Introduction
policefans.org is a fansite for The Police founded and run by sockii. The site currently features a message board for members, and is the home of PoliceWiki. The motto of the site is "by the fans, for the fans", as it is an unofficial site run without any commercial intent or purpose and provided as an alternative to the official site for the band.
Site history
The project originally began out of member frustration at ThePolice.com, where many members of the official site and fanclub were dissatisfied with what they had received for their $100 memberships in 2007 and were uncertain if they would renew their memberships, if an option was even offered to do so in 2008. When no information was provided by administrators at ThePolice.com for several months as to what would happen with renewals, the new forum at Policefans.org was launched so that members would have a venue to stay in contact if they did not renew at the official site.
The domain "policefans.org" was registered by sockii on 2008-01-11.
The messageboard forum was publicly launched on 2008-01-18 after a week of beta-testing with several early invitees. By 2008-01-24, the messageboard had 145 members.
PoliceWiki was publicly launched on 2008-04-01.
