The 101% unoffical Sisters of Mercy Homepage

vicus · 06 Nov 2006, 12:02

Finally Ian's site disappeared.

Obviousman · 06 Nov 2006, 12:17

That's the one with all the lyrics?

Damn shame...

Ozpat · 06 Nov 2006, 12:39

Shame....always liked that one...

06 Nov 2006, 15:25

Sad news indeed.

Fortunately, several of the p;ages are still available via archive.org.

Nic · 06 Nov 2006, 15:50

Noticed that a couple of days ago, too bad.

radiojamaica · 07 Nov 2006, 18:41

The Black Alice webpage is gone too...
And I still miss the Back Planet website.

Nic · 07 Nov 2006, 19:02

Yeah I miss those too.
Seams all the good Sisters sites are fading away from us.

Don't think their is a single good resource still out there for Sisters boots for instance.

If only Robin could get his site sorted again...

Ahem.

I'm probably as guilty of being as apathetic to this as anyone else ... but pooling the resources and knowledge of Heartland could make the Sisters Wiki the definitive site for this sort of information...

Yes, you're right, there aren't many decent Sisters sites left, especially sites about bootleg-vinyl & cd's are hard to find...
Good to see the following are still present:
http://home.pages.at/visionthing/cdboots.htm
http://www.geocities.com/lachert108/bootlegs.html

Keep the fire burning, lads

An astute observation, nonetheless.

My Dominion · 24 Dec 2006, 02:03

Yes, it is true that some of the sites are lost.
I also saw that there are some sites who look great at the first moment, but also are not updated for a long time.
That is a pity.
It is almost not to believe that somebody who made such a lot of work and spend such a lot of time in a website does not update it any more and after some time the site will be lost.
Offcourse I realize that it costs a lot of money to hold the site alive and on line.

Some times I wonder if it is not possible to find out who owns such a site.
And help somebody out incase the person in question does not want the site any more.
Maybe somebody else would like to take over the site or give a helping hand.......

And (maybe this question is ask in the past) why is there not here in the Heartland something like that ?

Just wondering.

I have put somethings in my space.
But it is just a start.
And I know "my space" is not the best way and place to make a site.
And yes, I did take somethings from other sites.
If it is yours (dear reader and owner) and you would like to have your (nick) name in the "thanks to" list then please send a PM here on Heartland to me.

You can take a look if you want.

If you want you can leave a reaction. This would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

Also I would like to mention some sites that I visit sometimes to find information and other stuff.

this is really bad news, as i can't find a single resource for all bootleg info anymore...
but:

So, that leaves us HL with a few actions:
- can info of the above mentioned sites be fully recovered in digital format?
- action plan for filling up our http://www.sisterswiki.org/ by (a) systematically transferring information from these and other sites and (b) adding information of our own

Now, all we need is a project manager

There's lots of bootleg info here: http://www.vamp.org/Gothic/Text/sisters-discog.html

you're right, totally forgot about that one
if that info would come in a database instead of an unreadable flat file, that would be great.

and i just noticed today that http://db.tsom.org is down as well. this is a black day in my internet experience

Which handily displays as black text on a black background for me!

lachert · 03 Jan 2007, 16:16

the best site about bootlegs is my own:
http://secondhanduzi.republika.pl/

but you should learn some polish

did you ever see "echo" cover:

Looks like a really nice site, start to translate.

Maybe it will be back updated...

Something clashing between the site and my settings on Firefox maybe? Screenshot:

Tried it but didn't work with me.
If anybody has this, let me know

Oh, and I couldn't reach the discography pages on the archive.org site either.
