Hey all!
So I have been updating a few things here and there on the site (bio, music and tour pages, for instance -- works in progress are some), and as I'm sure you can tell I am trying to be as on top of the news as possible to keep the site active and reliable for fans.
With that in mind, the next thing I'd like to improve is our social media and fan interaction side of business. So... I would like to ask you but one simple question: what do YOU want to see from Wolfmother.net? Whether it's contests, polls, features (I have an idea to maybe do a Throwback Thursday-type thing in which we either look back at a date in Wolfmother's history, or even an old post from the site), interviews or fan-driven content-type stuff, we want to hear from you!
There's no timeline or anything, it's all just open and freeform, I just feel like we don't reach out to you nearly enough, and we have some great passionate family members out there!
Oh, and if you're going to suggest improving the look of the website, forums or social media... that should hopefully be going soon, I just need to plan it out and iron out a few kinks first! (And to the guy who reached out with graphical skills, don't worry, I haven't forgotten you... although clearly I don't remember who you are off the top of my head -- sorry!)
Love, Andre

Here's a few ideas at the top of my head:
1- We could have sticky threads (or pinned) about WM social media updates with minor news and such. 2-A Bootleg session or official thread 3- A Keep Moving and side projects session
But what we mostly need are more members, keeping this more active. I've seen someone comment on the WM facebook page about these boards, telling people to join. We could do that.
PS: I was the one who reached out for the forum design!

How about all of the above and if a few things don't stick we stop doing it. But you mentioned interviews... I know the site did an interview with Andrew a couple years back but I think if we got one with him and maybe if Ian was interested that would be cool.

Any thoughts about the site itself though? Oh, and I will be reaching out soon on the design part mate

Yeah, we should have no problem getting another interview with Andrew, although it might be more difficult now with the album release and tour imminent! I will try to reach out to all my contacts for new interviews with current and former members... maybe Vin would be good, since he's kinda disappeared...

Imo, first of all we need to improve the forum design. People who come here for the first time need some goodlooking stuff that will make them want to subscribe . - Is it possible to remove the "private" mod of the forum? I mean, if you're not registered you can't see any WM discussion without logging in, new people might think that the forum is inactive - Spamming the forum board under WM's posts on facebook and youtube, so that people will know that we're here and we're active. (But to do so, first two points are needed) - The site is good, news are coming very fast (thank you Andre for your work ). Maybe when the album comes out we'll need to add all the new lyrics
