[edit] Section for delays

I think the number of delays are already enough to fill a whole section... well, rumors is that it's coming out March/April. Anyone want to update the profile? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.103.253.233 (talk) 15:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Myspace link

You have the myspace link to a fake site. It should be http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanboysmovie (talk • contribs) 22:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC) Like it originally was www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie Fanboysmovie (talk) 22:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC) Yes, you're the only site on the internet with the wrong Fanboys myspace link. It should be corrected to http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.103.179.197 (talk) 00:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

The offical site is http://www.myspace.com/fanboysfilm. The other one is fake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.137.237 (talk) 16:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Why the hell was my link taken down it is THE OFFICAL LINK TO THE MYSPACE FOR FANBOYS. The one you have is the one ran by the people behind the whole Darth Wenstein thing. It is NOT offical. Isn't Wikipedia suppsoe to onl;y use Offical links. Then why us a fake one. Also if you want proof. Both Kyle Newman(The director of the movie) and Kristen Bell(one of the stars of the movie) have it on there top firends area. They do not have the one you us here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.137.237 (talk) 17:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Whoever added the right link thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.137.237 (talk) 18:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

It has come to our attention that Wikipedia has once again changed the official http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie Myspace link to a fake site. The above unsigned comment(s) was written purely by a fan with bad spelling and grammer. Do not let this person fool Wikipedia. http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie is, in fact, run by the people here at The Weinstein Co. and not that "whole Darth Weinstein thing". We find this amusing. http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie IS the official site that also owns the official Myspace Fanboys group located at http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.groupProfile&groupID=106544788. We created the official http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie Myspace page on August 19, 2007 in anticipation of the August release last year. We currently have 19,229 friends at the time of this writing. Your (actual) fake fanboysfilm site listed above was created Feb. 27 of this year and has a mere 184 friends. It was obviously created by a fan who copied our site. That person calls thier site the "Official Fanboys Myspace". We don't need to call ours "official" to actually be official. It's not hard to tell the difference between the two. In the end http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie is the correct site simply called Fanboys. We don't have to call ourselves "official" to be official. Thank you for your time. Fanboysmovie (talk) 06:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I know for a fact that the official Fanboys MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/fanboysfilm) is NOT run by a fan but by someone who is actively involved in the movie. It is also not affiliated with the Stop Darth Weinstein campaign. Have you taken a look at it? There is no link or even any mention of SDW on their page. Also please notice how both Kyle Newman and Ernie Cline have the official Fanboys MS page as their top friend. Also, if the owners of the other Fanboys MS (http://www.myspace.com/fanboysmovie) claim they are running the site for the Weinstein Co., then it shows me just how much they care about the movie and promoting it properly. The fact that they have over 19,000 friends doesn't make up for the fact that the design of that page looks anything but professional. I'm not lobbying for the official MS page, why don't you guys just list both MS pages in the wiki links? Or is that not allowed? I don't believe any of these sites is a "fake", as you call it. They're both pages to promote the movie Fanboys and both have their merit. (talk) 15:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
