Hmmm this formatting problem comes and goes, it's gonna be a right bugger to find out what is wrong!
Least I know it's not just me who gets it

Been thinking maybe we need a bit of interest around here to get the place more active, so I'll be looking what project I can get going again...

Things that sadly had to stop were the 'Not Enough Paper In The World' Fanzine & The Story So Far CD, shame really as both were a really promising stages at the time.

Maybe a CD project would be the best?
Could try and resurrect The Story So Far and have it as say Vol.1 and have everything up to Falcon?
With everything up to the 3rd album as Vol.2?

Any other ideas or suggestions on getting S&C a bit more active?

I'd do a b-sides CD. if its legal for you to do that? then run some form of competition for it.

We could write a biography i know a lot of people on here who know loads about their history and that then we could all write at the end about what the bands means to each of us

[Rosie]

A biography is quite a cool idea

A biography would not be a good idea I'm afraid, we were trying to do something along those lines in the failed fanzine and too many people came out with personal stuff about the band and their families!

The idea was to have some sort of timeline/history/story of the band but it got out of hand that much I ended up with a message from Liam about it.
Anyway, let's just say that idea stopped and then fanzine idea just died when I was out of work as I just couldn't afford the laser printer needed to print it out properly

I made the "St. Jude" B-Sides cover art , well it didn't take much to time really haha... anyway, we'd never be able to have a proper CD and that's why I made the cover at the time

[Sean]

hmm, i can't think of anything. maybe worth having a look around other well known forums and seeing what other things they've got?

[spiralxstatic]

so the b-sides thing is a massive no-go then? its not like we are charging for it. you'd just be putting a nice wrapper on things we all have.

[chezza]

Dear oh dear....do you want me to put them all in detention daz...the behaviour is appauling!

[Rosie]

So is your spelling *Appalling

Yes I'm afraid so, I know all the past CD's were totally free but they didn't feature any official tracks, they were sourced from gig videos, quality of the tracks were low, I think that's why we've never had any trouble from the label.
Start putting out anything we want could cause friction, look at the bother I had trying to make a forum t-shirt and that only had a courteeners logo & silhouette of the band! (with our added bits)

I've been thinking I don't want to resurrect The Story So Far CD project yet, it's more complicated than a standard CD so I'll start a new thread in projects to get our ideas together for what we could do

Edit:

Just seen the St. Jude Live thread, where I suggested we could have a compilation of live tracks before the release of Falcon but it never took off, have a read and post if you up for it
