What if New Order posts on this forum? One of your favorite NOOL members could be Barney himself! If New Order did post on here, have any ideas who they could be?

Nice thought tho' - like Steve could be out in the Studio pretending to work on a mix, while laughing at us all getting so exited about the album/gigs.
or Gillian could be in the farmhouse minding the kids (like me) looking up posts about her & thinking 'PERVS, the lot of 'em!'
I read a little while ago that they don't visit fan sites.. but their management and the label do! and Hooky's son too.
Don't think he does more than checking it up, but who knows...
Happy Jack asks: "How much online surfing do you both do? Have you seen any of the fans Electronic, Smiths and New Order sites (trust me, there are thousands)."
Bernard: "I just use it for porn...No, I'm joking...I'd rather go out and buy a book and hold something in my hand. The last thing I want to do after all day behind a computer in the studio is do it at home. We do use the net for graphics and sleeve designs. I get all the artwork emailed to me before it goes out."
Johnny: "I've checked it out fairly extensively. I've found it to be quite inspiring in some areas. I've got some quirky interests like Carl Jung, the history of native Americans and the history of Tibet. But I did check out a few fan sites. At first I was impressed and then underwhelmed because every time I went back to them they didn't update them. I tried to help out an unofficialwebsite by telling them what I was up to. If anyone has any ideas they can email my management (Ignition management) or the record company and I'll get to see them."
Bernard: "The new Electronic website is a great site. The last one wasn't so good so I hope it goes well. What would be great is if we could do something like this every month."

Why do you think Love Vigilantes appeared as the opener at Move?
Why do you think there was a 5th Disk on Retro?
Why do you think the masters of the full gigs from the Retro live disk suddenly "appeared"?
Why do you think Hooky gave that interview about playing the US and doing old songs again?
Of course they read this site and WIM! Hooky's lad Jack is a regular poster on WIM, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they have posted here under pseudonyms, we have enough evidence to suggest that if they don't read the posts themselves, the management do and tell them what is going down.....

Wait a minute, there are regular posters beside Julio there?

I know for sure you're looking for trouble when you let anonymous people post...
How could he resist?
You might have a fight on your hands, the girl on WIM is quite a charmer!

Classic...
Time to reavel the secret.
I'm Barney, and Paul Paul is Steve.
That's why I came down so hard on him, because I know he is used to our abuse.
Not that I know for certain of course but I'm sure the members of the band drop by occasionally and skim through the forums. Judging from the type of people they are they probably find it highly amusing the variety and sometimes sheer absurdity of topics we discuss here 
I agree with oldMonkey that it's no coincidence certain things have appeared, like the Retro bonus disc mostly thanks to the forums here (maybe at WIM too, I don't really follow them) I remember when the tracklistings for the boxset leaked out and there was bitter disappointment on this forum regarding the complete lack of rarities included. Most people here could've compiled the first three discs from their collection; the first two certainly were a piece of piss to assemble for any fan with all the albums in their collection.
It goes without saying New Order owe this site quite alot and Nic obviously does a sterling job 
Hope he'll get some recognition for his hard work at some point but for now the management seem content to use him as a gratis information service. They should at the very least help him out with bandwidth/server costs so he doesn't have to worry about the site constantly going down every now and then.

Well, if they really DO read the crap that we all post here, then a message for them, or their management:
'How about finally giving me the interview that Rob Gretton promised me 15 years ago??? This time it will go on NewOrderOnline.com.'

I don't think Rob's going to be giving any interviews for a while.
Well, Rob promised me an interview with the band, rather than himself...
Actually, speaking of those who aren't too well at the moment, how's yer throat your holiness?
Oh, and is it true that you're a secret Rangers fan...? 
OF COURSE they are reading this site! You don't have too many New Order related sites on the net, and this one is the most active of them all. Curiosity has certainly brought them here quite a few times I'm sure.
:)
If you were "famous" and people had fan sites, of course you'd be curious. They must have a right laugh at some of the shite posted on here.....me being as guilty as anyone to being a cant.

But if He wants to offer His blessing to us I don't mind.:D
The Retro bonus disc is really because of NewOrderOnline's forums.. that's a fact.
Although the full story is that Andy Robinson (New Order's co-manager) asked Jonathan Scott what was the reaction on the internet.. and Jonathan told him what everybody else though, and this is the counter-attack and the 5th disc was included.
I might have the full story in May, but I can assure you that the management, at least, is very aware of this website...
I know Hooky uses the internet, Stephen always been the computer guy, so he's probably doing it too... but I have serious doubts Barney is doing it though...
