Thanks Brian.:mad: :mad: :mad: I was just on Chris' site about 5pm, and it was fine. Could it be the "6 month instigator", to whom we were referring? I hate hackers!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Annoying though Gail |
This is just an update. Pip got back to me this morning. She said that the last few times she has e-mailed the administrator of the site, Gavin, she received no response back from him. So she is going to try to find a contact e-mail for Sanctuary Records to let them know what happened. It looks like they have lost all interest in that website. That pretty much explains why that Q & A died too.

Remember, people, these are musicians who have essentially no interest in Internet presence or activity. Mick probably keeps his site running peripherally only as a future outlet for any additional business ventures he engages in. In Christine's case, she had absolutely no reason from her perspective to keep a Web presence beyond the immediate release of that CD. But, people, get with the program. We don't NEED them to have them on the Web, if you get what I'm saying. We keep Christine alive by talking about her. She doesn't do that. She doesn't even help. In fact, she doesn't even hear about it. BUT WE KEEP THE CHRIS LEGEND ALIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THOUSANDS!! if you could but see it ... Sure, it might have been nice to see her answers to the questions. But on the other hand, it might have been REALLY boring & pointless (Stevie's ongoing Q&A, anyone?). |

As for her website...I didn't think it would still be around 2 years after ITM was released. I think Sanctuary & Chris(I assume that she's still paying for it) have probably forgotten about it. Official websites are NEVER as good as fan sites, so it shouldn't really be a surprise what happened with her site. |
Christine's website
I haven't been able to access Christine's website for the last day or two. It looks like either they took it down or it's being moved. Unfortunately, I think it's probably gone.:(

Looks like it's gone or maybe Martin Wyatt is setting up a new one (this is where I usually wake up) Gail |
Yep, I just noticed it, too(before checking here). I'll bet that it's done.:shocked:

Quote:
Not that it matters, it's probably gone anyway. That website was up for nearly 3 years. I don't know how these things work, but I assume that Chris still owns the domain name, ChristineMcVie.com. |
Quote:
But as you say not that it matters none of the other pages are working. Gail Edited 13:30. the domain name is registered until July 2007. I daresay they'll re-register it just to stop someone else using it. I don't think we'll see another website. I don't think Christine is into any interaction with her fans. Sigh! |
Now I can't into the Home page!
Bum! Gail |

Oh and what's that about her nephew's computer gone forever?????? :confused: |

I equally sure that Sanctuary don't give a toss anymore. Christine is probably still writing but I very much doubt if she'll ever record again. Let's face it - she's retired Gail |
Quote:
Thanks Christine, for all the wonderful music you've brought into my life. Quite literally, the soundtrack to my life. You are/were/will always be - the heart of Fleetwood Mac.:xoxo: To me, there IS no Fleetwood Mac, without you.:) |

I second that. Gail |
I'm getting The Official Home of Virgin Steele when I type in the address now!
Jesus what next? Gail |
http://www.christinemcvie.com/links.asp
The URL is apparently owned by Sanctuary, as they've given it to another band of theirs.:( |
Quote:
Can they do that? Gail |
Quote:
Well, it's official. I'm finally deleting BOTH of my Chris Forum bookmarks. The real one, and the "patched" one we had. :( |

This is very bizarre. I've never heard of Virgin Steele. Obviously, Sanctuary is behind Chris' website disappearing. How can they have ChristineMcVie.com if Chris owns her domain name?:confused:
Like Homer, I'll delete my bookmark now. |
I have no idea who Virgin Steele is, but my guess is that their website showing up at ChristineMcVie.com is the result of somebody's mistake. Somebody owns a hosting plan with more than one website on it; one is ChristineMcVie.com and one is, say, VirginSteele.com, and the person blundered and put the files for the Virgin Steele website in the Christine McVie directory. You'd think the person who made this error would catch it, but it's an amazing fact that a lot of people design websites and never even go look at them to see how they look. (This is one of the reasons for the many dreadful websites out there.) This is my professional guess as to what is going on.
I went to my domain registration company (dotster) and ran what is called a "whois" -- you ask the internet who owns a domain. It wasn't at all informative for ChristineMcVie.com, but it did tell me that nobody owns "ChristineMcVie.net". That would be a perfectly acceptable alternative name for a Christine site. So ... if anybody wants to make a Christine McVie fan site, I'd suggest grabbing that URL while it's still available. Most people don't realize how inexpensive having a web presence is. Owning a domain name for a year is typically around $12 (Dotster is having a sale right now for $2.50) and there are good economy web hosts that will host more than one website for fees like $6 a month. If I wasn't already VERY busy with some other web projects (or if somebody was actually going to PAY me for doing this, ha ha ha), I'd start a ChristineMcVie.net fan site myself. |

i have had the longest day (still at the office), but i logged on and saw this and it just made me smile. oddly it also made me tear up at the same time. . .but in a good way (does that make sense? i feel like i'm losing my mind right now). sometimes i can't believe that i'll never hear her voice within the context of a fleetwood mac album again, and that just kills a part of me. but then i think of all that she's given and all that's left to look back on, and i'm so grateful. |
and on another note, this virgin steele thing has to be a mistake. who would want their site under the URL of another artist's name? someone screwed up at sanctuary.
having said that, i do believe her site is gone for good now. someone want to ask john in the q&a if he'll let her know that we miss it? :) |
