Hej hej,
I think there are not many webpages about Roxette on the internet! I mean it’s “Roxette” - not a 0815-band...
It’s a shame.
btw: And the most stupid side is: roxette.se :P

Sommartider is right, most of the sites that closed with Roxette.org didn’t come back. I had a site with them too, and quite frankly I don’t care enough about my site to spend money on hosting and I think most of the others felt the same way. A website is something you make for fun, it shouldn’t have to cost you money. It’s really a shame that a great free service like that closed.

I think one of the best sites about Roxette is czech site http://www.roxette.cz. There are many news, many things for download, raritties.....This site is in english and in german too.

while roxette.org services were for free for you, it wasn’t free for the person that nicely and kindly offered the service: Dan had to pay for the server (PC, which had a bit more specs than any computer you’ll use home, and that is costy), spend the time updating all software to prevent hacking, backups, bla bla bla. And somebody else was paying for all the trafic/internet connection. So it was never FREE, it was simply that the costs weren’t charged to the webmasters.
It was nice while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever. I’ll always be thankful to him as my first sites were hosted there, and that opened a world to me :)
Besides, I don’t know what other hobbies you have, but most of my hobbies cost money Reading (books or library card), music (cds or internet connection), travel, tv, etc etc. :P

Well, if you want to make a page there is allways a way to creat one with out paying, there are some free webhosters...... not for Video DL but for some fotos or interviews it is enough.

No wonder that the roxette mail (mail.roxette.org) has the roxette.org banner unfixed for months.

That’s true for all the free hosting services such as Tripod and Geocities, it’s free for us and they pay the costs. They make their money thru advertising and stuff like that, shame Roxette.org didn’t do the same.

Hmm maybe I’ll look at it, but like I said I’m not that bothered with my site anymore. If I made it again it would be more for other ppl who liked it than it would be for myself. It’s kinda hard to make a site about a woman who doesn’t really do much anymore, and as much as I love Marie the whole fan thing has become really old.

When roxette.org fell, it takes down at least the half of roxette’s sites on the net =(
