^Naws.... If we make our own wFL Forums then we gotta have MONEY! XD Hahaha!

Plus do you really have FLAME and Lead news?

Ehh I don't think w-inds. are all THAT SUPER POPULAR as they used to be during their younger years. like from Forever Memories - Shiki era.

Ahhh. I can't believe w-inds. can't go on Music Station. And I love Johnny's (well, mainly just Kame, Jin, Uchi, and Pi. Ehr, and Toma). xD

Yeah...w-inds.'s popularity is dying down, sadly. I was just looking around on Wikipedia and their sales for their 'Journey' album is so low compared to their other album sales. =[ But maybe their more focused on music they want to do than what would appeal to the media.

Hrmm, well
1) w-inds. are still pretty popular, but moreso in other countries nowadays I think. like Taiwan and Hong Kong for example :33
But there's still a lot of w-inds. things in Japan. I think you just have to know where to look?

2) like Kassi said, making out own forum = money. and management is dreadful :\
plus trying to get it back up to speed again would be horrible. but then again, it we have enough willing people, it could work. it's just the fact that a lot of us still are in school :\
that's why it was so much stress on Nyao. Private life + school + forum. & forums always have a few or so stupid people that don't understand respect for others or the virtue of patience =-=;

FLAME & Lead are going to have a live together on the 30th of September :D
check it out on the VF website

:\ yeah, I know. but it's only dying down in Japan, I think. mostly? I dunno, it's not that low. there are still a lot of new fans and stuff that like their music. 'cause their sales over there is only based on Japan sales. you know, the oricon and stuff. and I know a lot of people that buy Taiwanese things 'cause it's cheaper or buy from YesAsia 'cause 25 USD + is no shipping, so yeah
but in the end it's all about peoples' tastes, I guess? Like for me, w-inds.' new music I like, but sometimes it has to grow on me :\

^^
check it out here

about wFLforums.org
okay, so I talked to Nyao today [yay!]
and she's been busy 'cause she's working full-time now.
but anyways,
I found out why the forums were up in April for a short amount of time and then crashed.
Basically, the version of InvisionBoards that wFLforums.org used was 1.3
pretty outdated, 'cause the newest one is 3. something, right?
so anyways, when we switched hosts back in April, it worked for a while, right? but then since the version was so outdated it clashed with the new host. So, all Nyao has to do is update the forums. She said she's sent an e-mail to the host yesterday or something and that she's waiting for the reply right now.
She says it'll probably be done within two weeks. MAYBE within a week, but keep in mind she's working & going to be a senior in high school, so maybe a little over a week.
Anyways, don't worry 'cause the Forums are definitely coming back. I'll let you all know if there are any other updates 8]

'til then,
Vi <3;

^^ Well, we're working on it :]
I don't know if you've heard of this convention, but it's called "PMX", short for "Pacific Media Expo".
And we got a lot of people from w-inds.swept [unofficial fanclub. check it out at www.w-inds.ws] to go and request w-inds. over there. They have the most requests, and someone I know that works at PMX says that w-inds. are definitely still in the running. They're going to announce stuff once the artists that are coming is confirmed. :]
but if you want to help, then you just have to comment in the musical suggestions in the PMX forums. the more the merrier :D

& yeah I know what you mean! haha, I always got my news from there, too <3;

I can't. you have to sign up with the PMX forum & do it ^^a;
besides, it wouldn't be right. it's like, if you aren't going to request, then what makes them think that you're going to really go to the concert? :\
