rumuors there will be asian copies. I have been looking around during my travelling but I have not see any of it on the shelf. And no one in Asia knows about it.
Is the rumours true?[/quote:2b22esk5]
Japan?I bought Billy. He can sings me lullaby. Don’t be jealous

Priceless item that is. Congratulations!
I mentioned spfreaks.com in the caption underneath the picture, so we might get a few more users here

Let’s party!I’m alive and kicking too.
But I have been kinda busy with work and a lot of travelling.
Ideas:
1) How about we distribute flyers to every house so they know about SPfreak.com? Hmmm silly idea huh.
2) Get the members to introduce SPfreaks.com to thier network of friends.
3) Post interesting posts to attract more browsers.
4) Introduce SPfreaks.com in others websites.Hope this help

Yeah it does! What I did long time ago is opening an account on MySpace and spread some SPfreaks bulletins there. Maybe next step is Hyves and so on? Thing is, I don’t have the time to keep all of them updated, so feel free to run away with these ideas!Yeah. And now lean back and see if somebody notices. I think it will spread a little buzz. Wanna bet?
Is this a prank?
[/quote:3d3sji5m]No not yet, but we could make it one maybe. Superlordspamulon, want to upload this pic on SP.com?
Superlordspamulon, here’s a little tribute to you and to Zeitgeist gone gold. Wished this could be done!
I’d like to think you guys contributed to around a third of the overall sales of Zeitgeist
[/quote:2sj413ke]
i’m sure it must be more!we deserve a gold cd version of zeitgeist, just like the caroline employees when gish went gold. ([url:2sj413ke]http://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?page=COLLDETAILS&item=496[/url:2sj413ke])[/quote:2sj413ke]
Absolutely, just my thoughts!Either way, still quite an accomplishment in this iTunes- and download era…
Pretty cool for a start Superlordspamulon! Let me think this over in the weekend, and come back to it in a few days. Maybe you could create a huge banner also in the meantime?
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=LINKS (check the green logo of SP on top and go wild! You get what I mean…
)And we should make a list of websites where we want this posted, right?
Right-click on the SPfreaks pic you want and choose \"Save Background As…\" or \"Save Picture As…\". Creating something new in the \"style\" of SPfreaks would be appreciated too!
And I wouldn’t know about size limitations, as the other websites always give them, or resize it themselves to make it fit on their pages. That’s how I did it also on our Links page.
The issues are mostly on the little pics, when you resize them from Large to Extra Small, they loose quite some contrast and details. Most art people create 2 different versions then, I know. Good luck Superlordspamulon, can’t wait to see the results!
Like this?

Oh by the way, talking about linking… I recently found out SPfreaks got some links on Wikipedia anyway, as we have some items online which are kinda rare (as they say, but it could be right).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_%2 … ns_song%29 (section References links to Perfect Puff Daddy remix CD on our site, which is probably 1 of a kind indeed)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smashi … iscography (Notes 16 links to a rare cassette of Summer)
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smashing_Pumpkins (Dutch Wikipedia links our whole website in \"Externe links\" section!)
But anyway, it’s a good idea to have some more artwork for links too. I see possibilities for a new contest: design 3 different SPfreaks buttons and banners! Bring ’em in!
has it been released already? i had no idea.[/quote:26446mz1]
Cool As Ice Bear was hibernating…Yeah Cool As Ice Cream, I noticed that too, you beat me on writing it down here
There’s something different with Stellar and My Blue Heaven.
Nevermind, I guess you had fun right Fez? And what did the new outfit of the Smashing Pumpkins look like? Did you take pics you wanna share with us? Please? Please? Please?

Actually, I’ve been having trouble recently even being able to access the site. It just won’t load. And when I try from work, we have a T1 connection, so I know it’s not that. Anyone else had these problems?[/quote:1ktclgrd]
Yeah, though the SPfreaks Forum was always online I heard from several sources. How was that at your place manillascissor? Did the forum disappear too? For several days some Dutch provider did probably hard- or software maintenance and forgot to keep http://www.SPfreaks.com online for the whole www. RedWolf called it a "netsplit" (whatever that may be, he couldn’t do anything anyhow). In some parts of NL here the site was always available I heard (Brabant, Gouda), and in other parts (Den Haag, Leiden) it wasn’t. Weird. Hopefully it all works fine now again.Back to Superlordspamulon’s subject. I just LOVE the lay-out of the forum, I hope you all too? Then we don’t have to change that, at least not now. Superlordspamulon, what do you think?
But OK, who of the SPfriends is gonna climb the SPfreaks barricades and make this place undead again? What are the ideas and who has time to work them out and even better: wants to try them out!?
Tomorrow i’ll have my Maths exam… (yeah if you know how to pray, pray for me !)[/quote:oi8pvapg]
‘s speed with you Pipoka!Superlordspamulon, I agree. Hugs to you for your concers for this place!
I try to post as much as I can, but I’m also working on SPfreaks.com, almost on a daily base. The Tour & Recording History that is, not very noticable, but a tough and time-consuming job anyway… I already have the most posts on my name here, I was hoping you guys could set up the threads also here. But we only have around 80 members with only a few of them being regular posters. Amongst them are toad32r, Pipoka, Superlordspamulon, Cool As Ice Cream, lilkitn, manillascissor, BleedingTheOrchid, luxe, TreeSpirit, Pipoka, Fez… Some of those SPfriends haven’t been around for a while lately. And sorry to the guys I forget now!
Yeah, I would hate to see this place going dead also, but it needs more people to stay alive I guess. What can we do to attract more people? The American webmaster is kinda responsible for the forum, but he has an extremely time-consuming professional job also which brings him all over the US, so I couldn’t blame him for not being around all the time… I think we need several hundreds of members, and a daily upload of threads. What’s the plan guys? Shoot!
1 of my ideas would be: more contests. We all love contests, don’t we! Once a month? But who wants to organize it on a regular base? Other idea: Latest Pumpkins news from all over the place, little and big news. Who finds it and posts it here? Maybe the American webmaster needs some help, if so let him spit it out here!
Anyway, Superlordspamulon, I feel your worries, but we couldn’t force people to come here. What can we do to attract them anyway? Bring in Britney Spears and Paris Hilton?
(Uhmmm, no. Rather not please!)
Or they have to pack it in half an hour earlier. Or the tech side is gonna take forever. Or they’re feeling bastard-y
[/quote:21giu1dw]Yeah who knows! We will soon find out! The countdown is going fast now!
More news, this band is the support act @ Brabanthallen. Check their tour list!
The Smashing Pumpkins concert at Brabanthallen starts at 19:30 instead of 20:00, according this email I received yesterday.

Jan 28 (1 day ago)Geachte heer/mevrouw,
De aanvangstijd van de Smashing Pumpkins d.d. 18-02-2008 is aangepast van 20:00 uur naar 19:30 uur.
Ik vertrouw erop u te hebben geïnformeerd.
Met vriendelijke groet,

(it means the Pumpkins will play an extra half hour?

WHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!Hey Ash, welcome. Instead of emailing use your scarse time on the board here so we can all enjoy your stylish posts. For example, tell us where you are from, and what you are doing in virtual life. It might make it very clear why you can use the
without having "permission". Oh, by the way, new forum rule. SPfreaks contest winners can also use the
smiley from now on.Rock on!
ArthurIn a way Return To Comfort is right. Other documentaries on Discovery or National Geographic showed other visions on this Twin Towers terror case, and also other visions on that collapse effect. Sorry, I don’t know the details. And I’m no building/demolition expert also. So I couldn’t tell which party is right and which party is wrong. And I watched that whole 9-11 thing also live on tv when it happened…
However, and I go all the way with Superlordspamulon here, go watch that documentary. Don’t be influenced by the brainwashing (shock-)effects (that’s what I have VERY much against these type of documentaries) and the very 1-sided point of view. Do not take their answers for granted or even for truth, because I don’t believe it is the truth they are telling. But at least it gives another view, and some questions remain…
And, forgive me (or not), but I do believe that some people, powerful people, are willing to kill their own citizens for more power, more money, or just out of pure evil. History showed it happens. I couldn’t tell however if it happened in this case… Anyway, judge for yourself!
