I didn't sign the list (didn't know there was one), but I reject the notion that I have to sign a list to be your fan.

You should know I'm your fan without any silly list.

Viva John Barlos!

Hey John,

If you go into your control panel and click on "Fans" (upper right side) you'll see that those people who originally signed up as fans are still listed there.

What happened was that the only person who signed on as a fan who was a member of ezFolk was me, so I'm the only one showing up now. When we first started the fan system anybody could sign on as a fan with just their email address. Then the spam started, which was followed by the relentless moron who started posting vicious attacks everywhere on ezFolk that he could, I had to change the access so that the only people allowed to do much of anything such as become fans, make comments, and that type of thing had to be either members or artists, and with that the fans and comments, etc., by people who were not members stopped being listed. So if you know any of those people personally you could invite them to become members of ezFolk to sign on as a fan again.

I do think the fan system is good although I know it's not something everybody likes. It's what has made MySpace and other places like it so popular. The networking between artists and fans or artists and artists is great. Instead of each person being on a little island of their own there's this whole system of interaction that occurs when people network like that. I think it makes a huge difference when everybody can connect like that.

Anyhoo, sorry about the change but it's just something I needed to do to keep some measure of sanity around here.
:hat:

Thanks Johnny.  The list comes in handy for emailing notifications to all of your fans and with that huge fan base of yours it could be a huge time saver! :D
