When you try to enter http://www.roxette.se you will be automaticly redirected to the SOAP site! STRANGE!

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Maybe not so strange... ;)

Bunio said on :

i’m surprised, but i hope that roxette.se will return updated after SOAP-promotion...

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Return?

Bunio said on :

why not?

tevensso (moderator) said on :

The roxette.se was a crap site, nothing to be missed. Wait to see what will happen. I think you may like.

Bunio said on :

i see :) tell us something more!! Will roxette.se point to TDR?:D

P.S.
You missunderstood me, i also think that roxette.se was a crap. It should be re-designed and updated regurarly

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Ha ha, aha, I get it. No I can’t tell you right now, but I think it will be a pleasant surprise.

marcusvandeursen said on :

surprise? does this mean there’ll finally be an integrated site about per (soap), marie, roxette and gyllene tider (as the forum in the soap website somehow already seems to indicate)??

Bunio said on :

only God... I mean, Tevensso knows that :P

Rox-Van said on :

;)the world went mad:P

n-Somnia said on :

Me thinks Tev knows something. ;)

Jud (moderator) said on :

you’ll have to wait and see.. :D

*Eyes semi-shut in suspicious gaze*

RobS said on :

now that is odd...

Can we get some sort of a hint of whats going on??

ally77 said on :

It’s a big secret!

Zargo said on :

couple more vids at the official site... they’re cool :)

PeterGm said on :

obvious what is going to happen i think :)

arnie said on :

he he... roxette will release another greatest hits album... what a surprise!

yellowtigger said on :

Maybe SOAP is the new project for Per and Marie and all these people!!!!!!!! o_0

And they will release lots of new material with this new name!!!! Per, Marie, Helena, Crhis....

Maybe Roxette died, but SOAP is beginning!!! :D

Why not?

ratpack said on :

Never this is a real Per Project

japeke said on :

arnie: :-P

rox-kuryliw said on :

roxette is marie and per, not per, i think this a huge insult to roxette and marie fans. Per is trying to sell himself via name roxette. i dont like .

Breathe8 said on :

MARIE and PER will be always ROXETTE!!!!!!!

And ROXETTE never die!!

tevensso (moderator) said on :

@rox-kuryliw: Are you on drugs? Per never called himself Roxette... :S

steven said on :

I agree with rox-kuryliw.

To the casual fan, this redirection of Roxette.se to >> sonofaplumber.com will give the wrong impression.

Roxrider_USA said on :

@tevensso: lol, that was hilarious! lol

Carlos E., New York.

m-cvk said on :

well, I feel there’s something in the air.

Maybe Marie is working on her D.O.A.P. (I do not suggest anything when it comes to pronouncing it though) - album > Daughter Of A Postman... a kinda ’sister’-album for the SOAP-album ;-)

japeke said on :

@tev: i also agree with rox-kurlyblabla.... Roxette is marie AND per, but now THEIR site is redirecting to HIS site... so roxette.se is about a gessle-project.

But who knows what we’ll get back.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Regardless what will happen; is the old roxette.se a site that ANYONE will miss??

m-cvk said on :

Nope, no one will miss it...that’s for sure!

Roxrider_USA said on :

@tevensso: Old ... so old ... ;-)

Carlos E., New York.

Bunio said on :

no, roxette.se died the same day it was born, unfortunetely. Hoping to see sth better...

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Ha ha, now it’s new!

jobarth said on :

Do you want to tease us German fans? “Bald müssen Sie nicht mehr warten...”

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I don’t sprechen anymore so I’m innocent. But I laughed my ass off...

Tobben said on :

Funny ;)

n-Somnia said on :

The old roxette.se site should’ve been called thepophits.com, because that’s all I could find there. :P

chrisjankunas said on :

:S Something strange is going on - I hope it is good news !

Room_service said on :

Roxette.se was used for promotion purposes. First for The Ballad Hits, then for The Pop Hits when it was out. It was a nice site, somehow. I still have some wallpapers and screensavers, that I downloaded from that. The design was very cool, and up-to-date. I wonder why people is complaining the site was never updated. Nothing else happened about Roxette since The Pop Hits, what did you want?

Max-Tob said on :

maybe it has something to do with the fact that pg is in NY right now, trying to set that wanted rox-collection (he spoke about it in q&a section, remember?)...but he’s also there to lay soap on few important desks i suppose (hope i didnt get it wrong from the article...my swedish is poor)...so...in the end, maybe roxette.se will be indeed a special department in soap site...or don’t know...maybe per wants to gather the projects together somehow...did you read what he said about working with marie in the future? I think he said he himself read in the paper that marie would kinda want to continue with roxette, because he didn’t know it...But do not let yourself des-informed by a french guy whose Swedish is of any good...read the article for yourself and translate it for all of us PLEEEAZZZ

Bunio said on :

“Nothing else happened about Roxette since The Pop Hits”

So all news since 2003 on TDR were LIES??? :) c’mon few things happened for sure!

n-Somnia said on :

@Room_service: It had hardly any, if any information on the previous releases. Some people like reading about the back catalog sometimes. Gives us an idea on what to look for. ;)

JoyRidErno said on :

...Is it possible to have closing tags for body and html on roxette.se or on sonofaplumber.se... Whole code is awful... Have the coding guy ever heard about validator?

( http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonofaplumber.se%2F&c... )

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I checked my own site with that validator, and my whole site is built with Dreamweaver or FrontPage, and it had as many errors as soap.se. And frankly, when I read the “errors” they have found I disagree with most of them.

PeterGm said on :

two quick things.... why would this string start in the first place?? @jobarth: are you that bored that you even check roxette.se?? :P

hehe...

Re: validator.... if the site works...it works...my pergessle.net seems to have 82 errors..and most arent even errors....

rox-kuryliw said on :

tevensso no i dont take drugs, just to let you know, how rude.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Rude? I wonder who’s rude here.

chrisjankunas said on :

Well it surely isnt me ;)

JoyRidErno said on :

If you code, then why not code with rules...?

www.visakopu.net is good example how to code right ;)

Yes, I am a programmer... My problem ;)

Jud (moderator) said on :

I’m a programer too but I guess not that picky ;)

rox-kuryliw said on :

tevensso how am i rude if thats what your insinuating ? you asking if im on drugs ? im saying i think thats a insulting question to ask!. your a moderator not a judge of personal character lol.

sade75 said on :

Perhaps it is an advance that comes to us from Roxette.
¡THIS IS A GOODS AUGURY!

onlywhenidream said on :

I’m not a programmer - I have no idea what you guys are taling about re: coding. I am a son of a plumber. ;o)

Roxrider_USA said on :

How the heck did we get into coding?

I guess that next, someone will be checking the programers life history. Some crazy stuff pops up in this so beloved TDR of ours.

The question, is the something as or . They have the some conotation, or meaning, if you will. So, i really don’t see what’s so rude about that. But i guess we should excuse people that think those expressions are so called “rude”. After all, their beliefs, values and way of thinking are different.

Sorry, i should stop here. Getting way off track. Let’s go back to the discussion at hand. Not talking about the coding jargon. ;-)

Take care!

Bunio said:

“So all news since 2003 on TDR were LIES??? :) c’mon few things happened for sure!”

Those were not news about Roxette as a group. Since roxette.se was intended to promote the group called “Roxette” and their lastest release (The Pop Hits, and The Ballad Hits before), those news about Per/Marie/GT careers would be totally out of place there.

Roxrider_USA said on :

@Max-Tob: That’s what i got from the news article too. So, if we are correct, a decent Roxette compilation is going to be released here sometime in the near future.

And also, SOAP could be released here if there’s enough interest. Wow! Hopefully there will be. Let’s see.

Carlos E., New York.

Max-Tob said on :

Carlos, WATCH OUT, man! He’s in your neighbourhood!!! Make sure you won’t bump into him! hahaha

XRezs said on :

Yes, the old site conatined only Pop Hits promo stuff, but Google still ranks roxette.se #1 in the search results!

I think currently some new inforamtion-hungry fans feel embarrassed when they see the official website with this nice, unformated welcome screen, telling ’Bald müssen Sie nicht mehr warten...’.

Roxrider_USA said on :

@Max-Tob: I know. I think i bumped into him coming from college yesterday afternoon. He seemed to be listening to Jo-Anna Says. lol

Btw, where do you live?

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

Wonder what the site is gonna turn into. Tev knows that the people here don’t want another Greatest Hits album, so he wouldn’t say “I think you’ll be pleasently surprised” if it was another GH album. Quite intriguing though!!!

Roxcat said on :

heja,

Just wanted to visit roxette.se and still waiting :)

Anyway...

Good luck !

Greetings,

Cathy

hotblooder said on :

it says : “Bald müssen Sie nicht mehr warten...”

japeke said on :

@hotblooder: really?

@pwbbounce: Sharp! think so too...

jo-anna said on :

soon in roxette terms?
but then i guess 2006 and the anniversary is classed as soon?

Oliver said on :

On roxette.se it says: “Bald müssen sie nicht mehr warten...”

German language on a swedish website?

I’m totally confused, but that’s nothing new.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

The doors have opened.

rox-kuryliw said on :

Why on earth hasnt ’Marie’ got her own section link like per and GT have ect ect ?

per_mson said on :

Because she is not Per Gessle! It is about HIS projects!!

Bunio said on :

WOW!! NEW SITES ARE GREAT!

Roxfever said on :

But now on roxette.se (like on GT&PG.com) there is a link to a forum which on the one hand is the Soap-forum but on the other hand now seems to be kind of an official forum about everything and everyone related to Roxette, Gessle and SOAP (and I’m 100% sure there would be a link to this forum if there was an official site like these about Marie). If Gessle gets his own section on a forum that from now on is an offical forum about Roxette Marie deserves one as well.

(And btw., if the soap-forum hab been a “real” soap-forum, the sections about GT, Per Gessle and Roxette should have been deleted because soap is soap and neither Gessle nor GT or Roxette )

tevensso (moderator) said on :

So you can write about her in the Roxette part of that forum then?

Bunio said on :

ok tevensso why don’t you upload all the pictures from Gallery at soap.com and gessle.com in good quality on TDR? We all know that you have them all or at least most of them :) don’t be mean! :) share them with us!

Grasi said on :

“Because she is not Per Gessle! It is about HIS projects!!”

Since then WWW.ROXETTE.SE should be only about Per Gessle projects? If it was www.gessle.se, it would be ok, but it isn´t... For me it´s insulting that Marie didn´t get a section about HER projects. A lot of fans from all over the world will access www.roxette.se and will be pleased to know about every release related to Roxette... except Marie´s ones.

LoneGunman said on :

Wow... very cool. Finally a site worth visiting.
Congrats to the webmaster. :)

PeterGm said on :

i agree about this whole thing being about Per... the whole soap.com/gesslecom/roxettese/gtonline.com (pity about gtcom :P) is about HIS projects....

however i do understand that there should at least be a link to MarieFredriksson within roxette.se....but, hang on.... does she have an official website?? hmmm... when that happens, then she may get a spot too...

on the other hand...doesnt Per own the rights to the name “Roxette”?? :) haha, i feel flames coming my way... im joking kids...dont burn me!

Breathe8 said on :

It´s a really great site!!!

In these times a lot of stars have got own official websites. What a pity Marie not.

Kiwein1 said on :

Well, her “label” does with www.maryjane.se. Actually, I think that she doesn’t really care about internet, on the other hand it’s really strange that there isn’t a MF section on roxette.se. Another inconsequent thing that I don’t get at all.

I like the new design/style though, good work, thanks to all who made it possible.

rox-kuryliw said on :

tevensso why on earth are helping with the daily roxette ect if you dont like marie lol ? ? If you like roxette you have to like both ? ? roxette is 2 you cant seperate them as one in roxette.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Sure, I can like Roxette but not Marie. Not a problem, but then I’m not really a freak...
However, I do respect Marie.

rox-kuryliw said on :

a freak ? whats that to do with anything lol, ow dear! and to be honest i dont see its poss to be a roxette fan not lime either per or marie, i like the both ? Marie more than per, but i still think he’s good.

Grasi said on :

“Well, her “label” does with www.maryjane.se. Actually, I think that she doesn’t really care about internet, on the other hand it’s really strange that there isn’t a MF section on roxette.se.”

Well this not about Marie caring or not about internet, neither about if Tevensso likes Marie´s solo work or not. It´s about the FANS who will acccess the site, after seeing the url on the Roxette CDs, and will find an incomplete site: all projects related to Per, nothing about Marie.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

The site isn’t incomplete... What are you talking about?? It has all information needed about ROXETTE...

ratpack said on :

Roxette is Per and Marie not only Per
What have do for a Problem with Marie? Why don´t like you Marie?
it´s just a question i interested me.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Jesus, this will be the very last time I explain this:

Per owns the new sites. He pays for them. ROXETTE is on the site, as well as Per’s other projects.

Yes, Marie is in Roxette, and Roxette is still on the site. With me so far?

All about Roxette is on the site, or will be, as well as Per’s solo stuff - separately.

Marie is not a Per-project and is therefore not on the site.

And it has nothing to do with me liking Marie or not.

LoneGunman said on :

Well, I think that this discussion is over after Thomas explanation... let´s forget about this Per x Marie thing and enjoy the new album.
My copy is on the way... yeahhh

shannyn77 said on :

Well after Tev’s (so nice) explanation, I guess you can’t say anything else.................

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Didn’t mean to be rude, just clear. :)

Sascha said on :

From the providers point of view Tevensso’s explanation is of course logical. But still, from a users perspective it’s weird:

You go to an official website to find everything about a band called Roxette. You see the group is having a break and look for their solo projects: Aha, Per Gessle is doing SOAP right now. But what about that blonde singer Marie? What’s up with her?

You see, the general user does expect Marie info as well... Shouldn’t be a too big problem if the site was payed by Roxette Recordings, management and label are the same anyway.

RobS said on :

I like whats been done, and it makes sense the way its been setup. But I’d still like to see Roxette have their “own” site. That way that site could link to Marie’s own site/s and Per’s as well.

rox-kuryliw said on :

im glad some people see my point ,

maybe its a spot light thing ? marie wants to get out of it more (god knows why?) , and per is trying for solo worldwide stardom on his own , i dont know just a thought.
