What led to the Formation of our new Forum?
The new forum name, www.ramieleofficial.com, was formed in early April, 2008 to differentiate ourselves from the other ramiele.com forum (the "old site") which claims to be the official site. Many of the fans and the leadership here moved after uncovering the illegal sale of E-Bay merchandise. The Malubays were never involved in any manner with the sale of such merchandise. With Ramiele's and the Malubays' reputation in potential jeopardy, Arlene led the bold initiative to establish a new site, buying the domain name and using her own firm's resources to host this new site gratis. To differentiate ourselves from the other site claiming to be official, we named ourselves "ramieleofficial.com" because of our conformity with Mr. Roger Malubay's desire not to sell illegal E-Bay merchandise.
Who were the members of the leadership team involved in the move? Arlene is our new host/webmaster, offering her firm's technical resources gratis. Anne is our liaison with both the Malubays and our fellow fans from the Pikachu Posse at americanidol.com and helps out with technical enhancements. JSZ coordinated with AI and E-bay and law enforcement regarding the sale of illegal merchandise (Ramiele's likeness is owned by AI). Anne is also another webmaster helping Arlene on critical forum enhancements. Rohm identified and moved over the important forum contents/topics from the old site. In fact, ALL members of the leadership group of the old site have moved to this new site. None have remained there. More importantly, Ramiele's fans' desire fervently to be consolidated as one unified team to harness the dynamic synergy of a robust team working for Ramiele's international stardom.
We expect Mr. Roger Malubay to visit us again; we are expecting Ramiele to visit us soon! Mr. Roger Malubay (Ramiele's father) visited us on April 16 and spent 20 minutes to read some of the postings here. We hope Ramiele visits us soon and Roger to re-visit us. We have already created user names for both Mr. Malubay ("roger") and Ramiele ("ramiele") at Administrator level status to easily identify and track their visit and postings. You may post your greetings on "Welcome Mr. Roger and Ramiele" at the top of the Community Forum page.
What is the philosophy behind ramieleofficial.com? Our new forum is both a 1) nurturing fellowship of fans who enjoy the personal friendship and camaraderie of Ramiele's devoted fans around the world, and a 2) serious long-term endeavor to help Ramiele launch and maintain a flourishing international singing and entertainment career. This serious effort requires leadership skills in the delegation of human and technical resources. Equally importantly, though, is the help and cooperation of you, the fans, in promoting her song "Alone" to play in various radio stations worldwide and active participation in other key initiatives.
