wooot~ We are Pinoy Dears

[bugackt]

Yatta~! Finally...

Some of you might have known about this Gackt fansite but I want to announce it anyways.. ^___^V  Here is Pinoy Dears -- Gackt's Home in the Philippines.  We WISH to be like Gackt-and-Dears community.. though you might think it's too high an ambition, we want it to be like the official community site, heheh~~

Pinoy Dears was originally an idea of vanillamarmalad   and another Filipino friend living abroad. This group had been around for some time and it was just last year that I found and finally joined them.  Last month, I got the domain for the group and with vanillamarmalad  's permission, Pinoy Dears dot com has come to life. 

Credits (1) to my brother, Toru, who taught me how to use CMS (Content Management System), which is also used by Gackt-and-Dears (and oh yeah, also JRock Revolution ^^).  (2) and to my boss for leading me to this affordable hosting site, ploghost.com. LOL

But as we opened the membership registration, we received numbers of applications from non-Filipinos.  So the administrators, including me, decided to make a notice to clear out this thing and some other issues:

1. Pinoy Dears was specifically created to bring Filipino Gackt fans together.
   
   
2. Since the organization is located in Southeast Asia, we are pleased to open our doors to members from the region, specifically those from countries that do not, as yet, have any Gackt-related organizations. (Southeast Asia = Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and The Philippines)
   
   
3. Much as we would like to accommodate membership applications from those outside the region, we have to decline in light of the fact that several western countries have unofficial Gackt fan clubs already.  It wouldn't be fair to anyone if we were to accept these memberships as many of the activities we have planned are Philippines-only.
   
   
4. With regard to translations, much of the stuff we are posting online are going to be in English.  As proud as we are of our native tongue, it takes about forever and six days to translate anything from Nihongo to Tagalog.  Besides, English is still a global tongue.  (someone asked for Tagalog translation of Jihaku ^^;)
   
   
5. Hotlinking to images is strictly forbidden, and so is demanding downloads.  We're sticking to strict schedules regarding these as these eat up bandwidth in a major way.
   

I want to personally apologize to those non-Filipinos who joined us, but hope you understand our point.  We don't want to be labeled "racists" and of course, we want all Gackt fans to be one.  But wouldn't it be much easier to communicate and meet with fellow dears in the same region? ^______^V 

And so in relation to this issue, I listed these unofficial Gackt fan club sites.

North American Dears   |   French Dears  |  Italian Dears
Portuguese Dears  |  Spanish Dears  |  German Dears

World Dears

If you guys know some other unofficial fanclubs from other countries, please please inform us.  Thank you.

woah... you lucky girl : 3 If it wasn't that I was a foreigner, I would have joined, (I would've if I didn't read this XD;) but yeah, I don't wanna intrude on something.

It's a shame here though where I live, there are Gackt fans, they're just... unreachable. Somehow, it's hard to get them together, or excited for anything social in general. This is what I hate about my country, and why I connect with Dears all around the world much better. I hate my people D=
I would love to have a day to meet Dears... and just do Gackty stuff without having to hold back because other people dont like him as much as me ;_;

demo, good luck with the site, as it looks very good ^___^ Webdesign is what I'm aiming for right now to make money with, but unfortunately I don't know how to use SMC yet .__. Must research about that XDDD
For now I'll just stick with flash and html and the like :)v ganbatte masu and have fun with the other Dears! <3

Thank you Nao-chan!!

Let's ask Gackt to move Netherlands to Asia LOL But I still wish that Dears in your country be united soon...

And oh yeah, I think you'll learn CMS in no time coz it doesn't require much of the coding. My brother taught me the basics just the other week and now I'm doing it all alone. I'm not good at flash, though, so I make him promise me to add some animation on the site ^^;

Ganbatte with school/work!! *huggles*
