Resurrection

July 23, 2009 | Other

We knew we had the best and most popular Elvis-site on the WWW, but the reactions to our decision to call it a day were overwhelming. They were far beyond expectations, even from unexpected directions. Finally someone came with that offer we couldn’t refuse and after a few meetings and motivation sessions in a beautiful Spa we reconsidered… tasks were reshuffled and the noses were put in the same direction again. So we did never really quit; we just took a couple of weeks vacation!

Thank you for all the support, at the end it gave us the push in the back!

This is great, just great news. I´ve really missed you guys during this time. I want to tell you that it´s been a hard time for me since you have been away. So this is wonderful. I tried to find another Elvis site that could be as good as Elvisnews during this time. I couldn´t find one. I couldn´t even find one that was close, Elvisnews is one of a kind to me. Thank you very much.

Ever since you called it quits I still visited your site two or three times daily, hoping you will change your mind. Finally it happened and I'm so glad you reconsidered. Life is worth living again! Thanks all you lovely people. May God bless you and give you strength to carry on for the next 50 years, at least! And like other fans suggested I will gladly pay any fee if need be to keep the BEST Elvis site on the web going on and on and on...

Pagie wrote on July 24, 2009
Thanks to everyone there for continuing. I, like drjohncarpenter, had to check everyday, regardless of the fact that you where going to quit. I am especially looking forwards to Lex's reviews on upcoming bootlegs. I've not bought any since he stopped giving his opinion. I do go to other sites for reviews, but Lex's are brutally honest and I appreciate is frankness. Thanks mate. Keep up the good work.

elvis100% wrote on July 24, 2009
What can I say except I am so, but so wonderfully relieved you are not going to close down! I mean, I was absolutely shocked for the news about you're closing down, but I knew it could happen. I already watched some beautiful Elvis sites ceasing to exist due to all sort of reasons, but it's always so sad nevertheless. Being a webmaster and creator of an Elvis site myself, I just know the major task it is to manage and have the Elvis world updated, so I really treasure all your wonderful work. And never doubt that for all the reactions you got, I believe there are countless and countless more people who felt sad, too, but didn't drop you a line. I was extremelely sad. And now I am so happy... welcome you all back, guys! And keep up the good work. You are great!

I really tought that was over. Fortunalty, you decided to stay, Only fools never changes their minds. I'm pretty glad you finally came to the conclusion that was the best way. You site is very classy and I hope people who gives their opinion on this forum will be as classy as your are. Basic respect for everyone of us means that we all dig Elvis but in many different ways and that what's make it great. No need to despise another's opinion or taste. As lame as it may look, a title like Something For Eveybody can mean something meaningful here: yes there is space for evey kind of folk to enjoy with Elvis. He was in his own class by himself.Very hard to compare with...

Ha haa!!! This is unbelievable news! My IV drip has been reconnected! I had to laugh at Smile's comment about the first click of the day - that is so true. When I heard you guys were stopping the site it was like losing Elvis all over again. Ok a bit of an exaggeration there but this site is where i come for a daily sense of community with other fans. Sure we've got jobs and lives to get on with but it's so good to check in with people who have this other special part of their lives that most people in our lives don't quite get. And there just isn't anywhere better than ElvisNews to get the latest news and everyone's views. Welcome back. I'm proud to be part of this community ands thank you for continuing to serve in in such irreplaceable style! Wat to keep on TCBing!
