That new website

father jack wrote: Always nice to see something fresh and New Order'y, but.....

I think NOOL would be treated the main resource for NO stuff by most people. NO would have been better off slipping the NOOL owners/moderators a couple of quid to make sure the site is updated with any "official" news, dates, images, links etc as-and-when required.

Updating a website is a very time consuming process. You have to get things just right,get permissions to use photos and give credit where credit is due,its not just a case of copying and pasting stuff as you want to make the content your own,so to speak.

If you have any site that is coded entirely by hand then unless you are an absolute html code freak,then updating a html coded site is a fucking nightmare.

I am speaking from experience and a very long one at that,two years so far.

My webhosting package will have run out before i get my fookin site finished.

where was i?

Oh yes,just saying it isnt as easy as people think to update a webshite.

To be fair, fatherjack wasn't commenting on all that stuff, just suggesting NO and NOOL work together!

Yep, just to be clear - no criticism of nool was intended and the work done to keep the site going is MASSIVELY appreciated. My point is that nool is a fantastic resource and that the new website seems a bit unnecessary given that this site has long been the main focal point for fans... Just thought it might make more sense for NO to communicate through NOOL instead of a separate channel.

This site was basically down for a week either side of their first gigs in five years.

Probably not ideal for the band to use as a communication tool.

Quite - and the news page hasn't been updated for yonks...

Do any of the Mods (apart from Jeff and Shug) actually visit this place anymore?

I think it's perfectly fine for http://www.newordernow.net/ to exist for official information and for this site to continue as a resource for rumours and "opinion".

I can't imagine New Order's management doing much to support this site when you consider some of the shit talking that's done in these forums.

Its probably nowt to do with the band but the logo/name isnt really at the same level of smug subtlety Ive come to associate with New Order.

New Order Now. Like, not then but now. Yeah, yeah we get it

Maybe New Order could do a benefit gig for...Neworderonline

i like them both...

Phil looks like he's got an itchy arse!

also, this is from the new website, kind of funny

Following the well-documented departure of bass player Peter Hook, in Spring 2007,

New Order are now:

Stephen Morris (drums) Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitar) Gillian Gilbert (keyboard, guitar) Phil Cunningham (guitar, keyboards) Tom Chapman (bass)

You mean the amazing neworder.cc?

Not only is the site gone, I can't even find any screencaps of it. If I recall correctly, it did link back here though.

I would stay satisfied with a DJ set of one the members of the band, or even ex-members

I think when they realised that even though New Order could reform, play two gigs, announce more gigs as well as Hooky give his well-documented response and none of it be reported on in NewOrderOnline News section they decided it was time to set up their own site. Don't blame them really.

Just nice to see a web site up to date for a change

If Nic would give the moderators the ability to update the frontpage, it'd be nice!

Kinda reminds me of the Pet Shop Boys artwork circa 2009.

whatever New Order do, theres always someone to moan -FAC

I took the liberty of fixing your statement... just what number should the website be?

anyone else noticed the shop section on the new site?

£75 for a pair of converse low star knock offs?

then add extra depending on what sort of paper you want it on the one they recommend not being available as an option...

I thought the same. I do like it, though.

new font sucks shit.

else it was what the press release was labelled...

Funnily enough their Facebook page still lists NOOL as the band's site. It also has The Light under likes/other interest though.

Also if you look at the bottom, it says that the site was designed by the studio Parris Wakefield. I don't think a fansite would be able to afford that.
