Disciple said:This is just my humble opinion, but I think it's high time that one or more of the main site moderators (Craig Robertson, etc) approached Seagal via his agent or some other representative and offered their services to help run the OFFICIAL site. Obviously to prove their ability and suitability for the job, they could show their work at this unofficial site. I think I remember hearing how other celebrities' unofficial fan clubs have become official ones in this way.
Frankly, I think that the current unofficial site could very easily convert to an "official" one, with only minimal changes (mostly cosmetic, i.e. some flashier graphics here and there maybe)
Anyway, just thinking out loud...
Yes and No......it would be nice to be recognised as the "official site'...but then this site would be subject to extreme limitations in what we could present...this site would automatically become open for legal repercussions if someone wanted to pursue it...
I've seen it happen on the Enya site....where originally it was a pretty open site.....but when Reprise turned over authorization to them to take over the official site.they became very Enya consciense....where once you cold post 'un-authorised music & videos" became a big no-no...
I got blasted by them for doing that.....and posting how to download video ,music,etc.....
so in a way it may be flattering to become an 'official site'....it also would put limits on the site as well....wonder why they never had the Seagal trailers on the official site???..that's because they don't 'own' them to be able to post....we could basically threw the message board because that could be easily deleted by them and is not actually aprt of the official site in the way that the site is presented........
you know......it all boils down to 'ownership & profits'

PS: I did e-mail Sony(marketing dept.) back awhile ago asking about such endorsement for the Out For A kill trailer ...explaing that not only would it be nice for fans ..but also would help exposure for the movie.......of course I got no response.....lol
