Dutch Meat Loaf fansite online!
www.meat-loaf.nl
Most Dutchies love to interact with Meat Fans all over the world. Like over here on this forum. But besides that, they also like to have a place of their own in cyberspace, where they can talk about the Big Guy in Dutch. There was no such place. So in January, I started Meat Elkaar Online, the Meat Loaf forum for Dutchies, at boardnation (free boards). I searched for Dutch Meat fans on internet, found some too...  At the promo-concert in Amsterdam Michel and Tim, the butcher, dealt out business cards and now we have 82 members.Up until yesterday, we only had the forum, which with 82 members and over 12.000 posts is alive and kicking. But my buddy Paveway built a fansite around the forum, so it's now a full-grown Dutch fansite. Many thanks to Michel and Tim's site (the first site that linked us), and internationally : Mirror Of The Soul (David and Jules) and The Multimedia Site of Jen Salyer for linking us while we had just the forum and nothing else... Many thanks for linking us, without even a real fansite around the forum. Also many thanks to R. for allowing me to promote the website. Too bad there's no "kissing" smiley around, he he... Should other sites feel the urge to link us: drop me a mail at forummaster@meat-loaf.nl or guppie@meat-loaf.nl Paveway made a good-looking banner. Now... go check out the site. Even if you can't read Dutch: just to get an impression. |

Guppy,
I just checked out the Dutch site, I like it very much! While I can't read much of it at all, I do like the overall look of it. The pics are great as well- I'll be checking back, it's very nice.  Sherrie |

Yes It's great!
If there are any Dutch Meat Loaf-fans on the internet who aren't addicted to the forum yet, the site definately will bring them to the forum "like a Sailor to a Siren!". It is also a site who's giving dutch Meat Loaf fans, who doesn't speak english very well, all the information they want to know about Meat Loaf. And it does that on a site that's good and clearly!

lol... I think it's far more easy for a Dutchy to learn Englisch as it is for an American or English person to learn dutch
We are a very small country, we can't expect the rest of the world to learn Dutch. So in 7th grade nowadays, the Dutchies learn to speak a little English. I myself like languages. I speak English. Improves while reading here everyday. And l can read German, speak a little and the same goes for French. To read is easier than to write... About the website: we want it interactive. Dutch fans sending in stories and photo's... one of the forum-members is going to do a weekly column. Like Mariella said: there can't be enough Meat fansites |

The site is very nice, I like it. I'm very sad, that there is no Austrian - ML Fan Site, but, Hey, maybe I'm going to make one, but not now, I don't have the time yet.
Only wanted to say a wonderful site, Greetings to all the Dutch Fans (and all the others all around the world, too) Rushour
