Remember, this site is separate to http://www.mikeoldfield.com As far as I am aware, mikeoldfield.org has not gone down recently. Its working at the moment at least!

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Feb. 07 2003, 15:23 I guess there could be several reasons. One thing's sure, though - there are people who care about it, but maintaining any site of that kind is not without its difficulties. I think it's best that I leave any more of the talking to someone who can act as a proper spokesman for them... Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Feb. 08 2003, 04:59 The point is,it's meant to be "The Official Mike Oldfield Website",so,you would have thought that there would be more info on it,at least the updates from Mike about Tubular Bells,but there is nothing from October last year onwards Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Feb. 08 2003, 08:06 This is where the confusion we discussed recently arises. Presumably Darkstar is meant to be the official MO fansite and MO.com is meant to be his own official site. Personaly I think it would easier all round if they just brought them both together, though I understand why there would be reasons against this. My own thought is that the Darkstar site is a really nicely designed site much, much better than MO.com and it would be brilliant if this site was a lot bigger with a lot more archive content worthy of it's status as the official fansite. I think it's a shame that people outside of the fanbase surfing in on the web will first be drawn to MO.com which I think is a pretty bland unimaginative site IMHO. With potentialy a lot of new people being drawn to Mike's music if the TB release this year is a success it would good if there was a really well put together web page of some description to further capture their imagination.

Man In The Rain Group: Members Posts: 405 Joined: April 2002 Posted: Feb. 24 2003, 15:10 Yeah, no tour dates officially announced. Just Mike saying that he wants to do a premiere concert of the new Tubular Bells arrangement in London, and possibly will tour it in Europe - here's hoping!!!
