Gothers.com 2500 members Celebration

admin — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 11:15:05 +0000

Sometime early yesterday Gothers.com crossed the 2,500 member threshold. I would like to thank each and everyone for joining up with Gothers. THANK YOU!!

As a small token of my appreciation I have decided to put on 22 hours of power where I will stay online from Sunday 2 a.m. through to midnight Japan Standard time. You can work out what time it is in Japan here:

And see all time zones at:

I am not exactly sure what I am going to do as entertainment, but will be online and in the chatroom to talk things up. I also hope to do a CD review of Fashion Bomb!

This will appear on my Japan (and others) Goth blog at:

So, if you have any time to give Gothers a little spin, the Web slob will be online around Saturday to Sunday depending on your time zone. Remember Igor will be online on Sunday from 2 am to midnight Japan time.

Cheers!

A month and a half has gone by without any posts. This means only one thing… other things are afoot. Currently most of my time is taken up by Gothers.com a social networking site for Goths and dark spirits. It is still small at 1800+ but is growing quite nicely. Then there is my new site that hooks directly into a million plus Gothic dating network called Goth-Match.

I miss writing about things though so maybe there will be more posts soonish.

Cheers,

Igor

Return of the native

It has been a while since I have blogged here at JGoth.com and even longer since I last updated the events list. It feels kind of weird treading this place again.

I guess since I have been persona non grata in the local Goth scene and launched the surprisingly successful Gothers.com site has taken me away from the ol’ JGoth site and the monomaniacal urge to write about local events has disappated. Not to worry, the major planned events are up and if you are already in the scene you probably have a lot more knowledge of upcoming events than I could put up here.

I miss the gigs and parties and people and vibrancy of this underground scene, but there is never enough time these days. I hope to get to a gig or two later in the year.

For now I just want to say hello to my blog and anyone who is reading it. And if you are looking for party information start by searching Tokyo Dark Castle or Midnight Mess in the search box. Or if you are in Nagoya look for Stigmatic and in Osaka, Dark Veil I think.

Fangs for the memories, I’ll be back soon.

Shirking…

admin — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:57:16 +0000

I admit, I have been shirking my duties at JGoth.com for a while. Posting up events, writing Goth reviews, blogvertising, etc. But I have an excuse… I’ve been cooking up stuff in the backroom of Gothers.com community site. Rather than creating content, hyping thingamee this, thingamee that. I have just let the site roll out and spiking extra bits into the machine.

Of course, having all the social skills of a rabid tarantula it is actually hard for me to be a… perky Goth. So Gothers.com works well for me, because it you can socialize, blog, be dour or perky, start a group or just muss about in the forums. You guys create the experience while I just hammer on extra bits as they come along. Who knows, Gothers.com could make me p-p-p-p-perky too.

To readers of JGoth who are wondering just where the hell to go, I would say keep both JGoth.com and Gothers.com in your bookmarks. I will continue doing my blog on JGoth with some event information and be doing more reviewing and stuff. But check out Gothers, because its showing signs of going slightly viral (green phlegm and all).

And lordy me, JGoth is now four years old. Happy birthday my little Blog (ex. community site, ex. blog, ex. hand-made page).

Gothers.com Social Network Officially Open

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:00:24 +0000

After testing, I am pleased to announce that Gothers.com is officially open. Gothers.com is a social network site in a similar vein to MySpace, except it’s in black and red. As a couple of the early members have found you can also customize/pimp your page. Currently there are a few dozen members, a couple of musicians offering online versions of their music, but to get this site popping I need more of you fine folk to join in.

JGoth.com will remain as my main news blog, but I will need to spend more time in the Gothers network from now on. So without further ado heeeeere’s Gothers!

10 Days On at Gothers.com

admin — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:32:29 +0000

I launched Gothers.com just on 10 days ago. The site will hopefully blossom into a full-fledged social networking site for Goths and the like, but it is still early days.

In the first 10 days there have been 40 registrations a number of pictures, some blog entries and music from two groups – check out Bendiavolo’s Blackdrops and 2Bullets Anarchism in the music section.

It is not big, but for a 10-day lifespan starting with a complete void it is not too bad.

As I have said all are welcome to join in and I will keep on working on the site and see if a few other musicians will add their music.
