Hail Gothic Darklings,

Due to some attacks in the last few months we are preparing some new sites for the GothVille community. Yes indeed, you read it correct, community.

We are preparing a site dedicated for community building. When you like gothic, wave, industrial, ebm, darkfolk, gothmetal, ... and you want to blog in the dark, we will have soon our bright white and new gothville.net site online.

Other things will change also. our main, and first born site gothville.com will have a new look and functions, but also less then current. This site will be only for the Streaming Radio and The GothVille Guardian part. There is even a change our Guardian will become available on paper on a monthly base.

For a complete overview, please read on and be aware that changes during the next few weeks in this article are possible!!!

Please visit also our Survey Pages. We want to have your vote on several statements which will help us to decide some things for the future...

Below we will show you some targets and future plans for the GothVille Project and its websites. Currently only www.gothville.com is active and contains most of the features in one platform. Many parts are hidden after several menu's and the used techniques are a bit old.

First Step (Summer 2008)
Our first step will be the start of the makeover. www.gothville.net will open and all members will be informed when this event takes place. We will not add our current members to this new system, neither will we connect the user databases between all websites. You will have to register for each project and can decide wich part(s) you want access to.

This community site will have many features for its members to search for other people, read/write personal blogs, groups of interest, music and video posts, image gallery, forums, chat and an own Instant Message (IM) system.

Second Step (Summer 2008)
At the same time of the first step, the main website (www.gothville.com) will loose some features. The blogging part, buddy list and tools, forums, chat castle and all related pages off these modules.

Third Step (Autumn 2008)
All information about GothVille, help pages and support pages, Faq's, DJ information and Clubnight information will be moved to our www.gothville.org website. This site will also be used by our volunteers who bring us news, reviews and music. People will be informed about their new login for this site and current info pages on the .com site will be deleted.

Fourth Step (Winter 2008)
Re-opening of the www.gothville.com site. The site will then have all new features for better music pleasure. Reviews written by people worldwide, news about bands and labels, party calendar for darkscene related performances, and if possible also a gothville television stream. The birth of our paper Guardian edition would be nice if we have found enough support for it.

Fifth Step (Winter 2008-09)
Opening of our www.gothle.com project. Indexing is going on for several months, and a trial has to be finished for public beta tests. All weblinks will be moved to this site.

These targets could change during the next few weeks because we are negotiating with several friends and supporters of the GothVlle project. So keep an eye on this article if you like...
