Let war begin. Can we please get rid of Ruby, and instead have Siva go through to the next round? Thank you.

Let’s check if they play the Smashing Pumpkins song from the official soundtrack…[/quote:2ppvogz4]
Nope.

[Arthur]

This movie is going to be aired in a few minutes on Dutch TV. Let’s check if they play the Smashing Pumpkins song from the official soundtrack…

[Arthur]

Amazing!

Epic return, blue!

[Arthur]

i think it was you guys trying to find pictures of me epic fail [/quote:3l58o9rt]
I think you misunderstand. Since there are no pics of you online (as far as we know), and certainly not on our website, they can and will not be directed to our website via a search engine when they enter "blueczarina" in there, for a picture search. Epic fail explanation, blue.

But the question remains anyway, why so many people search for you, blue… Are you lost?

[Arthur]

those top keywords confuse me [/quote:2jf07dfu]
People are always looking for you, obviously

cool research arthur. [/quote:2jf07dfu]
Thanks. I happen to come across that Alexa site by accident, but it has pretty cool info. About the statistics, I was surprised to see HU and SP.com.ar so high, and Ozphoria so low in the ranks.

And about our position… there are over 230,000,000 websites worldwide (see: ), so we are in the top 1.8% of the internet worldwide. Just to put things in a global perspective…

[Arthur]

OK, so how are we doing, traffic wise? Alexa.com tells us.

We, SPfreaks.com, are # 4,130,620 on the Alexa Traffic Rank.

And what about our fellow Smashing Pumpkins websites on the Alexa Traffic Rank? How do they rank? And since when are they online? All known info from Alexa below. I put in some of the venues where the Smashing Pumpkins played in the early days (1988), just for fun & reference…

# 45,195 SmashingPumpkins.com (22-May-1998)

Worthwhile to mention: # 461 Elpumpko.Tripod.com (29-Sep-1994) *2. No known websites for Chicago 21, Avalon and Annie May Swift Hall. Top keywords driving traffic to SPfreaks.com from search engines, according to Alexa:

-mellon collie red vinyl
-chicago tapes and unreleased demos
-dpro 11555 smashing pumpkins
-the hero needs eggs jayne cobb
-panic founder interview
-smashing pumpkins 92 poster
-smashing pumpkins
-tsp hub netphoria
-blueczarina
-horus zeiggeist

* 1
Online since-info not listed on Alexa.com.

* 2
This is a joke, kinda. Tripod.com lists # 461 website worldwide, and this little Spanish Smashing Pumpkins fansite profits of that. I’m sure no-one knows about it…

From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit )

\"In computer networking, specifically Internet (for example, SPfreaks.com vs rest of the world), netsplit is a term used to describe the disconnection of a given family node from the previously established family network or between two family nodes. As an SPfreaks.com family network is an undirected acyclic graph, a split between any two nodes splits the entire network into two pieces. As a result some nodes can not connect anymore for a while, or have an unstable connection to the rest of the family.\"

Sounds like the story of my schizo life!

[Arthur]

haha, i made a thread about this on tp.net.[/quote:195fgvpj]
And someone over there said something I liked

"I like it, especially the purple. It all fits with the psychedelic vibe, and reminds me somewhat of Gish (albeit brighter). Seeing as this is a new beginning for Billy, that makes sense. Also, he may be aiming to reclaim the throne wearing the colors of royalty."

yeah, Marquis is lame comparatively.[/quote:2grtgaqx]
Hey now…

[Arthur]

except Marquis In Spades, that song is unimportant.[/quote:2tj4utq2]
You are the only one thinking that, the rest of the SPfreaks family loves it!

Now, let’s all, except Ayoe that is, sing along…

["Rolling…" "I was just on another planet for a sec…"
"Run it back, Mole… (amp on) …fucker…"]

And I’d love you to notice
I’m devoted
To destroy for no one
Now it’s that time again to take revenge
On all the debutantes and their friends
The bitter charlemagnes so self-absorbed
The bodily remains such a bore

Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah

And all I see is empty
‘Cause now I’m one of them
So adored
The slink of impotence
That money can afford
We know who you are and where you live
Is your innocence all that you can give

Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah

In the back of the car
The angel dust was given back to the stars

Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah

And in this fall from grace
We’ll meet again
Another time another place
I’ve been down deep in you and me
Let’s see where we can go
Yeah yeah yeah
Angels, barbed wire
Fuck you, desire

[Arthur]

I think it’s not your problem, but some weird tech thingy on the internet somewhere…

[Arthur]

awww such a cute new kitty [/quote:27bxf8dr]
Cute? It’s EVIL!

[Arthur]

I’m so pissed. I’m posting from my phone right now because my home computer won’t open up spfreaks anymore and my school computer won’t either. I don’t get it. Any thoughts?[/quote:tbezdb5r]
Funny (not so), I had the same issues at home, while SPfreaks was available at work. At home I noticed that SPfreaks.com was available sometimes, and the forum was not, at some moments! Weird… It seems to go better now, luckily.

[Arthur]

Poor Martha.Was hopeing it would make it.[/quote:2joslqj2]
Strong competition this round…

I’m hoping all songs starting with an "S" will make it, they are the best! But it will be a voting war before we know it…

Worth the watch. Eye was written for Shaquille O’Neal.[/quote:yx2v7j5s]
I just watched it, now I will survive today.

Also cool to see some early video footage of their new drummer.

[Arthur]

Yeah. Billy hinted something \"The EP’s will be more like mini-box sets rather than your normal cd single. We may also offer other variations for sale, say for example a digital single with a demo version of a song.\" And I also wonder about the promos…

And shouldn’t the first song(s) become available around now?

Another cool find.

It is a Malaysian pressed promo though, for spreading in Asia maybe.
