Michael-Vartan.net Up for Adoption

Eric — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:27:07 +0000

After thinking about this for a very long time, I’ve decided to finally put Michael Vartan Online up for adoption. After the first couple episodes of his show Hawthorne, I started to lose interest in Michael. The show is a good show, but I don’t think I could keep watching it for a long time. Plus, his character isn’t even that great on the show. In my opinion, it’s kind of boring. He also hasn’t really been making very good decisions, movie wise. His next couple movies don’t really sound all that great and it’s just not fun working on the site if the actors career is boring. I decided to maybe put the site on a hiatus or something and maybe revamp the site to get more motivation to work on. I put a Maintenance sign on the site for about 2 weeks and during those 2 weeks, I had absolutely not motivation to work on the site. I’ve tried giving the site up 2 times before, but I just couldn’t do it. But I think it’s finally time to just let go of the site. Maybe somebody better will come along and can take care of the site. So after a long while of thinking, I finally did it. It makes me sad because it is one of my oldest sites, but it’s just not fun anymore. And what’s the point of running a site if it’s not fun?

Very, Very Overwhelmed!

Eric — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:00:14 +0000

I’ve been so stressed out and overwhelmed lately that it’s not even funny! I’m just now getting over having bronchitis. I had for it like a week and a half and I just felt like crap. I’m better now, though. I’ve really been getting into having fansites more now than ever. Since I have, I’ve sort of been taking on a lot more than I can probably handle. I didn’t realize how many I had until I was trying to think of what sites I need to update. This is how many I have:

• Kenny Chesney
• Michael Vartan
• Bradley Cooper
• Melissa George
• Stana Katic
• Emily Deschanel
• One Tree Hill
• Brad Pitt
• Keith Urban
• Alexis Bledel
• Dominic Monaghan
• Matthew Perry
• Sarah Michelle Gellar
• Michelle Trachtenberg
• Penn Badgley
• Katherine Heigl

Not to mention, I have these upcoming sites:

• Sugarland
• Miranda Lambert
• Jennifer Aniston

I honestly don’t think I can handle all of these sites. These are some of the sites that I could probably live without: Michael Vartan, One Tree Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Matthew Perry, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Penn Badgley. The problem is…… I just recently took on the One Tree Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Penn Badgley sites. I don’t want to give them up because I love them all and I just took most of them on like last week, but I don’t know if I can handle all of these sites. I know I’m going to keep Kenny Chesney, Bradley Cooper, Melissa George, Stana Katic, Emily Deschanel, Brad Pitt, Keith Urban, Alexis Bledel, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Katherine Heigl. But I’m not sure about the rest….. Ugh, such a hard decision. What to do, what to do?

Co-webs, Co-webs, Co-webs

Eric — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:04:40 +0000

Ugh, I’m getting really aggravated right now. I’m having the hardest time trying to get co-webs for Melrose Place Fans. The site isn’t too well known right now because it hasn’t been open for very long, but it is the largest site for the show right now. I’ve asked around and I can’t seem to find anybody to help. I started the site because 3 other people were going to work on it with me, but they all ended up dropping out of the site. Now I’m the only person working on the site. I didn’t think it would be as hard as it is. There is just way too much coverage and I don’t have enough time to do it all by myself, especially with all my sites. If I can’t find anybody to help, I’ll probably give up the site. I don’t want to because I really, really want to see the show and I really, really want to work on the site, but I can’t do it all myself. Hopefully I can find some help soon!

Can’t do this anymore

Eric — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:02:27 +0000

I honestly don’t know if I can run Kenny Chesney Source any longer. Kenny is my all time favorite singer and I love his music, but…. I don’t know. I’ve tried so many things to get more visitors and to people more involved with the site, but nothing has worked. I know there are tons of Kenny fans out there because Kenny Chesney has sole more concert tickets in the past couple of years than any other artist out there. So I know Kenny has millions of fans out there. There is this one Kenny Chesney site out there that, in my opinion, isn’t as good, but it gets all the visitors. My site has over 30,000+ photos in the gallery, tons of Kenny info, a streaming media site, a forum, etc. and that other one doesn’t even have 200 photos in the gallery and doesn’t have as many videos as my site either. The site has a really, really active forum, but for some reason I can’t even get 5 visitors. I’ve tried a forum before and it didn’t work out and I’m trying it again and it’s not working again. It just makes me so mad and aggravated that I can’t seem to get more traffic to my site. I’m not the type of person to try and compete with other fan sites because we want to support them and we don’t make sites to compete, but it really isn’t much fun if you don’t get visitors and you don’t get any interaction. This just really puts me in a bad mood. I never have any desire to update the site and I just don’t ever feel like working on it. But I don’t want to close the site or adopt it out. This was my very first site and I love to to death and I can’t imagine closing it or somebody else running it. I just don’t know what to do. Should I give it up, close it, or try and get back into running it. I’ve been in this situation 2 times before, but I still just can’t make up my mind. What do you guys think?

School Tomorrow.

Eric — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:17:29 +0000

I unfortunately I have to go back to school tomorrow. I’ll be a junior this year. People are always making big deals about how they will be an upperclassmen, but really, I don’t see the big deal, especially in my school. People always have tons of misconceptions about high school, most of which are wrong or rarely ever happen. I never feel any different every year I go back to school. It just feels like I have different classes with different people. lol. But anyways, I’m not very excited about going to school this year! Only because the schedule is going to be completely different. I hate school and I don’t look forward to going, but it’s never as bad I make it out to be. But this year is going to be like torture. We have the most complicated schedule I’ve seen in my life!! It’s ridiculous how complicated it is. I just don’t understand why they have to change it. It was fine the way it way. Ugh, I hate going to school. Too much work. lol. There’s going to be even more work since we have 7 classes this year instead of 6. Don’t know why they added another class. Terrible decision if you ask me. Let’s hope the first day will go fine. lol. Wish me luck! lol.

Closing Eric-McCormack.net

Eric — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:22:28 +0000

So…. After thinking about this for a little bit, I’ve decided to close Eric-McCormack.net. Eric is such an amazing actor and I loved him on Will & Grace and just about everything else I’ve seen him in, but I have absolutely no motivation to work on the site any longer. I had the site up for adoption for a couple of months, but nobody ever showed any interest in it. So I took it back hoping to get more motivation for the site, but after a month or two went by, I lost interest again. His show Trust Me got canceled and then he had a new show coming up, but it didn’t get picked up. But even though he will be making guest appearances on Law & Order: SVU and The Adventures of Old Christine, I still have no desire to work on the site. So I’ve decided to close the site…..

2 New Sites!

Eric — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:05:03 +0000

I’ve been very, very busy lately, which is why I gave up the Sophia Bush site, but now I have quite a bit of time… But I highly doubt it was last. lol. I start school on Tuesday. Blah! I don’t wanna go! lol. Anyways, since I have some time on my hands, I just took on 2 new sites: Emily Deschanel Fan and Milo Ventimiglia Web! I’ve been a long time fan of Emily’s. She is such an amazing actress and I just love her on Bones and the same goes for Milo. Loved him back when he was on Gilmore Girls! I actually wasn’t going to take on the Milo site because I didn’t like the last season of Heroes, but I figured I’d give the show another chance because the new season looks pretty good. So let’s hope the show gets better. lol.

Getting Restless With My Sites

Eric — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:16:26 +0000

I’m getting very, very restless with all my sites. I love them all to death and I love running them, but at this point, I’m very bored with all of them. I can’t find anything to update and when I do, it’s something very small. None of them are really doing anything at the moment and it’s actually annoying me. lol. Since I’m getting restless, I really want to start a new site. But I’m having trouble trying to figure out somebody to one on. I really want to do one on Jennifer Garner or Katherine Heigl, but both celebs already have tons of great sites for them. I usually don’t not make sites because there are already great ones, but I feel like it would be a waste of time to make a site for a celebrity if nobody visits. Other than them, I can’t really think of any other celebrities that I want to do one on. There are so many celebrities out there, yet I can’t find one to do a site on. It’s driving me crazy. I’ll have more thought about this….

New Theme… Again.

Eric — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:11:33 +0000

As you can tell, I just put up a new theme… again. If you haven’t noticed, I’m always changing the themes on here. I just can’t stand to have the same theme for a long time. Plus, the other one was really annoying me. lol. I hope you guys like the new theme! It’s simple, but I like it!

I’m back!

Eric — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:00:35 +0000

I’m finally back from vacation! I was originally supposed to be coming back home on Tuesday, but I decided to stay 4 extra days. And believe me, I’m so happy I did! lol. I had so much fun! We went out and played Bingo (I’m so mad because I was soooo close to winning $150! I was so mad! lol) a couple of times, I hung (is that a word? lol.) out with my family, and me, my sister, my brother, my cousin, and my cousin’s boyfriend went and were throwing water balloons at random strangers! lol. It sounds mean, but it was really fun! lol. As much fun as I had, I’m glad to be home. It was killing me being away from my sites for so long! I hated it! Surprisingly, there were basically nothing to update for most of my sites. My Bradley Cooper site has tons of things to update and my Kenny Chesney one had a couple, but other than that, there was like nothing to update. That’s a relief, I guess. lol. Anyways, I’m off to go work on my new site! It’s a surprise site that nobody knows about! Take care!
