SimplePlan.cz celebrates 11 years online!

Year after year it gets all the more harder to realize how fast time flies. Did you know that today, for instance, marks the 11th anniversary of SimplePlan.cz?

Granted, it already was half-alive 2 years prior to that in a blog-form (est. 2005), but the official beginning on this platform dates back to August 13th 2007, when I decided that a blog just wasn’t enough – that the fandom needed something a bit bigger and more credible [if you’re not familiar with the SimplePlan.cz history, give it a read!].

11 years later and without any breaks, SimplePlan.cz is still here as the longest continuously running fansite about SimplePlan on the internet.

“… But Dominika, how do you even manage it all by yourself?”, I often get asked. To be quite honest, even though I do run the website alone, I would never be able do it “all by myself” if I didn’t have help from the rest of the fandom. It always baffles me how many fans are willing to help out just so that other fans can know their favorite band a little better – whether it’s by taking photos for the website, filming a video of a special appearance, translating a French interview, sending in a setlist or just letting us know about some of the highlights from a show they just attended the night before. All of that put together is how this website can still be alive – thanks to you. All of you who visit the website, who have helped make any article happen or even just commented under our social media posts, are the reason why this website keeps growing and has the ability to offer Simple Plan fans more insights into the work of the band and their music. Because we all know it’s not just about the official press releases – there’s so much more to be found in the SP world and we don’t even need to be tabloid about it. It’s absolutely fantastic to have such a dedicated group of little Simple Plan soldiers out there all around the world, willing to give a helping hand! Thank you SO MUCH for all of that!

And even though there aren’t any more shows planned in the near future, don’t fret! I’ll make sure there’s plenty of news that can keep your curious minds busy, but most importantly – we have the whole process of the making of the sixth Simple Plan album ahead of us! Who knows what we can expect?

What you can definitely be counting on though, is that SimplePlan.cz be there every step of the way, hoping that you will join us on this journey!

Obviously, the biggest thanks as always goes to the Simple Plan boys, for still going strong and being so involved with and dedicated to their fandom. We appreciate it a lot. On a personal note – thanks Pierre, Chuck, Jeff, Seb and David for all the support you’ve given this website over the years, especially in the TOFTT era. We all look forward to seeing what’s next for you and absolutely can’t wait to see you ALL together on stage again.

Well, time to get started on year no. 12, shall we? The battery is full and my keyboard is ready – let’s see what the future holds in the world of SP news!

Thanks for all the support, guys! I meant it.
