RAVEN'S BIGGEST FAN COMES FOR HER HARD

You know you're in trouble when the creator of her biggest fan site, Raven-Symone.org, comes for you in an email.

Here is what he had to say:

CLOSED
The time has come for me to personally close the site. We were at the top of our game and I cannot be more happy with the way the site had gone. The members were all so loyal. However I made the decision to close the site based on this past year. This was supposed to be the best year for Raven professionally and she wasted it! The movie did great, she promoted I couldn't have been happier, I got to meet her and even though she was very standoffish it completed my goal of wanting to meet her.

The whole album deal just infuriates me! She had a great album and she refused to do anything with it. She ended up selling only 4,400 copies!!!! That is a huge flop. She did zero promotion and didn't acknowledge it on her OWN official website which showed little to no care for this album which is sad. What just did it for me was her management team, we were told we would get an interview for the website 4 months ago… then it comes time for it and they decide we don't need it. Cause raven is so busy right? All the promotion we did online for years was nothing but free promotion for them. I am done supporting someone who just doesn't care about her projects. I wish all the fans well and as for me, I have finally moved on…

I remember recently reading on madonnaTribe.com that the site creator went through the same thing with Madonna (or her people, if you will). They put so much time and hard work into these sites because they have nothing but love for you, and he didn't get tickets to her Roseland performance. I love madonna, but from her capitalist ways, we all know money is more important to her. She would rather you spend money or wait on line for days just to see her perform for thirty minutes. my whole point to this is treat your fans with respect. As fast as they make you the star that youi are, is as fast as they can take it all away.
