  • About Dolores' official website

    Although this is cranberries.com, this forum is getting more and more "Dolores-oriented".  No surprise, it's just another proof of how much the Cranberries were and still are identified by their front woman.  Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that cranberries.com is the true official Dolores' website, because you can find more people talking about Dolores here than in doloresoriordan.ie.

    Talking about doloresoriordan.ie, what do you think of it?  Personally, I find it very poor.  An artist like Dolores shouldn't be represented on the net by such a mediocre website.  First of all, I find fault with the domain name: in my opinion the official website of an international artist shouldn't be on a national domain like .ie.  A national domain gives you the idea of a domestic artist.  But the important lacks are about the site itself: poor graphical layout, very little contents, rare and occasional updates.  For example, when Dolores was forced to cancel a couple of shows a few months ago, doloresoriordan.ie should have been the place where the fans could find official information about what was going on, but that official information wasn't actually there, if we exclude a hasty and ungrammatical apology.

    Please, Dolores, do something about it: your image can't be entrusted to such an ordinary showcase!

    Clearly we all now are up to speed on WHY Dolores' website was .ie instead of .com.

    Hopefully that will be rectified ASAP, and they will launch a website OFFICIALLY that will  showcase Dolores better than the current .ie site.

    Don't you think it's just a wee bit sad that one would wait to have .com to launch a better site? hmmmmm

     

    there's always the .net if you're looking for credibility... but who knows some other fan must have the rights to the .net

     

    Noel's monoband site has much better updates. Though, Arkitekt updates are kinda sparse now aren't they?

     

    And TLN even though their site was lacking, they made up for it on their myspace... Which leads me to dolores' myspace. Why does she even have one again? Ok now i'm just being cynical.

     

    Anyways, here's hopin that new site update is good.

    I agreed with Saeed: you don't need the perfect domain name to make a decent site!

    And we only partially know why the .com domain didn't belong to Dolores.  The doloresoriordan.com domain was registered in 2004 and I think somebody around the Cranberries or Dolores herself should have woken up before 2004...  Moreover, she could have chosen some other name on the .com domain, like dolores-oriordan.com, for instance, which is still available.

    Yes, I am hoping that there will be a better developed and (dare if you will) a forum section on the new website. Worst case scenario? Doloresoriordan.com just a direct link to Doloresoriordan.ie.  I hope not.

    Yeah ,not sure about who is updating the myspace as hard to  get an invite approved if never onlineConfused
