yeah, I don't know why they dont just delegate official duties to Chain Of Flowers, it's much more useful!

craig posted this a little earlier tonight:
"Expect a major announcement very soon. Sadly, it won't be a fake this time."

doesn't bode well, does it?... oh well, if there are dates announced it can't be the worst thing in the world, I guess...

you guys make anything of this, on the 'official' site... 5/24/2005 5:11:26 PM - by CURE:ROBERT 1)"REMEMBER: www.thecure.com deals in NEWS not RUMOURS" We have to thrive on rumours because thats all we can get... MY POINT HERE IS THAT AS THIS IS THE 'OFFICIAL' WEBSITE THERE SEEMS LITTLE POINT IN POSTING STUFF THAT ISN'T 100% CONFIRMED - IT IS OFTEN THE CASE THAT THINGS CHANGE FROM HOUR TO HOUR NEVER MIND DAY TO DAY - ANYONE THAT PREFERS TO 'THRIVE ON RUMOURS' (THE CURE ARE DEFINITELY NOT PLAYING ANY SHOWS THIS SUMMER ETC ETC) THEN OK... I POST STUFF ON THE NEWS PAGE THAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN - HA! - AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH... I AGREE THE LAYOUT OF THE SITE IS TOO 'CORPORATE AND INFLEXIBLE' (ALTHOUGH THE TRADE OFF, AS HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, IS THAT AT LEAST THE UPDATES DO HAPPEN A BIT MORE FREQUENTLY) - BUT THIS LAYOUT WILL GET A LOT MORE PERSONALISED AND (HOPEFULLY) A LOT MORE PERSONABLE VERY SOON - RS reckon it's the real thing?!

it's kinda weird that he would post inside the forum like that, when all his other messages have been from 'geffen' and have appeared on the home page first. I also don't imagine he reads those boards too much, otherwise they wouldn't be so awful! but really- who knows?! I guess we'll find out soon enough.

it actually sounded like a veiled attack on Chain Of Flowers to me... but yeah, it definitely sounds like a 'watch this space' thing!...

# Hmm, perhaps Mr. Smith would prefer for COF to just go away. You know, I could defend the "No Cure shows this year" comment very easily, but why bother? And why involve people who don't need the hassle? I remember when running COF was fun. And the worst is yet to come.
and it would seem Craig has taken it that way too.... the plot thickens...

yeah, I definitely agree it sounded like an attack on cof- I just wasn't convinced that robert actually wrote it.
looking again today, I thought my suspicions might have been confirmed- seems that post is gone (or I'm just blind)... but then I saw that 'cure:robert' had posted something about the summer shows- & the user account lists him as a 'host,' so I guess it's legit.
oy, what a soap opera.

oh DUH! I AM blind... there it is right on the home page. (obviously I don't spend much time at the official site! ) sheesh- it certainly has caused a stir.
