This could actually be a good idea...
Anyone volunteers to make a website? (I would, but I haven neither the skills nor the time for it)
Anyway, I think it could be interesting. Not exactly a Korpiklaani fan-club in the groupie-worshipping-lame kinda sense but just a group of people who have common interests and tastes: Korpiklaani, and of course, beer! (and any other fermented alcoholic drinks)
And do you think? Bandmembers, views on this?

Nice idea!!! ;D;D;D I have the skills, will try to have the time, and I think we can start up with one of those free web spaces on the net, like Geocities or such... But what about the contents? We need further discussion on this. I think the thing will grow on... Anyway, it would be good to set if it's going to be an official fanclub or just a meeting place for fans... I think the band wants to wait a little more before setting an official fanclub (and it also involves a lot of legal issues and work)... but it will be nice if it's just a funny page of Korpiklaani + beers! So I vote for this last view... what does everybody think?

Well, I think it shouldn't be an official fan club. At least not yet. Who knows where this'll lead in the future. Anyway, possible contents: (up to discussion of course) The WPBC manifest and philosophy - - Info about Korpiklaani - bio, discography, members, gigs - Beers and Meads of the World - a series of reviews about beers and other fermented beverages. Any member could write a review about a beer he/she liked or hated, or comment on a beer reviewd by other members. This would be extremely helpful while travelling abroad... know which beers are good and which arent. Like a strectured beer thread. - Words of Beer - Texts, lyrics, poems, ramblings - anything written or found by the authors concerning beer or anything else by that matter. Just an open place to express our drunken views of the world. - Club Members profiles - info about each member, including, of course, favourite beers. And anything else anyone come up with. AND COME ON PEOPLE PARTICIPATE!!!! IT'S BEER AND KORPIKLAANI!!! Seems only the latins are alive these days... it makes no sense to go through with this if it's only me, Silvio and Leitilsdal!! Share your views: if you think it's a dumbass idea: GREAT! Say so... if you like it. Join in... WAKE UP!!!! And that's about it...

Well, here I am to fuck it all a bit again First of all, well, it's great to create another page for the group, that's something which is clear... and as you know, when I start writting things this way, this means that I'm going to show the negative part of it ;D so I go: First of all, I think that all this you've been thinking (although being a great idea) it's something which we must be doing here in the forum. In a way, we would be doing in another place what we should be doing here, so I find it a bit pointless. All this activities that Sethlad have proposed are great, but why don't we do it in the forum? Second, my personal experience has tought me that at first everybody is overinvolved with things like this but as time goes on less and less people contribute Third, as Sethlad has said, lately the forum is a bit sleepy, there's only three people who write everyday, so it may end as a three people stuff sharing their thoughts, and this is not positive. I'm trying to say that hardly we've got this forum alive, so I find it a bit difficult to start another one so much similar. Anyway, I've got to say that if we go for it, I'll be the first who will try to help, because I like all the whole idea, it's just that I'm always that fucking and disturbing little voice of conscience But (jeje, my favourite word, which rhymes with butt ) maybe we should try to find a way of integrating this stuff inside the official group page, at least at first and after a while, if we see the stuff goes right, we could independice it and make it the fansite for the band and community member. But ( ) I insist that I like your ideas and I've got to congratulate you! About the second opus of Spirit Of The Forest... congratulations Jonne! We are anxious to have this second job in our hands! I hope the recordings sessions will be OK and I'm sure the work is going to be GREAT and AMAZING, more even than your first effort! SO, all my best desires to the whole group. In Korpiklaani we trust! ANd a great idea that of the diary, we will wait any news impatiently! And this time I've got no "buts"

You are mostly right. But making a WPBC page would have its advantages: 1. If we see it as a fanclub, but non-official, we can say stuff that doesn't compromise the band. 2. The WPBC could involve contents that wouldn't fit in the Korpiklaani main page. 3. Not everybody in this forum is interested in beers of the world (ahum, really??) Personally, I have to 1. Think it further. 2. Get more opinions. But I'm positive about the idea. PS: Sethlad, sorry, yesterday night Hotmail kicked me off so could not chat with you... pity PS2: Play Station 2 PS3: Jonne, GREAT GREAT NEWS!

You made an excellent point Dave. That's why I said in the end of my post, that this only makes sense if more than 3 or 4 people are involved. Otherwise it would quite pointless. I agree wholeheartedly. I still think it would be a good idea and I don't think it would mess with the forum that much... the forum is more of a conversation gathering. The page would be something more... crystalized, more structured. A fan-based Korpiklaani page dedicated to korpiklaani's music and the sweet nectar (beer). Dunno... like Leitilsdal said: gotta have more opinions, or this surely won't go ahead. jonne: GREAT NEWS! New album coming up... excellent. Looking forward for that recording diary. Leitilsdal: No prob man! We'll talk another time...

You are right! Only 4 guys write here every day! But someone have to begin! Maybe some people enter here read the posts and doesn't write anything! I agree, let's wait for other comentaries! I have a lot's of good stuff of Brazillian beer! Sethlad maybe remember the propagandas! ;D About new cd: Great, new stuff! I hope that you'll have a great time in studio! I'm waiting for more news!

there's only three people who write everyday I´d love to write here daily, but as the topic(s) at the moment are mainly beer, me as a no-alcohol-drinking-woman cannot really contribute anything ....

Aaaaaaah come on Twilightheart... don't be demoralized with our drunken selves... like Leitilsdal said.. a lot of alcohol-free topics around...
Well... not a lot of them... but a few!
Anyway, as soon as JONNE STARTS POSTING NEWS ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM HERE FREQUENTLY (wink, wink) I guess this'll liven up.
