Can't beat the old IB days

Is just me or does the logo on the site no look 3D anymore?

admin 31 July, 2005 - 11:04am

I believe you're right - they've changed the logo back.

I guess TVNZ wern't allowed to use it then? :s

pseudoextinction 30 July, 2005 - 2:16pm

i like the videos but its slow to load the site

What type of internet connection do u have? I have broadband and it only takes 4-5 seconds to load each video.

I like the trivia thing. I won one of the prizes last week Sticking out tongue

Lucky. What were the prizes? I also joined a competition on their website last week and I didn't even know the prizes that they will be giving away. LMAO

Rachael. 10 July, 2005 - 4:08pm

I think its a NZ idol tshirt, tv2 pen and cd wallet, and some allens lollies. I don't have it yet but they emailed me saying that I had won. Eye-wink Laughing out loud

They don't even put all of the messages up.  That site is very pointless unless you want videos.  If Idolblog starts doing videos then it will be very much the best site for information on NZ Idol 2005.

Hmmm. Lets see if my 'idolblog' message makes it to the board.

Why the hell did they call it idol 'chat' when it takes over half an hour for your message to get on the board.

Resh. 10 July, 2005 - 1:03pm

Just had look on their website.....I'm not liking their "Idol Chat" thing. No point in me signing up to use it, doesn't seem as if i'm missing out on much. - Don't like the layout or the colours used. The background blue colour is too dark plus it's kind of hard to read peoples comments - Not very pleasing to the eye.
Simple is always good - It seems as if they were going a bit too hard out with their site.

Idolbabe 4 July, 2005 - 12:58pm
Excercise is a dirty word - everytime I hear that

They have a idol chat - Laughing out loud

more like an Idle Chat...

It's so slow! You have to wait ages for your message to be posted.

Theres really no point in it at all.

TVNZ Have uploaded new content and audition videos - check out their website.

admin 3 July, 2005 - 4:26pm

Is anyone else getting a 502 error? I've been getting it for a while on the official site. A 502 error means the server is overloaded.

Ben Supporter 10 July, 2005 - 12:48pm

Now I know what a 502 error is - Hallelujah - thanks Admin. :$

Aaron. 3 July, 2005 - 5:12pm

Not me.

admin 3 July, 2005 - 5:13pm

Yeah it was down for about an hour but starting working a little while ago again.

The screensavers are good.....  it looks like we are going to see the idolman in the elevator. TVNZ even removed the giant purple TV2 bar, great! Looks like TVNZ are trying to win the public over idolblog. Fat chance though.

Liz Shaw 3 July, 2005 - 5:53am

man, tvnz's site is pitiful. This site actually has information on idol, the contestants, access to the articles.  Who needs tvnz when you have idol blog.

Aaron. 2 July, 2005 - 10:31pm

Nah it seems more like they are listening to our advice.

I love the downloads on the new site... and the logo! But the layout is quite crowded.

vee 2 July, 2005 - 12:33am
is everyone louder than everyone else?

...um... I see Michael Murphy has put something...

Liz Shaw 2 July, 2005 - 1:08am

im heading there now.

Liz Shaw 1 July, 2005 - 11:33pm

i don't like the new site, it doesn't have much info and we can't post more than 150 characters.  I haven't joined.

This is the good site.

Jacob 1 July, 2005 - 11:30pm

The new website is quite good. I really like that green that had been added into the Idol format lately!!! Its cool!

miniTC (not verified) 1 July, 2005 - 11:12pm

what were they thinking with that forum. I cant belive I wasted my time on that site. Oh and what a great match! Telecom and TVNZ. They are perfect for each other. Both are managed extremly poorly.

Mavic 1 July, 2005 - 7:08pm

If this is an open forum and isn't moderated why do inoffensive posts keep getting deleted... please reply, don't delete.

Ev 1 July, 2005 - 7:11pm

My flying post proves that we do have moderaters Mavic - several - hehee

admin 1 July, 2005 - 7:09pm

Welcome to Idolblog, all opinions are welcome but we don't have swearing on this site. You can find out more about our guidelines here.

admin 1 July, 2005 - 6:28pm

My thoughts on the new site:

Better look
Same content
No community

And what's the deal with 4 threads per page?!

vee 1 July, 2005 - 6:24pm

hmmm.... I just registered and said hello to you.... but its not there.... does it take a while before they post it??... last year it did....

admin 1 July, 2005 - 6:25pm

Yeah it's moderated... it doesn't go up immediately.

Ev 1 July, 2005 - 6:27pm

Same as last year - boring !

Texas 1 July, 2005 - 6:06pm

I just registered and posted my first message. It's stupid! The moderator needs to read it first before displaying it on the message board. Idolblog is still the best NZ Idol messageboard around.

Mavic 1 July, 2005 - 6:31pm

You think they'd let people put up anything they wanted, Duh... Sure it doesn't have the freedom of Idol Blog but it has a lot more at stake than idol blog too... Like the contract with South Pacific Pictures and FremantleMedia.

Ev 1 July, 2005 - 6:36pm

That is why Idolblog is the best Mavic - spontaneity and immediacy = Idolblog

and heck very minute amounts of posts are really offensive - so!

Mavic 1 July, 2005 - 6:44pm

Sure there might be very few stupid posts here but one is too many for the official NZ Idol site when you have sponsors and advertisers to keep happy.

Ev 1 July, 2005 - 6:50pm

*wonders* what the criteria would be ova there -

  • no hating on Idols - haha well they can go to Idolblog for that
  • no bad language - language filters do work - nearly always hehee
  • No slanging the judges - It's only natural - esp now the comedianne Jackie is on board lol

I posted my first message 30 minutes ago and I just went to their message board again and it's displayed already. I wonder if the message board is moderated 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Mavic 1 July, 2005 - 6:40pm

 Are you volunteering?

Texas 1 July, 2005 - 6:45pm

I would but TVNZ have to pay me. I guess the moderator gets paid an hour to moderate all the messages.

Ev 1 July, 2005 - 6:43pm

Blowing Idolblogs trumpet - loudly - not volunteering - [ewwwwww]:D

Mavic 1 July, 2005 - 6:46pm

 You certainly do blow something Smiling

admin 1 July, 2005 - 6:00pm

Laughing out loud I bags first real post on the site LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm doing the Idol Trivia on the NZ Idol website. There's a question something about Frankie Stevens being on a James Bond film. Which Film is it? I need you help guys.
