Does anyone else feel that since TDR changed its look it has all slowed down a bit...? Less replies, less new topics, less everything...
Furthermore, the news items seem to have vanished totally! That’s something that I, for one, find very odd. In my opinion, you should get news reported from Germany or the States where the news is happening at the moment: the RTL performance, the forthcoming US release of “Hits” etc. The site seems rather dead at the moment. roxette.se is no good either. What’s going on, really?

I think animalkingdom has voiced the fears of quite a few The Daily Roxette subscribers. I also find it strange: it’s almost the week since the front page was updated. But we can’t blame the staff, they have their private lives as well.
As for the part of less replies, well, I haven’t noticed it. Well, maybe it’s just because everyone calmed down about Roxette anniversary. On the other hand, the site looked much better in orange ;)

this site’s a shocker. Its ugly, bland and depressing to come to compared to the old TDR. Maybe Per has a new homepage too?
As far as the news goes, it would be nice if they described each unreleased demo each Monday. But instead they have completely ignored them since they have come online. You would think it has something to do with Roxette and would be news worthy?

I must admit that I visit TDR by far not so often anymore.
I think it’s not as pleasant to look through all the posts as it used to be just because of the lay out which is still really bothering me. I can’t get used to it like I hoped. A real shame.....

Sorry, I still don’t like the new design... And since there isn’t much news I hardly ever post in the smalltalk section these days... I have a life outside Rox-forums and this life keeps me quite busy...

crashroxer said on December 3, 2006 15:45:
Yeah, I totally agree, animalkingdom!!!
Since they changed the whole layout - TDR is really DOWN. I mean, you can see the ’posting-stats’. No one is here ... me aswell. I don’t like it at all. It looks sooooo horrible. Ok, this is MY opinion. I’m sorry for that. But, i want the old one back *sigh*
ATLTK said on December 3, 2006 18:51:
agree with all. It was much better before they changed it, please change it back to basic
Roxwriter said on December 3, 2006 19:17:
I agree.
Well not about the news bit... but with all due respect the look/feel of this place is really unappealing, uninviting and just awful.
No longer a must-visit site for me.

Yeah, i think most of the people here thought the same...
roxtexanet said on December 3, 2006 20:02:
Funny, I thought people came here for the news and discussions. Turns out they just liked the colours...
Even funnier is the fact that people can berate each other and are routinely verbally-abused for posting their thoughts in SmallTalk, but as long as it was orange it was “inviting” and “warm.” Interesting - two words I would never have used to describe this forum no matter what colour scheme was chosen.

What would you describe it as then? Sport, diversion, waste of time? ;-)

Orange... I miss it... :/
I hope this new packed will show its potential someday “soon”..

tdr forums are much friendlier than they were some years ago...

So what do you want us to write? Yes, Roxette performed on RTL. Yes, there will be an US release of the album.
That isn’t really enough material for an article. Or maybe you want us to write one-sentence stories so you whine about how short the articles have become?
If you guys have news tips (or even better, full articles), you can use the contact form to send us a message.

roxeteer, i get your point, but i’ve seen news articles written on a lot less! It would be nice to be kept up to date on what is happening in Rox World, TV appearances, etc. Not everyone will visit the discussion pages.
Roxeanne said on December 6, 2006 10:10:
People are still in grumpy mode ever since the RoxBox came out I guess... Get a grip, folks, the TDR has seen many great outfits and this is one of them! Changes are part of life.
And as for the no news: Promotion is boring, Roxette know it, we know it and TDR cetainly knows it. So no wonder there are no news.
And oh yeah: If there was anything interesting to discuss about, there would be more replies, but for this we have to wait till Roxette do sth. interesting... Or we can get a life and be happy that everyone is healthy and happy.
Sascha said on December 6, 2006 10:44:
No, the RoxBox battle is forgotten. Now they’re grumpy because TDR changed it’s looks (to the worse). ;-)
I don’t think that promo is boring for the fans. We get to see them performing on TV, some even met them personally! Isn’t that something? Maybe someone who got to meet them could report about it for the rest of us.
Personally I’m waiting for news about the Reveal single, since radio is already picking up airplay. Obviously TDR has to wait for EMI’s press release with info about release date, remixes, cover, tracklist, possible video etc. but maybe there’s a possibility to get an update from PG himself..?

After what we did? I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one hacking into TDR!!

Absolutely same feeling. Sorry.
